Of the entire army of 2.O79.SS0 men taken over, the statistics show. 46 1-2 per cent were carried in American ships. 4S 1-2 in British and the balance in French and Italian vessels. Of the total strenpth of the naval escort puardinp all these convoys, the United States furnished S2 3-t per eent. Great Britain 14 1-S per eent and France 3 1-S jhm- cent.

DECEMBER 13. 1918. Hut if you would do good in this world, keep In mind the fact that you've got to light for it. Those who tire of progressing forward should always remember that the only other way is backward. Ihspatc hes of Tuesday reported a rumor that the kaiser has been utl? mpting to eominit suicide; but the rumor has not been confirmed. Successful sheep and cattle raising ' alls for less drudgery perhaps, than successful cotton farming; but it calls for n higher order id'intelligence and it promises greater profit. While it is a fact that every man is the architect of his own fortune, it must be remembered that the nature of the fortune he will build will depend very largely upon the Judgment he uses in the selection of building materials. The work of tick eradication has I completed throughout South Carolina and the quarantine has be. n removed from the entire state. The agricultural department claims that there are no cattle ticks in South Carolina now. Soldiers and workmen invaded the home of an object lon'uble cabinet member in Munich a few nights ago and at 1 tl ' 1UUZZIC UI ll-HPIUH-, ? ?v., him to write out and sign a resignation. Hut of cours" the thing did not stauil. ami almost any kind of people ought to have known better. While Ann riean cotton manufacturers hud no trouble in convincing the war industries hoard that the price of their product should lie lixed on a bash of 36 cents cotton; because there would he no profit for the producer at a less liguro. it is worthy of note that very few bales have been sold on the market at 36 cents. Director lieueral of the I tail roads McAdoo says that rather than decide now whether the government shouhl go into ownership of the railroad 01 turn them back to the stockholders, it would be better to determine on a liveyear experiment of government ownership. At the end of five years he thlnkf the country should he ready to pass intelligently upon the public ownership question. The adoption of this suggestion would at least take the railroad ownership question out of the next oa mpaign. Whether the idea is popular or not, it is certainly right that our state officers should have better salaries than they are receiving and also then should he better pay for county officers. As we see it. it Is remarkable that we can get the quality we arc getting to administer the various public offices on any such salaries. Of course we know that they are not working for the salaries alone. If they were they would not he lit for their places at any price. 11 tut nevertheless, it is not at all creditable to the people of either the state or county to ask for the services of such men on salaries that do not af ford at Ie:tst independent livings. A Havarinn mob seized a Municli newspaper Inst Friday night and brought the newspaper out next day wi'h an explanation of its action to the effect that "the newspaper has been lying ami deceiving the people for tlftyone months." To fV sure the newspaper had been doing just exactly what the mob said it had been doing. There is tu thing remarkable about that: but still there i:. some little ground to wonder whether if the mob should undertake to use the newspaper to promulgate its own propaganda, would it lie and deceive with any less conscience than its former owners have l?een doing. There is apparent conflict in the statements of British and American officials as to how much the British | navy and merchant marine and how | much the American navy and meri chant marine did in the matter of transporting the American army to France. The British seem to claim credit for well-nigh all of it. and the Americans claim credit for well-nigh half of it. Although Britishers are not inclined to brag about the feats of common soldiers or individual officers; when they get to talking about tireat Britain as a whole they are unable to appreciate that anybody else is to be considered at all. Hut America in view of what she has done, and what she knows she can do. has no occasion to feel Jealous. That story that James D. (Irist gives us from an old campaigner about the soldierly qualities of Oen. Pershing is quite interesting, and from what we happen to know about the old soldier front whom the information comes, we believe it, is true- That Pershing can both talk and write, we have not the slightest doubt; but we don't imagine that he does any more of either than he is obliged to do. We are inclined to think that most of his more extended public utterances are more br less elaborated by newspaper men. without improving tnem a great aeui. npwe\er. Rut there is ono speech by Gon. Pershing which we would say is pure and unadulterated, and that is the speech which he made at the grave of the great French patriot and soldier who contributed so much to the original establishment of American liberty. There were only five