The war's effect on wheat prices is gradually running flour up to a figure which is becoming burdensome on the householder. But we are but duplicating the experiences of the past. Wheat prices during the wars of the past hundred years have been as follows: 1S15?Napoleonic wars. $1.76 1866?Crimean war. 1.28 1864?Civil war. 2.28 18?7?Just after Civil war.. .. 285 1877?I tuHMo-Turkish war ... . 1.76 1898?Spanish-American war 1.85 1904?Busso-Jap war .... 1.21 1916?European war. 1.65 Averago price for 7 wars ... 1.90 These figures Indicate that every available acre should be planted in wheat this fall. Wheat Is going to keep on being wheat for a long time to come?and should flour go above ten dollars a barrel. It occurs to us. the govern? ment, In order thst the American peo? ple shall not suffer, should place an embargo on the product and fix a maximum price. Why should Amer? ica suffer hunger because of the de* termination of the balance of the world to murder Its neighbors?? Blchmond Virginian. ExoeUcnt Work of the Canning Club.

HEARING ON TELEPHONE RATES Patrons Complain of Service and Pro? test on Raise of Rates In Manning ?Another Hearing Later. Manning Herald. On Thursday last Messrs. G. Mc Duttte Hampton, John G. Richards, and Frank W. Shealey, being the Railroad Commission of South Caro? lina, met in the Court House to hear the complaints of the patrons of the Clarendon Telephone Company against a raise in rates. Mr. Robert Shelor and I. C. Strauss, Esq., of Sumter, appeared for the company, and Chariten DuRant, Esq., appeared for the patrons of the telephone company. There was some general discussion which didn't seem to get matters to a head, the company con? tending that it was morally and le? gally entitled to a higher rate because of better service, already given and in contemplation. It appeared that the company could not legally advance its rate without the sanction of the Commission and Mr. DuRant with? drew the petition. Mr. Strauss then gave notice that the company wished authority to advance its rate and the commission set a date for a hearing on that. Cotton Again King. For the high price which cotton is now bringing?the highest it has brought since the seventies?the South can find two main causes. The first is the fact that in spite of itself the South has not been able this year; to grow as much cotton as the world Is ready to buy. The second Is the cotton futures legislation which pre vents the speculators from controlling the market against the laws of sup? ply and demand. The people of the South are at last protected In this re? gard and they have abundant cause to be grateful that this Is true. It must be borne In mind, of course, tbat the high levels reached by cotton this1 season are only an In? cident of a period which has been marked by soaring prices on all pro? ducts. Coton could not bring what It is now bringing If the mills were not] In position to find ready markets for their output at prices which enable them to pay upwards of 20 cents for cotton And still make money. Orders are pouring- in upon the manufactur? ers. They must have the cotton to Uli these orders. The consumption of cot? ton in this country went up over SOO.OOQ bales during jthe last cottonj T?aT afld nearly a half million more bales of Unters were consumed dur? ing the same period. In 1916 the South consumed about, three million bales of cotton. Tho Manufacturers' Record estimates that the Southern mills will consume around four mil? lion bales this year. The best thing about the high price of cotton this year is that it has come at a time when much of the cotton should still be in the hands of the growers so that they will be able to get the benefit of it. When cotton made such a sensational rise at the time of the Sully campaign In 1904 It was at the end of the winter aad the advantage to the South was very small. Nov.-, however, the merchants and the farmers are profiting and to a degree which must bring great pros? perity to the South us a whole while saving from distress many sections In which there would have been much suffering this winter if cotton had not brought the prices it is bringing. What has happened this year justi? fies conclusively the wisdom of keep? ing the production of cotton within the world's demands. This has been urged upon the South for-yearsbut It hus never been possible to get the farmers to act on such a policy. We believe that they have learned a great deal In the last two years, however, and while it is certain that the South will continue to grow all the cotton It s capable of producing the great majority of farmers hereafter will feel that this limit is to be fixed after they have first arranged to grow their feedstuffs for their stock and taken care of their own tables us far as possible. This is the sensible course. If it is followed the tide of prosperity now headed Southward cannot be broken.?News and Courier.
