?be StUan fiieralii tyillon, S. C., May 27 1020. . All the candidates tell us they are running for office purely to serve their country, but this doesn't help to solve the servant problem. I \ If the domestic life of many of the movie actresses who play the role of heroines in the love scenes could be thrown on the screen there would be mighty few idols in the movie world. When the Mexicans discover that a president is likely to interfere with their political schemes they shoot Jiim. In the United States the methods are different but the results are I Uie SilUiC. ;< la refusing to let his wife buy a.1 $5,000 hat the president of France * has done exactly what most Dillon men would have done. We know the Dillon men and our conclusion is the ( 'president of France is a very sensible j man. / ( Until it reached 15 cents a pound ' <the price of sugar was too low, but y now there is something wrong some- ^ where when you have to take the j. groceryman into a dark corner and in Q low whispers beg bim to let you have; sugar at 30 cents a pound. a t The latest Mexican revolt shows d how they get rid of a president and S hold an "election"' in the republic e (or whatever you may call it) t;o the ( south. The candidate who doesn't' ^ have the backing of the army ha'. t about as much chance of being elected as Hoke Smith has of being pres:-| dent of the United States, an^ if a: deposed president gets away trith hjs ' * * * M ? n..* ' _ life he may counmimseu iuckj. dui o conditions appear to be improving. In e the last turnover several of the cabi- r net members managed to escape with a their lives. ji c A Third Party Probable. ti Possibilities for a third party of ti importance this year is stated by s some observers to be what they call "bright." No one exactly knows, M however, which form the third party s may take. ,v Some seem to think that if Hiram j Johnson is not nominated at the re-i~ publican convention his followers will j do the Rooseveltian stunt of 1912 and' iorm a party with him at its head.1. And there are Wood and Hoover to be reckoned with. The republicans j -are afraid of Wood because he is a j military man, and mothers and aunts o and sisters will not support a man p for president who is likely to stir up >' a little scrap every now and then Just for the fun of the thing. And 4 it must be remembered that the woman vote in the north and west this' ?. . year will amount to something. ^ Hoover is an unknown quantity. * He is comparable to a young race ^ horse that has developed surprising j fcpeed hi the preliminary heats. With f the old line republicans he carries the j label "handle with care." I 9 It seems to have narrowed down to, I Johnson, Wood and Hoover. There 11 Is strong, almost bitter rivalry: ^ among the friends and supporters of,' each, and if either of the three gets' t the nomination the supporters of the j 1 ?ther two may combine themselves into a third party that will make it very embarrassing to the republicans. This possible split in the republican ' ^ ranks is not the only hope of the dem- j ocrats, as some political observers j seem to think, but anyway it makes s a "regular'' feel like throwing his c hat in ihe air and shouting for joy. (e I c - Fowl. Production Necessary. t ( Not only South Carolina but the t entire nation and probably the whole ( world is facing a serious food famine c The story of Joseph is about to re- f peat itself. There has been an alarm- 1 ing under-production of food stuffs, j and this' combined with a greatly reduced acreage in corn and wheat, has brought about a situation which is , causing much anxiety in well-inform- j ?d circles. E Mr. Hare, the field agent of the j _ Bureau of Crop Statistics for South J Carolina', says the wheat reduction in .. this state this year amounts to 35,-j" 9.00 acres( while the .reduction in thej wtole nation amounts to fifteen mil-' ? lion acres or 33.8 per cent, of a nor- i jtnal crop. '"In view of this great reduction."! Bays Mr. Hare, "prompt and decided! ; action should be taken toward a larg-J er corn crop in this state to help; meet the emergency. Unless something is done to meet this situation, .flour will be on the same basis as j during the war, with this difference ?we were then blessed with large corn yields.'' For some years all signs have been, pointing to the probability that thej United States would in a few years, become an importer of food, instead of an exporter of foodstuffs, as has \?een the case since the beginning of j the republic. j In other words the nation is Ret-, ting top heavy with manufacturing. With the tremendous development of i our manufacturing facilities, with all industries working at top speed and paying extravagant prices for, labor, we see the anomaly of a nation | with millions of acres of agricultural i soil not raising enough food for itsj own needs. . The reason is apparent. The farm-J or is at his wit's end for labor. The' country youth has gone to the cities' I to work, where the pay is bigger ant the lights are brighter. Food mus tome from somewhere, so that curtail nent of farm production naturallj aieans importation of what we fal jhort. High prices are the logica result. The money made in town ii essened in value exactly in propor :ion to the lack of food productioi :?n the farms. Mr. J. S. Wannamaker, presiden >f the American Cotton Association ioins Mr. Hare in a plea to the peo jle of South Carolina to increase th< orn acreage. "The history of th< vorld", 3ays Mr. Wannamaker, "ha: jeen that when a country neglects its jroduction end, its government per sbes. There are millions t( fAA/1 tv*nof nnmo frmy .'C ICU 'auu bUVll iwu UlUok vvui? &4WU :he farms. There to a shortage ir ,'oodstuffs and the shortage is threat >ning our country; if we do not go t( vork determined to relieve this ihortage ruin and decay stares us ir he face." arranxa Buried in Humble Grave Mexico City.
