The Columl la Chamber of Com?

and permanent market for corn and

Mr. W. J. Savage, of Knoxvllle,
Teno., an authority on grnln eleva

confer with the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce and the nun
who are interested In the elevator and

The establishment of grain eleva?

and utilising corn and other grains
must be considered by the business

supported by the farming interests. If

Tbc Germans complain very much,
They complain because the balam e of
ti\e world accept taets at their face
Value and holds Germany rcsponsiMe
lor precipitating the war. They
? omplain boraUOl there is world-w ide
indignation over the violation of Del?
Hum neutrality ami the ruthless de?
Ivaotatlou of that country accompanied
by unexampled severity in the
treatment of non-combatants. They
complain because the world is hor
ritied by the dropping of bond's on
Antwerp and other cities, far remov?
ed from the scene of actual hostilities,
and killing women ami c hildren poUCO?
fully sleeping in their beds. They
complain betaust Kimland refused to
stand aside while they ravaged Bel
gium and conquered France. And they
OOmplaln bOOnunf Americans do not
isympathizo with them and applaud
their methods of waging war. There
Is undoubtedly much to blame in the
conduct c>f aii engagad in this war,
but G< rman.v, by her aw gant attitude
h ? loa! t..f BymiNithy <?i' many who
were Inclined! to lake the German
side of the question, and the continued
etTorl t?. nhifl the blame to other
shoulders creates the Impression that
t he < lermana t !>.. msol> es fei l that
they are waging an unjust war nnd
are trying lo excuse what they know
cannot be justified,
Tin- practice ot : trlcl economy la ad?
visable but it can be carried to an ex*
treme some economists wee in i<? lind
it impoaaible tu curtail exepnditurcs,
st? therefore are rigidly economical In
paying debts, This is what might be
calh d false ec< muiny,
* * *
There is no market for cotton at
satisfactory pre es, but there la a large
and unaupplied locul demand for eggs,
poultry ami vurloua other articles of
country produce, and the prices are
high enough to satisfy anybody.
* * *
It is the luxuries that make the
cost of living high, <'ut out every?
thing eXCOpI the ban" necessities and'
the problem of making ends meet!
will become easier,
e e e
Paying debts with cotton BW cur?
rency, on the basks of ten cents a
pound is better business than holding
cotton on the uncertain prospect of an
advance above ton cents nnd leaving
the debts unpaid,

An acre or two <?f wheat will pro

Tin appeal of the Civic League that
was published yesterday, calling for
help for a specific case of distress
should meet with a prompt response
from the charitable | eople of Sumtcr
who have never yet failed to respond
promptly and liberally when cases of
destitution have keen brought to
their attention, The times may be
hard, money scarce and the outlook
discouraging, but there ;?* ** hundreds
who tan and wdll gladly share what
they have with those who are in
worse straits than they are. .Miss
Antonia Qibson, the city nurse, who
!? lows the necessities of those who.
are sick and in wan;, will see that
every cent that is given is properly
expended.
* * *
It is against the law to raise hogs
In every town and city that has a
well regulated health department, but
thore is no law to prevent the rais?
ing of hog;; on all the farms of the
country. Sumter county farmers buy
many carloads of western bacon every
year and the city of Sumter pays out
thousands of dollars yearly for bacon,
hams and lard from western packing
houses, There Is a home market for
every hog.that can be raised in Sum?
ter county and hog raising is one way
to escape the penalty id' too much cot?
ton.
* * ?
it is natural, and also proper for
those who owe debts that they cannot
pay on the very day they are due be?
cause there is no market lor cotton
and the consequent demoralisation of
the South's business and financial sys?
tem, to worry but there does not ap?
pear to be any disposition on the par;
