"Caah and Carry." * In aoipc Hectiontt of the country the coat of food to tlio houM*kcc]>er 1i?h boon reduced ten |>ev cent, nlmply by reviving the old time cum torn our mother* had of going ro market with a market hn.sk W and taking purchase* homo Inn tend of having thetu deliver ed. Whenever women have cxprctwcd their wllllngneHH to carry their pur chase* home themxelvoft and ho reduce their c?wt, the grocern, almoat with out except lop, have cooperated with thom to thiM end. _ In the fctoren whore the plan haw 1 price#: "cash and carry" tho lowest "charge ami <vifrry," flvo |*ir cent inure, <t 1 1 < I "charge and deliver" an other five per cent more, making a possible Having of 10 js-r cent. Such a system Is fair to both tin1 grocer and tin* purchaser, for the former reduces his ex jkmihcs of de livery and of keeping accounts, while the, cash customer who taken her good* with her (Iooh not have to lx?ar the unjust expense Incurred hy her neighbor who charges her purchases and has them delivered. Can Tim War I^ist? It seems incredible, despite the pre dictions of military experts, that this war can last for another year, de clares "Jasper," writing In Leslie's. It is too terribly exhausting. The spirit of revolution as^'nst It Is In the air, not only in Kussia, lnit also anions the i>cople of all the contend ing nations. In (ierniany it Is not ap parent so much among the ifcasses as among the classes ? the great bankers, heads of industries and of .shipping The revolution In CSermany Is not like ly to come from the bottom, but from the top. When the great bankers and captains of industry fully appreciate what the Isolation of (Jennany means they will lie driven t ? ? demand over tures l'or |>eaco. Whether the Kaiser can resist those powerful Intluenees may be questioned, but without money he cannot continue the dreadful con-! tliet. I am among those who believe: that the end of the war will lx? In sight in 1P1N and jmnioo may come as unexpectedly as the war did. A few days ngo we talked with aj gentleman from Chicago who used to edit a "South Carolina newspaper. lie had been home on a" few days' visit to his parents who live in the country. The conversation turned to the war and he said the people of South Caro line lived like they did not know this nation was at war with a powerful military organization. He went on to tell how the food supply In Chicago bad diminished and how tire people were suffering Then he contrasted conditions In South Carolina with conditions in Chicago. He said there was no scarcity of food down here. He complained bitterly of the heavily laden tables at which be had dined during his few days in South Carolina. He said we were wasting at each meal more than the average Chicago family would eat at a single dining. And the sad part of it is this former South Carolinian's indictment of his honfo IHHjple is true. We eat and live like we do not know that millions of our countrymen are existing on half ra tions. It has l>eon said that when half the world t>egtns to starve the people of the s-outh will Just begin to get hungry. ThiH is true, Iiut if we do not begin to conserve our food re sources th^ time is coming when we, too, will feel ^ie pangs of hunger, j We are a wasteful and extravagant jx'ople in tlx4 n*att?r of eating. Not only do we waste money by our ex travagant manner of living, but we decrease our mental and physical ef- j flciency as well. The South can help wonderfully in winning this war, but the question is, will we do it? ? Dll- ' Ion Herald. A till containing ill# following pro vision was Introduced In the oenate last Friday: "It shall Ik? unlawful for any imtmod, tlrm or cor|K>ratlon, or company to lran?|M?rt or convoy, to sell or offer for sale or manufacture essence or tincture commonly known aa Jamaica finger within this Htate.

