THE SENTIN EJOURNA. Elutered April 28, 1908 at Pickeus, 8. 0., as second class matter, under act of Congress of March 8, 1879. VO.1XVI ICSINSL SOUTH CAROLINA; THURSDAY, DICUBME 12 1907 .2? DO NOT KNOW CA Modern People Have N Diseases, Accordi Does human health depend on one organ alone? This question is becom lug widely discussed since L. T. Cooper first advanced his theory that the stomach is the true seat of life and all health dependent upon it. Mr. Cooper, who has met with re markable success in the sale of his new medicine, believes that the stom ach is responsible for most sickness, and that this organ is weak in the present generation. While discussing this theory recently, he said: "I am asked time and again to tell why my medicine has made such a record wherever I have introduced it. My answer always is, 'because it restores the stomach to a normal condition.' No one will deny that today there are more half-sick men and women than ever before Nothing critical seeps to be the matter with them. They are just half-sick most of the time. They don't know really what is the matter with them. I have talked with thou sands during the past two years, and few knew indeed what their trouble was. One said nervousness, another a ,aid kidney trouble, another liver com plaint, some constipation, or heart trouble, or luig trouble. Many had treated, as they called it, for most of these diseases at different times. A very common complaint is 'all run down,' or 'tired all the time,* or 'no appetite.'" "I know positively that every bit of this chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble, and nothing else. My New Discovery puts the stomach in sound condition in about six weeks.

That is why my me& icine is selling at such a tremendous rate. I have convinced many thou sands of people that these things are so, and the number is growing by; leaps and bounds." Among more reccnt converts to Mr. Cooper's beliefs is Mr. Edgar L. Hinds, living at 6 Tappan Street, Everett, Mass. Mr. Hinds has this to say on the subject: "I have sufferea with stomach trouble for eight years. I was not sick enough to be in bed, but just felt bad all the time. My greatest trouble was that I always telt tired, would get up in the morning feeliur as tired as when I went to bed. "I had a very irregular appetite, and was troubled with dizzy spells. If I stood for any length of time, I would have a dull pain in the lower part of my back. I was nervous and felt all the time as though something terrible was going to happen. . I tried many kinds of medicine, but nothing ever helped me. 'I had about given up all hope of ever being in good health again, when I heard so much of Cooper and de. cided to try his medicine. I took one bottle of his New Discovery and was greatly surprised at the result I gained 12 pounds in a few weeks. I can now eat anything I wish. and feel like a new man. I cheerfully recom mend this medicine to all sufferers from stomach trouble." It is worth anyone's time, who to not enjoying good health, to learn of Mr. Cooper's wonderful preparations.

Now, what are smue of the facts about this product of the farm tha the Saturday Evening Po.t alleget has so demoralized American filance 1 The probability id that the crop will not exceed twelve million bales. In an interview in Atlanta, some months ago, the president of the Internation. al Spinner's Association, who was also President of one of the largest mill interests in England, admitted that English mills had sold thei output of cotton cloth on an average of sine imonths or mre, on a basis of fifteen cents per pound for cotton. This being the case and there is no reason to doubt the statement, who is entitled to this extra margin of five cents per pound, between recent pri coo, and the prices at which the mills h.ave sold their output at a profit? The cotton farmer can pay tte ad vanced. price for cotton cloth, manu fa3tured on a basis of tifteen cents Ver pould, but if he dans refuse lo dump his cotton on the market, at a los of five cents a pound to its ac kuowledgedI vaiue, you brand his ronduct as "reprehensible." And this you think has brought American finance to the bink of ruin? A glance at the figure will show the absurdity of your statement, A private crop etstimate circulated on N. Y. Exchange Nov. 29, placed the yield this year, at 10,388,000 On the same date the Liverpool Cotton Ex. change estimated the crop at 11,935, 000 bales. If this is near the marl and it is safe to say that it is full,thii crop is short of last year's crop b3 more than 1.500,000 b des. Cottor brought into sight up to Novembei 30, this year amounted to 4,300.00( against 5,700,000 same time last yea Allowing for the shortuess of thil year's crop haq.xnt cotton been war. keted at about ia n>irmal rate. The one trun. thing that your did 'sat, by inferrence, that exported do( ton alone adds to the vulume of currency. Uotton sold and consumed at hoamm simply takes the moiiey out of one man's pocket and puts"it in te p cket of another. Now let us see how the exports stand. The to tial exports from Sept. 14t to Nov. 30 .f this iear amotintei to 2,377,000 bales tagainat 2.878,000 bales same period last year, There is an ap. proximate d florence of half a million hales aor say 500,000 Does anybody believe that the financial base of this country could ha shaken by a balance of trade of 25.000,000 f ,r or against us, when our export trade runs u inito billions? You have no wvord ot censure for the money sharks who withdrew their money from circula tion, but the farmer who will not sacrifice his cotton, at less than its vsnine to coax this r'ooney freom its hiding, is guilty of 11 ep thensible con doet If the planter, tinlike other free American citizens, as you sav', I) US eliminate "merely persnal. gain)," in disposma of his product may he niot at least look to the preatest public "o (1?
