From all accounts that we are able to };ather, the German submarine is becoming less effective on sea and the German air lighters are fretting the worst of it in the air, and on land, except the Russian front they seem to be getting the worst of it. All of J which goes to prove that they will | soon get enough of it all round.

More people are reading newspapers today than ever in the history of the world, and it goes without saying that the habit once formed will be adhered to. This is one good result of the great war. People are informing themselves; they are being taught more real geography than they ever learned in school and they are taking a broader view of affairs than ever before. Men, who, a few years ago, were content to go for weeks and never look at a paper are now daily readers of some newspaper. It is to be hoped that those guilty of hoarding up and storing great quantities of sugar will be severely ; dealt with hv the a i nu.vl IIIMVIlt. /-v nulldreu and fifty car loads, it is said, was ' stored in one warehouse up north and discovered by government agents. There are doubtless many other ca v., : where the same thinvr has been done 1 that have never come to li^ht. A man ' who speculates in the necesssities of ( life in a crisis like that which faces I the people of these United States, is ' too mean to be allowed to go free. He * should bo locked up. A (Treat many farmers in the lowei ' part of this State made a small fortune from their crops of Irish po- ( tatoes this year. We have been won- I dcring why our farmers could not s have done the same thing. We have | not noticed the price of Irish potatoes ( going down to any great extent, and n t ,ve do know from actual observation ;hat many of our farmers know how to raise potatoes to a high degree of perfection. We are wondering if it would not be a very great advantage to plant Irish potatoes another season we do not believe they will reach any low level in price for another year. The following timely advice is given by Prof. A. A. Sims, editor of The Negro Journal, to the members of his race; the advice is pertinent, and might be heeded bv all our people, white and colored: Now you can hear some one saying, "I wish I had some cotton to sell, I wish I had a crib of corn and a couple of pigs." These very same persons have had the opportunity to raise all of these things, but they did not use their opportunity. They wished too late. Now is the time to make your next fall's wishes. We are going to need cotton, corn, wheat, potatoes and all omer lootisuiii just as had next year, or worse, than we (lo now and if we do 11. t put our wishes into operation now we will he in a worse li\ than we are now. l.et us t>e up now and on with the plowman's sonic. Put the light grain in the ground now and prepare for next year. Any fool can wish when it is too late. f N | Editorial Clippings j You may have observed, as we have done, how intensely loyal to the United States pso-Gerntan editors of seditious newspapers become the moment they are placed under arrest.?Now Orleans States.

As we start on our second Liberty Loan the (German citizen is being asked to subscribe to the seventh for the fatherland. And the serious part of it for the Herman is that his government's promise to pay is based merely on the hope of German victory with the victor's booty. Germany is flooded with flat mosey; resources yet untouched are h< hind the Liberty Loan and Uncle Sam has never yet failed to redeem his promise to pay. -Ashevilli? Times. Their i- talk of again mukimr Wood row Wilson the nominee of the democratir party fc- president. We believe that Wilson is one of the best and greatest presidents this country ever had, but we are opposed to giving a third teim. It would be setting a dangerous precedent. While we are trying to destroy oneman power in Kurope, let's not establish an autocracy in America. Nor do we favor the continuance of family power by allowing the President Wilson to be succeeded by his son-in-law, Wm. (1. McAdoo.?Pee Pee Advocate. Union, whose principal suburbs are Spartanburg and Santuc, now points with pride to The Union Daily Times, its first daily newspaper. It is very trim in appearance; it carries a lib era I quantity of advertising. as it amply deserves, and it has The Associated Press service. The local news is live. The Times is a very old newspaper, founded long before the War Between the States. Its present editor is I,. M. Rice, a Furman alumnus and a Baptist minister, who for a number of years has had charge of it and transformed it from a relic into a lively journal. Its policy will ho justice and righteousness. Editor Rice is fair and "broad, a man of warm sympathies and kindly disposition toA'ard all the world. He hits the line mid, but he is no fanatic, nor narrow '.eulot. The Union Daily Times will, 10 doubt, aid materially in winning L'nion a larger place on the map. It "epresents a good deal of courage "in hese parlous times" and a vast lot ol energy and enterprise.

President Lyman Powell, of Hobert 'ollege, just back from a tour of 'ranee and England, where he was out to investigate conditions as a epresentative of the Association of Residents of Colleges and Universiies of the United States, brings a ricssage which all of us should read.

He bids us dismiss from our 1 minds the comforting idea that the 1 Herman atrocities were exaggerated 11 in the reports that we have read. The J; accounts of those atrocities were not 1 propaganda, he declares; they were j t the truth. ,\ Dr. Powell visited Chauney, evac-j 1 uatcd by the Germans last summer, j s When the Germans were about to \ leave, he tells us, "they herded all the \ young women and young men into a r parking space and selected the young s men for service of one sort or another t behind the lines. Then they lined up I it he young women according to rank in j 1 beauty. The highest official chose the .< fairest as his servant, the next officers \ made their selections, and finally the | common soldiers took their pick." ^ I Dr. Powell is an American educator of high reputation, lie speaks as the representative of a great association of American educators. It is beyond ! question that he speaks truthfully, jthat the Germans actually did these ' , t hings which he tells us they did at 1 | Chauney, the ruins and the wretched survivors of which he has just seen. 1 Can Americans, pondering these c crimes, be lukewarm in their support 0 ' <?f the righteous war which America * ! is waging against, this ninnstor r>f ^ j Prussianism ?