Those proixwals themselves, including the raising of nearly half a million mow men in the Hrltlsh Islea, throw an informing light njxui the gen era I war situation. The withdrawal of ltUMttia, atVon&ng to .Sir Auckland means that not lcss^VVwin 1,000,000 Teu ton troops will Ih? iuflide available on tin- western front ; and"*. since Frame has rcaclunl t,1io limit of her streugth while Aineriea In stll* unroady, upon (trout Britain devolves the principal burden of supplying the Increase of strength on the Allied Hide needed to meet the Increase of strength on the part of the enemy. We art- ft Mo to get a clearer of w ] i ; 1 1 tills means for Britain by study ing Hit' statistics given by Sir A uek land showing what Britain lias already done* total British enrollment In th?> armed furl's has leached the enor mous limi re of 7,f?00,000. The British army today has more than 4,000,000 men on Its rolls. Of the total enroll ment Knglaml has supplied 4,530,000, Scotland t!-'0,(KH), Wales 280,000 Ireland 170,000, the Dominions and Colonics 000,000. Most of these are volunteers ? men who came to the colors of their own accord and not under any com pulsion of authority. Why the British Government has waited miti) this late day to make the**! figures public Is a mystery. If, as is now evident, the detailed sta tistics could l>e published without tell ing the enemy anything he did not already know, surely their publication months ago would have neon advisable. So splendid a record as this one should never have l>een hidden under a bushel. "Kngland will tight to the last French man and the last Irishman" tfked to be a common taunt of the pro-German "As usual, Kngland Is letting others do the lighting for her," sneered the Teu ton propagandist. IIow completely these would have been refuted at a time when they were doing real harm if the llrltish Government had then seen lit to make known the figures wnich it has now published. As for us in this country. ]>crhaps It is not too venturesome to suggest that we might learn from these figures a certain modesty. Groat Britain, hav ing already contributed 7,1*00,000 men to the war. is now going to contribute nearly fSOO.OOO more because we are not yet able to do our. share and will not l?c ready for months to come. Hearing this In mind, is it not possi ble that those gentlemen among us who seem to think Chut America should "boss" the war are a trille unreason able? This country has done much and will do much more and It would be hard for the Allies ?o get along with out us and esjKHdally hard for them to get along without Woodrow Wilson. Hut it can scarcely be said that we have yet earned the right to assume the supreme direction of the war. What, we as a nation have done so far in defense of liberty is, after all, far short of what others have done. ? News & Courier. Co-Operate With Your Local Taper. A (icorgla editor sends us a sug g<??tlon which we are glad to pass along to our readers. He writes: "Sometime I hope you may pen an editorial urging upon farmers the lm I>orta*?ce of seeing that their commun ity news appears in the local jwper. Throughout this section of Georgia, it is difficult to locate a correspondent who is willing to devote time to the preparation of the community news and there seems to l>e an utter in difference as to cooperating with the local editor in seeing that reports of church gatherings, educational .meet ings, secret order affairs, and other ?FOR? PURE DRUGS CALL ON ? W. Robin Zemp's Drug Store Tclep hone 30. occasion* are published." In every -neighborhood. there ought to tx> nome iiim u or woman willing to undertake thin acrvloe, If given the pro|*r cooperation. To have It, dlgul* flea a community. Moreover, to e*? cite interest 111 any approaching meet ing and bring out a full attendance, II is lin^>rtaut to have It fully ad vert IsihI hi advauce. And later wheu it Ik "written up' In ?ne county pa iww, Itx lessons are nrought afreah to the m!nd4 <45 .reader*. A good local correspondent can also do much to stimulate agricultural and comiuun Ity progrenl. If a farmer ha a bought a pure-bred cow or bull, or i>a lilted hi* houne, or doubted hla corn yield, or put In waterworka or a tractor or a gasoline engine, pr won a prize at the county fair, the fact should al ways be. noted In the county paper. Wherev<ir any forward {moveu*ent is projioMcd in < villi vet loll with the local nehool or church or farmers' club, It should be boosted and adver tlsed by the" local importer. IJow much more significant and Important, how much more stimulating to prog ress and worthy endeavor, Is all such news than a report of the latest so cial function in town, the dresses that were worn, the food that was eaten, and the name of the |>ersons who "presided" at the puuchliowl ! ? The Progressive Farmer. F. K. Kills, an industrious farmer of Cherokee County, ha* Just return ed from a trip to Atlanta, Ua., where he had a very strenous and costly experience. Two crooks, sup]>osed to he real estate dealers, gave him poison oysters and when he came to his senses he had been tleeced out of !? 1 "1 sold a dealer some pork the oth er day," a friend' writes us, "and a few hours later I asked a patron of this dealer what he paid for pork that day and found he was paying exactly twice as much per pound as I got. What Is the remedy?" The surest remedy we know Is that of cooperative shipping of live stock. Our friend butchered and sold only three pign that Cay and <tturully was confined to his local m.TT^et. Put suppose he had been a member of a coojieratlve hog-shipping association with fixed days for shipping in ear load lots. The manager or committee ! in charge wjuild have had competi tive bids from big lirms of high stand [ ing. and all the farmers would have rtveived fair prlees. We must learn j to eoojierate and bear one another's i burdens, or else pay the i>enalty for i our refusal to follow a divine com mand. ? The Progressive Farmer. Negro Had Good Record. William J. Andrews, one of tlie old est anil best known colored citizens of Sumter, died Saturday afternoon after several weeks' illness, vhe funeral ser vices were lield at Mt. Pisgah A. M. 10. Church Monday with a iarge at tendance. He had been a member of this church since its organization anil ''for more than thirty years served as the 8ii|)erintendei)t of the Sunday : school. He was also several times the representative of his Church In the (ieneral conference. During recon struction he represented Sumter coun ty In the House of Representatives for several years. At a time when cor ruption, bril>ery and bribe-taking were the rule and not the exemption among members of the legislature, W. J. Andrews maintained his reputation for honesty and integrity and when the carpeM>ag government was over thrown In 1870 and the Democrats re gained control of the State govern ment Andrews declared that he had nothing to fear from investigation. And when* the investigation was made and the Book of Frauds published, In which was listed the name of every man who had accepted or given bribes or otherwise defrauded the State, the name of W. J. Andrews was not found in it. It was an honorable record of ?which he was justifiably proud, in the circumstances. Itor many years Andrews conducted the only restau rant for white people In Sumter and from this and the fish business of which he also had a monopoly, he accumulated a modest competence. In Industry, honesty and iu his general conduct as a citizen and as man W. J. Andrews was an example to his race. He had the respect and con fidence of the business men of the community and was generally regard ed as a type of the best among Sum ter's colored citizenship. ? Sumter Item.

