an0 ||m j| Imtered at the Pogtoffice at New. Nrry, 8. (X, as Sad class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR Friday. April 11, 1919 | President Wilson has ordered his ship returned to Brest so that he may ^ come home when he is ready to leave; France. Some stem to think that i ' it means he is coming on without ac-; complishing anything towards the! signing of the peace terms. We ar* of the opinion that it means | that the peace agreement will be signed pretty soon and certainly b?-; ! fere he leaves France this time. President Wilson is the big man at this-1 i conference and something is goincrj to be done "before he leaves. Ana. besides he is the representative of the 1 big government and the people who j will have to feed these people for the \ next year or two. And besides fur- j ! * ther he is the man of the hour who i has been called for the accomplish-! ment of the task in which he is nov; j engaged. France and Italy are un-' reasonable in their demands and ; their contentions can not prevail be-! cause they are not just or right I i i The main trouble with this saving j daylight business is that it has to j * : be saved so darned early in the morn- j i ing.?Columbia Record. * j Yes, and sometimes we have to be-: gin saving even before it is daylight j * in the morning. But the thing we; would like to know where the say-; ing comes in if you open your busi j vsoce avt. hnnr liifpr in the morning land close an hour later in the after-! noon. How can you figure any sa-'-; ing of any kind there? i i j We receive a letter from Collector; D. 0. Hey ward some days ago making j the statement that he had 10 dis-j trict deputies in the field in thi3( State to assist corporations in mak-j ing out their corporation returns. We ' have a little company and he sent, - - * * rr?v _ -ll i j us one 01 me oianKS. ine uianK so be filled out occupies six feet of floor sjace in one direction and 18 inches (n the other direction. It seemed to yV. i us when we read the letter saying that he had 10 deputies in the field that he had better send out a, thou-! sand if he expects -these big sheets; answered. The fact is we told one of his deputies that we could not find; any place on the-six feet of floor! space for our answers^, all. Or may | be we just are not sufficient of a bus- j iness man to know anything- of the! rules and regulations of business. At m any rate we have just made up our t] mind to put down our receipts on ^ one side an^ for what* the receipts a were, and on the other side what we t paid out and for what it was paid. and then pee on which side the bal-1 ? ance stood and send that in. Joo n Hunter, who is one of the deputies v says if we can do that he will mnke v out our-return in 10 minutes. WV t have thanked him and will get him t to do the job. But why should any c one send out such a blank as this ^iv:; f footer is. is a question we can not' c. ! yet answer. ;i( h A gentleman who bad been in a I small manufacturing town in which ( the mills consumed some 50 bales ofj cotton a day said there were not 151 j bales on hand, barely a* sufficient' supply to last three days. The cott ton that was being supplied on con-'v tract was of such an inferior grade that the manufacturers were refusing n to receive it. That means that the- c cotton must come and the speculators 1 Q must get it from the man who has ir and he is going to buy it just as ^ cheap as he can. Remember that 'd W' But he must have it to fill his con- e racts. Remember that also. The! ' A ..irmer who is holding his cotton is " j p against the most powerful organ- ^ I :nation that he ever faced. It would a | :x well to remember that also. Sir d I ; eady.

OTTOX ACREAGE REDUCTION CAUSES RISE IX PRICE I Columbia, April 8.?That the coton acreage reduction movement has muTi o hior fartnr in the recent ad vvii u -? ance ffi cotton is conceded, even bv tew York newspapers, says a statement issued today by the central ommittee of the South Carolina Cot-; on Association. That the price of j otton is going to soar sky high when I he crop is planted and it is seen hat there has really been a big reuction in the acreage, is the opinion ntertained by the committee. "The report by the South Carolina issociation to the effecUthat the cur- j ailment of acreage would be over 30 ; >er cent was issued last Thursday! fter the close of the market for that j ay," says the committee's statement i :cnPfi tnririv "Thp \"pw York Times ! > its Saturday morning's review of 'riday's market said: "Xews developments were general.* good and favorable to hi-J her j I rices.

In his letter Mr. ^ Manning says: "I spent quite some time in N'enr York and northen points for the pur- { pose of making a personal study of the coton situation at first hand. Theinformation arathhered at these points was a revelation to me. The situation is just this: EJurope needs food: Europe needs clothes. She can postpone buying clothes, but she can not postpone buying food. Europe lacks money and credit with which to buy. Speculators will, of course, buy cot ton as cheaply as possible. The big A syndicates will have an open field. If 1 the South plants full cotton acreage* she will reap a whirlwind. It means S and 10 cents and possibly even lower prices. Tt certainly means far worse prices and conditions than prevailed in the South just after the commencement cf the world war ii 1914."
