Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at Chesterfield, South Carolina. HIGH PRICES WILL REMAIN The Information and Education Service of the United States Department of Labor sent out to business men, bankers and others questions as to the probable course of future prices, and the replies received indicated that high prices will last a long time. Among the many replies was one from Mr. M. L. Raley, cashier of the Farmers' Bank of Ruby. Mr. Raley said: "In this section, with prevailing prices of cotton, our condition is about what it was in pre-war times. That is, we are in about the same con dition financially with 30-cent cotton as we were formerly with 10-cent cotton." "Cotton is king in the South and alfalfa is queen," says an exchange. A PLEASANT PROSPECT The government has 100,000 tons of nitrate that was to be used in blowing the Germans off the earth that will now be turned over to the farmers to raise more corn and cotton. This nitrate will be constructive instead of destructive?will be used on peaceful fields instead of battlefields. South Carolina can use any amount of this kind of ammunition. John Milton wrote, "Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war." With a good supply of nitrate our farmers will gain a substantial victory?a victory that means happiness and prosperity. WHEN JOB LOST HIS CA'IltNLb H. G. Wells, the novelist, has written a book that is somewhat of a parody on the book of Job. Mr. Wells, referring to Job's afflictions, intimates that he suffered more from the conversation of his three "friends" than from anything else. That man Bildad, the Shuhite, was the limit, and Eliphaz and Zophar were a trial. Job told them the truth when he said they were "miserable comforters." And he used this fine sarcasm on his three friends: "No doubt ye are the people and wisdom will die with you." He further rubs it in by saying "They have me in derision whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock." Mr. Well's idea as to the three friends of Job is not very far wrong. IGNORANT CHINA China, with a population of over 400,000,000, is one of the most back ward of all the races upon the earth. An instance of the gross superstition of the common people is shown by incident related by an American traveling in that country. Passengers on a boat on the Yangtze river saw a man floating with the tide, apparently drowning, with no attempt to rescue him. Asking why some of the natives did not try to save the drowning man he was told that "a man drowns because the river god wants the man. That it would not do to interfere with the plans of the river god." A special says that the army worm has attacked and partially destroyed the navy bean crop in the great bean center of Indiana. It is very odd that the army should attack the navy in this way. LITTLE HOPE LEFT FOR BEER AND WINE All attempts of the friends of beer and light wines to have legislation enacted in their favor have failed so far. It begins to look as jf the program of the prohibition party will be carried out on schedule time, in spite of all efforts to modify or to delay it. Certain defeat for efforts to have Congress exempt beer and wine from operation of the war-time prohibition law was seen in an overwhelming vote 65 to 11 in the Senate last week against an exemption proposal. By that margin the Senate tabled a motion by Senator Phelan, Democrat, of California, to add a rider to the agricultural appropriation bill for application of the war-time prohibition law to distilled spirits alone. The sentiment of the Senate thus expressed in the first test vote of this Congress was taken to sound the death knell for measures designed to permit use of beer and wines under the war-time legislation. \ ./V i 1 -gg MEMORIALS TO OUR HEROES D (The author of the following poem is well known in Chesterfield County) tY We raise the massive stone and on it n( carve a, Your names in reverence.

AYLIGHT SAVING MEETS ITS DOOM When the clocks are set back to le old time next October, they will ot be set up again, Congress having lopted measures to that effect. j The house after three hours debate y a vote of 233 to 132, passed a bill > repeal the .law on the last Sunday i October, but rejected an amendtent to make the repeal effective at nee. The senate by a vote of 56 to 6 Iter a brief discussion, added a rider > the agricultural appropriation bill hich it passed providing repeal of .e t'nyle?ht measure or. the same ate fixed by the house bill. The senate measure now goes to onference with the agricultural bill nd the house bill is to be sent to the enate. It is considered likely that le senate amendment will be finally ubstituted for the house measure, iction of congress therefore means ontinuation of the present closing ime this summer and early fall with eturn to. sun time October 26, endng two years' operation of the duyght saving plan. Members of both senate and house, j i advocating repeal of the law enactd March 19, 1918, said they were uided largely by wishes of farmers nd laboring men who oppose the adanced working hours during the pring and summer seusons.

In spite of the decision of Congress o strike from the satute books a leasure adopted in time of war there rill be nothing to prevent individuals r large concerns from voluntarily ontinuing in force the daylight-savig system during certain months of be year, where they find it to their dvantage. Local conditions will vary. In many ldustries and occupations by general greenient the hour for starting the ay's work will be advanced in the pring, while in others the practice f former years will be adhered to rom force of habit. The uniform;y established by law will disappear, ut beyond a doubt the effect of the xperiment that has been tried will e seen in a growing disposition to ave daylight from personal choice.

The ?JAN MOTOR C aO BROS., Pag( * SALVATION ARMY WILL RUN K1CKLESS SALOONS The saloons will not all go out of business in New York after July 1, although their most popular drinks may die n sudden death. Major Charles Welte of the Salvation Army is planning to make the saloons popular with mother,brother and sister, as well as father. The Army is preparing to take over several saloonR for this experiment, Major Welte said yesterday just as soon as convicnt. Major Welte says he will not remove he glittering mirrors the sturdy bars and the other accourtements. The contemplated new saloons will sell only temperance drinks, but the bartenders will remain, of course, says the Major. "Most of the bartenders are a fine lot," Major Welte said. "They have a strong opinion against liquor and I h ive no doubt they would be willing to help work out the temperance j idea. My idea of a neighborhood temperance saloon would be a place half restaurant and half saloon, with a meeting hall above. "The but room taken over should preferably have an established clien| tele, so we can step in July 1 and conI tinuc the business. We want to make our restaurants a place for family gatherings. Usually the wife stays at home in the evenings and cooks, the children run along the streets and the husband goes to the saloon. If the in igltborhood tcinperence saloon can g-L them all out together, we shall h ive accomplished our purpose." "Lo d knows what will become of the man with a craving for drink after July 1," says Col. William A. McIntyre of the Salvation Army. "The man with a powerful yearning for drink will require the closest sort of attention. For him the kickless saloon will hold no attraction. The man who drinks to forget his troubles is in the same fix. Same way with the man who drinks to put uncongeniel home life from his mind. By far the grouted number of frequenters of the saloon are the men with a natural yearning for companionship, however, and we believe these will go to our soft-drink place if it continues the traditional bar and mirrors." SOUTHERN BAPTISTS PLAN BIG CAMPAIGN Plans for the $75,000,000 campaign to be conducted by Southern Baptists were outlined at a confrence of members of the general Sunday School board of the church. \\ bile the $75,000,000 to be raised is to be paid within five years the c-u:il pledging of this sum is to be lone within eight days the period suggested being the last week in October or the first week in November. Representatives from 18 States included in the territory embraced by ihe Southern Baptist convention will meet in Nashville July 2 and 3, and will confer with 100 representative men and women from these States.

"I am Kind to recommend Tanlac because it helped my husband so m\ich," said Mrs. Beulah Loftis, of 13 East Man street, Woodside, Greenville, S. C., in a statement she gave in endorsement of Tanlac. "My husband suffered what he thought was malaria. He had some chills and .felt badly almost all the time. He ate almost nothing and complained a lot of being troubled with his nerves. Indigestion tnuavti inin a great aeai oi discomfort and he was restless at night. "His appetite returned soon after he began taking Tanlac, though, and his strength increased. He says he has not felt any indigestion pains since soon after he began tak'ing Funiac.
