Feb. 2S.?Foreigners resi-j lent or staying temporarily in Berlin| lave been ordered again to report to he police. When the revolution broke out the ?igid rules concerning registration of 1 iliens were summarily wiped out tlong with other police regulatio.is, for which Borlin was famous. The ] lew freedom thus accorded visitors iroved expensive for Germany, as it mened her frontiers to a promiscuous nfiux of foreigners, especially Ras- ' dans who showed themselves to be 1 skillful in eluding the police dragnet ivhich was thrown out in connection with the widespread Bolsheviki ci tation. Besides foreign political agitators, criminal elements from all parts of Germany were attracted to Berlin by the disorders which made the capital a luctrative Held for their operations. The ten weeks' administration of former Chief of Police Eichhorn . served to - wreck almost completely ??.he efficient police organization for which Berlin was well known. The work of rehabilitating the sys tem is proceeding slowly but with de termination. THE FRONT?AT LAST.

Feb. 28 (Correspondence J of the Associated Press) ? Race sui I eide, as the result of the "aristocracy j of labor." will be the outcome of the I movement by which labor now seeks to destroy capital, according to Dean Enge, of St Paul's Cathedral, in an address recently at a meeting of the Eugenics Education Society. Eng land's dense population, he asserted, I will then disappear and the country will revert to the quiet, rural England Of 17r,0, with London, bereft of hot wealth, the "spiritual capital of. the I world." j ( "Neither voluntary restriction of j births, which only lowers the death rate," he said, "nor famine, nor pesti I lence. nor war has much effect in re-j duclng numbers. The late war -->ost! I 12,000.000 lives from- the separation j [of husbands and wives, in addition to' j about. x.000.000 killed. But those j losses, he added, may be made good' j in a few years "But at home we must face the j fact that the upper and middle class es probably wilt be destroyed by! predatory taxation. We are witness- j irig the creation of :i new privileged i class, an aristocracy of labor, which will become exclusive and conserva- ' five when it has won the privilege of exploiting-the public for its own profit, li probably will refuse to tax itself for the benefit of the prole tariat, so that when the loot of :he minority is gone, we shall no longer support the waste-products of civil ization. '?jjYom the eugenic point of view! this, will be .-in advantage, but since j the cheap races must end by captur ing our trade, the privileged workers ' must themselves; decay. The trade unionist probably will be aHowed to place only one son in his union and will take care not to have more. *?ho industrial employment of women will ilso lower the birth rate.

Feb. 12 (Correspondence of the Associated Press)?Coal queues, the terror of the poor oC Lou- j don. have again made their appear-1 thee because of an acute shortage !" the coal supply, and thousands- of! persons have been daily standing in! line in tin* hope of getting enough j coal to keep some kind of fire.goingi ?n their humble homes. A coal Queue is an interesting sight.! Early in the morning the number cfj customers appearing at some dis tributing point exceeds the nun ber boin.^ disposed of by the coal mer chant. S<? they line up, in the order >tf their arrival, and patiently wait antil they a~re s?pp'?cd; ?'?r are SOW by :he merchant thai he has no n.oi. '>y no means an infrequent develop- i uent. They buy In small quantifies for ; wo reasons?some of them have lit-' le money to invest in coal at existing' high prices, while the second cause 1 s the lack of means to remove large 1 quantities. Often perambulators pro-!' vide the vehicle, but more often thei* purchaser tucks his "black diamonds"!1 iway in an old basket, and hurries on; ? Tis way. If the dealer is so fortunate its to 1 iave a ton or two of coal the quelleM will be maintained for hours m ihej1 siting cold. If his supply is short.; ie is soon sold out. and the queue dis- ! solves, only to be reformed at some j other place in the hope of finding:, more coal. It often happens that persons of means approach the dealer and Offer.! aigh prices for quantities out of all ; ] proportion to the supply, and it is of-j, ;en recorded that 'the dealer will re- j ^ fuse the temptation, because he knows;, thai his trade is among the people j vho are bis regular customers, ihe,. poor of the neighborhood, and they [, will not forget ? him when he oasl j abundant coal ro sell if be discrimi-| j nates in favor of a casual but ric-her j person, j, So poor and rich alike have been' suffering and shivering, because no j >ne really expected the temperature , to 'drop as sharply as it has within Jj the past few days.

