3Pf)ePamtjerg3|eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Thursday, March 1, 1917. It is almost clear that it will not be possible for the United States to prevent being embroiled in the war. The breaking point has almost been reached, and announcement of a state of war between the United States and Germany may be expected at any time. The United States government has done everything possible. it appears to us, to keep out of this war; in fact, this country has suffered indignities throughout this struggle that our forefathers would have long ago resented more substantially than by notes of protest. Very few persons in this country want war, but if it is forced upon us. we have no alternative than to fight to a finish; and we hope that this finish will be both complete and early. In the eagerness of the South Carolina prohibition advocates to secure State legislation,* it appears that li* quor has been legislated into the State, instead of out of it, by the quart-a-month measure. In the opinion of some of the leading prohibitionists the clause of the South Carolina act providing that a quart a month may be secured on affidavit that it is to be used for medicinal purposes will cause the Reed amendment to the postal appropriation bill to be inoperative in this State. The section of the Reed amendment referring to this phase of the liquor matter is as follows: Whosoever shall order, purchase, or cause intoxicating liquors to be transported in interstate commerce, except for scientific, sacramental, niar.Vionio!il nnrnnsps. I UlCUI^lIiai, Ul UIWUUUIVU* t J/V.. r?_.? into any State or territory the laws of which State or territory prohibit the manufacture or sale therein of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes, shall be punished by a fine of not more than 51,000, or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both, and for any subsequent offense shall be imprisoned not more than one year. While no authoritative ruling has been made as yet, it would seem that the Reed amendment would allow liquor for medicinal purposes where it is allowed by the State. We trust that this construction will not be put upon the Reed amendment, however. If no legislation had been passed by j the recent legislature, the, State would have been really bone dry, and the matter would not have been tangled with State politics. Dr. V ance Brabham Made Director. I Orangeburg, Feb. 23.?Dr. Vance W. Brabham, of this city, has been appointed director of rural sanitation for Orangeburg county by the State board of health and will take up the work begun by Dr. F. M. Routh, of the State board. Dr. Brabham will have an office in the quar ters occupied by the chamber of commerce and county demonstration agents, which will place him within easy reach of all people desiring his services or advice. There are two assistants already working in the county and there will probably be more in the near future. Dr. Brabham has made several health talks at various points in the -county recently. In March there will be a special campaign against flies and shortly thereafter one against malaria. Dr. Brabham is known as a very capable physician and it is expected that he will accomplish great things in his new field of work. Arrested Under New Law. Chester, Feb. 24.?M. Fixman, representing the Crystal Optical company, of Birmingham, Ala., was arrested here today and fined $35 un l"" + ~ 1? ? nrnliihitc an vonO UC1 111C la V> Ullivu ^IVUIWIIO v**v from carrying on the business of optometry or optician without having a certificate. This act was passed Feb, ruary 13, becoming effective immediately upon being signed by the governor and was probably invoked for the first time today. X. Springer, a young man accompanying Mr. Fixman and acting as assistant, was dismissed. Leaving Adelaide Behind. A young man who had recently returned from the Austrian colonies to wed the girl of his heart was reproached the other day by his beloved for.his fickleness. iMinn- mil COl' vflll lr?VA 111A YAI'Y x x\uv n vu wwj ^ w? *v v v v - ? much," she exclaimed, "but I daresay you said just the same thing to the other girl whom you have treated so heartlessly?poor thing!" "What other girl?" gasped the astonished lover, who was conscious of an unwearing fidelity to the fair being whom he had ever loved. "Why, the girl in Australia," answered the innocent. "I overheard them say the other day that you left Adelaide to come to me." And it took some time and a large map to convince her that he was not a "gay Lothario."?London Tit-Bits.

