Our Dollars.
It isn't a question of exposure,
suffering, physical agony and
menial torture with us. It's
just a matter of dollars, with
which we are more plentifully
supplied than any other nation
on the face of the earth.
We have shown our appreciation
of what was being done on
the battlefield before. We lent
our dollars to the government
and helped accomplish victory.
Uncle Sam pays us interest on
our dollars, and he has used
them to good advantage. Justice
has been reinstated, hope
restored in the breasts of millions
crushed by oppression, and
democracy has been saved for
the world.
Opportunities stretch out to us
in the years to come.
TT.J . n j_
uncie aam needs some more
of our dollars, however, to wind
up his part of the world argument;
to pay his bills and redeem
his obligations, to maintain his
honor and newly won position
before the world; to make good
with the men who fought.
Citizens of Fort Mill should
feel a great pride in the fact
that our town is accredited with
being the first town in the State
to subscribe its allottment to the
Victory loan. But there is yet
more to be done. If you have
pledged your support to the loan,
take up the pledges promptly
and help out in the grandest
cause known to humanity.
I . Value of Farm Lands.
-Farm land value has not advanced
in the same degree that
the composite price of crops and
live stock has from the beginning
of the war to 1918. Results
of a recent investigation by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates,
United States Department of 1
Agriculture, revealed that, although
farm land value alone
gained in 1915 and led in the
relative advance in 1916. it lost
its head in 1917 and, moreover,
fell far behind the relative gain
1 lN nrioo A# A??Arvu nrvrl l?i?r>
mmm V1IV |/i IW VI VI V|JO CI IH I 11 VC
stock in that year and in 1918.
From 1914 to 1915 farm land
value, not including that of
buildings, increased 11 per cent,
while the price of crops and live
stock lost 3 per cent. In the |
following year land value went i
op 23 per cent above 1914 and
the price of crops and live stock
also advanced, but only by 12 per
cent. A reversal of the relativity
of these movements appeared
in 1917, when land value '
gained only 38per cent in 1914
and crops and live stock gained
74 per cent. The divergence increased
in 1918, since the gain
above 1914 was 50 per cent for
land value and 97 per cent for
crops and live stock.
Farm land value is supposed
to be related, at any rate largely
related, to the net profit of
farming, and in fact it is often
somewhat affected even by single
years of high or scant profit,
yet the value of farm land advanced
in 1915, although the
price of crops and live stock declined,
in comparison with 1914,
and gained relatively much more
than price did in 1916; but, on
the other hand, its relative gain
in 1917 and 1918 was far from
equaling that of price. There
has been much disparity, first i
on one side and then on the
other, between the two move- 1
ments of land value and product
price.
Perhaps a scarcity of farm
labor weakened the demand for i
farms in the last two years, and ?
perhaps, also the net profit of
farming, because of extraordinarily
high cost of production.
.. was not as great as the high '
i price of products would indicate t
. superficially.

But outside of that everything
went quietly* Practically every
voter who could find his registration
certificate, and that included
113 of them, went out and
voted. And all of them but
three voted yes on both issues?
first the question of issuing
$60,000 worth of bonds, and
second the issue of incorporating
the abutting property owner
statute in the charter of the
town. There were only three
negative votes and they were
cast againBt both issues. The
next step is to sell the bonds and
it is expected that this will be
accomplished without difficulty.
After that the plans and specifications
as to paving will be
submitted to contractors, and it
is expected that work will be
commenced early in the summer,
possibly before the end of May.

J. P. Giles Dies Suddenly.
Friends of J. P. Giles were
shocked to learn of his death,

Mr. Giles, who worked at the
Palmetto meat market and was
well known in the city, had been
an invalid during the past two
months, but had not been confined
to his bed all the time. He
was sitting on the porch of his
residence, 423 Pine street, a
short time before his death.

Easy Prey to Drugs.
The government, as a result of
recent investigations concerning
the use of narcotic drugs, reports
that native-born Americans
possess less self control in the
use of these poisons than do the
foreigners in this country, and
that except among those races
with whom the use of opium and
hashish is a national habit, the
use of drugs is more wide-spread
here than anywhere else in the
world.
This warning should strike
home to American hearts, whose
very lightness makes them the
more easily subject to this destroying
habit. ,
In the course of its report, the
government makes plain the
great danger in narcotic medicines
for the alleviation of pain,
and reiterates the oft-repeated
warning to physicians and par
tients as to their use.
