We think that Governor Manning has made a number of mistakes since he has been in office, but the greatest of them all in our opinion was his appointment of Christie Benet, i Esq., to serve out the unexpired ' term of Senator B. R. Tillman, i Not that we have anything' against Mr. Benet, but he is a young man, practicing law in the city of Columbia, and if he Has pvpr Hnnp ?nvt.hintr for t.hp State of South Carolina we have never heard of it, while we have a number of men who have sacrificed themselves for the good of the commonwealth at a time when the State needed such help. These men are jus; as capable as young Mr. Benct, and we believe in rewarding people for services performed when the opportunity offers. We wish to say right here that from what we know of young Benet, he will probably represent the State of Seuth Carolina in as able manner as either of the gentlemen referred to, and his patriotism has not, so far as we know, been questioned, but j these other men have done something which was of value to the State, while Mr. Benet, it is said, has been the legal advisor of the governor since he | has been in ofiice. ? Gatfney Ledger. For Newspaper Conservation. Preliminary economics affecting all publishers in the United States were annunced last week , by the pulp and paper section of | the war industries board to take | effect on July 15th. Few of these affect the weekly and semi-weekly newspapers, but the program as outlined by the boafd is of interest and is given herewith: On account of the shortage of materials, the paper situation is said to be so acute that the following economics are necessary: Publishers are directed to discontinue the acceptance of return nf nncnM nnnitm KUI II V* UIIUVIU Discontinue the use of all samples or free promotion copies. Discontinue giving copies to anybody except for office working copies, or where required by statute law as in the case of official advertising. Discontinue the arbitrary fore-, ing of copies on newsdealers. Discontinue the buying back of papers at either wholesale or retail selling price from dealers or agents in order to secure preferential representation. ' Discontinue the payment of salaries or commissions to agents or dealers or newsdealers, for ' .the purpose of securing the equal return privileges. Discontinue free exchanges. Issues Another Call. < , General Crowder has made i * another call for 26,000 white reg- 1 Istrants to go into camp fiom ' August 5th to August Dili. Of I these, 800 are to come from this ' state and will be sent to Camp ' Wadsworth, at Spartanburg. York County's Land Assessment. , The dictum of the State tax < commission adding 45 per centh to the assessed valuation of York county farm land as fixed by the * county board of equalization, t will stand. This was the out- i come of a meeting of VV. G. i Querry and J. P. Derham of the t state tax commission with mem- \ bers of the county board of > equalization Tuesday. t The county board of equalize- i tipn, it will be remembered, some f time back decided that $5 42 was t about right as the average as- 1 sessed vatuation of York county > land; but the State tax commis- t sion raised this figure 45 per t cent and settled on $7.95 as the c proper average assessed valua- \ tion for York county land. ? The t JBaquirac. ii (4 Is . ' s , ? Liaise Bit No Wife. A white man walked into the office in the courthouse of 'Squire J. W. Cobb Saturday, according to the Charlotte Observer, aaid he had boucrht a. mnmnM liMnto in York county, S. C.. and that since buying it his promised wife had backed out and skipped. He wanted something done so the license wonld not be registered as if he had been married. 'Squire Cobb pulled his glasses from over his forehead to his eyes and after thinking "deeply" for a moment, wrote the following letter to the judge of probate of York county: "I herewith return to your office for cancellation the marriage license between Nancy and myself. Please make such entry on vour marriage register as will show that Nancy and I are not enjoying connubial bliss. Nancy flew the coop. Keep the change." 'Squire Cobb read the letter to his client; the man said he could not read very well. The letter apparently pleased the disappointed one, for he smiled broadly, shook the hand of the 'squire, signed the letter and left three cents for the justice of the peace to mail it. Hp snid V>/-> ipio worried about losing the woman. The oHly trouble was he did not want it to appear he was married when he was not. He did not want back the dollar he had paid for the license, allowing that for the probate judge to put him straight again on the marriage proposition. News of Gold Hill. The farmers of this section are feeling one hundred per cent better since the rain this week. It made real "Pollyannas" out of us. On last Tuesday night Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Blankenship gave a party complimentary to Mr. Arthur Hill of Los Angeles. | Cal. Mr. Hill is a former Fort Millian having left this community in company with Mr. i Arcy Merritt, another native of this place, in 1912. Mr. Hill has a sixty day leave and states he left Mi. Merritt enjoying life. Mr. and Mrs. Joel Epps and _ 1- .'? J " cnuaren or lampa, Fla., are visiting the former's parent^, j Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Epps. They made the trip by auto. The Flint Hill B. Y. P. U. will hold its first formal "social" and "book shower" at the home of its president on Tuesday night July 23. Much interest and Rood has developed since its organization as evidenced by the rapid growth in membership dnring the last quarter. The whole Baptist held are zealous over the success of the enterprise. The promoters of the recentlyorganized singing school of the community made their initiative at the Gold Hill school house last 1 Friday night. The leaders have secured good local talent to teach and is hoped the public at large will turn out in force. No money will be charged. Hyperion. Gold Hill. July 22. Our Absent Ones. In every family, more or less, there is tin absent one. It may be a sister, a brother, no matter, there is someone of the family circle, some where in the