Our little ones do - pot come with emaciated hands stretched1 out in vain appeal for food to nourish them which we are not 6$*# V ahle to give; ours is not the unspeak Me agony to be forced by necessity to ltefoso the mute appeal of widows and orphans?homeless, f dejected, starving, naked. By contrast look on our own well fed and clothed women and children, and then?if we can? refuse to hear the deep cry of distress l/A'Y- which comes to us from across the Ki.?' ?* - if : ~ water. Hiss May B. Meetze, a Lexington girl now state executive secretary of ^ the Near East Belief, sends us the ?* ' " following appeal, which she urges we give as much prominence as possible, rf f. To this request we gladly acceed. Miss Meetze is proud of the showing ' which her home county has made in ^ ; this Christian work and she is more 1 va; than anxious that the good work be " kept up. This is what she has to ?ay: V - v y v "There are today between one and a half million Armenians, homeless, half-naked and starving, scattered throughout the Near East, the remnants of the oldest Christian nation in the world whom war has utterly impoverished and driven to despair. They appeal to us to r , ' gave them. We Lave food. We have money. We can. do the job. It . is our clear duty to save these, lest they perish. * 'We have felt little of the war. si*-: ",.. --y But with these people loyalty to f;V."i the ideal they fought for in com i- N rson with us has meant the anni. \ hilation of a million men, women ^ and children. We have found peace. But with them, th$ war ha? never AAO on/1 dni) f 44 i a a . VWM7V\( ?iI4VI VVUUJ *V AO AUVA O WA4IVA and more ruthless than it has ever v been. If we fought for the security of the world, we have not won until security has been assured \ these faithful people who were our allies in the struggle, and who have ; ? found destitution at-d hunger and death where we have 'ouud tran - quillity and plenty an.i contentment. 'There is no need in the world anywhere like this need of the Armenians. It is absolute, abject misery from which there is no escape save through our help. There are 25b,000 little children in that war-devastated land who have been the wards of the American people, through, the Near East Relief, for the past three years. If our aid is v withdrawn, these children starve. We have begun the work of saving them. We must carry it through. ) "The/appeal of the Near East Relief at this lenten season is for a \ sacrifice to save these little chil : < / dren, to save this martyred Christian people. That each man, woman and child in the United States give of his plenty that these needy ones may live. What we waste would do it. But if in the spirit of Easter, we sacrifice something for the sake of tho^e who have suffered so much, a whole nation will be reborn through ua." GAMBLING IN COTTON. The planting of anything li^e a full crop of cotton in the South Will spell hard times this fall. With the enormous carry over from the past season almost any kind, of a crop will be more or less of a gamble. It would be better perhaps if not a single stalk were planted this year in order that the world might catch up with the mimlllR hilt in anv oiKint / V ? ViA W, WA4C AllCblA who in this year 1921 depends on raising: cotton and buying his food will likely find himself at the end of the year hopelessly involved. As the warm days cOme the temptation will doubtless be strong to go about the business of farming as usual, and doubtless many will yield to it, but in doing so they are destroying their own chance of success and endangering the prosperity of everyone around them. And while we are about urging far mere to grow food crops, it is'well to impress upon folks in eur towns and cities the duty which they owe to the South to see to it that efforts are made to provide markets f?r the surplus food which is grown. Millions /'/.Itftxo nrora oonf nilt nf the State Vl uviiai o n w v uw?v last year by South Carolinians for food that could as well have lemained at home. Every merchant and every dweller in every hamlet, town and city in the state should make it his business to buy nothing from abroad that can be had of our own farmers. Here is a work cut out for every chamber of commerce in South Caro una. Farmers will with more readiness cut down on cotton if they know there will be ready markets for food crops. The time to get busy on such a program is now. BACK ON THE JOB. . According to a notice printed elsewhere the Federal Farm Loan Bank is again ready to operate since the Supreme court has declared the Ir.w constitutional. It is fortunate this is the case just now while the ?ngency is so groat, but it must be borne in mind that because of this | very stringency only the mo3t urgent cases can be handled, but even this will help somewhat to relieve the etfain. Later vvhe.i money matters 1 gftt nearer normcl, the Federal Farm Loan Bank ought to i rove a valuable agency in the general development of the agricultural :nterests of the nation. A GOOD APPOINTMENT. Regardless of political affiliations, the people of Lexington would be glad to see "Sam" Leaphart appointed United States Marshal, as there now seems prospect will be the case. A graduate of the university, a man of Knotnaoa {nfaorlfv nnrt ATI *.. Mr l/(4DAilC!OC7 4UWO*4v v?0 ? ? ? v Leaph^rt enloys the entire eonfid? >c* of the community and his appointment would be welcomed by a large circle of friends. Mr Leaphart's appointment would bring credit to the administration and would be welcomed by the people of South Carolina as an earnest that the powers that be at Washington were endeavoring to fill the offices in their gift with respectable gentlemen. Josephus