SFRVlr-r ?rr?? !??/?? 1 DISTRIBUTE SUGAR s The War Department has sold to the United States Sugar Kqualizntion Board 37,000,000 pounds of refined sugar. This sugar will be placed on the market at once to relieve the shortage that is being caused largely by hoarding. George A. Zabriskie, President of the Bourd, declares thai there is plenty of raw sugar in the country and that the price should not , be above f 1 cents. The refineries are now working night and day und their combined output is 41,175,000 pounds daily. The refineries have not sent a pound of sugar ubroad in two wcekty , and will not vend any until tho home | market is supplied. < "Sugur in abundant in the United \ States and if it were not for profiteers and nervous housewiv.es encouraged < .to hoard it there would be enough for < every legitimate demand and a thirty- ? day reserve supply in addition," dc- I clarcd Mr. Zabriskie. "The chief factor in thin apparent 1 shortage, which is temporary, is canneries and confectionery factories which failed to anticiputu tneir nor- " ^ mal demands and held off ordering W their sugar in the expectation that t price* would be lower. Tbey knew c the refineries could not sell above the j %*ed price of U cents. Another ele- I . merit that us yet hus not uiTccted I the situution is the marine workers strike, which we hope will be settled I b 'OTe the entire ileet of sugur ships ( is tu d up in Alluntic and Gulf ports.

It was but the |< work of u moment, three or four { hours to be exact, to load up und get ,| back to Chesterfield with u ton und a half of crushed ice. Why crushed? j; Well, the boys explained, that not y wishing to remain away from home .over night, they threw her into high \ and raced back at a speed of ten miles an hour. No well regulated and prop- r erly constructed ice cake can stund c such speed over the Chesterfield- Cheruw road. -However, ryj. a safe speed u of two or three miles un hour the ice ,, would have melted, so it is far better to have crushed ice thun melted ice. | The long deluyed cur urrived Wednes- i day morning. | WJspiraiT' WAS TALCUM : C 1 Therefore Irisist Upon Gen? uine "Bayer Tablets (t of Aspirin" 1 ; Million* of fraudulent Axpirin Tablet* wore sold by a Brooklyn ( manufacturer which later proved to j be cornpoxed mainly of Talcum Powder, "tyayer Tablet* of Aspoin,' the true, genuine, American made 1 and American owned Tablet* are marked with the safety "Bayer ( .

It was a deplorable and disgraceful affair, but so long us it was confined to the church yard it wuh nobody else's business. Already three street fights have resulted from it and feeling among good men is running high. The factions are almost equally divided and one must admit that some of the best people the country affords are on each side. Not only the church is boing split; is already split. The breech is widening and serious trouble may ensue. PROTRACTED SERVICES Rev. (ieorge F. Robertson, of I'jneville, N.

KAlt KlUlb IN CHICAGO TWENTY-FOUR ARE KILLED IN CLASHES SINCE SUNDAY; NEGROES LEAVING FOR SOUTH . Race riots have broken out in Chicago. Reports sent out Wednesday placed the number of dead at 24. About 10 of thin number are negroes.

Thin Htarted a fight that let) to the negro quarters o the city, where one person of each color was killed. The bluck belt of Chicago comprises '25 square miles and contains very few whites. On Monday the trouble started anew and has been raging ever since. Seven persons were killed on that day and night. Tuesday rioting broke otit in various arid distant localities. Twenty and thirty lights were going on at once, thus keeping the police in patrol wagons most of the time. The Mayor called on the Governor and (5,500 troops were sent from v:..r;?..c...i.i i... .uui wtTU DO! USOlI except to lie in readiness if wanted. 'I polfce claimed to be able to bundle the Mituation. It is thought that the worst of the trouble in over. However the militia will be kept in the barracks until there is no further liklihood of clashes.

They were buying tickets to points south of Mason and Dixon's line, most of them for Nashville and Memphis. GOOD LORD! CRIED THE WOODCHUCK Cole L.

