The general advance in prices on almost everything used by all industries has effected the printers of the country probably as heavily as any other line of business. A card, reading as follows, was received by The Times last week from one of the lead-1 ing paper concerns of the South: "Richmond, March 11. "Owing to continued advances by manufacturers, we are forced to advance our prices 33 1-3 per cent, over list price on our entire line, with the usual extra percentage for colors. "B. W. Wilson Paper Co." This means that a printing house must pay one-third more for its raw stock at present than it did a few months ago. It also means that the profits of the printers are reduced just onethird. if work is turned out at former prices. The Times, therefore, finds it is forced to follow up the advance in the the price of material with an advance on all job printing, and all future orders will be taken at an advance of 20 per cent, over prices heretofore charged. Little Real News From Front. The news from Mexico is naturally of a confusing character. Many of the reports are at best but idle rumors and especially is this apt to be the case with the conflicting statements in regard to the attitude of Carranza and the movement of his troops. Rather than an effort to figure out the confusing situations as given in the reports, we would take the word of Washington that conditions are favorable. If Washington wants to send out the word that the news from Mexico is optimistic, it may be taken for granted that no disap pointment has been encountered and that the American plans are being carried out so far according to expectations. Observer readers will bear in mind that it is the real news that is being censored. The news that comes in a general way is picked up here and there from reports heard and imagined, and as none is of a kind that would do harm to American operations in Mexico, no particular care is exercised to prevent its dissemination. The real news goes to Washington and that is where the censorship is in effect. With the reading public it is a case of hare and hounds and the news from the chase, if not authoritatively detailed, is interesting. But of the actual movements of the Americans who are on the trail of Villa we may know nothing until it is given out from Washington. When we hear from Pershing we may have some news that will thrill. It will very likely make all good Americans feel that it was worth waiting for. - Charlotte Observer. The president of the United States could relieve a lot of anxiety among the people of this country by loosening up the telegraph wires and letting us know what our soldier boys over in Mexico are doing. We cannot see the necessity of such a rigid censorship over the Mexican dispatches. anyway. It is a disgraceful sight to see 1 even a man staggering along the street in a drunken condition, i but when the young hoys, mere "kids." get dnuik to the point where they stagger and fall in the street. Cod alone, it would seem, can save the town. We thought once about asking Mr. Manning to sign that twoquart law. but it occurred to us on second thought that this is election year and that such a request would be useless. In the meantime in might he well for the United States government to remember that old man Carranza, as well as Villa, j ia a M<ftcican. * f ) - Another Old Soldier Dead. J. P. A. Davidson, known by his friends as "Doc" Davidson, died the morning of Sunday, March f2, at the home of H. M. Kimbrell. a few miles east of Charlotte. Mr. Davidson had been ill for many months. J. P. A. Davidson was well known in Fort Mill and this section. He was a brother of t le late John W. Davidson, in his day one of the prominent citizens | jof upper Lancaster county. Mr. Davidson rendered valiant ser! vice to the Confederacy, and suffered the loss of an arm in one of the engagements. It is said t hat he went out as a member of t ne Charlotte Riflemen at the I beginning of the war, and took part in the tight at Bethel, Va., tne first real engagement of the two armies after the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Mr. Davidson was 70-odd years of age and was never married. Mr. Banks Honored. Readers of the Sunday School Times will be interested in the announcement just appearing in that well known publication to the effect that Mr. Howard A. j Banks, private secretary to Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, has succeeded Prof. H. P. Beach of Yale University, as editor of its Missionary Watch Tower department; Prof. Beach is one of the foremost authorities on missionary effort in the country and the honor to Mr. Banks of being his successor is one of notable consequence.

In the south, threefourths of the neonle are farm ers. The great banking law put through by this administration made some provision for farmers but none for the man who has to buy his land and needs long credit on it. Six months is the longest credit he can get under that law. There should have been a land credit system embraced in it. whereby a man could get a long credit and low rate of interest on real estate and enable him to buy, or redeem. a home. Why was it not passed with the balance of the bill. -Advertisement. Wood's Productive Seed Corns.
