On account of the attitude of the
Republicans in the closing days of
congress, no legislation was passed
providing for the regular army. As
a consequence the war department
announces that it is necessary to detain
about 200,000 drafted men in
service until congress does make such
provision. If this is the beginning of
Republican control of congress, such
control cannot be disposed of too
soon.
According to a recent report, 57
American army Y. M. C. A. workers
have sacrificed their lives in Europe.
About twenty of these were killed by
shell fire or other battle causes, the
others dying from disease. While
we think that there are some phases
of the Y. M. C. A. work that has not
been entirely above criticism, it cant
not be said that the workers shirked
any duty or evaded any danger in
ministering to the soldiers in Europe.
n ie>
The total casualties, according to
a revised report just issued, are 240,197.
Some of the American divisions
carried enormous casualties; for instance,
the second (regular) division
suffered 24,429 casualties; the
first, (regular) division, 23,974, ana
* v the third (regular) division, 16,356.
The divisions in which South Carolinians
were employed, suffered
losses as follows: Thirtieth, 6,893;
Ninety-second (colored), 1,399;
Eighty-first, 1,062.
A very significant election' for con^
gressman was held in the twenty-second
Pennsylvania congressional district
recently, in which John. W
Wilson, Democrat, wras elected. It
is interesting to note that this is the
first time in fifty years a Democrat
has been elected in this district. In
t the three previous elections, Republicans
were elected by the following
majorities: 1,000, 3,000, 7,000. It
will be noted that each election resulted
in a larger Republican vote
than the preceding one. But in the
. last election Wilson was elected by a
majority*of 473 votes. It is further
interesting to note the platform of
the successful candidate, Wilson.
He openly championed the cause of
the League of Nations as favored by
President Wilson. His opponent did
not champion the League, but simply
said, when pressed for an opinion,
' that he would follow the dictates of
his party, whatever they -were. It
would, of course, be useless to say
1 x that Mr. Wilson's election was due
to his championship of the League of
Nations, for we all know well enough
that personality counts sometimes
more than platforms; but it is interesting
from the standpoint of Republicans
changing over to Democrats in
in a rock-ribbed Republican district.
i It perhaps req,uires something more
than personality to cause that.

pressed on the committee, who will
visit the planters again.
Fish Pond?Everybody is in favor
of the reduction. No one will
plant more than ten acres to the
plow. These people live at home
and plant very little cotton. The
committeman told of one farmer
who runs nine plows and plants only
eight acres to the nine plows. Great
quantities of foodstuffs produced
here. Majority now plant six acres
or less per plow. The committee
were asked to visit the farmers
again and induce them to sign the
pledge, either for one-third reduc'*?

Brier Creek?Farmers are enthusiastic
over the plan, but are inclined
to the belief that the "big fish"
are the ones who ought to do most
pf the cutting. However, no one
has refused to sign up.
Midway?Not all of the farmers
have signed. Many of them want a
limit of ten acres to the plow fixed
for all planters. About the same
amount of fertilizer will be used.
Lees?This committee .worked with
the Denmark committee, and practically
every farmer has signed the
pledge.

ed that the "big farmers" are in I

The matter of the renter who has |
to pay his rent in cotton was also |
discussed. Some of the committees g
had run up against this proposition. |
When a farmer has to pay his land- g
lord so many bales of cotton rent, |
what is he to do about cutting his |
acreage? It was the general opin- S

lords should be visited by the com- g