Daniels' newspaper, the 1 *? I nATir VIQO XUUeigll iicwa anu vuirei?vi; uun uw> a sure 'nuff fighting editor in the i person of the former secretary of the navy, who has resumed his duties. If he does as well by his paper as he did by the navy North Carolina will ' ' s have one good paper. Mr. Bryan says prohibition has saved the nation's drinkers a billion or so dollars, but we have not yet been able to borrow any of it from them. > ' A fellow in our offlce~said that when watermelons get .ripe he expects to cut up some. Which reminds1 us that times will be good after a while. '' The New York Tribune is authority for the statement that the girls will now abandon the cigarette, for the clay pipe. Pity they couldn't imitate our grandmothers in some other ways. PAraONlZE^YOUK PAPER. Frequently solicitors for job printing canvass the various towns in South Florida in which there are located newspapers doing job printing of all kinds. They generally secure more or less work, not because their work is any better or their prices any cheaper, but because the customer has not the nerve to tell the solicitor he believes in patronising home industry. He fails to remember that the local newspaper is every week giving publicity to the town, and putting ? ? *- 4 ? iUiiU CVCi jr ouux.b C4J ttuvau^c tuc mterests of the merchant, the artisan, the workingman and every person in the patronage of the paper does not pay for the issue and then the pubI Usher must make up the deficit from i the receipts of his Job department. The out-of-town printer gives you absolutely no publicity whatever and the exclusive job shop is not in a position to give you publicity. When you are j in need or Job printing, think these matters over and see if you are justified in taking it away from your local papers?Exchange. BACK FROM NORTHERN MARKETS We wish to announce to our friends and customers that, our Mrs. Haltiwanger has just returned from the northern market, where she has selected one of the smartest and most exclusive lines of millinery, dry goods and low quarters for men, women and children. When in town come to see I us. You are always welcome. J. K. HALTIWANGER CO. Chapin, S. C. RASTER CARDS AND BOOKLETS.

No one who has been about the State a bit can realize the difference between Beaufort and the cotton country. Here we have enterprise, busy farms ,and a great crop ready to move and other crops well under way. There one sees on every hand stagnation, hopelessness and something akin to despair due to the low price of cotton, the encroachments of the boll weevil, and the depfessed money market/ We too feel the effects of the general financial condition, but our diversified crops and the energetic and aggressive measures taken by the Truckers Exchange to open new marekts gives us a program for meeting the situation. It has taken every resource at the disposal nf the banks, the merchants and the farmers to finance the making of this crop, and just now when the last of these demands are coming in moneyis so scarce that our people wonder if there really is any such thing anywhere. But in the next three months the tide should turn, with the first shipments of our splendid lettuce crop it has begun to turn. It has taken years of patient effort to build up the truck farms and marketing organization of this county, but now it is here to save us from the inevitable results of the one crop system that the cotton sections are suffering from. It has taken pioneer work, our nn.1 Konlrara on/? rriorrhonfq laiiilCiO CW4VL fc/VhAAAV***? U*44U W*.?.?.VK> have had to break away from the old methods. It has taken grit to overcome the multitude, of unexpected difficulties of these new ventures, and some have failed and dropped out. But today we have a community that is self-confident, alive with enterprise, well knit by a spirit of comradeship, , and glowing with hope.?Beaufort1 i THE STATESMAN. The statesman throws his shoulders back and straightens out his tie, And says, "My friends, unless it rains the weather will be dry." And when this thought into our brains has percolated through, We common people nod our; heads and loudly cry, "How true!" i / The statesman blows his maspfve nose and clears his august throat, And says, "The ship will never sink so long as it's afloat." Wheerat we roll our solemn eyes,applaud with main and might, And slap each other on the back, the while we say, "He's right!" 'r? & The statesman waxes stern apd ^warm, his drone becomes a roarj ? He yells, "I say to you, my friends, that two and two make four!" i>nd thereupon our douhts dissolve our fears are put to route, And we agree that here's a man who knows what he's about. ?Quoted by The Christian Advocate (New York.) DON'T QUIT. 7 When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, And the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and Pi i debts are high And you v/ant to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit j. Rest if you must?but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give us, though the pace seems slow? You may succeed with another blow. f Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too late, when the night slipped down. How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out? The silver tints of the clouds of doubt, \ And you never can tell how close you ; are, It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit? It's when things seem worst that you musn't quit. ?Augusta Chronicle. f- -i^r *>> MOVING PICTURE SHOW AT SHARPE'S HILL. a-hc: pttuuna ui onarpc s JtllH scuooi j and their friends will have an oppor- j lunity to see a first class moving pic- 1 ture show Saturday night, March 19, beginning at 8 p/ m.
