Abbeville Press and Banner. Five years ago when the present owners took charge of this paper we made a year's contract for print paper?the kind of paper used in th< publication of the paper?at two and one-half cents per pound. Last yeel we bought the same paper It thirteen cents per pound. This statement will have more information for the readers of thi paper if we inforjn them that on* thousand sheets of paper weigh one hundred pounds, or that ten papers 1 weight one pound. The readers oi 3 the paper receive one hundred and fifty-six papers each year (the Press and Banner is a tri-weekly), wjiich t means about sixteen pounds of paper 3 each year. If we take into consid? eration the matter of waste we send something more than this in weight. . Sixteen pounds of paper at ten cents per pound amounts to one dollar and sixty cents. We get from subscribers two dollars per year. We have then a margin of fprty cents between the cost of the paper and the subscription price. On this, so far as subscribers are concerned, we must pay nnv wnrlrinfr fnrno nnr rnnf and other charges. It is needless to say that the thing can't be done. We can make ends meet only because of the advertisements which ' we carry. And it must be evident when we say that the payroll of the paper is around six hundred dollars per month, that a /considerable amount must come in from advertisements. And it amounts to this, that the advertisers are paying in large part for the paper which we print and which you read. But they get value receive?. The advertisements would not amount to anything, if there were no subscribers to read the papers, and, of couse, to read the advertisements themselves. But fdt the fact that we owe it to our advertisers. But the two combined help to make ends meet?or sometimes, we should say, nearly so. The consequence of what we have had to say is' that a great many newspapers are finding it impossible to keep going. Labor is high and keeps getting higher, and scarce too. "They have quit making printers", "one well known newspaper man says, and certainlv there are few nrinters who want to work in a country shop. The cost of paper, taken in connection with the price of labor, makes the load too heavy in many places, and it is getting heavy in others. A large number of weekly and semi-weekly papers have already given up the fight. Numbers of the daily papers are consolidating, and others must do ' so or there will be a worse' end to t many of them. This is what the print paper shtfrtage means to us, and to others.

Croft Williams,> has completed its analysis of the crime statistics of South Carolina for the quarter ending March 31. . These statistics are only approximate, f as they are. based upon the jail com, mitments. However in so large a num; ber of commitment there is a clear s indication as to the character and I amount of crime in the State. The i board has received to dote reports i from all the counties, with the exception of Anderson, Calhoun, Grenville, Marion, Oconee, Pickens and Richland * 84 per cent.- of the counties, therefore, ! reported over against 81 per cent, of ) the preceding quarter. \ . The analysis of crime givea reas! suring results. The report of the I preceding quarter was extremely disi heartening. There was no special i reason apparent for the steady ad' vance of crime, so it was feared that there were resident anti-social 1 forces that were here to operate with , deadly vigor until they could be elimi inated by the slow process od educati ing the coming generation. But the quarter ending March 31 showed a remarkable decrease in all crime. For the first time riince the board has kept statistics on the causes of commitment the number "tof homicides has gone down. During the quarter ending December .31 there were 94 homicides in the last quarter there were only 54. It is still pathetic for us to use the word only before the number of 5^ persons killed in three months in a peaceful State that boasts itself as free form the agitations and turmoils that infect other parts of the world. Larceny depreciated from 304 to 910, burglary from 96 to 60. forgery from 32 to 19, assaults from 139 to 92, violation of the prohibition law from 245 to 137. In all there were 1,097 commitments, against 1,765 of the preceding quarter. Jail population at-the end of the quarter, was the smallest that it has been since March 31, 1915. Perhaps it represents a smaller percentage of incarcerations to"the population since the civil war. If this kind of thing keeps' up long jailers will have to seek other fields of employment. As they are a good set of men, South Carolina has many uOuio of opportunity swung wide open for them. The diagnosis of cause of crime is difficult. Before prohibition came in every advance was attributed to intoxicants; then tho country went dry and South Carolina's crime statistics mounted up like a thermometer on a dry August day. Prohibition ?fcimot be charged with ihis < sconcerting fact, for no one would be so bold as to claim that intoxicants are creators of virtue and that the barroom or dispensary were engines of uplift. DoubtlesB the real cause of the advance of crime was the reaction from the war, which reaction is slowly spending its force. From other parts of the country .reports show that crime and poverty are rapidly deminishing. With the funeral prosperity of our county, with national and.State affairs in a bettej condition than in any other part of the world, and with a bright outlook for fuither progress in both physical and spiritual achievements, there is no reason why both crime and poverty and all other attending woes could not be banished from among us.

Chase a potato's history fronvthe hour it lands upon your dinner plate, then worth nearly three times its weight in wheat, back to the day it came from Farmer Corntassel's field and you will find this to be tnie. The biggest profit on that potato was made by the man who produced it and not by the great railroad that hauled it 200 miles by the little store around the comer, to which you paid 40 cents for a quarter of a peck. The farmer who raised the potato and the rairoad which carried it to you earned only a modest profit? neither of them over 8 or 10 per cent. The comer grocer got less than 50 per cent on the price he paid the whnlpsAl??r That's a fair sample of the stuff that misleads the public. Potatoes have been selling on the ground in Florida, the great potato center, for several weeks to wholesale buyers at fronf $10 to$20 a barrel according to grade, or, say, from $3 to $4 a bushel to $6 to$7 a bushel. With four pecks to a bushel, these potatoes have been bringing the Florida grower about $1 to $1.60 a peck, and on top of this the wholesale buyers pays the freight and distributes to the retailer, and the latter to the consumer.
