The lack of paying this re spect can come but from two causes, either ignorance or had manners, no we must hope that it was from the former cause. It is time that every one in America should know, how ever, that the Star Spangled Banner is our national air. and that when if is played that certain respect must be paid lo it by every one. In tie* military world there are regular rules that cover the conduct of the soldier or sailor, from the very highest down to the lowest. In the civic wo' id cus tom is fixing the conduct of those within hearing just as strongly. When the national air is played everyone should rise to his or her feet, and should stand perfectly still and <jui"t without moving or speaking. All men should uncover their heads. It is to be hoped that in future ev eryone in every audience will pay to our national air the deference that a patriotic and well bred citizen should. M. Watch Cotton Seed Demand for Oil Increasing and Price Due to Advance ) j - Mr. E. W. Dabbs, who has repre sented the South Carolina Farmers, on the committee that has made sev eral- trips to Washington to consult j with the authorities in reference to the price of cotton seed and to en deavor to find some means by which the situation could be remedied and u market found for the thousands of tons of s*ed still in the hands of farm ers, received a long distance message Monday night that a meeting would be held in Washington for the pur ?ose of removing the stabilization reg ulations on cotton seed products..He .vas asked for an expression of opin on as to the advisability of this action. Ie .stated that if the removal of the -emulations would have the effect of creating a market for cotton seed at a air price he approved of the action contemplated, hut if it. was for the purpose of depressing 'he price of ;eed he would not favor the change. Ie was informed that the demand for :otton seed oil had become so strong recently that the surplus on hand rould soon he exhaustetl and larger supplies would be called for. and .his being the case the price of oii vould advance and cotton seed should hare in the higher price. No official advise is offered lh< lolders of cotton seed as to wha hey had better do in the situation ?ut the fact that cotton seed oil h ilmost certain to advance above tn< labilized price fixed by the food ad uinistration in consequence of the de uand. the holders of seed who hav< vaited so long for a market should )f cautious about accepting the first ?ffers made for their seed after tin 'egulaled price has been abolished.

A Great Celebration AU: Sumier County Turned Out To Welcome Home the Re turned Soldiers Sumter county gave her returned soldi /s a welcome that was most cor dia . most enthusiastic and most unanimous.v The crowd that filled Sumter Monday from early morning until late evening and thronged the streets along the line of parade, and attended the exercises at the Fair Grounds, "was the largest and -,r thr same time the most representative ? fratherinc'" of iht- white cuizensniu of Sumter county thai the writer his ever seen in this city at one time. There have been larger crowds here j but never so many white people.. It was a testimonial of honor and respect i for He- men who gave their service and dedicated their lives to .the cause of their country that the returned sol dier could not have failed to feel deep j ly ami to appreciate. The programme arranged by the committees in charge of the celebra tion was carried on) with eloek-like precision and it was the general com ment that the affair was one of the best managed ami most, successfully executed that Sumter has ever staged. Tin- parade was formed at the foot of Main street and moved promptly ai II o'clock, the hour appointed. Th? line was headed by the military band from Camp Jackson, then came the several detachments in the following oi-.b-r: Sumter Light Infantry Re serves,* Naval detachment. Sumter High School Battalipn. Army men of the various branches of the service and then the Tank. hTe parade moved up Main street, which was elaborately decorated with a multitude of flags of the allied na tions that united to put the Hun put of business, and then through Warren. Washington and Liberty to the Fair ('?'rounds. At the Fair Grounds, where a crowd of four to five thousand filled the grand stand massed in front of it, the exercises were opened with the invo cation by Rev. C. C. Brown. Mr. Da vis D. Moise who acted as master of ceremonies introduced Mayor L. D. Jennings who made a brief address of welcome in which he expressed the feeling that impelled the people of Sumter county to unite in this man ner to place on record a public testi monial of the respect .and love -they felt for our hoys, and their thanks giving for the safe return of those whom we welcome home with glad ness. Sergeant Larkin of the 27th Divis ion (New York National Guards') which division was trained at Camp Wadsworth. Spartanburg, and with the 30th Division, had the dearly bought honor of breaking the Hin-j denburg line, next made a brief ad dress telling of his experiences in France. He lost a leg in this drive. Then followed Private Ceincr. of the Rainbow Division, who was a mem ber of the 1G7 Alabama Elegiment. and saw hard fighting on several fronts in France. He was iu the great St. Mihiel drive ami it was there on the sixth day of the drive that he lost one of his legs. In the Tight that he was wounded, he was the only one of his machine gun detach ment thai came out alive. Dr. J. A. Rice was next introduced to make the chief, address of the day. and wonderfully well and most elo quently and impressively did he per form the task assigned him. ? Those who did not hear Dr. Rice yesterday missed one of the most, notable ad dresses delivered in Sumier within a decade. If it is possible to obtain the nddress in manuscript it will be print ed in full in the immediate future. Private La Plane, of the 27th Divis ion, made the closing address, and his talk was devoted to the Victo-v loan and the duty that the people c. we the government to put this finari-1 r-ia; drive over the top and thereby en-, able in- governmentalo discharge ntl I its Obligations especial! \ obiigatip/iSj it owes to the soldiers who lost in the service the ability to resume the; occupations that they followed before entering the service. Private LaBlanc lost an arm in the drive to break the riindenburg line, adn he and his two companions liave been under treatment in the Walter Reid Hospital at Washington. Thev volunteered to go out on the Victory Joan campaign and to carry a message to the people. \t tie a- request they wer?5 assigned to South Carolina, for in this State they received their training for overseas service and on thai account they feel a peculiar attachment to South Caro lina. At the conclusion of this part of the programme, Mayor Jennings was inireduced and immediately told the crowd what he was up again for. | He called for subscriptions to the' Victory Loan, telling the crowd that! Sumter was in duty bound to make up its quota. The subscriptions came in rapidly and in a short time $220, 000 had been pledged. But the din ner hour approached and the bond drive had to be suspended. The feature oi the day for many, if not a majority of the crowd was the great county-wide basket picnic din-j rer on the school square: There was food for a multitude and all who-anic were fed: There was everything good tu <?:>( thai one could think of. i>? cloding barbecued pig, which had been prepared <?n Ui<- grounds by ex-j peri cooks. tilings considered the day was] , most pleasant occasion and the final event was the open-air dance on !
