House Your Cotton.
Millions of dollars are lost
every year through improper
storage of rotton. This has
!>en known in a general way
for a long time by everybody
interested in cotton, but probbly
very few of us have even
,uspected what a tremendous
factor storage is in the trade,
or the astounding lot of money
thrown away by the individual
owner who lets a bale of cotton
stay on the ground.
'Some tests conducted by the
United States Department of
Agriculture recently were
\ brought out and their results
weie so startling that the de
pavement oesires 10 aia in gaming
for them widest possible
dissemination and most careful
consideration.
The most striking fact disclosed
was that a 492-pound bale
of cotton stored flat on the
ground for six months lost 232
pounds, leaving 260 pounds for
the market, while another bale
stored properly in a warehouse
lost ojily two pounds. This
means that, if the price was
thirty cents a pound, the loss on
the first bale was $69.60. The
loss on the bale in the warehouse
was but sixty cents.

Sugar and Sense.
In 1918, while the world was
stilt engaged in war, with sugar
production curtailed, sugar ships
ill id' in port and fighting men
needing this fuel food, America
"ind plenty of food on hand for
the canning season.
In 1919, with part of the prov1
a-tion restored, with ships moving
much more freely than when
they were being sunk by the
Germans, the canning season
found the country with a shortage
of the precious preservative.
What were the reasons?
Many are given, each explaining
its own bit of difficulty,
f here were dockyard strikes, for
example. And there was an
unprecedented demand for sugar
and soft drinks to take the place
of alcoholic ones.
But there was one big, vital
reason far more compelling than
thege. In 1918 there was real
danger that there would not be
enough sugar to go around. And
Herbert Hoover, like the Josoph
of the Bible tale, foresaw the
iean days con.ing and prepared
for them. He figured out an
amount of sugar which would
keep the family dinner table supplied
with a lair degree of comU..4
i ^
iuit, uui wmiuui any extravagance.
Almost every housewife
was eager to see the war woif
and there was surprisingly little
trouble over the card system of
sugar distribution.
Then when the fruit began to
ripen in the orchards and car
dens, ail a woman had to do was
to state to the proper authorities
the size of her family and the
amount of fruit she wished to
can, and her permit for sugar in
(jioporiion to her needs was
lorthcoming.
In other words, the sugar was
teriftily saved from the days
when it was not needed for the
Uij' s when it was. This year
there was no check upon extravagance,
and the American people.
in true grasshopper style,
ate up their canning sugar before
canning time.
Is it necessary for this kind of
chaos to continue in our food af
(fairs? Have we learned nothing
from these terrible years?
It is not really sugar that we
are short of. It is good, common
sense.

Officers operating in King's
Mountain township Monday destroyed
a large moonshine plant
on the McElwee place which is
rented by'Gad Dover. The plant
was found complete in a cane
thicket with the exception of the
worm. It was evident that a
big run of moonshine had recently
heen made. More than 1,000
gallons of slop were destroyed
by the officers.
"Business for fakirs at. the
York county fair in Rock Hill
opened with a rush." remarked
a York county officer. "Gambling
games of almost every
description were in evidence as
soon as the fair opened. Five
persons were arrested at the
fair grounds in Rock Hill Wednesday
charged with operating
gambling games. One fortune
telling outfit made a good thing
for awhile Wednesday until
officers broke up tbe game. The
scheme was to fret hold of some
fellow with money, have him to
hold a ten dollar bill in his hand
and then through a system of
mesmerism, hypnotism or something
of the kind the ten dollar
bill would disappear. In several
instances the owners didn't get
'em back."
Back to Private Ownership.
The railroads of the United
States will be turned back to
private ownership on December
1st, 1919, according to
Walker D. Hines, federal director
of railways, who made a
statement to this effect before
the national association of railway
and public utilities commissioners.
at a convention in
Indianapolis last week. The
director general stated that the
roads would revert to private

year regardless of whether or
not congress enacted regulative
legislation.
Hail, Super Hen!
A ray of light breaks through
the dark cloud enveloping strug
gling America. Alton E. Briggs,
president of the National Poultry
Egg and Butter Association,
says that a super-hep is being
bred, and before long the type
will be common and reach the
public, and the cost of living
will descend, because they are
super-hens, and their eggs will
be two to three times as large as
their present size, and vet these
marvels can be produced at a
cost not much greater than
present prices.
Right in conjunction with this
glad tidings comes the suggestion
of ihe Department of Agriculture,
that every back yard
should contain its flock of chickens
tended and groomed so as to
give the greatest percentage of
profit to the owner and the
smallest percentage of annoyance
to the neighbors.
May heaven speed the day!
Who cares what becomes of the | i
tulip bed or the pansies. who j
would keep clock golf, if in their
place he might see a flock of
super-hens strutting proudly
about his yard, and know that
in the intimate darkness of the
hen house were super-eggs,
which would enable him to look
his butcher and his grocer in the '
eye, a free man and unashamed?
Hail, super-hen! Bright angel
of the new dawn. A nation
awaits your coming. ?Ex.

V'ilt Dbtble Siie of Mill.
Hamilton Carhartt, who is
spending som^ time at bis lodge
at CarharU station, near the
city? is planning extensive additions
to the plant in Rock HID,
also to the plant at Carhartt,
these additions t involving, ah
expenditure of more than $500,000.
It became known today
that Mr. Carhartt, who is the
largest manufacturer of overalls
in the world, and is known to
'many as the "Overall King," is
preparing for these extensive
additions, which will mean a
greatly increased payroll," both
in Rock Hill and at the Carhartt
plant.
Mr. Carhartt plans to at once
begin the construction of units
to the plant at Carhartt, known
as mill number two, which will
double the production capacity,
entailing a cost of something
over $300,000. Mr. Carhartt, in
addition, contemplates an addition
to. the Rock Hill mill,
known as number one, adding
several thousand spindles and
several hundred looms, at an
expense of around a quarter of a
million dollars. . This addition,
it is understood, will be in the
form of a wing to the present
structure and will front on
Chatham avenue, thereby making
this one of the most attractive
looking plants to be found
anywhere. ? The Herald.
Robbed on Highway.
