A< ociated Preaa i? exclusively en ft rd to the use for republication of new patches credited to It or not otherwia '. rrd m this paper. and also the loos r ? ruhlisbed therein SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, The world is slowly but surely com nig down from its war-inflated con caption of finance, abnormal excite rneiit growing out of the war rji n oral laxity resulting from the wui j ii.it the world, particulailv the Unit ?>d Stales, went crazy in its conceptio c-f money nolK?dy seems to dojbi Money flowed all too freely, peopl did not count it a thing of value. In deed, it came about that money get t be so plentiful that it lost most "f it value. 1 was not that there was scarciy of other commodities. Tier never was a time when there wu more ol the things needed in thi country?clothing, food, fuel and eve luxuries, than when the peak of hig prices was readied. Supply and d< mand failed to coordinate. Arbitrar interference with this great economi law prevailed. Nobody seemed di; turbed, all of us went crazy?"plumb crazy. But when the settling days b< gan to dawn, when the wild orgy su't sided, even to some extent, man thoughtful men gave voice to the in' pending danger. Many who had e> panded far beyond the point of solid arity, using credit to extend upor were caught. They are still caugh bard and fast. Time, energy and pru dence will have to unite to pull thei through. Many of these will surren der, have already surrendered, unde The pressure, and many others wi yet go down. Some of them to aris< others never to arise. But the grea economic law is still in existence?an it iq ntrnin nnpmtivn T Tnrlxi** ifa f.n -V .w ?* > ?rv..,v..v. W ? v.l VI^ eration the many are benefited. Whei it is inoperative the many are injureand the few prow rich. We are toda upon n far better footing and the fu ture is far brighter than two year ago. True, we had 40 cents cottor but we had, also 60 cents ginghams and everything was inflated, Toda; we are upon the eve of real prosperity not merely seeming prosperity. Tru everybody is a bit scared. That is on thing that makes the process of dc llath.n exceedingly unpleasant?feai Fear grips the heart of the poor, fo his excited imagination sees the bot torn of the meal barrel; fear grips th heart of the rich, for his distort* mind sees the crumbling of the foun dations. Discouragement results. Th wheels slow down. Selfishness be conies paramount. But this cowardl; condition of mind will soon pass There is too much work to be done too much money possessed to allov the wheels to stop. When the wheel stop they rust and become obsolete All will work out beautifully in th' end and there is nothing wrong tha cannot be righted. And, too, the ex citement is subsiding. A saner men tal stole is beginning to possess th' mind of the people. We have fount that jazz leaves tired nerves an< weary bod es; that what a man sows he reaps. W'e are beginning to fin* that the old world is going on in it: course as usual, and that there ha: not been the change of a single nat uial law. We are beginning to awak< 11urn our lamasuc areammg ana iron our hilarious living. It may shod us a bit to find out the fact that wha was., is and what is, will yet be. I?u it. will do us good, real good, to real ize these things. And it drives nwnj our fear, does it not? Moreover, the lax moral sltuatior brought about on account of the un settled conditions throughout th< world is improving. The first step up ward from moral degredntion come! when we realize depravity. You can not build upon a foundation of ignorance. When a man does not know he is down he sees no necessity for arising. One of the most hopeful signs of the times is the awakening: conscience. The moral jnzzites are not nearly so loud mouthed as they were a bit a go. The half-baked theories are fewer. Many of the wild and immoral conceptions of life created by the wild and crazy theorists arc perishinK, perishing for the reason that they have been tried and found v/anting. We do not hear quite so much exploitation of free love nor quite so much of drunken moral fren 1 zy in general. The socialist and theji anarchist have ceased to speak with authority. We may thank Russia for this. Russia's experience with Com. niunism has cured the world of Com. munism, or at least has greatly relieved it of that hideous disease. We are beginning to realize that if Res- J ' sia cannot live by bolshevism, neither ? may wc hope to live by it." 8 Taking it all in all, we are coming I to a new and a better day, one that ' is to witness great advance in ma ' terial, social and moral relations. Iti Tt the hurry and stir of the journey's beginning there may be much discomfort and some anxiety. But not for * long. Soon the old world will he going e >i on without a tremor, and into an ever _ increasing flood of sunlight. God grant it may so be! 'c Our cat says the world a fin? place in which to live.

