The Advertiser will be glad to receive the local news of all the communities in the county. Cor respondenits are requested to sign their names to the contrl butions.. Letters should not be mailed later than Monday morn ing. The fact that flour has reached $8.00 a barrel and loaf bread has gone upil one cent should serve as another spur to southern farmers to raise more grain and less cotton. S.. Nothing indicates the reduction in the cotton crop this year more than the reduced sale of fertilizers. While we disagree with the policy of reduc tion of the use of fertilizer per acre, the facts are that less of It is being bought. Figures sent out. by Clemson college show that hardly one fourth as much was sold in January this year as in the same month last year. a.. Rather than reduce the amount of fertilizer it seems to us that a better policy would be to use an euInal amount but on other crops than cot ton. . " . The legislat ure has been very wise in postponing action on the two cent railroad rate bill. The railroads, like the rest of us, have been hit hard by the conditions resulting from the war, and any attack upon their earning power at this time might result dis astrously, j I ;.1 ig While we agree with Gov. Manning that it would have been better and certainly pleasanter to have an assist ant attorney general in sympathy with his own polilces, still, since there seems to be no way in which he can enforce his wishes in the matter it would have been bet ter to allow the situation to remain as it. was rather than create friction inl the capitol. lookhig back over the files of The Advertiser of seven or eight years ago we find in several places suggestionAs for the f'oirmation of' a aitrens C'ounty it 1oicial (( socity.

I wish to give not ice that, owing to the slow collection of road taxes, we are not able to authorize roads to be dragged for pay. In mnny sections of the county the citizens are doing vol untary work, and we would be glad if the people in all sections' would give its similar help. It -would be time well spent. We know that many can not meet their taxes promptly, but when taxes are not paid our revenue is cut off, and of course we cannot keep the usual amount of work going on, and if in critical times like the present the citizens of the different communities would volunteer a little assistance it would do much to relieve conditions. I would also states that overseer's commissions of last year are out of force now, as these comumissions are good only for the year in which they are issue, and persons desiring to do work on any goad, where pay is ex pected, must have authority from some member of the Board of County Com missioners.
