They are of more , importance, if less immediate inter. est than most of the news that does appear there. They give us hope > that the people of the South are not i deaf to the lessons of the past three . years nor blind to the great obliga. tions which confront them. > For it is the South, as President J Wilson declared last spring, which J can do most to add to the food re' sources of the nation. The South has proved this already, moved in . large part by a great patriotic im1 pulse, and finding itself as a result ' more prosperous today than ever in its history. Less food is being L brought into this section than at any ; time in many years. The South is 1 not only producing cotton to clothe 1 the world. It is learning to feed it " self at the same time and is introducJ ing new foods to the rest of America. As yet, however, we have made on^ ly a beginning. We have not begun ' really to feel the strain of the times in which we live. The farmers of the " South have seen the predictions 1 which were made last spring as to the world's need of food this winter ' fulfilled only too completely. Let them be warned now that the need ' next year will be even more acute. - Whether the war ends before another harvest or not famine will . stalk ' through Europe a twelvemonth hence unless America is prepared to come to the rescue. The News and Courier, understand, : :s not preaching against the planting of a big crop of cotton next ? spring. It never has done that. Even i in the winter of ID 14-15 when gloom was thickest it protested against the absurd propositions which were brought forward for limiting the cotton acreage by law. South Carolina must plant cotton next year, just as it was compelled to plant cotton in 1915, dangerously uncertain as the outlook then was. But South Carolina must not plant cotton at the ex-' pense of food and feed. There i i are limititations within which, even i at the present high prices of cotton,' it is more profitable for the South Carolina farmer to raise foodstuffs than it is to raise cotton; and to do so ! next year will be besides the largest possible contribution to the winning of the war.?Charleston News and i Courier. NATIONAL ARMY WONT GO TO FRANCE SOON Washington, Nov. 10.?The possibility that the first increment of the national army will not be sent to France for at least six months loomi ed large today when it became known that the allies' demands for food, coal and iron are so strong as to forecast use of afailable ocean tonnage of her troops. A decision on the question will rest ' , largely on reports expected soon from . the American commission now abroad and on figures being assembled by Food Administrator Hoover to show . the amount of grain and other food products available for export in thi United States and South American flhll ntriiia I>l-,.aon? in,linnlinn<! the food administrator believes, that the food situation, particularly* In England, France and Italy, will force the United States to use its ships to send food instead of soldiers. l'lans for the second draft would be affected by any postponement of the removal of the first increment from camps, but since the camps' capacity is much greater than thoir present assignments, it would not be necessary to delay the draft until the camps are actually emptied. AMERICAN FIGHTERS \ CROSS WITHOUT LOSS With the American Army in 1 France, Nov. 11 (By the Associated Press).?General Pershing said to the I correspondents today: "Troops and supplies are arriving in increasing number." ^ Thanks to the French, British nnd American navies, he continued, '? submarine to date has not claii. the life of a single American soldier on the troop ships hound for France. The French officers, he said, were enthusiastic over the character, intelligence and eagerness of the young officers who are arriving in France to continue their instruction and the ? American army is proud of thcrn. NOTICE OF EXECUTION SALE State of South Carolina, County of Chesterfield. Court of Common Pleas. J. E. Huestess, plaintiff, vs. M. B.