Help For Farmers y ' ' Much Needed Relief Offered Uve..stock Growers of South Carolina s ' The South Carolina Co-operative t. Livestock association will supply a y much needed relief and assistance to . i the stock growers of this State. For the first time in history our govern ment hus seen fit to come to the fin e ancinl assistance and aid of the stoek growers, r. His has indeed been a lone fight in r the past, and still in the present., The majority of the banks do no consider livestock good collateral. e The few that do give it any considd oration at all do not extend their i- loans over 50 per cent of the value e of the livestock offered as security.! Now the government has at last ex-| tended a helping hand. It cannot be! * blamed for not recognizing the indus j ' try in the past as the venture was too risky. It would have had to de ! v part from its sound business meth s ods to have done so. There has at last been an Act j passed that makes it possible for a | K livestock grower to obtain very lib ] t oral loans on his stock. Although j - the War Finance Corporation, from' . which this assistance can be had ; t does not recognize the individual live-j stock grower, it Joes recognize ar J association of growers. * The South Carolina Co-operative , Livestock Association has beer, j formed according to the requirement s s of the laws laid down by this Act. P.y being a member of this associas tion a grower is privileged to receive " or borrow from two-thirds to throet fourths of the market value of his i ) livestock. The money thus obtained. t can be expended in enlarpiny the ! ( herd, fattening, breeding and orderly marketing; and, in fact, in any way 1 ?hnt applies to this particular indus try. t Thus the members of this assoeia tion will briny thousands upon thou^ sands of dollars into the State. This is yoiny to put new life Into th" j veins of the industry' instead of let- I * tiny it smash on the breakers of a demoralized market. , With the assistance offered by th" association the livestock industry should yrow as it will briny about a condition that would eliminate the I ' speculator and give the producer a chance to market his livestock order- ! ly and at a time when a justifiable i price canr be obtained. Toe grower must do his part. The government has offered to meet him , half way. If the grower grasps th" j i opportunity that is offered him, prosperity will take the place of poverty. The exercise of good judgment by the stockmen of this State will make a landmark in its history. < ? , r Richmond, Mass.?Woman to run for office against her husband.

' Steady progress Is being made in * the campaign for signatures to the contract, it was announced yesterday by R. C. llamer, chairman of the ' campaign committee. Meetings arc being held every day now In all sections of the state and reports to state j headquarters indicate that the people are very greatly interested, said , Mr. Hamer. The banks of Darlington county, Mr. llamer said, have issued a state- j mcnt to the farmers of Darlington county telling them that membership in the association will give them better standing at the banks of that , count v. The statement which no peared in the last issue to Darlington county newspapers, copies of which were received at state headquarters yesterday, says that "at a meeting of the bankers of Darlington county, cooperative marketing of cotton was , thoroughly discussed and unanimously indorsed, advising the farmers to sign the contract." , Contracts representing over 600 bales were received at headquarters yesterday from the western half of York county. Oconee county sent in contracts representing over 300 bales and a letter from that county says 'hat sign up meetings are being ar ranged for every section of the coun- 1 ty. The week of February 5-12 has 1 been set aside as "Get a Member < Week" and every grower who is now i member of the association has been isked to endeavor to sign another rower to the contract during that week.

American Fleet in Guantanamo Bay Guantanamn, Cuba, Feb. 4.?The Atlantic Fleet steamed into Guantanamo Bay today and anchored off" the naval base that for more than a score of years has been the winter playground and training camp for Yankee sailor*" Here the gobs and their officer.-- -ill remain until April. -l.: i vyuiiyiiij? a lilt iiiui having iuc that keeps Jack a bright and snappv boy. None of the sailors had put foot on land since January 3 when their ships went to sea for the annual cruise in southern waters, until launches came chugging ashore today. Admiral Hilary P. Jones, commander of the fleet, was waiting aboard his flagship Columbia in the harbor when the fighting craft plowed into the Bay from the Guancanayabo Gulf, 180 miles westward, where since January 10 everyone has been busy with gunnery exercises, engineering trials ' :Vnd torpedo firing. .

There is no "town" to go to. Manzandlo is the nearest .sizable place of habitation and it is too far away for the sailors to visit while on liberty.
