(Continued from page 10, column 3) trouble to look up anyone until there is a formal recognition of some one of the warring factions. ; Peru and Venezuela have provisional presidents. Provisional presidents constitute a disease quite common to South American republics. Almost every one of them have had a provisional government at one time or another. In Peru the provisional executive is another general?Gen. Oscar R. Benuvides. In Venezuela the executive is not a general, but Dr. V. Marqjuez Bustillos. Dr. Bustillos is rated very high as an official and has given a good administration to a country that has not had bad administrations in the past. He reports that the condition of the country with regard to commercial activities is good and that international rela tions "have Deen maintained aceoruing to the long tradition and fine record of Venezuela." The Dominican, republic has as its head Juan Isidro Jiminez. President Jiminez submitted a message recently reviewing the events of his administration and stated that due to the policy the government under his direction had pursued the foreign commerce reached the largest total in the, history of the Dominican republic. The terms of the president vary in all the countries to the south. They seemed to have followed the American constitution very faithfully in .every respect but the term of the president and the religious qualifications. There is a belief current that the religious qualifications will be dropped as time goes on, and total religious freedom will come into its own in politics as well as in civil life. The smaller republics like Honduras, El Salvador, Paraguay and Uruguay, not to forget the republic of Panama, are all torn with revolutions as regular as clockwork. None know in the morning who is going to seize the executive power and declare himself president by night. Present advi'-es give as the president of Honduras Dr. Don Francisco Bertrand. In Panama the president is Dr. Belisario Porras. The Panama government is shaky and is liable to revolution at any time. Paraguay and Uruguay are what might with felicity of phrase be called the twin States. There is more likeness than is even apparent in their names, for both end in guay. days the Bambe 5, Hats, Mens anc t Suits, Skirts, W ^lllf C*9CAC at P k/UAI> * UST GO AT A BIG CUT II E!

Abbeville, Nov. 5.?Frank Doan, j foreman of the county chaingang j I guard, was killed and J. L. Schroe-j ! der, a mechanic at the Seaboard j shops, was considerably bruised when | the automobile in which they were,1 I I ! riding turned over last night about! i 10:30 o'clock, two miles from Abbe! ville. Schroeder was driving the car and had just passed a buggy on a very ; i rough stretch of road, when hej j caught up with another buggy which ; he did not see until almost on it. In ; : turning out to pass the back wheels skidded causing the car to turn a j complete somir ersault sidewise, righting itself again, pointing in the di-; rection from which it came. Both 1 men were thrown out. Doan's head struck a rock crushing the back of his skull from which he died, three hours later. Another car came along about two minutes after the accident and rushed both men to where they were ^ivpn mpdiral attention. Schroeder's ! bruises are not serious. Doan was 40 : years old. He came to Abbeville twenty-three years ago from Indiana, where he has a mother and a sister. He had been a chaingang guard for eight years. About a month ago he was promoted to foreman. The funeral arrangements have not been announced. The limit of the carrying power of thunder is about 15 miles. In Uruguay the president is Dr. Fe- j liciano Vlera, while in Paraguay the! executive is Eduardo Schaerer. In; Salvador the president is Senor Don j Carlos Melendez. In Guatemala Manuel Estrada Ca-j brera is president and will serve for a term of six years. He was recently j elected and is a champion of trade with the United States. Tn Xicara-, gua the executive has a name that is like one famous in Mexican history, that of the dictator Diaz. The Nica-! raguan president's full name is Don Adolfo Diaz. But President Diaz is not a dictator and from indications has no intention of becoming one. This covers the list of South AmerI ican countries and the chosen heads of the nations. If the desired friend-, ship between the great nation to the north and the nations to the south is to be really fruitful, there can be but one way of attaining this end and that is through real knowledge of each other. i i rg Dry Goods Si I Boy's Suits and Paists, Dresses, C rices that will o] i PRICE " te line of Men's and Boy; s of Men's, Ladies', Boys rn brands as Crosset and g Shoes and Brown's Shoi t, but come now.

