A Snored Duty, Declares Director \V. < Wi Long. W. W. Long lias sent an appeal to the farmers of South Carolina through tiie demonstration agents to sow more wheat this year than ever before. Ile urges that not less than ?I 50,000 acres should be sown as compared with 225,000 aeres last your. Mr, Long's letter to all agents follows: To All Anent* Dear Sirs: I have beet) scanning your Held reports for tho last two weeks with a great deal of Interest., especially for tho pur peso of getting such information from thom as you have given con cerning thc seeding of grains, espe cially wheat, in your respective conn T ie?. I 'rave hoon greatly disappointed Sn tile Information that I have ob tained. Up to this time, little grain, and especially wheal, has been seed ed. There is littlo time left if we ex pect to obtain a profitable crop at next harvest time. Surely our peo ple have not forgotten tho call hy our government for tho seeding of in increased acreage In wheal lo the -amount of ."?7 per cont over last year. Last year's acreage in the State was 225,000 acres. In order to meet the demands' ol the government wei should seed 350,000 acres. This is' absolutely. necessary if we are to do our part in furnishing tho bread sup ply for our armies and the armies of our allies. Wo are asking the young men to defend our honor and our liberty, if need be, by giving up their lives. If they are willing lo die for us, surely our people should be willing to live for them. Pienso have this letter published in all of your county papers and tiring every Influence to hear, that we may meet the sacred demands of our! i-'overnment. Yours very truly, W. W. Long. Director. Now ls tho Time to Save. (Progressive Partner.) Wise ls the man who saves in pros perity against tho day of adversity. No man can say how soon a period of disaster may follow this period of Hush times, just as no one could have predicted in 19 Ll when war brought 7-eent cotton that it would soon bring 28-ccnl cotton. It's a Unie of ups and downs- high ups and low downs. Just after the Civil War came a period of high prices and .then tho disastrous panic year of 1873. carrying bankruptcy to untold thousands of ?.inprudent men who had saved up nothing against the ?vii day. lt's a pity that more news pa j) ors ar< not now emphasizing til ese Facts. All over the South the press should be echoing tbis warning from the Lnurinburg lOxchange: .'\'o man knows what another year .may bring forth. We are living in a period of awful uncertainly. This is no time to spoild money foolishly or unwisely. The dollars that come so easily this fall may he needed next .io buy even the necessaries of life, lt is a good plan always to put some thing in store for a rainy day, and Hint rainy day may be nearer now than we think." ... . Sallie Bryson Takes All Blaine. Raleigh, X.

Presen! abnormal conditions in tim agricultural and financial situation of our state require .serious thought by ill oi' our people, but especially by our farmers. The following are some of ibo moro prominent features re t|Ulriug consideration : 1, Tho abnormal farm profits ranging U estimator at from lour io ten limes the average in different parts of the State. 2. The groat scarcity and high prices ol' fertilizers, present prices being about ?JO por cent higher than last year. :;. The scarcity and high price of food products. (This condition will certainly last as long as tho war.) 4. Tho presence In our State of tho boll weevil, which may be expect ed to' eovor thc entire State within two years and seriously affect cotton production in 1 !) 10 or 1920. Tbe Inadequate and congested transportation facilities by both land and water. (J. The obligation which restB Upon every citizen to loyally respond to thc needs ol' our government at . war. There is abundant evidence that many of our people are engaged in a porfect orgy of money spending. I was told to-day of a large plantation upon which the tenants had each ? made a net profit of from $0(10 to $1,500, and that all of those tenants together could probably not raise I $?100 In cash to-day. s Thousands of mules are being i shipped Into the State, and many are ' being sold to farmers who could get ! along without them. All will have I lo bo fed for four months or more on \ high-priced corn and forage before . j they will be of much use. J Premiums over tlie cash price a're being paid for automobiles. I know of $'?00 .having been