world away from home. Like the nested birds, tnat have learned to winir their wave from ?K?I _ ? -.V,... ; mother breasts, the children of men seek the far away places. Those at home look lor their coming, remembering the little feet about the floor, the child voices that are in the yesterdays. It seems strange that practically every family has this little' quasi sorrow. The mother's son gone into the world; the father's daughter gone into the world. Tiie glow of the fire light pictures the two waiting; watching for the return of those who are 110 longer of the home. Fhe home ties of some are Droken when they leave the nother-arms for college; the ollege, and after that a man's work in the world of men. And so the world is made strong, upon these things. It is ;he old pioneer instinct of men 111.I women. It is the old willingness of the home folks to give o the world their children and >ray that it will use them well. \nd the old world sm\les on hose who have been used well n the homes, on those who lave received the lessons of ruth and high purposes; the essons of manly strength and vomanly endurance. This is he philosophy of the inevitable ireaking up of the family ircle?to love them well enough vhen they are little children to >e sure of them who? they go \ a to the world. ^ V.vv ..... A READY MARKET FOR CANjED GOODS Home-Canned Products Will I be Given Preference Over Maryland and Virginia Pack by Large Concerns. Columbia.?A ready market haa | j been developed In South Carolina tor ! all home-canned fruita and vegetables that will be put up during the coming canning season in excess ot domestic needa. This announcement haa been made by the Conservation and I Production Division of the Food Administration. which has been working on the problem of marketing of ! home-cai ned products for the past 1 two morths. A number of the leading wholesale grocera and Jobbers of , the State have not only expressed their willingness to buy home-canned fruita and vegetables properly prepared for commercial use. but will , give the home-canned product the preference over Maryland and Virginia packed goods. The Food Administration has on flle the requirements of several large concerns and has been asked to find I | |HI /-onnftfl A? * -- ' I ...v t.niiucu i>iuuutis ui Huppiy uieir needs. Thousands of cans of fruits and vegetables can be readily sold, but the packers will be required, as a matter of course, to conform to certain trade rules. In the flrBt place, the price must be in conformity with that for which Maryland and Virginia packed goods can be bought. Canned products should not be offered for the wholesale trade except In large lots. It is suggested that farmers and others who desire to put upfruits and vegetables for the market ! form marketing agencies, in order that their product may he handled in larger lots to a greater advantage. The grades must he uniform and certain standards maintained. The canned product must of course be put up in uniform cases, and the cans uniformly labelled. | Contracts for fall deliveries should be tnade now or in the very near future. | Canning clubs, community clubs or marketing agencies with large quantities of canned fruits and vegetaoles to ofTer for sale should write the Food Administration, Conservation and ProHllPtlfin HivUInn ........ .-...a...... m v uiuiuum, milling; what they have to offer at the present time or what they will have to deliver in the fall, stating the price desired and all Information. The Pood Administration will make no purchases or sales, but it may serve as a connecting link to bring the packers and the dealers together. As has already been announced, there will be plenty of cans and Jars available for home c&nners during the com ng season. Communities that are not supplied should report to the Food Administration at Columbia, and merchants will be put In touch with sources of supply upon request. Attractive stock labels can be bought at a very low price. Packers of fruits and vegetable* should remember that they c&unot expect to receive the retail price for their products If sold at whole sale, and those who have only Job lots to offer should seek a market* In their home communities. The wholesaler and the jobber cannot handle Job lots. Any information which may be desired by any interested person or canning cl. h will be furnished by the CopservcMon and Production Division of the Food Administration, Columbia. ] I DANGEROUS RUMOR SHOWN TO BE FALSE Columbia.?ReportB In circulation to the efTect that Food Administration officials had stated no further conservation of wheat waa uocessary have been nailed as unfouded in a telegram received by William Elliott. State food administrator, from Herbert Hoover. ".Vo statement of this character has ever been issued." says Mr. Hoover, and the federal food administrator then states frankly the exact situation which emphasizes the absolute necessity of even greater conservation of j wheat than the American people hava yet practiced. For that reason the appeal was recently made to the American people, through the churches, by Mr ..bin. . v- ~ ' iiitti every one who possibly can do so discontinue eating wheat or wheat products in any ; form until the next harvest. It is stated in Mr. Hoover's talegradi that American supplies of wheat until the next harvest allow a home consumption of not more than one- i third of normal, if America is to main- ! tain allied supplies?that is. the send- } inn of wheat to hhirope, as thts :ountry is pledged to do. At the beginning of May. there were in farmers' hands and in storage in America about 7K.000.000 bushel* of wheat, which will hare to carry the American people for approx'mately threo month*, until the new crop comes in. America's normal consumption for three months would be 120,000.000 bushels, not allowing the allies anything. It can therefore be ren llly seen that repor.'ta quoting Food Administration officials as saying there is no further need a' wheat saving are simply enemy propaganda of a very daugercus kind | fw&sl MltmiVTU UNITED STATES JXyVEBMMlMT Buy Them And Help Win The War roa SALS KVSKYWHKU FO.-t SALE?One fine Jersey Milch Cow with young calf.
