Columbia, Nov. 19.-Senator Silith, of South Carolina, in an interview here, discussed the cotton situationAs regards to foreign trade. Ile said that In view of the fact that England, as well as the other countries at war, have declared cotton to be non-contra band, "it seeins that the situation would be greatly relieved if the Aneri can Government would use every means within its power to obtain ves sels for transporting cotton to the different countries." Senator Snith announced that he had received several letters fromn for eign correspondents bearing oi the cotton situation. The cor'respondents fron Gerinany stated tlat, in spite of the war, Germany Would probably consuine as much American cotton as ever, if not more, if the supply could be obtained. The lRussian correspond Vut indinCtes thai were transportation facilities obtainale, Russia also would use hter' usual quota of American cot (on. "I intend to use these letters," said Senator .mith, "before the propier au thoritles in Washington, inl order to exie(lite the pifection of trantsporta tionl facilities. "A rather signiflcant statement in the letter fromi Ger-'timany Is the one to the effect that one of the causes of restricted purchases or cotton here was the Aiericanl exporters refusing to necept purcllases onl 60 and 90 days, as lieretofore, but ils is also Ilmodilled by the statemlenit inl the samel para graph to tiie effect that ample funds are available if le (otton could be gotten at. all.

Col. Watson declared that the trouble with the people is waste and improvident ways anid the inability to grasp the situittion and produce at home the things that are consumed 'at home. when, this can be done so easily and at such a reduced cost. Taking the city of Columbia for ex ample, lie said that lie had inquired among the thinking and earnest c-m mission metn of the city and htlI learn ed tat something like 800 cars of pro duce were shipped into the city of Co lumbia. One fIlrm alone -handled 1,2 cars of Packing house products, sides, fat backs, lard, etc., and the total valne of packing house products receeived last year was imearly $3,000.000--11l1 from beyond the borders of the State. What difference did it make what the Profit on cotton was if it Is all to be hustled out of the state mr stuff like his, lie asked. One commissioh merchant had ex claimed that the whole system is rot. ten. "I believe in the movement uin dertaken by tie state department of agriculture," he said. "I think or ough of the State of South Carolina to ap preclate that this whole system . is wrong. And any time that the people will have sense enough to raise their own stuff at home and pt: ile ot of business 1 will be able to find an other Job somewhere Ahse. Dtw until that time comes I expect to ilssh illy sales as large as possible ,n.l ats Io estly as I can." Among the astonishing things that had been learned from Columbia (-omn mission merchants was that there have been flve cars of turnips shipped into Columbia in the last four weeks from where? From Canada. And theme have been many cars of cabbage from New York state and there are a him dred ears of canned tomatoes and veg etables a year. Not to mention 20,000 barrels of Irish Potatoes at ant aver age of 35 cents a peck and million pounds of cabbage at from $1 to $3 per hundred. Talk of hard times?

Tle following figures are the esti mated consumption per month by the average family in Columbia: Flour-Ifty postnds at $6 per barrel. Butter-eight pounds at 37 1-2 cents. Condensed Milk-twelve cans at $1.25 per dozen. I-log Products-bacon, 12 to 15 pounds at, 15 ceilts; ham, 40 pounds at 22 cents; strips, 10 pounds at 27 cents. The volume of business done in grainl is also astonishing. A reliable commission merchant reports that last year there were 150,000 bushels of oats shipped into the city, average price 50 cents per bushel; 15,000 tons of mixed feed, supplementing the oats. Corn, 625,000 bushels at an average of 90. cents. Wheat, 6M25,000 bushels represented in 125,000 barrels of flour at $5.10 to $6 per barrel. Tile city of Columbia uses annually about 1 6,000 barrels of apples and nany thousands of dollars are spent for iciles anid iekled vegetables, which could have been put. Up at 1101110.

If I understand it right, it is the duty or'a supet'visor to put his time to the affairs pertaining to that ofice, and if he has time to spare to look after farming, etc., it seems to us he could have time to at least see what a de plorable condition some of our roads are Il. We are just about to go into the winter with about as bad roads as we have ever seen. If he will visit the "vicinity of Waterloo" I think he will find soine roads that would scare a Rocky Mountain billy goat. The ronds that we most need in win ter are the least Jooked after. The good Lord gives us good roads in sun\ iner and we care very little about them at that time, so far as cosy travel Is concerned, the very places that are a menace to the public in winter, are not scarcely touched at any time in the wiay of repair. There is, to my13 certain knowledge, about 90 per cent of the small bridges along the roads of Waterloo township that are in real bad condition, and on three occasions in one day recently, the writer had to stop1 his buggy, get out and place fence rails on bridges so as to cross. We are aware of the fact that tie roads surrounding the town of Laurens for a few miles are "flIle"-but we pCQple who live to travel from 10 to 20 miles to get to the county court house, have to bear the burden of bad roads at the expense of our horse and mule flesh and yet this is "Progressive Laurens."