words of it and the whole world remembers what they were: "Well. Lafayette, we are here." The idea of the Pursley family in making a picnic on the occasion of the celebration of the 100th birthday of their fine old aunt, Miss Susan Pursley, Ik a most capital one. People who know Miss Pursley would be glad to honor themselves In the celebration of any of her birthdays; but the opportunity to participate in the celebration of the 10'tth birthday of anybody carries an appeal that extends far beyond the limited circle of the friends and acquaintances of any one. As we see It the picnic idea was about the best possible solution of the problem presented in this case- That there will be a tremendous crowd present we do not I doubt, and that there wil* be plenty of I refreshments for everybody goes with out saying. And the balance 01 me programme is equally fitting. It goes without saying that the addresses to be expected from the speakers who have been selected will be worth the while of a trip of many mules and fully worthy of the remarkable occasion. In his annual report to congress, Secretary McAdoo tells how the treasury department had, up to October 30. retired J244.000.000 of Liberty bonds at an average of 06 1-4 cents. These were bonds that were offered on the market at less than par. mainly by people who had purchased out of patriotism: but who either were not able to hold or who were unable to appreciate the value of the securities they had acquired. Of course also, the lower price was in part the work of market manipulators, who have been busy breaking down the bonds to the lowest possible prices in order to get the greater profits. In those purchases th" government had made profits to the amount of J9.U00.0Uo. and at the same time has held the bond market up to a higher level than would have otherwise been maintained. That this policy inaugurated by Mr. McAdoo. within the authority granted by congress. will be continued, we have no doubt, and we hope local holders of bonds will rightfully read the meaning of it all. Kvcry bond purchased by the government means just that much in restoring the market to par. More than that it means that the bonds will sooner go to a premium, a thing that is sure to happen in the near future, very soon after the flotation of th? next and probably the last Liberty loan issue in the spring. There are no doubt am6ngst local purchasers of bonds some who think they have to sell; but if they are wise they will not do anything of the kind for some time to come. Col. Bryan in Columbia.?"It would lie :i mockery to dethrone the kaisei and introduce Prussianism into the 1'nited States in the form of universal military training." said William Jennings ltryan. former secretary of state , in an address in Columbia last Monday night at the initial session of the South Carolina Automobile nssocin1 lion, which is holding a two days'con vention in the* hall of the house ol representatives. Col. ltryan advocnted govornmenl ownership of trunk line railroads government ownership and control oi , telegraph and long distance telephone lines, federal ownership and control as far as possible of the merchant ma1 rine, government ownership of cable . lines and operation of them by thif , government and the governments ol the lands to which they run. the carl> demobilization of the army and the . employment of soldiers on public works until they can be absorbedMntc the industries of the country, fenhral ' and state appropriations for national i system of public highways and an early reproduction of governmental expenses to a pence basis, thus lifting ' the burden from those least able tc bear it. These were some of the tiling's stressed by Col Bryan in outlining the readjustment from war tc peace times, which he called hif , "fourteen problems." Col. Bryan did not include nation wide prohibition and woman suffrage 1 because he considered their settle' incut as definitely in sight. During the course of his speech Col Bryan said that President Wilson had tin- greatest problem confronting him that any human being in the history of the world ever bad to cope with, . Me -cti<| that If the president considered it his duty to attend the peace conference and sit at the table in the .. it <.r thoso nrnhlems It was bis duty to go to Franco. Government Estimate of Cotton t Crop.?With an estimate of 11.700,000 hales oat h of 500 pounds gross weight as this year's cotton crop, the depart in nt of agriculture's final figures today arc 118.000 hales less than forecast front the condition of the crop Scpte!||ber 25. This, year's crop, however, is forger than any since 1913. The acreage this year was large, hut in August the crop suffered more than any month in the history of American cotton growing. The production forecast for September showed a falling off of 2,4 S2.000 bales as a result of deterioration during August, The first production forecast of the crop this season, based on June 25 conditions, was 15,325,000 bales. Total production last year was 11302,375 bales. Production of sen island cotton is estimated at 18,000 bales, compared with 92.619 bales last year; and ol American Egyptian cotton, produced in Arizona find California. 