Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY, MARCH 27TH, 1919. Syjfc Getting Apprehen8ive. if 'm Governor Allen, of Kansas, iS not in sympathy with the effort of South ern cotton growers to make a living profit oft their cotton, characterizing the acreage reduction movement as “trading upon the misery of the world.” The governor calls atten tion to the fact that Kansas farmers are doing everything in their power to increase the yield of wheat, but neglects to mention the fact that the United States Government is to pay them a billion dollars more than the market price thereof, this being the difference between the present mar ket price and that fixed by the Gov ernment last Fall in order to encour age a big production. With the same incentive, the cotton farmer would do everything in his power to increase the yield of the fleecy staple. That the movement is creating ap prehension among the spinners and others of the North is evidenced by the amount of spaca devoted to it in the Northern papers. Under the cap tion, “The South on a Cotton Strike,” The Literary Digest devoted more than a p-'gf of its valuable space to a review of editorial opinion. The con sensus of oninion outside of the South is that the Southern farmer is acting nn a most selfish roa.iner in reducing his acreage in order to make a fair profit, the fact that the present large eurplus ia what ia keeping the price down being overlooked.

There it shoived such performance and endui'ance as immediately placed it in the front as the greatest stock car that had ever attempted such feats. But present Hudson leadership does not rest upon what •* it has done in establishing the best time for one hour, or for one hundred miles, or for its twenty-four hour perfor mance, or for having made tha best time in the greatest • hill climb that was ever held, when it climbed to the top o.f Pike’s Peak. The Super-Six is not distinguished be cause of any one not^le performance, although it holds more such records than any other car. The greatest, proof of Hudson leadership is shown by the way in which 60,000 Super-Six owners are satisfied with their cars. ^ — x • £*■£$ Acknowledged by all Rivals Hudson body designs too are the standard of motordom. EVeryone in touch with motor car development knows how the Sedan, the Touring Limousine, the Speedster, the Cabriolet, the Limousine and the Town Car, models that first appeared on the Super-Six chassis, have served as patterns for other Cars. Hudson owners always get the advance models. A & & j • - Full production of Hudsons will not be reached before June. Until then buyers of open models will have to sup ply their wants from the limited-stocks of those few deal ers who may have such cars. * In almost every locality the Hudson Super-Six is not only the largest in number among fine cars, it is regarded , Aft. tbe fine our. In many sections it is the only fine car ,to be found. • The scarcity of Hudsons promises Xo be greater this year than ever. Hagood-Jennings Auto Co. Main Street, Barnwell, S. C.
