We do not believe in miserliness in any form nor in commercial prejudice against the outside world, but nevertheless we say too much Chesterfield county money is going away never to return. The mail order catalogues that coma to this county every year cost thousands of dollars to produce. They would not come here if many thousands of dollars were not spent in return with those houses. We venture the assertion that nine-tenths of the goods bought from these houses could bo bought cheaper and to better advantage from a Chesterfield county merchant. The chief reason for those foreign purchases is this: The customer has In his home tho catalogue and price list of tho big store und therefore he knows he can get a certain article at a certain price. His local merchant may have it and at a lower price, but h<- doesn't know it. Of course the local merchant could send a part at least of his list of goods and prices every week into the homes of his prospective customers, and some of them do it, but most of them do not. Therefore the mail order. The argument of this editorial is: "T-? A _ _ . IX >i ii imuc at numi; an you can, even if you have to travel to your merchant and compel him by forcful mans to tell you what he has to sell in the line in which you are interested.

You may have a hard time to find out where some of these things are sold, but if your local patriotism is strong you would rather buy from a local man who pays taxes and spends his money in this county than to send your money away. The good book says that "Charity covers a multitude of sins," but it does not follow that a strip of red, white and blue bunting will cover a multitude of unpatriotic and disloyal utterances. The Pageland Journal changed hands last week, the Rev. R. S. Latimer having bought out the business nd assumed control. Mr. Latimer ?as been connected wth The Jourml for some time past and has given evidence of real newspaper ability. We cordially welcome Mr. Latimer as a full-fledged brother in the local fraternity. In the retiring of Mr. fucker the county loses one of the best newspaper men it ever had. WORKING FULL TIME President Wilson has been putting in full time and more on the big job of bringing peace to the world. He has been able to carry his points even when opposed in some cases by the brainiest men in Europe. He sue cceded in having the Monroe doctrine recognized, very much to the distrust of some of his American critics who fear they will have nothing left for which to abuse the President. It has been ascertained that the total c ualties of tho United States soldiers in the war with Germany amount to 2711,10.1. This includes those who were killed in action, died of wounds and disease and missing. Though small in comparison with the losses of our allies, it is a fearful price to pay for Germany's ambition to rule the world. | ? According to late cables the amount Germany is to pay the Allies is $5,000,000,000 in the next two years. This is in addition to a large sum to be paid yearly for thirty years. One of the kuiser's sons, Joachim Hohenzollern, is said to be coming to the United States to live. Somebody should inform his royal nibs that this climate is likely to prove unhealthful for him. i nc "On the Road to ; is nothing complicate ts the every requiremer you cant find the same \e Pilot Spi Protects Y 01 If You Die Supports Yo If You A re Disablei Provides For If You Live You Can Get >ut any obligation on my part, i -ticulara in regard to "The Pilot I . . Occupation - - --- : f 1 I r'j; OUR NEWEST PERIL A British chaplin tells of some o the horrible strocites of the Bo sheviki in Russia, attrocities that ar almost beyond belief. These wild anarchists start out wit the slogan, "we abolish God" an then establish their partnership wit the devil by the most diabolical out rages. They are opposed to all re iigion. Orthodox Roman Catholic and Lutherans alike have been tor Lured, multilatcd and done to deatl under the aegis of the holy revolu tion, which appeals to the prolgtaria of the whole world to join its forcer Before killing their victims the; cut off their limbs and some of ther they buried alive. In one cathedra the great figure of the crucified Chris was torn down and removed and i monstrous and appalling pagan fom placed in its stead symbolizing "free dom of mind." One army officer said: "In Russi: now there is no God, no czar, no law no property, no money, no foodonly freedom." And in that travest; of liberty which the whole civilizei world may shudder at, all mercy, pit; and toleration are alike scorned. Ant it is this new and wonderful equalit; of man which by means of torture outrage and assassinations proclaim the "freedom of mind and body" t< the devastated Russian nation. It is far from a comforting though that this horde of outlaws has it; apologists and in some cases its fol lowers in the United States. Can anyone object when the strong arm of the United States crushes ir the bud anv organization that nor takes of the nature of Bolshevism? HIGH PRICES TO STAY WITH US A New York banker, Mr. O. P Austin, in a recent address, claim: that high prices will not soon decline He asserts that the present higl prices are due to three causes. First, the urgent demand createc by the war, for food and raw materia for the use of the vast armies in th< field; second, the advance in wage: due to the increased cost of living third, the enormous inflation in th< world's currency caused by the vas quantities of paper money put ou by the leading countries.
