With the ex-Kaiser, the path of glory led to the wood saw. * * * * The political campaign has opened in Greenwood by the announcement of a candidate for auditor. * * * * The press and pulpit are crying aloud against the late fashions but that doesn't make the nifty skirts any longer. * * * * Something may have to be left out of the family supply bill but it is safe to say that it will not be the Easter hat. * * * * We wonder how many people ever expected to see cotton sell for $1 per pound? It is true that it is long sta ple cotton which brings that price, but it is cotton. * * * * Some Greenwood people are no longer satisfied with the kind of bornes "Paw" and "Maw" lived in and are building residences that cost thirty thousand and upwards. Well, that's a pardonable ambition. * * * * One of the old poets admonished his readers to "hitch their wagons to a star." The grocery wagons are about the only kind now that are hitched to the stars and the "long green" can scarcely reach them. * * * * . Speaking of "figure heads," what ever they are, King George of Eng land stands at the head of the list. About all one ever hears of him do ing is going driving in the royal car riage, possibly royal limousine now. ? * i> . Not being satisfied with Ger many's failure to experience real war on her own soil, Mars put it into the hearts of the German people to wage war among themselves.' Real peace in Germany is about as far off as Tip perary used to be. * * * * Have a thought for the dumb brutes. The lateness of farm work will doubtless cause many farmers to rush their stock too much. Having been idle in the stables practically since fall, draft stock can not at first stand heavy work as well as they can later. Shield them all you can. * * * * Somehow President Wilson is look efl upon in many quarters as being hard-headed, and if he fails to heed the advice of his friends to keep out of the presidential race this summer, he will prove himself to be very, very hard-headed. * * * * "Reduce Cotton Acreage. The farmer who stoutly refuses to believe the boll weevil to be a real, live, hurtful enemy and goes on straitway preparing for the usual, or perchance increased, cotton acreage, will sooner or later find himself again in the unfortunate plight of 1914. If so, he has no one to blame but him self. He is going headlong into trou ble fully informed of the danger. The beavy blow of 1914 came as a bolt pi thunder from a cloudless sky. No ?varning was given farmers to pre pare for the worst. They planted their usual acreage in cotton in the .spring of 1914, entertaining the hope that the price in the fall would be around 12 cents. After Germany stabbed the world in the back, the blow being felt around the world, and nowhere with greater force and .with more direful consequences than right here in the cotton belt of the South, the price dropped to five cents .with no market even at so low a price. Guard against a repetition of the 1914 disaster. Reduce the cotton acreage and correspondingly increase the acreage of food crops. , >:<*** Be Careful With Fire. To urge the people in Edgefield to be careful with fire after the recent conflagration is about like urging a man to lock the stable door after his horse has been stolen. Well, maybe so, but The Advertiser can not re frain from reminding them that there if greater danger from fire at this season than at any* other. The high winds which generally prevail at this season not infrequently fan an erstwhile dying ember or spark into a flame. Then too, there is more dry or combustible matter lying around at this season than any other. Leaves are frequently allowed to ac cumulate on roofs of houses and are ignited by sparks. Then there is the seemingly harm less family ash-box which is a very prolific source of fire. Ashes are tak en from the stove or fire-place in wooden or pasteboard boxes and then placed carelessly about the premises, instead of being carried out and emp tied upon the ground. Taking it all in all, this is the season of most fre quent fires. Be careful with fire about your home. It is too late after your property is in ashes.
