It strikes me that you must be rather sure of your immunity from prosecution in attempting to run so contrary to a declared public policy.

Greenville.—Several new automobile clubs have been formed over the State during the past ten days, it was an nounced at the headquarters of the State Automobile Association here Saturday, A live club of 41 members at Ches ter has' been formed. A club has been formed at Edge- field with 41, members. A club with 31 members has beer, formed at McCormick and the club at York has recently taken on a large number’of new members. The slogan of the State ^utorafobile Association |3 "Better Roads for South Carolina," and the association intends to push the campaign for permanent highways' in’ the State, it is declared. The specter of 1914 stalks before the cotton farmers of the South, de clared Senator George K. Laney. of Chesterfield* who was a Columbia visitor recently. Tt is his opinion that if the farmers plant a^large crop ot^ cotton and the restrictions on the. ex portation of the staple are not re moved that the South will face dis aster. Senator Laney, Wtio has a farm himself, says that the cost of produc tion of this year's cotton crop is going to be as heavy as the cost of produc ing last year’s crop. The farmers cannot afford, he declared, to raise two crops and sell them at below the cost of production. It means ruin for many of them. _1 The Chesterfield farmers are reduc ing heavily, said the senator, who de clared that they were going to raise more foodstuffs than ever before. “They are playing ‘safety first’ and are not taking any chances,” lie said. Senator Laney believes that if all restrictions were removed around the exportation of cotton, that the price of the staple would soar to great heights, but the farmer !s not able to take the chance on the removfcl of these restrictions. Things are a little too unsettled. Gardening Time Get Ready! ♦ <*. * » And remember that TODD’S is headquarters for all kinds of Garden Seed, also Bliss and Cobbler Soldiers Go to Farms. • Columbia.—Everybody must work these days. The camp employment office tries to make the men realize this before they are discharged. It is providing a place to work and some thing to do for those worthy. The American doughboy has demonstrated that he wilfi help himself if given a chance. This office is giving him a big chance. Thus fayr the United States employment service has placed many in positions for which they were qualified. The week before last 3,550 men 'passed through the office. Last week was even larger with 4,146 men. One of the best things accomplished by the office is getting men not only to return to farm* but getting city bred men to try the simple life. \ • .. ;— Chester and Rock Hill Win. 7~ Rock Hill—In the fifth annual ora torical contest of the Catawba Associ ation held in* the Rock Hill High School auditorium, John Marion of Chester High School wsre the winner of first place in the boys’ contest, Fred B~’ant of the Rock Hill High School se-^nd place.

A new trial was ordered. Few Overseas Enlistments. Nearly 100 men have re-enlisted for domestic duty in the regular army. There were only 27 who wished to go overseas badly enough to sign up for three years. This can be explain ed by the fact that so many wish to remain in the organizations they are now attached to. Seaport camps or camps nearer the ocean enlist most ijiM^for overseas duty. * An average, fmlw the re-eplistnignts in the United States shows that half wish domestic and half foreign duty.
