The United States, he sail, entered the war to keep the power of V russianism from ruling the world, both on land and on sea. By the logical process of destruction he argued that if the United States had permitted Germany to have its way. to have put an end to high sea shipping, for instance, then the cotton planters of the South would have had on their hands now five or six million bales of cotton which could not have been transported upon the high seas. Of course, the deeper motives America possessed in entering the war were far removed from those of a mercenary kind, but oo tuu vuiuiiiuiit oiaie auimraoiy sajra: "Whoever then shall say that the United States was wrong in going: into this war declares that the Southern farmers should have gone into voluntary bankruptcy for the sake of peace. The reasons for ac-, cepting the German challenge were J infinitely higher and better than this one of the right to produce cotton and sell it elsewhere, but it alone would have justified our war of selfdefense. j ?

Why Not Hagsdnle? ______ We need men on the stump inj South Carolina this year who will stir the fire of patriotism that is smouldering in the hearts of many of our people. Senator Tillman says he is not going t?> make any speeches but will stay at his post in Washington. He may be needed in Washington more than in South Carolina. Hut we need somebody who can reach and enthuse the people of this state as to the dango- of German dnmi*v??ion nnd atr? _s. u v k.... .. :'r ..i better qualified for this task than J. W. Ilagsdale. We believe that all who heard him at the farmers' picnic at Dyer's Hill last summer will agree with us. He can kindle the patriotism of the state into ? roaring fire, if anybody can. He would leave no standing room in this state for a LaFollette or a Tom Watson. We believe Kagsdale would stand a good chance of being elected to the United States senate. But, whether elected or defeated, if he should CONSERVATION TO 1 BE INTENSIFIED Food Administration Outline; Policy to Meet Desperate Food Situation.

Potatoes are universally liked The food administration has been assured that Irish potatooe can be bought at vary reasonable prices from all local markets. and if they cannot be had the food administrator at Columbia would be please dto be advised so that any deficient market can be supplied Potatoes are an acceptable substitute for bread A pound of baked | potatoes is equal in nntritive value to even ounces of bread.
