Birmingham, Ala.,March 25.?Journeymen plumbers of the Birmingham district have served notice that, effective April 1, they will demand $12 a day, with double pay for overtime, Sundays and holidays. The demand, master plumbgrs say, will be met and the additional cost passed along to the builder an<J householder." The above brief local item in yesterday's news from the South perfectly eptomizes in eight lines the economic drama now working to a climax all over the United States. "Demands met and passed ,al<mg-" The phrase has comer to signify the whole precarious process by which the country is trying to persuade itself that, rising wages, rising prices, and heretic spending can somehow be combined to make prosperity. News of the same day disclosed that the campaign to induce the public to buy cheaper cuts of meat is being accelerated by the packers with a view to "assisting" the natural workings of the law of supply and demand ixi a manner that must result in a net increase of all meat prices. More shameless examples were added to the long lists of rent profiteer, ing in this city. Meanwhile, in Chicago union carpenters were refusing to set up portable houses to relieve a housing crisis on the ground that the houses in 1 question were not made by union la- ; bar in Chicago. - , Plumbers, meat-profiteers, rent- boosters?what are they more than , conspicuous examples dhiong a hun- , dxed other classes now busy either in creasing their own demands or pass- ] ing demands made on them along to some one else? ( No one stops to think that the increasing demands for which he is responsible will surely come back to him < in the shape of other demands which be must meet. The carpenter never reflects that ; the harder or more costly he makes < it to build a house, the more certainly will his own rent keep on going up. up. "Passed along" is the fitting password for a fool's paradise of unrestrained grabbing and greed. ty'ar wages, war profits and inflation of the currency started it. How will we stop it ? .! Perhaps not until the appearance | of some little cloud no bigger than a man's hand: A rumor?the collapse of a bank?a failure in some industry. Then suddenly confidence will shiver and shrink, spending will stop, prices will come tumbling down, factories will go on half-time and millions of workers will lose their jobs and be left gazing into dark skies. The cost of' living will fall fast enough then. Panic is a swift annihilator of profiteering?but it operates with ruthless weapons of hunger and want. It is unbelievable that level-headed Americans will rush blindly on to that turning.?New York World. Public Sentiment and Santee Bridge J We are satisfied that public sentiment in Charleston will thoroughly approve Governor Cooper's refusal to veto the Santee Bridge act passed at the recent session of the Legislature and providing for the erection of a bridge across the Santee river at Murray's Ferry at a cost of approximately $1,000,000, half of the money to come from the Federal Government, and the other half million to be raised by a bond issue arranged joint ly by Charleston, Berkeley and Wil-1 liamsburg counties. The question of the constitutional-1 ity of this act raised by Mr. Lee Royal1 c is one for the courts if Mr. Royal! e and his clients choose to take the, r question before the courts. No one I f of course, can say what the courts ' might decide in this matter or in any j f other matter. What we do know is 11 that a bridge across the Santee would \ be of incalculable value to this city c and to the low country and we know t further that the plan authorized by f the Geneial Assembly at its recent1 s session is the only practicable plan; t yet proposed for getting such a bridge. J1 The Santee river cuts Charleston j t off from the richest agricultural sec- f tion of South Carolina, a section nat-' c urally tributary to this city. In this i dav of automobiles it is imperative; e that communication between Charles- j ton and this rich and progressive re- j gion be established as quickly as pos- j sible. If that is to be accomplished' Charleston must help accomplish it. |-J The defeat oi the Santee bridge1 project would be a blow at the progress of this city and the coast re-1 gion.?The News and Courier. ! t ? ' \l COMPLETING LARGE MILL ?h About Half Million Dollars Will Be I Spent On Plant, if M Georgetown, March 30.?The mill ^ buildings, power plant and drying 0 sheds of the Pennsylvania Stave Com- 0 pany, covering about six acres of land s on the Sampit river, just outside the v city limits, are rapidly nearing com- 0 a pletion and show up vastly larger e than the average citizen had expected to see. It is to be a big industry. At a conservative estimate at least a 3 half million dollars will be invested 3 in buildings and equipment alone. v Great tracts of gum timber have been secured under option or bought out- a right along the rivers adjacent to n Georgetown. More than forty homes 1 wilf be built here for the skilled labor ^ that is to be brought in to operate the v plant when completed. It is expected j that work of manufacturing will be-11 gin about the first of June next. The American Sugar Refining Com- ^ pany is behind this enterprise and this mill will be the largest of any now being operated by them in the entire United States, it is