Hsrlmanh Warhl Via- rr i In times of peace it has been extremely difficult to prevent the creation of “corners” in the necessaries of life. War times have placed the conoum- *er absolutely at the mercy of the man higher up. The gov ernment’s remedy wa« to fix the prices beyond which various commodities should not go. Of course the coot of living was unreasonably high, b«t that wan blamed on the war. It has been nearly three months siace the armistice, but somehow "prices will not come dowa, and we are now trying to aasrram ble the eggs. In any case between the c on sumer and the man higher up it is reasonably certain that the consumer comes out the little end of the horn. Because the government has money to apend and even to waste no body feels it wrong to charge! army of soft drinks that sprang cour t s have many delays and up like mushrooms in every town and village.

So there was neither help nor sympathy frum nny soft drink i the waning strength of whiskey or beer. , The competition of big busi ness depends on a multitude of trifles. Industralism cannot af ford to lessen its "factory out put by having as employees men whose brains are dulled and whose fingers unsteady by reason of indulgence in drink.

Once let Blackville show thaf the removal would cure all of ■ . • - » these and the voters will decide unanimously for the change. Shifting the county seat means a shifting of trade in the various business centres of the county. While Barnwell would undoubtedly lose < much to Blackville by the change, yet the banks and stores in other business centres in the county will naturally fear that people having business in the court house will also do their trading there. What is also needed is a convincing argument to these business interests that the pro posed removal will increase The Red Cross Spirit Speaks, i Wherever war with it* woes' !

It has been freely admitted that in every war con tract the government has lost and the contractor gamed; Our concern with the small xonsumer who feels that. he nhould share in the general prosperity. A case in point is the disparity between the price • per pound of raw* and manufac tured cotton. With cotton at 15 cents a pound a certain mill charged the wholesaler $3.50 a dozen for a certain grade of underwear. When cotton rose to 30 cents the mill charged for the same underwear $18.00 per dozen. We are now told that nince the price of manufactur ed cotton has decreased in -priet raw cotton must fall also. When as a fact the mills re ceive four times as much per dng as the farmer does for rais- • %. ing it. We are told the govern ment fixed the price on its own contracts with the milts. It uras recently brought to the at tention of a senate committee that in spite of government price fixing certain meat pack ers- made larger profit* *last .year than ever before. Price fixing may be necessary to win the war, but the time lias come to unscramble the eggs. Some diseases' carry their own antidote. It may be that having learned the lessons decided that drinking wasn’t quite the proper thing for po lite society.- Restrictions were laid on it.in an ever increasing degre#» with-the tvsuR that found but small comfort from the grandchildren of those men who believed that the decanter and the mint bed were indis pensable to the hospitality that belonged to every well regulat ed home. . In all of the years of slavery in the South the negro and whiskey furnished only a small problem. Released from whole some restrictions the brother in black furnished the South one of the 'strongest arguments against the sale of whis key. The automobile and cheap whiskey made^ a bad combination for peaceful way farers on our country roads. From the news reports I Blackville appears to have been I eminently successful in its con vincing of Springfield that Blackville should be the county seat; it also needs to convince certain sections of Barnwell county who must travel longer distances to the county seat, if changed, that a ride to Black ville » more desirable than to Barnwell: The present court house is as rich in the fragrant sentimentt that cluster within its walls as The cross which on my arm.
