Damaging Fatso Kinnora Unfortunately false rumors, detri mental to the weavers of shoes, have appeared in tho newspapers, and we fool it our duty to state the facts as they are. The Question of Profits Shoo manufacturers have been aeked by tho Government to limit the class of materials and amount of la bor expended in tho making of shoes lu order that shoes of good value and assuring a fair profit to maker and retailer may continue to bo sold. Of necessity, however, this will elimi nate, after present stocks uro sohl, all shoes of the very highest grades, which necessarily must retail at prices higher than will be charged for shoes restricted in style, but which will not be on sale until some timo in thc future. Classification and Values Footwear purchased by us from now on, but which will not bo on sale until late winter or spring, will bo classed A, H and C, according to its type and quality, to be retailed from $3 to $12. These shoes will not be of aa good values as shoes now sell ing at these prices, owing to the groatly increased cost of manufac turing, but they will be the host val u?.-; obtainable at these prices.

The following item, taken from tiie Now Orleans Picayune of November 15th, will be of Interest to many in the upper section of South Carolina, where "Liout." Laite played an im portant role as lecturer and general entertainer during several months of active war work. Ho claimed to bo ii wounded British soldier in this country to recueprato from wounds received in activo service with the British forces. Wo puoto the article in full: "Alter enjoying the hospitality of prominent citizens of New Orleans and other large comunitios. and mar rying one of the popular actresses of the Loew Circuit. Harry Whitfield Laite will leave for New York Friday in the custody of Special Agent Whea ton C. Stillson, of the Department ol' Justice, to be turned over to the British military authorities for trial by court-martial on the charge of de sertion from tho Canadian army. "Since his sensational marriage to Miss Isabel Violet Lilly, on October 81, and his subsequent arrest through tho local British consulate, the young soldier has been kept in solitary con finement in the parish prison. It is alleged that he has made a full con fession to Special Agent Stillson, ad mitting his desertion from tho Six tieth Battalion, Sixth Middlesex Reg iment of the Canadian army. "Laite said ho waB born In Trinity. Now Foundland. 2 2 years ago, and that his father and mother lived at 30 Hancock street, Everett, Mass. Ac cording to Department of Justice offi cials he said he enlisted from Canada in Juno, 1915, and after having serv ed as private in the Middlesex, Regi ment, deserted at Hramshett, long land, In February ol' the following year. After working his way to Lon don and Liverpool he stowed on board the merchant ship Quenimore and landed in Baltimoro, where he managed to evade the vigilance of immigration authorities. He said ho then obtained the uniform of a Cana dian lieutenant and enlisted his ser vices in the cause of the Fourth Lib erty loan and solicited funds during the Ked Cross drives. Hts credentials, he said, wore givon through the olllce of the British-Canadiancu remitting commission. "Garbed in tho uniform of a* lieu tenant, ho was received by prominent citizens of Denver. Indianapolis and Chicago, and arrived in New Orleans in the early part of September. Ho said he had borrowed in the neigh borhood of $1.00 0. and while he spent, his money freely, he said his stay in New Orleans has cost him lit tle or nothing. He met Miss Lilly in one of the leading hotels, and that night they were marled in Gretna In the presence of Lleuts. Briggs and Taylor, of the Medical Corns of the United States Navy. "Lalto said he had deserted the British army on account of the poor treatment, received in a hospital, ac cording to Special Agent Stillson." "Lieut." Laite became quite promi nent in various activities connected with Liberty Loans and other war work .and in tho Hold of Red Cross ac tivities in this section. At the time he was in such demand in this terri tory he was making Anderson his headquarters. The Courier never had any faith in or respect for the man after he failed to keep an en gagement to speak In Walhalla, for we were Informed, though not offi cially or In such manner as to be able lo make public any statement with reference to our information, that tho man was so miserably drunk at the time he was to hove left Anderson to come to Walhalla that ho could not make the trip, lt was our private opinion, freely oxpresed among Inti mates here In Walhalla, that "Lieut." Laite was a fake of some kind, or that there was something crooked Ilbout him. Wo lind, however, taken no further notice of him until tho Now Orleans publication recalled him most, unpleasantly to our mind. GENERAL ELECTION RESULTS.

On account of the omi of hostili ties- which no doubt moans the end of the war-publie safety no longer requires certain regulations which were put into force more than a year ago. William Hanks, the explosives Inspector for South Carolina, has re ceived instructions from the Depart ment of tho Interior, Bureau of Mines, to the effect that nil regula tions relating to fireworks aro re voked, und that no further licensing of llroworks will be required. Also, the recent regulations relating to platinum, irrldium and palladium havo been revoked and no license of theso commodities will be required. The most far-reaching rule, how over, is with regard to ingredients which entor into the making ol* ox plosives. The ruling declares that no further llcnnso of such Ingredients will bo required. Theso rulings in no way affect the licensing of the main explosives and tho government oversight of maga zines. Until further notice, all per sons who have In their possession blasting powder, dynamite and deton ating caps will bo required to have license ns usual, and all persons In tending to purchase must have li censes. The Clerk of Court of each county in the Stato ls ti licensing agent, and In somo counties there aro other agents, so that there will bo no hard ship on farmers who wish to secure dynamite for agricultural purposes. There aro a number of dealors In South Carolina who have been Inter ested in thc fireworks regulations, and they will doubtless be glad to know that all restrictions on pur chases and sales have been removed.