Vllllll?K<! is possessed l?y the grower who in times of depression can ware- j house his cotton, borrow on the receipts and wait patiently on the Lord und vindication. The waste and folly of leaving cotton out in the weather have also been illustrated in the thousand cases Ibis season. Just for example, take the case of a farmer whose experience we have just heard of. He left five bales of cotton out in the weather last fall, I and when be went to sell it recently, I 40(1 pounds bail to be picked off as rotten cotton and sold for ten cents a pound. In other words, he got only $40 for this 400 pounds when he should have gotten $120, his loss being $ HO. He also bad to pay $f> a bale for picking ond repacking the cotton. Loss, $2f>. Total loss on these two items, $10<r>, or $2 1 a bail, that be. invr about as much as a whole bale sold for twenty-live years ago! "And it is probable," said our friend who witnessed the transaction, "that the farmer also bad to take a half cent a pound less for the rest of the cotton than he would hove recieved for it i/ it hud been properly stored."

SUGGESTION FOR CHESTERFIELD COUNTY When recently the Bergen County, New Jorsqy, Freeholders spent $ I ,000,000 for good roads they had no thought that the public would want to lance on them to the exclusion of motoriata. Hut this has huppened and scorea of clubs and aaaociutions have .taked for party permits to be held on the roads. The board met and debated the question. It was decided to issue the permits provided each municipality would sign an agreement to pay damages caused by uutomobilists who met with accidents on detours m^de necessary by cutting off the main roads for dancing purposes.

The condition of the cotton crop in South Carolina is placed at <57 per cent, of normal by the experts employed by the American Cotton Association. The report says: "The oilton plant is in a very sappy condition three or four weeks late and with its diseased root system is very susceptible to adverse conditions. The boll weevil has done the Kieatest dains?KC of its career ami, owinp to scarcity of labor, what remains of the crop will be the most, expensive tu harvest in the history of the industry. PI.yfNT TURNIPS NOW ADVISES COM MIS ION EH That, the corn crop is i n k to he short this year is a settled fact, aceorduiK to Commissioner of Agriculture Harris. In the South the acreage usually devoted to corn has I tfiven way somewhat to cotton iiiol tobacco, while in the Went wheat ham taken up a tfreat ileal of the former corn land. The result of ai scanty of corn in the South will mean hitfh priced meat, laa fact meat and provisional will con tinue to rise in price, asserts Mr. liar ris, until the farmer raises more food ICarly in the season the Southern far liters were entreated to plant more corn, hut it was not done and, now, of course, it is too late. However, there is one thirty the farmer can do. It, is now the season for sowing turnips and by planting large a reus to this succulent vegetable the shortage of corn need scarcely he noticed. On well prepared land a yield of 25 to "to ton . of turnips can harvested on each acre planted. There is no better winter food for live stock than the t rnip. H will furnish one half the rations for cattle and hogs and at a small part of the expense of i;ruin. Says Mr. Maris: "I consider one acre sown to turnips worth $150 to any farmer who has four cow:; and a dozen hogs or sheep. ISrood sow: and crowing shouts can be kept all winter on what turnips they can cat in addition to one ear of corn at feeding twice a day. Any farmer and every farmer should have turnip; ready to hepin to feed l?y November arid should have plenty to keep feed inp until April. "Under such-Conditions brood sows will lie in lietter condition lor lireed inp purposes and will have larper Idters of pips; will have better sue blips than if kept on hiph protein feed all winter. Wh ri the mows farrow proteins must he increased. "If a milk cow is fed half a bushel of turinps a day you will find that it will iiiuicrially increase tli flow of her milk more than if she ih fed on cottonseed niciil and hulls, and the turnips cost hut half. "The above statements are not theories, hut facts. I have tried this i plan and I know. "A preat thinp in favor of turnips is that in the eastern part of the State they may remain in the pround all i winter without danper of freezinp. i Our ordinary cold weather will not hurt th?m.