38.000 running bales. The average weight i>er running hale is estimated at 505.S pounds gross compared with 502.4 i>ounds last year, The price per pound of lint cotton 1 to producers December 1 was 27.0 cents compared with 27.7 cents a yeaf ago. The estimated production by states in hales of 500 pounds gross weight 1 follows: Virginia. 26.000: North Carolina S70.U00; South Carolina. 1,500.000: (icorgiiu, 2,100,000; Florida, 25.000: Alabama, 820.000: Mississippi 1.210.000; Ixjuisiana, 525,000: Texas. 2,580, 000: Arkansas. 935.000, Tennessee, 330.000; Missouri. 70.000: ' Oklahoma, 550.000: California, 100,000: Arizona, 51,000: all other states, 81,000. Value of 1918 Crop.?With a total value of 812.272,412,000, the nation's principal farm crops this year were worth more, based on prices paid to farmers December 1. than In any year in the history of American agriculture. December crop estimates last Wednesday of the department of agriculture showed that this year's total exceeds that of the former record year 1917 by $614.SSO,000. There also was a marked increase in acreage, the 35.".S95.722 total exceeding that of last year by 10.700.000 acres. These crop figures were looked upon with satisfaction by officials as showing that the nation will be in even a better position to fulfill its pledge of 20.000,000 tons of foodstuffs to Europe next yen* than had been expected. Most of the crops are larger than the five-year average and some of them establish records, particularly spring wheat, barley, rye and tobacco. Corn, however, fell below the fiveyear average at 166.884.000 bushels less than forecast in November, with a total of 2.582.814.000 bushels. That is almost half a billion bushels less than last year's record crop. The wheat crop is larger than the five-year average, and almost 300.000.000 bushels larger than last year's crop, but it is more than 100.000.000 bushels smaller than the record crop of 1915. Almost all of the crops wore worth more this year than In any previous year because of the high prices paid to producers. Corn's value was more than three and one-half billion dollars wheat almost two billion, hay and cotton more than a billion and one-half, oats more than a billion. LOCAL. AFFAIRS.

The drainage project calls for thi , removal of 861,860 yards of materia . from the bottom of the creek alon( i that portion to be drained, and the con' tract for the work obviously involve! pretty big business. Six prospective contractors filed seal' i ed proposals with Mr. Claud M.

"Of course we are going on with thi work," said Chairmun Inman of thi ' drainage commission, when askec about the matter yesterday. "We havi had lots of confidence in the enterprisi from the beginning, and after all w< 1 have been tnrougn, we nave more con I tldence in it now than ever.

Here is a somewhat tragic sto ry that v. as told in the presence c Here and There by a soldier return ing from Camp Jackson. The soldi* was a non-coin clerk in headquarter and saw many things of various kind: . This story is about a >oung privat from Ohio. He was a modest, well behaved young fellow, and althoug f college bred he did not appear to hav r any military ambition. He had soni associates: but not many and nobod 1 seemed to know a great deal aboi 1 aim. One day he applied to the lieu tenant in command for a furlough t go home. In reply* to questions fc the reason he said that he had a valu . able invention well under way. and h wanted to turn the business conduc of it over to his father, along wit ' other business matters. The lieuter ? ant was accustomed to all kinds t . fraudulent requests for furloughi sometimes based on the death of a aunt who had not existed, or othc i trumped-up stories. He turped th application down. Two weeks aftc ' that the young soldier was dead. ' sergeant went home with the body t Ohio. He found the home of th . young man to be a magnificent man ' sion. His father was a very rich tnai ' engaged in artistic and literary pui > suits, and two beautiful and refine I sisters were artists of much local rei j utation. The sergeant was Invited t remain over, and having three daysf ' his disposal he spent thein at tli home. The people treated him like prince. There was nothing that wa too good for him. When he left the ? loaded him with beautiful painting > with bric-a-brac, with costly confec . tionery and with other things that li could not find a decent way to refuse ; On his return to Camp Jackson tli I lieutenant asked him for a report an , he told him all about it. Then cam packages from the Ohio home for tfi sergeant and tor me ueuieiumi?