Contracts for advertising not subject to cancella tion after first insertion. Communications.—We are always glad to publish news letters or those pertaining to matters of public inter act. We require the name and ad dress of the writer in every case, not for publication but for our own pro tection. No article which is defama tory or offensively personal can find place in our columns at any price, and we are not responsible for the opinions expressed in any communication. The requests that we conserve both wool' and leather are puisling to the feminine half of the population. Should skirts be shorter and shoes higher? Or should shoes be shorter and skirta longer? What would the people who are concerned with morals say if the shoes were lower and shirta shorter? “Over the top” twice over and eight per cent addition to spare is Barnwell County’s record in the Third Liberty Lon. And that’s pretty good evi dence that the county as a whole has some interest in what kind of an Amer ica this is when the present genera tions are dead and gone. Considering the assiduity and unani mity and strenuosity with which the Colonel 4s sawing wood, all fear of a fuel famine next winter should be dis sipated.

Chemistry is also a line in which we have heretofore relied al most wholly on (Germany, this from the fact that American chemists were not willing to undergo the rigorous study and research necessary to at tain high standing in that line. But this too is fast being changed, and in a very short time, if not already, American chemists will be fully the equals of any in the world. In fact, we are just now’ waking up to the fact that there" are a number of lines of industry, w’herein we have heretofore been content to rely upon other peoples, that, if we are to man- tain our position among the nations, we must master and conduct for our selves. We have been too deeply ab sorbed in- what we termed the big things of life, and many smaller mat ters that, nevertheless, play an im portant part in the economy of life, have been neglected. If the war, viewed purely from an industrial or commercial standpoint, shall have caused us to stop and gath er up the loose ends of industry, it will at least not have been all bad. “I don’t care what kind of an Amer ica it is when I am dead and gone.”— Excerpt from speech of Cole L.