offered for a Kord car that had been in service several mouths. .Many are buying automobiles who will very shortly have no money to pay for gasoline ' and repairs. Tho intelligent citizens of tho jj state can do no moro patriotic ser I vice at the prosent juncture than to vigorously preach against the ex travagance which many of our peo ple are Indulging in. They need to be told that this is a time which re it aires the exercise of sound business judgment as well as of united patri otic co-operation with the govern ment. Tiley need to be told that the man who now has in hand enough money to run lils next year's crop, and spends lt unwisely before next spring, will show such poor business ! judgment that he will he. and should be, regarded as a very dangerous credit risk by the banker and mer chant. They should be told that il is wise to buy fertilizers right away and have them shipped out, as there ls great danger that the late buyer and the credit buyers will not be able to got any fertilizers or will not recleve them on time. They need to have* their attention directed to tho fact that In ?very Stnte which the boll weevil has in vaded, cotton production has prompt ly decreased, land values have fallen and great distress and, disorganiza tion have followed. They need to be told that the suc cess of our agriculture, as well as the success, ol' our nation* in this great war for human liberty, will be jeop ardized if the farmer does not pro duce an ample supply tff food. The production of live stock-especially hogs- should be emphasized, and it should be explained that mont pro ducts and fats will remain high and profitable long after the end of the war. And last, but not least, they should be urged lo respond loyally to the calls of the government for the pur chase of Liberty Bonds and for the liberal support of tho lied Cross and Y. M. C. A., the sole purpose of which organisations is to minister to the safely and to the physical and moral welfare of our boys at the front. The unusual prosperity Of our State leaves us no excuse to do less than our part when each call for patriotic service and sacrifice comes. May not tho Council of Defense and the Food Administration depend upon every member of our own or ganisations, and upon all other thoughtful citizens, to weigh care fully tho present abnormal situation, with its splendid opportunities and ifs great dangers, and to use all of their influenco to the end that the opportunities may be wisely utilized land the dangers averted?

SAXON SIX A BIG TOURING CAR FOR frlVE PEOPLE Fourteen $3000 Cars Endorse Saxon "Six" Think what that means to you -or to any man who buys a Saxon "Six." Fourteen of the finest cars made in America confirm your judg ment. Think what it proves as to Sax ton u Six " value and quality as compared to any other car in the $800 to $1150 class. We say fourteen $3000 cars. That is not the whole truih. As a matter of fact, all 14 of these cars sell for more than $3000-ranging in price from $3050 for the lowest priced to $10,000 for thc costliest car in the group. Each one of the 8 important Saxon "Six" features is also used by ^rom 2 to 9 of these 14 great cars. 2 of them use Tim ken a?lpsV So does Saxon "Six" at $935 f. o. b. Detroit. 4 use Timken bearings. So does Saxon "Six." 3 use the Stromberg carburetor. So does Saxon "Six," 2 usc the Remy ignition. So does Saxon "Six'." 8 use the Fedders radiator. So does Saxon "Six." 9 use the Spiral bevel gear, So does Saxon "Six." 5 usc the semi-floating axle, So docs Saxon "Six." 3 use the Exide storage battery. So does Saxon "Six." Just stop for a moment and figure out the tremendous dif ference in price between these cars at $3050 to $10,000 and Saxon "Six" at $935. Then the full significance of the FOR SALE BY real car-value of Saxon "Six" strikes home to you. Now take the Saxon "Six" motor-built by Continental. 12 other cars ranging in price from $1175 to $2200 also use the Continental-built motor. There is not a single feature of Saxon "?ix" whose worth is open to question. It is simply a, wonderful car and a wonderful value. And $200 or $300 more than the Saxon "Six" price cannot get a better car. So buy Saxon "Six" and save $200 or '$300. But by all means do it now. For no one can tell how soon it will be be fore all motor, car prices go up. AUTO REPAIR COMPANY, LIBERTY, S. C. MINIONS VOTE AGAINST STKlKC. [toll Call Showed 188 Against and IO? for st ri ko Cull.
