Cotton seed hulls havo advanced within the last few days $2 to $1 a ton and the indications are that tins is only a beginning. The appear? ance recently in .south Georgia of the boll weevil and the orders of the au? thorities putting this station under strict quarantine Insofar as the ship? ment of seid and hulls from this ter? ritory was concerned has forced the north Georgia buyers to enter the Carolina market, with the result that the demand has Increased much fast? er than the supply, with the Inevita? ble boost of the price, Inquiry at a local cotton seed <?ii plant yesterday brought forth the Interesting informa? tion that not only had the price of hulls advaneed but that of meal also, although the latter is not so much affected as the former. The situation is one that will bear watching in the estimation of local buyers. ( North Georgia is a large buyer of hulls .for feeding purposes and the production of the State is seldom ever adequate to the demand, SgVS when there is an altogether ex? ceptional crop. North Georgia is therefore forced to look elsewhere for its hullo. Tin* same is true of Ala b ma and Mississippi. It is next to Impoeslbls to ship in hulls from the boll weevil territory because this is against the Federal regulations. These buyers are therefore compelled to look to the Carolina mills for their hulls. With such a short crop this year likely, the pries of hulls would have advanced but .the appearance of the boll weevil in south Georgia and the subsequent quarantine against the shipment of hulls from that terri tory, has brought the situation to a bead much earlier than expected. Local seed men say that while the i resent price is from |1 to $1 up, that the Increase per ton may go much higher and that there is hardly any telling where it will stop.?Green? ville News.

The struggle for temperance and sobriety is over and South Carolina has at last emerged from a state of lUkewarmnCSS and carelessness as to the liquor business, and planted her? self on a plane of self-respect and decency as an example for other States to follow. Prohibition has its ene? mies and always has had, and will have right on, but we are thankful it lias Its friends and they are in a large majority, not only in South Car? olina but throughout tin United tit* t?.-,.;. li'l 01 a few(y?ul :. gho will i> in '^ic . ascendency, notwithstanding] thd efforts to th< contrary. Bduca*. Uon today is at a more progressive [ stage in this country than ever before and through Its wonderful power the people read and think for themselves, and they see better things than the traffic in alcoholic liquors for the country ami are making intelligent strides to secure them. The senti? ment is growing stronger and more determined to dethrone king alco? hol throughout the union and we as Carolinians are proud that our little .-'t?te has thrown off his yoke and will soon, be comparatively free from his imperial domination. Of course, we have a great many among us, who have held up the blind tigers, illicit trade and the liquor club as a scare crown and will coninue to do so for a time, but If they will exercise as much activity in locating and securing evi? dence to convict those who are engag? ed in the business, it will be curtail? ed to a great extent. No reasonable man can expect to entirely get rid of the illegal traffic, for like all the other criminal statutes on the books, a law against the manufacture and sale of liquor within this State will be violat? ed. That is a weak excuse for the non-support of prohibition. We have been tob' that should the cause win by a small majority, the prohibitionists would be responsible for the non maintenance of law and order within the State. With a vote of fifty thotl and cast, of which thirty-live thou? sand were for prohibition, It seems that a strong majority Is in its favor and in that majority there is strength enough with tho cooperation of those who are in sympathy with it, al? though! they did not vote, to lend suin? dent aid to eXCUtlVC powers, that their administration may not be a failure. Money, energy and time have been de Voted to the cause of king alcohol in this State for a long time, but now his banner is furled and he, himself is iii the last stages of existence legally and on the first day of January, 1916, he will (dost- his eyes in death and the citizenship of South Carolina can re? joice that they have gotten rid of a monster, whose onlj purpjose was to reduce them to a state of msiery. both morally and linnncia'ly. .1.