The popular notion of the average consumer that the grocer is to be blamed for the advancing cost of food products would be modified if the average consumer could realize how seriously grocers are worried nowadays by the remarkable advance' in prices, says the New York Journal j of Commerce. Instead of spelling a bit of good fortune for them, it is a cause of no little apprehension, not only among retailers but also among! jobbers. In trade circles, this is evidenced' by unmistakable signs of caution and uncertainty, both in buying and in making contracts for future deliver- i ies. That everything the grocer sells is on an inflated basis of price is un- i questiored and unquestionable and no one cares to be caught with a; cent's worth more than is absolutely j necessary to cover actual needs. Job- j bers are commonly reporting a much ! higher percentage of small orders?! even down to split cases?than ever1 before, and while it makes a lot more work to roll up a given volume of business on such a basis, it is recog nized as more or less an assurance of stability. Jobbers are sufficiently, short of goods to make them wary about liberal deliveries, and they are none too willing, for credit reasons,, for any retailer to load up on goods bought at prevailing rates. On the face of things a retailer) might feel happy in the prevalence) of high prices, but it spells danger for him all along the line. For in-; stance, it is probable that the bulk | of the grocer's stock is worth 20 to!; 40 per cent, more than a year ago; i ergo, to keep a full line for the con- ; venience of his patrons, he must lock ', up in it that much more money, i Locked-up money costs something in interest and, with a given margin of j profit, the percentage on total sales1 shrinks deplorably. Then again, if - - anytnmg snouia inauce a reaction) from present levels, it would find re-; tailers loaded with goods on which there would be loss the minute re- , cession commenced. Even as it is, many a grocer has not yet advanced prices in keeping with his own increased costs and that in itself is a serious menace to his standing. Consumers Curtail. ' But grocers in various parts of the country are finding a general disposition to curtail manifested by con-i sumers.

S sing them during this big NSON THE FRONT C fOVEMBEl T GoC chases the order of the day, but it has within a fortnight or so been noted that consumers are beginning to count cost in making selection of grades, and ' even commodities, accordingly? The cheaper cuts of meat are in increased demand; the more wholesome but less delicate and expensive staples in other lines are coming into use; and there is substitution of cheap foods for expensive ones reported. This, in turn, is more or less welcome to the retailer because he like the jobber, prefers caution to badly stretched credit on the part of his customer. And consumers on the whole are admittedly being: strained materially to make good their absolutely necessary purchases, thereby impairing their desirability. as debtors. Restaurants and hotels are all j manifesting the same disposition to-! ward curtailment; some of them ex-; ercising such ingenuity as to sur-i prise one \tfho delves into their; methods and in many cases without, making the diner realize that he is ; the victim of economy. More and more restaurants and hotels are mak-. ing extra charges for bread and but- i ter and such side lines of the feast. Smaller servings always being dependable sources of economy. With food costs increased by elements which are not susceptible to scolding or accusation of soaking the consumer, it is evident that if the high cost of living is to be met, the con-, sumer must do it for himself. It is said that Germany, under the stress of embargoes and short crops,' is developing many ingenious and( cheap food products, in some casesusing ingredients which are entirely new, but more commonly finding attractive ways for using those which j in time of plenty have been frowned 1 upon. It may be that when the war; is over Germany's example in this interesting evolution willffind welcome in America, especially if America is! to continue her task of feeding the whole world. Exit "Ten-Cent" Packages. One thing noticeable in the food trades is the rapid retirement from tne grocers sneives ot tne ten-cent, seller." This has happened not only in staple goods, but specialties are advancing at such a pace as to suggest first the "two-for-a-quarter" and 1 later the "fifteen-cent seller." Within the past three months the ten-cent specialty has been growing materially less common, though some manufacturers have maintained the priceunit by curtailing the contents of the package.