( a number of reasons, chiefly the dil- j atory work of the miners who have I demanded a six hour working day,;, and the scarcity of railroad cars. Coal supplies in all centers of p.apu- j ( l?tion are tar below normal, and, there is no prospect of an immediate! improvement in the situation. Many; persons have sought other means of j keeping warm. One old man and his] wife, they are over eighty, have been] in bed for :< week because they have], no coal in the bouse, and their, daughter cares for them.

When .the governor has such assurances "from a majority of the legislature, we are very much in favor of a special ses sion that we may get the benefit of tederal aid and make a beginning of a State system o_ good roads. The following ? regarding cotton seed was adopted: The Sum:er County Chamber of Commerce with several farmers pres ent who have cotton seed on hand, after hearing explained the so-called loll plan of seed exchange, suggested by the Southern Cotton Oil company , to the Food Administration, desire to put on record its disapproval of said plan. We believe that it is better for the farmer." to carry seed over into the next season rather than to. dis pose of them by any plan that would break down the stabilization author ized by the Food Administration. Regarding plans for reception of the Thirtieth Division, the Chamber of Commerce is in a quandary how to proceed as the boys will be corning home in separate detachments at different intervals of time, and be sides there are many Sumter eounty boys in other branches and divisions of the service, many of whom will not get home for-'several months af i?-r the Thirtieth Division arrives. The matter was left for future ac tion as the Chamber sees fit to solve i; or until some definite information is obtainable as to'when the Thirtieth Division will arrive at. point of de mobilization. The secretary was instructed to call upon the township chairmen and memlx-rs of the former Sumter Coun ty Council of Defense, and such other citizens of school districts and town ships as he selects, to collect enough money to make good . the $3,000 guarantee of this county to the State and International health boards for :he county health survey and rural visiting nurse.

There are \ .n ill ions in Europe close to the^p?lurt ? h af starvation according to reports" i >om abroad. Siberia, too. is to learn all about victory gardening. Professor W. C. \ O'Kane of the State Agricultural, Col 'ege at Durham. N. H., has prepar- V vl a garden circular for distribution this summer irt' Siberia by the Agri- ? 'ultural Educational Expedition un- <; ler the auspices of the Young Men's -vj Christian Association. Pictures from he National War Garden Commission ^ -ietory garden book are used In the ? book which has been translated Into Russian. roedstnffs in Place of Cotton. Millions of dollars will stay slz home, ?otton marketing- conditons will be better, and the South be sure of ...| enough feedstuffs, if feed crops are' v planted instead of the usual acreage ? ' of cotton according to K. P. Seed:* of ? .he Atlanta office of federal grain su- ?'? pervision, U. S. Department of Agri- 1 culture. ' The trotten States as a v/holo have : never raised enough feedstuffs ? for. '& their own needs, sending millions .of *: dollars annually to the great grain in states of the middle west for com, oats. hay. and ground feeds to supply ,v rhe deficit, says Mr. Seeds, who-points ; out that the' surplus of these crops ii from the middle West is likely to Jbe /*? less this year because of unui5;ially 'arge acreages plahted to winter wheat ~\ :ast fall. f "The Department of Agriculture es- 3 tiniates that seven of the great corn '4 producing States, Ilinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas. Missouri, Nebraska and \ Ohio planted 4.650.000 acres mor3 : winter wheat last fad than 1917. Un less additional land is devoted to field ?; crops in these States this year, an in- \. crease of 4,650,000 acres in wheats means a corresponding reduction, ^; equal to about 5 per cent, in land 'de-''* voted to other feed crops m "The reduction in supply of these^ crops available for the South, how.-,*" ever is even greater than the ?igures:: indicate. Only a relatively small "por tion of the feed crops of these States! leaves the county where grown in nor-. mal years, and as the amount needed^ for home consumption is nearly con-1. stant, a reduction in the crop is al--: most entirely a reduction, in the/sur-.-' plus which these middle West States ' have to sell. For example, in 1917 ; when this country produced its largest corn crop the seven States mentioned had a total crop of 1.811.90?,OO.fa bu shels but only 53-2.916.000 bushels or 29 per cent was shipped out of the enmity where grown. A 5 per cent re duction in the total crop as a recult of a cut of that amount in the acreage would have been 90.595.000 bushels or 17 per cent of the available surplus. This was on the largest corn crop* the effect on a smaller crop will -b? even greater. "A reduction of this kind in thQ marketable surplus of any crop al most inevitably means higher prices for ii when compared with othrr com modities. It is always cheaper for. the South to raise her own feeds than to pa\ freight and handling*charges on them from the north, but everything indicates that it will be more than usually profitable this year." 3;
