f According to announcement by the
war department ^Tuesday, the thirtieth
division will sail from France on
Monday, March 10th. It was not
stated at what port the division will
land on arrival in America.

repealed by congress, and the clocks
will, therefore, be run up one hour

new time will last until the V "t
Sunday in September, when they will

The Newberry Observer informs
< us that the "longest editorial" was
recently published in an up-country
paper on the subject of the "Proper
Way." We do not ask the ObseTver
L,i to tell us what the proper way is, for
we are quite certain that the Observ-'
' er editor did not read it. Neither
did we.

The next session of congress will
he under Republican control. We
consider that it has been very fortunate
that a Democratic house and
senate have been in control during
the past four years to back the president
in his war problems. The attitude
of many of the Republicans
throughout has been one of criticism
toward the administration, and we
can but imagine the result if thej
had controlled congress (Turing the
? i ? iu
past critical momus.
The legislature adjourned earlj
Sunday morning, after being in ses
sion considerably more than th<
usual forty days. All good road:
legislation of a State-wide natur<
was side-tracked. While we are no
fully posted on the legislation tha
was proposed at this session, i

lardly appears that the keynote of!
he road situation has yet been I
struck. Permanent road improve* I
nent affords a baffling problem, and j
will doubtless soon be worked out,
is the necessity for better roads be- j
somes greater. We. have an idea!
that we shall never have a system of i
permanent roads until the national!
government builds them, and while j
it would require a staggering amount!
of money to build permanent roads j
all over the country, yet it would not |
hurt the nation to do it. The gov- j
ernment has spent twenty-five billion
dollars to defeat Germany and
the country has not been hurt to do
it. We have no. idea as to the cost
of permanent roads all over the
United States, but we believe that |
it would be safe to say that a similar!
amount would macadamize every!
public road and neighborhood road
throughout the country.
If the selvation of the cotton crop
as a money maker is dependent this
year upon reduction of acreage, and
those who ought to know tell us that
it is, not a single farmer should re*

Cotton is distinctively a Southern
crop, and it is up to the farmers to
protect it. No other section of the
world can raise cotton profitably. It
is a noticeable fact that the West
protects its wheat,. while other
secions of the country protect their
leading products, and incidentally
they fix prices. The South does not
fix the price of cotton. It is fixed by
men who probably never saw a stalk
of-cotton in their lives. This is not
right, and ought not to be tolerated.
The farmers have the power and the
means of fixing cotton prices, and il
they do not use this power no one is
to blame hut the farmers. Our observation
has been that in matters
such as acreage reduction too manj
of the farmers depend on the othei
fellow to do the reducing. This is j
very selfish attitude, and has alwayi
contributed to the defeat of organiza
i tion of the cotton growing interests
i It is to be hoped that the presen
s; movement will have the solid backin;
r of every cotton planter, big and lit
; tie, for only in this way can tli
