IP? Hen? ana j|?.1 Entered at the Postoffice at New. fcerry, S. C? as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOK. Tuesday November, 27, 1917 It does not seem to us that it akeuld require any campaign <5r any /argument or any urging to get the farmers to see the importance of raising enough bread and meat at least to feed the people in this State ? that instead of shipping flour and ?#rn and meat here it could go tc toed our troops in the camps at home and abroad and to feed our allies. It is good business sense at anj time for the farmer of this sectioi to grow on the farm i;hat he needi l?r the farm and at this time it ii supremely important for his weal ai well as for the good of the country "Phe man who grows all cotton evei at the present prices and has to bu^ kis supplies will not make any money It has been proven time without enc when cotton was high and when cot 'ten was low. Plant wheat and oat.4 all the other food crops pou can raise hogs and cattle and you wil be 'doing a service to yourself as wel *'r T * H '' * as .your country. If you do not dc it t)ie time may come soon when then wlil be hungry people in this coun ?* 'r y try and with all the cotton and monej you may have be unable to satisfy that hunger. That sounds funny now m/* fA anms with thft abundance Hiat they may have, but If we do noi fifrow food stuffs it will be a reality There is great waste now in all de partments among private individuals and In the government managemenl as any one may see who will jus1 N Move abou<t a little and open his eyes and look, but that seems unavoidable and will take some time to regulate Thi government works has demoraliz. $ jail laboi- In this, section of the ?oegitry so that it is difficult to get ?uu?hing done. t ' * * o ' t~ -rr..* v inert: la BUII\;KY VU IUOI tuiu p&iky of wood hereabout but it is to get it chopped: ' ' "With half million and soon a million' and maybe even more taken out of the industrial works and from the fields it is faatural that there should fee demoralization and It means that there must be cooperation and mutual ^*tng and taking until we can get adjusted to the new order. You can bo longer do things in the usual and beaten paths of the days just gone. There is a new order and adjustments are necessary and the changes have so sudden and so rapid that we are. shaken out of position as it were. ' * ^ 11 That was an awful tragedy in *> Creenville this week and it is well that the solicitor of that circuit is going to .bring the parties to trial on the charge of murder. It is just as enator Bonham says, the running of an automobile at a reckless rate of epeed on a public troughfare is the \ same in principle or wose than Airing a gun through a crowd. And if any person should be killed the law will presume malice. There is a law now against any one ? ???- V11 _ I. driving a car wmie luiuer mo uiflaence of whiskey, and it Is said tfcese negroes who r$? over the man in Greenville were Sfcnk. The legislature aMdd pass a law Xoeoslng all drivers of cars and the penalty should he a revocation of the ttoensa if. guilty of violating the stat-, ute. A fin? does not have a deterrent effect but if a driver felt that he would not be allowel to drive a car again If guilty of violating the law and the rules of the road maybe that would have a wholesome effect Certainly human life is in jeopady al - the time if you travel the roads at all. We were a day late last time with some of our mail and we go to press a day earlier this time. It is difficult! it seems for us to get adjusted but we j tiope some time in the not distant fu- j ture to rave matters "better organize^, and running smoothly. True the pa-I i 2>ers will not get on the rural outes &ny sooner but the boys want off for thanksgiving and have worked I some ovetime ia orde/ to get it and j I we are glad Tor them to hare it. We: 1 suppose seme ot them will take in: the foot ball at Clinton. That does, not interest us in the least. Some of the boys we saw at Camp Se\ier the other day were getting mighty good exercise digging trenches aind digging up trees by the roots and chopping wood and that latter would be .? srood exercise for anm#> of th<* J boys, and to ,throw an axe to the mark >! would be just as good training of the ' i eye and the muscle as Bunchino- one ,! another in a foot ball game, but no doubt they think differently, and if so it all suits us very well and we hare no complaint against their judgment. 1 3 sl To Arrive \ FIFTH CA j Good f 1 ' I We are sellmj ; er than they < r elsewhere. f i THERE MUST | Our mules are no tj have been the > We Are Still Tradin C.
