SOUTH CAROLllAf S iLlW
BRINGS COTTON LOAN FUND
TO SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION
An up-to-date remedy for
colds. That ss what Peruna
is. In successful use over
50 years.
Colds are caught In many
ways; Illy ventilated rooms;
rooms that have direct draughts ;
?crowded rooms; damp houses;
stuffy school rooms; offices illy
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
tim?, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin'is gener
ally sufficient. But after tru cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will bc necessary.

Secretary of the Treasury Mc?doo Announces
Completion of Plan to Furnish Aid to
Cotton Producers-Bernard M. Baruch, a
Former South Carolinian Subscribes Las?
Million Dollars to the Fund.
Federal Reserve Board Believes the Carrying Out
Of This plan Will Be Beneficial. Not Only in
Helping the Cotton and Foreign Exchange
Situations, But by Promoting the General
Prosperity of the Country.
1ERE WILL FARMERS
OBTAIN SEED WHEAT?
NOT ENOUGH IN THE COUN
TY FOR DEMAND
NONE AVAILABLE
But Few Planters Have More
Wheat Than Needed for Con
sumption and Planting.
"Whero will Anderson county far
mers get seed wheat enough to sow"
was the question asked last night by
ono well known business man while
a discussion was going on as to the
amount of wheat to be nlanted this
season by lucal planters. The speaker
wont on to say that practically the
entire available supply of seed wheat
In Anderson county has already been
exhausted and Anderson plantera
have not yet begun to sow wheat.
All told, not more than 10 or 12 An
derson county planters have over sow
ed wheat on an extensive scale and
each year they have been planting the
same wheat Of the few in the county
now sowing wheat tn any considerable
extent they have been using ? tho
same seod useQ by their grandfathers
for the last E0 vir 60 years and these
men had but little seed wheat to offer
for salo.
Throughout tho country the same
cry is being heard. "Seed wheat Is
scarce and we cannot supply the de
mand." Anderson county's supply ot
seed wheat seems to have been sold
out and when the planters prepare
to sow about 20 times as much wheat
in this county as was ever produced
here before, they will be up against
the proposition of finding seed enough
to plant '0i
To show that the situation is se
rious, Furman Smith, the Wholesale
seedsman, when seen yesterday and
asked by a reporter for The Intelli
gencer as to tho truth about wheat
being scarce, exhibited letters where
ho returned checks amounting to more
than 3400 during the last week : to
planters in the lower part of the State.
All of these planters desired seed
wheat for immediate use ~nd tho An
derson seed house could not fill their
ordors.
it is Bald that tris condition ls by
no means confined to South Carolina
and that other states are in the same
