Friends Are Urging 11 lin-Personal Friends Issue Statement. Washington, March 1.-Congress man Wyatt Aiken, who will leave the House next Sunday at noon as the Representative of the Third Congres sional District, is threatening to throw his hat into the. political ring and announce his candidacy for tho United Stales Senate. A very close personal friend of Mr. Aiken has given out the follow ing statement : "For some time Congressman Wyatt Aiken has been receiving let ters from different parts of the State urging him to become a candidate for the United States Senate in the next campaign. Strong offers of support htive been made, and within the past few days heavy pressure has been brought to bear to Induce him to an nounce a decision. "The South Carolinians who are bore are awaiting Mr. Aiken's fina) decision With a great deal of inter est. lt is recognized that If he en ters the race he will bo a strong fac tor." Learning of this situation, efforts were made to stn? Mr. Aiken and gel a statement from him. Asked about tho matter, he said : "I am very appreciative of the many offers of support that have been received, hut I have not fully thudd ed wdiat I will do. There is plenty of time anyway. lt is rather early lo be making pledges. 1 will, in due season, let my friends know what to expect of me.' ' This was all that Mr. Aiken would say at tho present time, and nothing could he secured from him Indicating whether he means to enter the race in the event that Senator Tillman shall again announce himself a can didate. The woods are full of Palmetto State men who want to come to the Senate, but they are holding hack to see what Senator Tillman ls going to do. Sit Steady, Don't Hock the Boat. ( Home and Farm. ) With the announcement by Cer many of an unrestricted submarine campaign on ail classes of shipping after February 1, the price of cotton broko badly, in some cases amount ing to $2.r. a bale. Our advice to Southern farmers is to sit. steady in the boat and wait for the storm to .subside. Cotton is worth not a cent less than it was on Janu ary 31. Indeed, it is worth more to day than it has ever been, and any decrease in price ls a gambler's flc tion and not a true value. The nations of Eurolie must have American cotton--they can't wage war without it, they can't have peace without it. and they will pay any price to get it. Remember the panic of August, 1914, and how soon after that cot ton was selling at 20 cents. There is every indication that come peace or come war cotton will continue to Increase in value. .National Hank (.'ashier Short. Lancaster, S. C.. Feb. 28.-E. Cur tis Mackey, until last.

Prof. Hertzog This Pi DR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN AN IDEAL HEMEDV FOR CONSTIPATION. In every family there is more or less occasion for a laxative remedy. It is to meet this need that Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is prepared, and that this combination of simple laxa tive herbs with pepsin fulfills its pur pose is proven by its place in thou sands of American homes. Prof. F. J. C. Hertzog, the well known linguist, 2341 North Orianna St., Philadelphia, Pa., wrote to Dr. Caldwell that ne has used Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin in bis household with excellent results and that be and bis family consider it indeed a friend in need, and always keep a bottle of it on hand. Constipation ls the direct cause ol' much serious illness and is a condi tion that should never be neglected. Harsh cathartics and violent purga tives should never he employed to re lieve constipation, because the very violence of their action shocks the en tire system. A mild laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin ls far preferable, being mild and gentle in its action, without griping or other pain or discomfort; Its freedom from till opiate or narcotic drugs makes it an ideal remedy for children.

Oil Monday of last week Governor Manning appointed Wade Hampton Gibbes, ol' Columbia, chief gani?; warden, vice. A. A. Richardson, whose ! four years in the olllce expired on that day, according to thc view ol'the Governor. Mr. Gibbes at once filed his bond and made ready to assume tho duties of the ollico. Mr. Gibbes was at one time audi tor of Richland county and for four years was mayor of Columbia. Re cently he has boen in the employ of the Federal government as Indian agent, but gave this up on (he first of the year and returned to business in Columbia. The Audubon Society, of wurdi Dr. E. C. L. Adams, of Columbia, is . president, recommended Col. Rich ardson for reappointment as chief game warden, but the Governor de clined the recommendation. The Audubon Society stood by Col. Rich ardson. Under the present law the Gover nor appoints tho game warden on the recommendation of the Audubon So ciety, but the Governor holds that they must present a name which ts agreeable to the Governor and the Senate, and when they refused Lo send in another than Col. Richard son the Govornor went ahead with out any recommendation and named Mr. Gibbes. Tho hill which passed tho legisla ture, putting the election of game warden in the hand.: of the people and retaining Mr. Richardson lu of fice until that time, was vetoed by Governor Manning, and tho Semite adjourned without passing on the veto, thus having the same effect .is if the veto were sustained. it is thought that the matter will find its way into the courts for final settlement.