All who expect to enter any 01 these contests will report at Prof Allen's office where they will registei and he directed to the rooms in which their contests are to he held Thirty minutes actual working time will be allowed for each mental contest. I fecial nation and Recitation Contests, Each school which expects to enter these contests will please send the names of the pupils who are to speak along with the name of the declamation or recitation to be used, to Prof j E. P. Allen. Bamberg, S. C.. not later i than five days before the contest. Athletic Contests. Each school will be allowed two entries in eac-b athletic contest, However. 110 one pupil may enter more than two contests. Also, nc pupil may enter the same event in which he won first place last year. Pupils entering athletic events will register at Prof. Allen's office the same as those entering the mental contests. In the awarding of the trophy cup each first place will count five points, each second place, three points, and each third place one point. Places in the mental, declamation, and recitation contests will count the same as in the athletic events. Any school may make any exliibit it wishes, but this will not be awarded prizes, neither will it be credited with any points. It is suggested that each school have its pupils bring lunch the same as if going to school so that the children may not become scattered and be out of the way after dinner. We, the members of the programme committee, most earnestly request that every school in the county take part in the oratorical and field day contests. We also ask that each teacher see that his pupils are on hand at the proper time and place so that the programme may be carried out in an orderly manner and without unnecessary delay. Let every school give its boys and girls a chance to see what others are doing. According to a report on the Cranbrook forest district, British Columbia, it is estimated that the timber cut for 1916 will be from 150,000,000 to 160,000,000 feet. In 1913, which is the year* in which the previous largest cut was made, it amounted to 148,000,000 feetv O??

NONE I learn the following from a letter from the.President of the Anderson Motor Company, Mr. J. G. Anderson: '] -i 1. The Company succeeds to the plants, good-will assets and : business organization of the Rock Hill Buggy Co., of Rock Hill, S. C., which has successfully manufactured and sold horse-drawn vehicles throughout the South for over 25 years, and which has Dut the "Anderson" Car on the market during the last two years. 4 selling it to many old customers in the South. Agencies have recently been established in New York, Pittsburg, Pa.; York, Pa.1; Texas, Florida and other States. The present plant is well equip: ped for the manufacture of bodies, and other parts, and for doing the painting, making the tops, upholstering, etc., etc. 2. The present earnings of the Company are more than sufficient to pay interest on the preferred stock. 3. Only about $40,000 to $50,000 of the proceeds to be derived from the sale of this preferred stock will be used for additions and improvements to plant; the balance is to be exclusively used for commercial capital. 4. The Company begins business free of all indebtedness. 5. During the year 1917, it is calculated the Company will manufacture not less than 1,200 cars, a great portion of the materials for which have already been contracted for, and on which the estimated profit is about $150,000, or almost four times the interest on the preferred stock. The Company expects to manufacture 3,000 cars in 1918, and in 1920, not l.ess than>6,000 to 6>fr00 cars, the profit's on which should" amount to :$3oOfO'flfo "to ' * $500,000 or at the rate of 50 to 75 per cent, on the Common Stock, after paying 7 per cent, on the Preferred Stock. \ 6. The Company has in hand contracts and orders for three times its productive capacity. 7. The Anderson Motor Company is a Southern organization, managed by Southern men, and financed with Southern capital. The management is therefore desirous of distributing the .stock in the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana nd Tennessee. S. The cost of labor, and the freight on a large part of the raw material used in construction, is less than that paid out by other automobile companies. 9. The best and most expert manufacturers of automobiles obtainable, are in charge of each department. 10. Automobile companies have been uniformly profitable ^ where honestly managed. In one instance, tho profit from $100 , invested, has amounted to $33,000. 11. The Anderson Motor Company is incorporated under the Laws of South Carolina, and all legal matters have been passed uponvbv Messrs. Wilson & Wilson, of Rock Hill, and Judge Ira B. Jones,,Ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, copies of whose opinions will be mailed on request. 1 Z. rne uireciors 01 tne Anaerson .woior tomyauy are: DIRECTORS: ' ' ' T. L.
