AIR PLANE LANDS
AT WADESBORO
pat_ An airship enroute from Columbia
an,l to Dillon last week got lost, passing
par- over Chesterfield late in the afternoon.
Owing to the approach of night
a landing was made near Wadesboro,
just beyond the depot there. The ship
Four 'n binding ran >nto a ^turnp and broke
lp. the propeller. If a landing field
had been available the ship would
R. I. have stopped at Chesterfield over
that njght. The fair association is going
jq ICe to construct a landing field and race i
i track, the field inside the track, and
' if if some of our dealers will carry

uires as a'rP'ane engines use, then freVis

NEW YORK HEALTH ii
COMMISSIONER ANGRY OVER 1
INCREASED PR1CS OF COFFINS (l
r
a
The following communication by t
the National Cu.^ket Company has u
aroused the indignation of Health i
Commissioner Copeland of New
York: "Because of the sharp rise t
in the price of lumber and the in- f
crease in cost and ahortage of textiles,
both cotton and silk, we are v
compelled to again announce an ad- t
vance in prices." \
In commenting on this increase in j
view of the great number of deaths i
from the influenza Dr. Copeland said: t
"This is shameful. 1 am very much e
grieved to have placed in my hands f
this announcement. It seems to me
there is no excuse for this and I shall f
turn the matter over to the Federal v
authorities for investigation." s

Hit at Leap Year Banquet t'
a
Clinton, S. C., Jan. 28?(Special) 1
?At a Leap Year Banquet given by P
the business and professional women n
of Clinton on the evening of Janu- b
ary 27th, in the Commercial Club
Rooms in this city, about two hundred
banqueters being in attendance, Mr. r
J. Irvin Coleman, Superintendent of v
the Piedmont Laboratories, Inc., was w
one of the leading entertainers. He|^
has a magnificent baritone voice and P
was down on the program to sing his tl
favorite song, "pear Old Pal of t<
Mine." The announcement of this n
number was met with enthusiastic u
applause. On the rendition of the
song the encore was so insistent that 'f
Mr. Coleman was forced ,but having tl
no other music at hand he repeated
the air only, chungtng the words to
an original ciuatrain expressive of his o
enthusiasm over the merits of one tl
of the articles manufactured by his h
company? fi
Dear Old Eucapine tl
"Oh, How I need you, Dear old Eucapine,
Each night and day I use you good
old medicine. tl
May Eucapine save you, When the flu ?
o'ertakes you,
Then sweet dreams'll rest you using w
Eucapine." s<
Needless to say the audience re- n
sponded with a roar of applause, the
more enthusiastic because, owing to hi
the imminence of another Flu epi- ci
demic, most of them were using Eu- c<
capine as a protection against In- 01
fluenza infection.
Mr. Coleman thereby added to his m
reputation as an entertainer and at r?
the same time vindicated his right to m
tn equal celebrity as an enterprising ft
publicity man. Not many men can
ting in praise of a proprietary reme- y<
dy at a great social function and "get fi
away with it." If the reader of this ai
newsy advertisement would share the ?

tudience for "Dear Old Eucapine" it

ERIOUS UNREST AMONG
FARMERS THREATENS
THE FOOD SUPPLY
The Post Ofllcc Department at
Washington has received 40,000 relies
to a questionnaire recently sent
ut to 200,000 farmers in different
arts of the country asking for sugestions
as to the best method of cuting
down the cost of living. These
eplie8 Indicate that the agricultural
onditions throughout the country are
0 serious as to cause grave alarm re arding
the nation's future food suply.
It appears that thousands of
armers?because of the shortage of
arm labor; the comparatively low
rices which they receive for their
roducts and the high prices they are
ompelled to pay for clothing and
arm supplies of all kinds; and also
ecause of the long hours, hard work,
nd small earnings incident to farmng?are
planning either to reduce
he acreage cultivated so as to proluce
only enough to meet their donestic
needs, or to abandon the farm
altogether, thvjs seriously curtailing
He nation's food supply and causing
1 still further increase in the cost of
iving.
Some of the replies received by
he Post Office Department are as
ollows:
One farmer writes: "The time is
rery near when we farmers will have
o curtail production and raise only
vhat we need for our own use and
et the other fellows look out for
hemselves. Labor unions are njore
o blame for high prices than anyone
lse. People are trying to get pay
or what they don't earn."
"I almost fear a famine," another
firmer writes. "Farm holp every,
/here is flocking to the city, lured by
hort hours, high wages, and the
iromise of a good time. Some one. T
ear, is going to suiTer if this conlition
is not remedied shortly."
Another letter reads: "I sell butter
to the dealer for forty-five cents
pound and the same butter sells to
he consumer for eighty cents a
ound. In the distribution we lose
early half and we lose money on the
utter ut the first price. Such condiions
are causing farmers to leave
he farm by the thousands. We have
cached a crisis. You may ask what
re would do with the middleman. 1
rould suggest that it he arranged for
hem to go on the farm and help
roducc things. 1 understand that
hey might not relish working foursen
hours a day, but if we get by the
ear future there will have to be some
seful work done by every one."
A Missouri farmer writes that he
i working 240 acres without help and
hat hundreds of other farmers are
oing the same. He declares that
the place to start to lower the cost
f living is t?T"cut the high wages in
he city, which have called our farm
elp there, We need them on the
arm to help increase production, and
hen we can cut the cost of living."
Other farmers write:
If T it-~ * ? ' 1
? ? ?|uikiiik inv iiirm. wurK
:>urteen hours a day for $1, and let
ie middleman get the biggest shure
f ? Not me,"
"I have just finished figuring up
hat eggs, poultry, and cream that I
>ld last year brought me, and I will
ot be in business another year,"
"The trouble is the big pay, short
nuro, and good times offered by the
ty. All the young men of any ac>unt
go to the city and there are
ily a few old men left to farm."
"The time is at hand when the tarer
and the consumer must deal disct
with one another. The middlelen
get most of the profits while the
irmer does all the hard work." .
"To reduce the cost of foodstuffs
ou must first furnish farmers with
rot class labor at reasonable wages,
id, second, you must eliminate thou?nds
of middlemen who are robbing
te people wholesale."
"The trouble is the price of everydng
the farmer has to buy is gping
p and the quantity he can raise and
kit on the market is steadily going
jwn,"
