THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1916.
The People has heard several com
plaints of late to the effect that, while
the price of bacon has advanced, there
is comparatively little market for the
droves of hotfs that have been raised
in Barnwell County. . The farmers
took a step in the ripht direction when
they declared their emancipation from
the all-cotton plan, but unless they
are encouraped to continue it is only
a question of a very short time be
fore they will be compelled to return
to cotton farming exclusively.
If it is profitable, to maintain great
packing house 3 -' n the West, why
wouldn’t a centrally situated enter
prise of that kind pay good dividends?
Thousands of hogs have been raised
in South Carolina in the past several
months and a packing house in this
State would provide a ready market
for them. It would also mean lower
prices to the consumer, as a consider
able saving on transportation charges
would be effected.
The People hopes that some action
will be taken on this suggestion.
The writer has been asked a num
ber of times of. late for his opinion
as to who will be the successful
candidate in the race for Governor.
Frankly, we dont know. There is no
doubt but that the entrance of Solici
tor Cooper has complicated mattera
and there is no denying the fart that
ha has a strong following in the State,
•lie will draw many supporters from
the ranks of both Bleasites and anti-
Bleasites. Our opinion is that either
Cooper or Manning will be elected,
with the chances in favor of the latter,
as it has been an immemorial custom
to give a Governor a second term, if
Mr. Cooper is defeated this year h«
will be forever out of the running as
a factor in State politice.

of the leading buaineaa men
of lark Hill have organised a 1100-

the problem caused by the withdrawal
of foreign cam panic* from Una State.
Only local riaka will be written. Sim
ilar organisations in every county
in the Slate would no doubt bring the
recalcitrant companies to time. It is
absurd to allow them to make a sov
ereign ■tate buckle to their wishes.
If necessary. South Carolina should
organise an insurance department and
write the risks for the people of the
State. Th#. we believe, is now being
done in one of the Western States.
Mr. E. B. McSweeney. editor of thp
Hampton Guardian, and a number of
business men of Beaufort have per
fected plans for publishing “The
Beaufort Leader.” The paper will lie
edited in Beaufort and printed in the
Guardipn office at Hampton About
The People has accepted the chal
lenge of an esteemed subscriber to
publish an article from The Iconoc
last. Our correspondent seems to
think that our “brand of neutrality"
docs not permit us to publish any
thing in favor of “the other side.”
For fua benefit and all other German
sympathizers we wifi say that we are
not anti-German, but, as Bob Gon
zales has aptly phrased it, we ARK
anti-Hohenzollern and anti-Hapsburg
—and anti-anything else that threat
ens the peace of the United Sates of
America.
The latest name for the univeraal

three weeks ago the first issue of The
Hampton County Herald made its ap
pearance. The Herald is edited in
Hampton and printed in the office of
The Beaufort Gazette. Unless all
signs fail, there is to be a bi-county
newspaper -light. * •
We tyould suggest to the farmers
who have more home-cured meat than
they can use themselves that they in
sert a small advertisement in their
home paper. There is always a de
mand among town people for "coun
try hams,” etc., and it would be pos
sible for an enterprising farmer 'to
work up a paying busyiess at -very
little cost;
—o—
The weekly newspaper is certainly
at a disadvantage. For instance, we
wrote a short article' this week about
a packing house in this State and be
fore the slugs were cold Orangeburg
announced that the enterprise will be
located in that city.
Much political capital is being made
out of the fact that Governor Man
ning sighed the Laney-Odcm bill.
The act was passed by the representa
tives of the people. Why not put at
least a part of .the blame on them?
There is an automoblie on the mark
et that uses a magnet for transmitting
power to the rear wheels. Autos are
magnetic enough already to attract
buyers without making them .more so.
Such terms as “with the American
Army,” “via wireless to Columbus, N.
M.,” “name deleted by censor.” etc.,
give dispatches from Mexico the savor
of real war news.
The manner in which some men look
