' / v LOCAL OWNERSHIP. / Lexington is to be congratulated that its telephone service is owned'by local people, who are close to them, and who know, and appreciate. condi;t tions existing i at present, and. are * ?,i j.-. 'T | r- . r ' therefore willing to continue to render good .sprvice at reasonable rates. state up In arms at 'the recent rise which the Southern Ben Telephone Company has put across and ;tlie cancellation of free fervice to neighboring towns in the county, our people are assured that they Wil) hot hive to pay more for their seryicje in these tight times nor Will thehr service be curtailed, but, on the contrary, the management Is constantly adding to and improving ^the servlco and has given assurance of keeping In force the same rates. It shows the value, wherever possible, of the ownership of public service properties by local interests. ( WIIA. TARIFF HEIiP? i Just what' the- Southern farmer may expect in the way of benefit from a tariff on cotton we cannot see. The cotton market is stagnant todav not because of overproduction but by reason of underconsumption, owing ,to the inability of foreign countries to buy the raw material. The half< clothed people of many lands sorely need cotton, but have nothing with which to '^>ay for The Imposition of a high tariff, such as the party now In power proposes to impose, will hinder the flow of merchandise from other countries to the United States and by that much tend further to dopress the market for cotton. This, it seems to us, is the logic of the situation. If it have an nnnnxitn offont we will be glad indeed, but it seems reasonable to hope that it will. To give the devil his due, however, the new administration has appeared disposed to be quite sympathetic to the plight of our Southern farmers. In putting the machinery of the War Finance Corporation behind the export of cotton, they have evidenced a disposition to aid ir the restoration of a better market for cotton, and there is hope that if the South does not make too large a crop this year their help will prove of great aid. WEST AND SOUTH TO JOIN. Are we soon to see in this country a new political alignment in national politics which will put new political forces in the saddle and perhaps create a new party? The report comes *rom Washington that a coalition has been formed in the senate of the United States hetween senators representing the great agricultural sections of the West and South which will give them the balance of power in that body. Many years ago it was the dream of Southern Democrats that a coalition of dhe Western and Southern farmers would be formed which would sweep the country and place the agricultural sections of the United States dominant politicallly. But the hope, has appeared vain, .and both sections have remained wedded to their idols1?tho West solid for protection and the South for Democracy. The combination of the two sections, if formed, would be .formidable and might easily cause an entirely new alignment in politics. But whether ^ the West breaks away from Republicanism or the South turns its back on democracy it would seem that the representatives in congress from the two sections might easily And it to our advantage to forget partizanship where the interests of tho farmers, who constitute so large a part of their constltutents, are at stake. Tho development of tho movement in congress will bo watched with interest. It-is to be doubted if there ever was a time when the big financiers of this country wero so completely in the aaddle. Ajid they, are riding, too. V 4 TAKE OAJttE OP THEM. ' - ?'* - , ? , The efforts "now being made to adopt a plan ?$y which American soldiers disabled in the world war may t>e- adequately oared for Instead ot being allowed to suffer while red tape bars their way to speedy relief should have the united support?';,of evory congressman, regardless of party affiliation* It would bo moro than, a shame if any disabled veteran of the world goes lor a day without proper cfo** to bring, him back to normal, or, if that is impossible; adequate care tor life, if necessary. The tax burdens are undoubtedly heavy, and nobqdy is abxious to see them increased, but it would be criminal in a country as rich as the United States tp neglect the men who willingly offered themselves as a sacrifice on thelr-country's oltar, and no taxpayer will. begrudge the money necessary to take care of the disabled soldiers. We have no knowledge that ftny of tho veterans have lacked for propor governmental attention, but such charges have been made. They should be sifted to the bottom and such obstacles as may ' have prevented their proper treat ' ment ought to bo removed Immediately. j ? r* _ There is still business to be had for the man who goes after it. It will soon bo time for blackberries and boll weevils, of which we prefer the former. It is said that this country is threatened with an invasion of paper clothes from' Germany. iSyldently paper is cheaper in Germany than in this country. ' ' We heard a goritleman from Georgia say the other day that if frost didn't kill the Georgia peach crop freight rates would. Which comes miehtv near being true. The present circulation of n >ey in the United States is said to b about $80 .per head. Wo are still coking for the other $79.84 to make up our share. From some sources there arc indications that the people of Germany are *pnjoyins prosperity. Factories are reported us gonoVally going full blast and the Germans gradually regaining manv of their old markets.' "NERVOUS WRECK." * Cotton appears to be a nervous wreck. The least intimation of labor or other trouble causes it to grow wenlf and nervous followed by a ?ftinkirig* spell." Last week it showed some signs of slightly improving. It went up something more than a quarter of a cent a pound, and then there were rumors of a big strike in Europe and the "sinking spell" followed rapidly and it lost more than it had gained. If there eould be some way ddvised to stop so many strikes and threatened strikes, conditions would Improve, but pnion labor seems to be constantly on the demand for additional advantages or pay, and they shake confidence in business as myjch to their own hurt as to any other parties concerned.?Wateree Messenger. MONEY FROM LETTUCE. Special to The State. Beaufort. April 16.?Ross Hughes, a prominent young farmer of Cat Island, made a fine crop of lettuce this year. Mr. Hughes had 28 acres planted In lettuce, oft of which he cut on an average of, 812 baskets to the acre.
