The packers at the time intimated that they might have to go out or businss?the profit was too small to get along on. But Uncle Sam was not satisfied with the way things looked in th? big packing houses and so he started j an investigation. Now the packers admit that they have made a 30 percent profit and we suppose Uncle Sam is going to make them turn 1_ over that extra 21 percent. This looks like a curtailment of : one's liberties?but it is not. We i have enjoyed almost unrestricted 1 liberty in this country so long that we have come to look upon our liber- ' ties tfs privileges. Large combinations of capital operated on the the- ^ ory that they had a right to do as ( they pleased with their earnings so < long as they staid within the law. But the war has put a different complexion ou things. The meat pack-; era, along with other large corpor-' auons, nave discovered that repub-j i lican-madc privileges they enjoyed I t ed in times of peace cannot be exer-.y cised under a democratic auniinistra- a tion in times of war. ^ 1 Everything the farmer buys has j ^ gone up, with no government price-j fixing policy in sight, yet there is an insistent demand for the govern-1 ^ ment to fix u price on what the far-j( mer produces. The government is ^ urging the farmer to produce and; r the public is urging the government 1 j; to fix a price on what the farmer pro- 1 duces. The inanufueuir?particularly 1 I the manufacturer oi materials need- j' ed to carry on the war?is making j' huge profits and the profits are coin-!* ing out of the people in the way of!1 taxes, still the people think the man-' ufacturer is only getting what he is legitimately entitled t", while on t!n other hand the fnrmei is accused of i being the nation's greatest war pro ! fiteer. Thirtj cents a pound for col- 1 ton is little enough when the high ' cost of agricultural supplies is tak- ' en into consideration, and as cotton has come to be recognized as a necessary food crop, the government1, would make a mistake to attempt to regulate the price to suit the consumer. The cotton farmc has had rough sledding for the past ten years, and has carried his burden without a murmur of complaint. If there are any profits to be earned out of the war he is entitled to the lion's 1 share. An inspired paragrapher says: I "We must think as one, fight as one and die as fene." This is putting it VV'e are willing to do our MAIL FOR AMERICAN WAR PRISONERS FostoAce Department Makes aa Announcement of the Rules Governing Sending.

Something this county has been needing for a good long time is . going to be brought here?thanks to the efforts of Dillon Hardware Co., of Dillon, and C. McLaurin, of Minturn, well known merchants and good citizens who believe in helping the "other fellow" as welt as selling Mm goods. The thw.g these gentlemen are bringing to their section is nothing more nor less than the Jobson System?something that will undoubtedly bring bigger crops to our farms. This System and Mr. Jobson's remarkable plow has creat-ed more talk in the South than anything that's happened since the -big war began, and the endorsements great Agriculturists, State Officials, leading farmers and practical men everywhere have given it, puts its merits and benefits entirely beyond question. As a matter of fact, the Jobson System of deep plowing, less cost Snd more crops, is nothing on earth but good, common sense, and anybody can see the big benefits of it as soon us they read the booklet now being given out free by the above I tamed firms. n This book crtainly gives some | .^un t?imiYic-a ill Billing it mi su ill" | nor plowing and no farmer can af-. 'old to go a head with his crop this rear without getting a copy and 'ending up on it. The plow holds out the benefits of ieep tilling which were pracitcally jeyond the reach of small farmers jverywhere. It does this at a ridiculously small price. It handles wet and from one to three days earlier :han any other plow. It does two or three plowing in one, and the fact that it goes ten inches deep on the ?anie draft it lakes to~pull any other t>lo\v a depth of six inches is established by the positive statement of is great an Agriculturist'as Hon. F. J. Merriiim, Editor and President of aneof the great farm papers of the Country- The Southern Ruralist, of Atlanta. Our county dealers are much interested in getting a large number of tlies plows on our farms this season, and tlley take this occasion to invite every public spirited citizen in! the County to come in and investigate this movement.