said. Messrs. T. A. Sullivan, vice president, and Charles Langlotz, consulting engineer, were here this week to inspect the plant and were well pleased ] ^ at the progress made. Mr. Lemuel n Edwards, superintendent, is in charge a of the work on this end, his assistants 1 being Messrs. Jos. A. Young and Allan s L. Hansten. Mr. J. E. McQuade of Georgetown has control of the labor. ^ 0 h a Dillon Farmers Prosperous. if For the first time in the history of gj the county the farmers /are doing j business on a cash basis. This does ^ not mean that every farmer in the county will pav cash as he goes, but 0, ... . a the great majority of tnem nave i a enough money in the bank to make and harvest this year's crops. There are some few exceptions, of course, but they are very few. The borrow- n ing, habit has become so deeply root- ^ ed that it will take some farmers ? many years to get out of it. They must borrow a little money, even though they have a healthy balance ' in the bank. But the number is get- ^ ting smaller and smaller every year, ^ and if prices hold up for another year tj or two the great majority of farmers w will become lenders instead of bor- ^ rowers.?Dillon Herald. I w 0 fi DILLON FAIR ASSOCIATION |j g Stock Has Been Subscribed and Work Will Begin on Building at Once. Over $11,5UU nas oeen suuscnucu to the capital stock of the County ~ Fair Association, and it is practically 1 certain that Dillon county will have a fair next fall. Books of subscription will be formally opened April 16, 1 and when the legal requirements have f been complied with application will ? be made to the Secretary of State for 0 a charter. The building will be erected at the 4 race track, where additional land has been purchased. Work on the building will begin as soon as the material can be purchased, and it is J hoped to have everything in shape d for the opening, which will be held some time in the early fall.?Dillon v Herald. s o There are more automobiles registered in South Carolina for 1920 than there were for last year by more than three hundred, but in some of the counties where automobiles are most prolific the registrations have fallen * off, especially in Richland, Orange- s burg, Charleston and Spartanburg { i counties. Richland shows the great- 1 est decrease in the number of regis- * tered cars, and Charleston is a close J [second in the tardiness. Thos is ac- t cording to figures made public Saturday afternoon by tfce State Highway * department in Columbia. j - - 4 -I' . . - A Perfume Factory in the Home. All the apparatus required to make lelightful perfume at home is two mpty bottles, the one ,with a larger leek than the other; a piece of very ine sponge and some olive oil. Fill the larger bottle with fresh lowers, roses or heliotrope is best, nsert the sponge, after it has been cashed clean and saturated with olive til, into the neck of the smaller botle. Next, fit the bottles together and dace them in the sun. Next day, queeze out the extract into a small ightly corked bottle and refill the arger one with new flowers. Coninue this until the small bottle is illed with perfume. The sponge need inly be oiled once. Add one ounce of pure alcohol for ach drop of flower extract. ' o A CARD Lttention, Tobacco Growers of Georgetown, Williamsburg and Surrounding Counties: l taae irus meinou 10 aniiuuinc hat I will operate the Planter's Warelouse, now under construction, this oming season. This wa'rehouse will ie located in the city of Georgetown. We will be able to offer you afl the atest improvements, an experienced orce to handle your product, and wiil rive you just as good service in Jeorgetown as can^be had anywhere n earth. I have handled South Carolina tobacco for the past eight seaons, and this experience, together /ith the advantage of our full corps f buyers gives you the guarantee of :etting full value for your tobacco. I am known to some who will read his and no doubt have served a few nd will appreciate the patronage of ny of my old friends and customers /ho come to see_me in my new home. Georgetown is a logical place for big tobacco market, having many atural advantages. We have freight ates that no other market can comare with and labor in abundance, /hich are prime considerations with he buyer in these labor troublesome imes. Our roads are better than hose of some neighboring counties, ,-hich enables the farmer to bring is tobacco to market without killing is team.

Tobacco is a plant that fiould never be allowed to stop growlg until the stalk is fully matured, ilich generally takes ninety days, a plow your tobacco well once a week nd more if the rains harden the dirt round the weed. By all means keep our tobacco free of suckers. Unless ou do, you need not expect to make ood tobacco, and in my opinion a lan that has common tobacco to ofsr this season will be in a tad fix. ivery man in topping his tobacco lust be his own judge. Give the lant all the leaves it will stand; do ot top too high, but top so that your >p leaves, commonly known as tips, ill be as large and fully matured as le leaf in the middle of the plant. I ill be in Georgetown from now until le close of the tobacco season, and ill be only too glad to come to your elds and give my opinion and advice, ust drop me a card and I .will be lad to call on you and help you in ny way.
