JUNE 26. 1913. To Holp Iho Farm or*? If the bill of Senator Smith, of South Carolina, introduced last week, becomes law, millions of dollars now held in the federal treasury will be distributed throughout the cotton growing States to be loaned by the banks to the farm ers of this section. Shortly after the close of the War be tween the Sections, the federal govern ment seised and sold a vast amount of Southern cotton for federal taxes Al though the order was later declared un constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States and many bills have been introduced in Congreea looking to the disbursement of this fund, no prac tieal method for getting the money from the transury to pay the persons or heirs of thoe^ whose cotton was aciied hai heretofore been found MiaaSor Samth a bill provided that the “money be distributed among the banks ef the said States according to the ■mewat ef the pm ana da of the cotton seised within amd State, provided that •nch beaks as receive the deposit shail famish such security as may be re quired by the secretary of thr tress ary," and that any pert of laid monn may be recalled at aay time by the see retary of the treasury upon proper notice to liquidate any properly adjudi rated claim for seized CbflVt." Should the bill become law the money wfH be ef great benefit to the cotton growers in the financing of their crop and Senator South will have again dem anstrnted that he w a fnend ef the fermers of the South and that he is continually exerting himself in their behalf Here's hoping that he will get his bill Governor Blesses interview, in which he stated that he will instruct his constables on duty in Charleston and at the Isle of Palm* to watch the editors when they meet down there thia week to ace if they buy liquor from blind ti gers and to report to him any who of fend, so that he may publish their names, is taken tiy many to be a pre meditated inault to the followers of the Fourth Estate. Whether or not it was meant as such we are not prepared to say, but it certainly looks peculiar that the South Carolina Press Association should be singled out of all of the meet ings that are held in Charleston and its members spied upon. As a rule it has been the newspapers of the State that have led the war on blind tigers and that the editors should have special constables set to watch them to see that they do not break a law that they have- been trying to uphold is casting an aspersion upon their honesty of purpose to say the least of it. However, the governor’s edict will not effect this scribe. Being in theory and in practice an abstainer we will be able to manage very nicely on <( soda-pop until we get beck to Barnwell’s artesian water. • That was s particularly and peculiarly significant plea ipede bj the alleged biiod tiger Friday night, who, when arrested by the town authorities, is Mid to have asked that he be allowed ft “take the whiskey back where ha whiskey in Barnwell County. As the trip to and from this “base'' was made with a horse and buggy in the short space of a few hours, it would not take a Sherlock Holmes to deduce that it is not far distant from the county teat. The town authorities are doing all that they can to atop the illegal sale of whiskey, but their efforts are necessari ly confined to the incorporate limits of the town. It would seem that it is up to the county officers to look into the matter. The county is paying out $3,000 a year to its four rural police men and we believe that this is one of the duties incumbent upon them. We trust that they are not derelict in the performance of their duty. Some tan- * gible-results would prove acceptable to the taxpayers, however. The editor has learned that “the lid will be put on” at the Isles of Palms the 26th and 27th, and he has decided not to go.—Newberry Observer. We hope that Editor Wallace will change his mind. We have been look ing forward with a great deal of pleas ure to making his acquaintance. He was, we believe, a college mate of our good friend, the late Major John W. Holmes, and a man very much like the Major in many respects. Reconsider, Brother Wallace. Don’t let the uncalled for orders of Blease be the means of causing “the boys” to have to forego the pleasure of meeting you again. When we commented a couple of weeks ago on the practice of some peo ple in going into a newspaper office and asking for a paper gratis we ap parently voiced the sentiments of a number of the brethren in this State In another column today we publish an editorial from the Edgefield Uhrmcle, which goea into the subject a little deep er Our contemporary ta nght and we heartily endorse hi* view* on the »ub- ject of free advertising According to The Uolumbia State the three moat unfathomable things in the world are a woman, a doctor » prrscnj»- tion and a Chinese laundry ticket Au gusts Chronicle What about a woman a gasoline en gine and a mule' It seems to u« that that combination is hard to heat Foolish question So 3M#24o ' U it j hot enough for you * ' Vary Cwrrwct. The Barnwell People tayt ' People who would neser think of walking into a store and asking the merchant to give them a spool of thread or a paper of pint think nothing of go«ng into k newspaper office and taking for a copy of the paper, which it merely a part of the publisher » stock in trade. But such things hap pen with ua almost weekly If the paper la worth reading it is worth pay mg for Surely the laborer is worthy of his hire ' Correct is the position taken by The People, but, it does not go far enough A great many people not only ask for a copy of papers, but ask for a vast deal of advertising space for various purjioses free and do not like it if it is not given. A newspaper's space is its stock in trade, and to ask for it free is just the same as asking a merchant to give you his goods. The owner has to pay for setting up all advertisements and notices, yet he is asked to give free notices and free advertising for many purposes, while those same per sons who ask for it would not dare go into a store and ask for free goods. There is no more reason why a paper should give its space away than the merchant should give his goods away. County papers do more charity work than any other class of business; and they get less thanks for it.—Edgefield Chronicle. Advertised Letters.

Notice to Magistrates of Barnwell County Notice is hereby given that I, W. L.

When it becomes necessary for an inquest to be holden in any part of the County, it is the duty of the magistrate who is near est the murder or homicide, or any other person who may have the matter in charge, to notify me, and upon said notice 1 will be upon the ground in proper time or notify some magistrate to hold the inquest.

I' You Need a Tonic There are times in every woman’s life when she needs a tonic to help her over the hard places. When that time comes to you, you know what tonic to take—Ordui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs, and helps build them back to strength and health. It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak, ailing women in its past half century of wonderful success, and it will do the same for you. You can’t make a mistake in taking CftRDUl The Woman’s Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark., says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth, for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.” Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.