Engineer Has Plan to Stop Flood* on Miseitsippi River. Would Provld* ?hort.r Outlet to Boo by Uiln^Ateiitfilayi to Carry 8llt-B?arin(j> WaUr. Tfie levoo aystem on the Mississippi rtver from Cairo to the Gulf of Mexico was Intended to protect the cultivated lands adjacent to the rtver. This sys tem haa resulted In building up the bed of the river from year to year by rea son of the fact that all of the trlbu? tary streams running Into the Missis sippi river have greater velocity, and consequently sediment brought into the main river, whose current Is slower, is deposited In the river between Cairo and the Gulf. This la the main cause of the flood line going higher each year with a given rainfall* Now, the most practical and cheapest remedy for this Is to make a shorter outlet to the sea for this vast volume of silt-bearing water, and thin outlet Iti via the Atchafalaya river, the source of which Is near the mouth of the lied river, where It empties into the Mississippi, writes M. P. Jefferdo In Popular Mechanics Magaslne. The Atchafalaya river runs straight to the tidewater of the Gulf, a distance of about 100 miles, whereas, via the Mis sissippi river the distance from the mouth of the Red river to the Gulf Is 200 miles. The fall of the Mississippi \ river from the mouth of the Red river j to the Gulf Is about one-tenth of a j foot per mile; of the Atchafalaya, about threertenths of a foot to the mile. i The Increase in velocity from the j mouth ?f the Red river to the Gulf via j tho Atchafalaya would probably lower the grade line of high water to two- I tenuis of a foot per mile, which would reduce tho high-water line for that j point (mouth of Red river), 20 feet or i more. This reduction In high-water mark would probably extend as far north as Memphis, or even Cairo ; thus it can be seen that the levee as now j built from Memphis to the Gulf would be of ample height and strength to give safety to tho adjacent country for j probably 100 years or more. $ Would this improvement leave New , Orleans an Inland city? No. For tho j slowing down of the velocity"1 of the water In the Mississippi from tho mouth of the Red river to the Gulf via the old channels would result in all the sediment being carried to sea via the Atchafalaya, lonvlng the old chan nel a clear-water channel, which could be maintained at all times by a little dredging such as Is necessary now at the Jetties. The railroads entering New Orleans could then bridge the Mississippi river there and would profit in the long run by ovlatlng the flood ing of their tracks. The Jetties at the mouth of the Mis sissippi could b? dredged to a depth of 40 to 50 feet and remain so. for no sedi ment would be going out that way to fill theui up. The high-water line at New Orleans would hardly exceed ten feet above low water. The low-wnter line at New Orleans being .only one foot above sea level, with a depth of 60 to CO feet of water, Is can bo seen that not only would New Orleans be secure from floods In the future, but that the largest vessels In the world could enter Its harbor. ; The Mississippi river, from the Jet ties to the mouth of the Red river, v.ould be a canal, navigable at all times, with a little dredging, perhaps, between Baton Rouge and the Red river, and all that rich country on . either aide of the river from the mouth of the Red river to the Gnlf would be absolutely secure from floods. 8ome Cow! v "She's an awfly good cow. Our chil dren think the world of her. You'll like her immensely." "And how much milk does she give?" I "Don't know exactly, but she's a ! nice cow ? first class." "Well, you most hare some Idea does she give a gallon at a milking?" "Never kept very mnch track." "But you have a rough notion about It Does she give as much as half a gallon a day?" "Couldn't say definitely. 8ha's an awTly good, kind old cow, though. If aht's got any milk shell give tt to you." ? Exchange. Paddy Was Sore. "Twas somewhere In France, and the trenches looked like some river not on the map. Paddy was on guard In the communication trenches and was up to his chest In water.

Some of the French sol dler^pol Ice men, veterans of the Marne, of the Yser and of Verdun, have -made their appearance In the streets of Paris, aft ! er having done their share at making war, and they are showing themselves quite capable of doing their bit In th? keeping of the peace, says a Paris cor I respondent.

Would you mix your cattle-feed with cotton? YOU know that such a combination would be carried through the digestive tract ^tfeout giving the xnilk ' producing and fat-prodding food a chance to be assimilated.

It forms a pad or cushion-like covering around the concentrates that prevents the digestive juices from extracting the foil amount of ptotein. ? - HULLS UNTLKII contain no lint to clog or flux the digestive tract.
