We were formerly taught Hint the 1aw of supply and demand regulated the prices of articles. When the supply was greater than the demand for cotton then it was low in price, but when the crop was short then we- . received more money for a short crop than for a large “ one. Wartime prices have almost defied these laws. Whenever the food adminis tration would suggest certain food substitutes because they were wholesome and reason able in price they would immedi ately jump in price. We were told to eat white beans as suhsti; tutefor meats, because beans were abundant and cheap. The con sequence was that beans jumped almost to the price of beefsteak. A little while ago Irish potatoes were a drug on tire market, as soon as they were recommended as a food substitute their price soared till they became a luxury. Now we are told that beef lias been dumped on the market to get the best possible price for ii. - , Two questions suggest thepi- selves to us. It lakes n"''wliofe * year to grow navy or white fieans, ami about three years to grow a beef. Now how conies it that these foodismbstdotes were, hidden for so Jong? How is it that as soon as they are men tioned as cheap sub-iiiute&jliat-j their price rises unreasonably? The 1 ast question answers the first. .The. federal authorities have adopted The most stringent rules to prevent unreasonable j;rolits in The necessaries of life, Vet almost every day tells the story ol some conscienceless profiteer who lias been forty : W disgorge to the. Red (Tniss some of his gains, h Imy been gains. It has..been proven by an analysis'"of-t-he/rteome tax returns that the profits last year m food and clothing'win in some cases to more riiah ;j,0- 00 per jiitnt. 'The merchant, in The County Democratic Com mittea met at Barnwell on last Thursday, the 29th of August, and tabulated the results of .The First Primary Flection, and the following Candidates \yere de dared the nominees of the Party. Probate Judge, John K. Snel. ling; Superintendent of Educa tion, Horace J*, Crouch; Trea surer, John B. Armstrong; Audi tor; K. W. Riley; Supervisor. J. S. Still: Representative in Legis lature, Jas. E. Davis: County Commissioner of the Third Dis trict,]. L. Box. The Second Primary was or dered to btfjhejd on the 10th day of September, to complete the ticket and the following candi dates will make the race: I louse of Representatives, two places to be filled, Dr. Ephraim Ellis, J. W. Folk, G. W. Hutson and Dr. A. B. Patterson. For district Commissioners, one place in each to be filled in each District: First District: Nick Hiers and J. J. Ray. - ' Second District,-C. B. Ellis, Jr., and Barnie Owens. Quite an issue arose in the Committee as to the count in the office of Supervisor. Upon the face of the returns Still appeared to. have a majority of four votes over his competitor, the encum bent, Bonoif Dyches. The discus sion at times became acrimoni ous and considerable ..bitterness of feeling wase*Jrib»led. resulting in a personal encounter between M r. Dycfces knd Mr. Jrig Hnrley, apdwhich promised at on t r time To.enq im u general row, fortun ately this was averted, ft appear ed that at some of the boxes giving Still a majority, certain votes were deposited in the wrong boxes and were taken therefrom by the Managers and placed in the right boxes and counted as was evidently inten ded by the voters. At other boxes supposedly for Dyches, the Managers however, refused to count such votes, but placed them seperately and certified them to the’Commit tee as hav- iug been voted in the wrong boxes. The argument advanced by some of the members was that either the boxes, in which the votes had been counted not withstanding thqir being im properly deposited, should be thrown out, in accordance, with the rules of the votes of the other boxes, failed to be counted by the Managers should be counted. In other words, that if Still had the beneficiary of the conduct of the Managers at the first men tioned boxes, then Dyches should have been allowed to re ceive the votes uncounted, under like circumstances, at the other lK)\es. The argument Of others was that the votes should be counted according to the returns sent up by . the Managers and that the votes uncounted by the Managers could not be consider- ^ N The Committee after consider ation, upon the motion of C. B. Dunbar, decided by Majority Y. W.C.A. WAR WORK COUNCIL. Hdqr$. " for - South.
