The Governor's Mistake.
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

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

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.

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.

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 |