<-? dy, paintings and other works of ar r produced by loving hands and sent I j people because they were supposed t have been friends of the dead son an brother. But the lieutennnt woul , have none of it. "I shall never forgh myself for not having investigated tt ' case of that young man," he said. " i I had given him his furlough as i should have done, he would at lew have been able to see his people b< ' fore he died. A" it is, I do not fd ; like accepting for myself any of the l tributes of love and affection, becaus I do not deserve them." | RED CROSS ROLL CALL. Thrf annual roll call of the Rc Cros# ls*o be made *during the-wac . beginning Monday, December 16, an i ending Monday December 23. f ] The roll call means the re-enlistin of the membership all over the cour s try. There are several thousand metnbei in York county at the present tlrr and energetic effort will be made ( re-enlist as many as possible of thei l in the continuance of the splendi i work they have been doing. The only condition of elligibility t membership in the Red Cross is tt s contribution of annual dues to tt J amount of one dollar. r Of this membership money 75 p< * cent is sent to the treasurer of the n; ' tional organization to be used for It purpose of keeping the same in goir ; order, nnd all surplus above runnin 1 expenses are available for the varloi f works of mercy and charity that ni " continually being prosecuted by tt 5 Red Cross throughout America an throughout the world. The 25 per cent retained at home used, first, to pay such current ej ' prases as of necessity have to be pr< " vlded for, and second, in the purcha; j of cotton, wool and other materia J necessary to give employment I 1 working members In the prodution < hospital supplies, clothing, etc., tht are contributed to the comfort ar well being of the suffering humanil J in behalf of which the Red Cross d< J votes its activities, t While the great pressing appe: r that has been presented by the neec " of American soldiers during the pai ?V,? Vmj o hoon In ft laft eigmeVII lliuilllla - r " measure modified, still that appej has by no means passed away. The: | are yet 2,000.000 Americans abroa j and thousands and thousands of thei 1 are In need of assistance the like * * which only the Red Cross can giv \ and the Red Cross cannot give th f assistance without help from hac J home. 1 But outside of Its military activ ' ties, or rather its activities in cor [ nection with military operations, eve t If there was no call for it there, tt 1 Red Cross still has plenty to do. Tt world is full of suffering, misery an want, and wherever there is sufferin misery and want, there is work f( the Red Cross. c The Red Cross can do very litt . without money, and the people wt ' contribute the money are the peop f to whom belongs the credit for tt greater part of the work of the Re ) Cross.

When people have a they want, it is Just as well to leav ' them alone. There is room, howevei for very considerable commercial an industrial progress in this communi ty.

But if the town 1 to make any real progress commer cially or industrially, beyond what i has made, people who have ambitloi to Improve tl\pir own condition an< the condition of those around them must assert themselves. For on thing, this town needs better mar keting conditions. There is nothing i, the matter with the mercantile eled ment. Its standard Is as high as is l to be found anywhere and higher - than is to be found In most places, e The town has reliable merchants who - keep good stocks at honest prices, and e to them belongs the credit for about all is the town now is as a commercial and ?l business centre. There can be no 1. just complaint as to the manner in .. which the merchants as a whole dlscharge their first and most important n function, the buying and selling of I. imported merchandise: but in another f. important i>articular. condor compels >f the admission that not only the merchants. but business people generally. >f have been sadly remiss. This particular to which reference is made it has to do with the Intelligent development of the most attractive marketing - facilities for the produce of the surII rounding country, including everyit thing the farmers have to sell, and >' more especially cotton. The un'I questionable tendency of municipal i- legislation, if not of local sentiment, d Koftn to kf.(iD countrv produce " away ami force it to other markets. B With this produce, which has to seek V a market elsewhere goes a large vol'/ umo of trade which, if kept here where it rightfully belongs would make much for the the upbuilding of ' s this community. Practically every n surrounding town that has outstripped this town in material prosperity hits accomplished the trick in a perfectly r* legitimate way through realization of not only the fact that the farmer is the greatest original producer of wealth there is in this country; but ,1 that he has a much higher order of ,1 intelligence than some people are willing to give him credit for. and that the (f sure way of getting his co-operation is by friendly fair treatment. There * are merchants here who have been and .j, who are successful along this line and s who have profited thereby; but the J fact remains that such has not been the. |K>licy of the community as n I, whole. For one thing this is evidenced t, by laws that seek to make a monopoly lt, of the cotton market and for another .. thing by the spirit and influences ,"t which have prevented and which con. tinue to prevent the establshmcnt of 0 a municipal system under which the ,r farmer's cotton shall be weighed and _ graded by disinterested expert offlie clal publicly employed for the pur.( pose. h i- ABOUT PEOPLE )f Private Prank Pursley of Ctunp Jtiekson spent the week-end with his " |wirents.
