So long as the city schools are jHKgrittetter than the country schools. Egood fathers and mothers in our aBf. Irural districts will have a Bp g? genuine reason for desiring to jjg.-FwSt away from the country and jS ; to live in town. If they did not Kg desire that their children should HT have the best educational ad^Hgwantages obtainable, they would HR not be good fathers and mothers. Bgj Until we can create such conL ditions as will put within the hk reacn or every country child as JP K good a school as is within the ft reach of any city child, we must Hpi^ expect that many of the best ft people from the country will deft P sire to move to town and that they will actually move to town g as soon as they are financially able to do so. J Thus we will drain out of the J: country districts many of the H -. very best country people. What ft te said of schools will apply 1 equally well to churches, public ' libraries, play and recreation grounds, and all the othei civilizing agencies.?Dr. T. N. Carver, Harvard College. Farmers Holding Cotton. York county farmers are showing no disposition to market their cotton at the prevailing price, which thev consider fai below its actual worth. Practically all the warehouses have : / . been filled to overflowing, whih thousands of bales have beer / stored in outhouses on farms. The general opinion among thost holding cotton is that the staph will sell for 35'cents before tin next crop is planted, and there is a strong determination among I VIIVI IIVIU^IO IIUL lli fJCTI %f WW IVU their cotton until this figure haf been reached. The cotton crop throughout York county has turned out much better than was expected the yield being considerably Pmore than last year. Farmers of all kinds?land owners, rent ere and croppers?are enjoying a period of unusual prosperity, there probably being more money in circulation among them than ever before. i i ^ ' Winthrop Hakes Announcement.

A negro named Phil Kennedy was railroaded through the court in short order last Monday. He had stolen cotton on Saturday. was detected on Sunday and ar rested on Monday morning. On being brought into conrt before the discharge of the grand jury a true hill was returned forthwith, and on a plea of guilty he was sentenced to six months on the chaingang. The clerks of the York county exemption board received an order on Friday from the provost marshal's office announcing that all questionnaires of draftees between the ages of 18 and 36 must be returned by December 8, and that none should be accepted by the board after that date. Frank Moore, one of the men wanted for the murder of T. R. Penninger at Sharon on Monday, September 30, last, is under arrest at Raleigh, N. C.r and Sheriff Quinn is to go after him " today.

A few days later a letter, was received from another so1-! dier saying that Sergeant Bailes haa been wounded in "action. The conflcting stories carried by the two letters caused the father of the young man to take the matter up with the war department through Congressman W. F. Stevenson, and the congressman has forwarded to Mr. Baih a here the department's reply to his inquiry, which reads: "Washington, D. C., "Nov. 27, 1818. "Hon. W. F. Stevenson, "House of Representatives, "My Dear Sir. "Referring to your recent inquiry. a cable received in this office from abroad states that Frivate (Sergeant) James E. Bailes, Company G, 118th Infantry, was reported severely wounded in action Oct'lv r 8. 1913. "This office has no further ininformation regarding Private (Sergt.) Bailes. "Respectfully, "P. C. Harrris, Adj't uen'i." Mr. and Mrs. Bailes have not received any news direct from Sergeant Bailes, but the above; communication seems to establish. beyond doubt, that their son was not killed in action, as was first reported. Xhe 30th to Rental* Abroad. A special dispatch from Washington Sunday to the Columbia State says that Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff, has corrected an erroneous press story from abroad that the Thirtieth Division, made up of troops from South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee, was on the way to the United States. This report came to this country several days ago and was generally credited as being correct. General March stated Saturday mornincr that this division, with the Twenty-seventh, has been returned to Ueneral Pershing's command and has not been assigned l'or transportation home. In spite of this statement it is believed in Washington that the Thirtieth will be at home inside of the next 30 nr fin Hnua NO ONI UFFERHD HIRE.

The contribution made by the producers of this country to the war program as applying particularly to animal food products la Illustrated by the following: [ Reports compiled by the U. 8.

Without this Increase the shipping program arranged by Mr. Hoover regarding aaimal food products would have been Impossible. The dressed bog products during the three months ending September 80^ 1917, amounted to 903,179,000 pounds, while for the corresponding months of 1918 the dressed hog products totaled 1,277,689,000, an increase of over S7<000,000 pounds for the quarter. During the same period for 1917 the records of Inspected slaughter of dreaaed beef showed 1,203,000,000 pounds as against 1,454,000,000 pounds for the three month period ending September 1, this year.

With Military Demand* Upon Oo*an j hipping Relieved, World la Able ta Return to Normal Whlta Whaat Broad. Binca tha advent of tlie latent whaat crop the only, limitation upon American axpprta to Europe haa been the abort age of shipping. Between July 1 and October 10 we shipped 65,080.305 bushels. If thla rate ahould continue until the end of the fiscal year we will have furnished the Allies with more than 287,600,000 bushels of wheat and flour In terms of wheat, i The result -?f Increased production and conservation efforts In the United States has been that with the cessation of hostilities we are able to return to a normal wheat diet Supplies that have accumulated In Australia, Argentina and other hitherto Inaccessible markets may be tapped by ships released from transport service, and European demand for American wheat probably will not exceed our normal surplus. There Is wheat enough available to have a white loaf at the common table. But last year the tale was different Only by the greatest possible saving and sacrifice were we able to keep a steady strearil of wheat and flour moving across the sea. We found our ( selves at tba beginning of the harvest , year with an unusually ahort crop. Even the moat optlmlatlc statisticians figured that we had a bare surplus of 20,000,000 bushels. And yet Europe was facing the probability of a bread famine?and In Europe bread la by far the moat Important article In the diet U of thla surplus had left the country early In the fall. By the first ' of the year we had managed to ship a little more than 50,000,000 bushels by practicing the utmost economy at home?by wheatless days, wheatless ' meals, heavy substitution of other cereala and by sacrifice at almost every meal throughout the country, t la January the late Lord Rhondda, then British Food Controller, cabled that only If we sent an additional 75,000,000 bnshels before July 1 could he take the responsibility of assuring his people that they would be fed. The response of the American people was 85,000,000 bushels safely delivered overseas between January 1 and July L Out of a harvest which gave as only 20,000,000 bushels surplus we actually shipped 141,000.000 bushels. Thus did America fulfill her pledge that the Allied bread rations could be I maintained, and already the American ' people are demonstrating that, with an awakened war conscience, last year's figures wlll .be bettered. i * + Our exports since Is country 4* I + entered the war have Justified a + 4* statement made by the Food Ad- + + ministration shortly after its con- 4? 4* caption, outlining the principles 4* 4* and policies that would govern 4> the solution of this country's 4* + food problems. 4> + "The whole foundation of de- + + mocracy." declared the Food Ad- 4* + ministration, "lies In the Indl- 4* 4* vldual initiative of Its people 4* 4* and their willingness to serve the 4* + Interests of the nation with com- 4* 4* plete self effacement In the time 4* ef emergency.
