In Advance. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1919. Open Political Seaton. We have open and close*! seasons for hunting in this state, but next summer will be the open season with politicians to hunt the votes of the dear people. We have a little curio sity to know just what sort of a poli tician the voters will select to fill this or that office. We have no choice in the matter, but we will feel a sense of pride or shame in the candidate selected by the people. About one eighth of the voters in Barnwell county make their marks on the club rolls instead of singing their names. Tk.

The time will come perhaps when we will adjust ourselves to industrial conditions that will not depend'on nogrp labor. .Now we are absolutely dependent on it in our industrial and economic life. Let ,us recognize the fact that the political agitator who would climb into office by an appeal to-race prejudice thereby strikes a blow at every business man, farmer, and home that is more or less de pendent on negro labor. If acute problems should at some future date arise between the races, don’t cross the ^bridge till wve get to the river. When we get there we are absolutely sure of the best efforts of both races. We have been rudely shaken otit of the easy going ruts of life. The candidates, we need for office are those who recognize that' the farm ers and business men face conditions of the boll weevil, of unsettled labor, of high cost of living, and of low 'market prices for what we sell. So far as legislation can accomplish this nve need laws that will put us on a good basis for business.* F . ~ I.

The best candidate for Barnwell county is the man recog nizes that we need to have people' who can do their own reading, writ ing, and arithmetic Some candidates have a long nose for smelling out rottenness, 'rtey would have the people believe that only by electing them to office can the county be saved from going to the dogs. Of course everything that depends on human hands must carry some imperfection with it. We do not believe that we need this sort of a candidtae just now when we are confronted with the problems which have arisen from the war. wh 1 *"might luLye-ckaned hitn out an* put his f/irm *di lji£. market. 0»i the ‘■<<n: i a i ImJa^ktiu ihtTfa^mer t o | render hi# auto m o M l« ft'iul Udl| cre«!it .fof it. Then he showed that while it was possible, to raised crop o,f cettoij if the seasons were all right, yet'it was hardly probable on account of the risks. He advised the farmer to plant his cotton acreage in peanuts and furnished the ssed. He told the farmer to bring the peanuts to him as he could market them to a better advantage. The result at the end of the year was that the farmer by his crop of peanuts paid his debts and bought him another automobile. What we need in Barnwell County is that we should have similar far seeing business men. As the matter stands now County Agent Boylston reports that he has bought eight car loads of peanut seed for Barnwell County. How far would eight car loads of cotton seed supply the plant ing needs of the county? We will all stand or fall together.,* PERSISTED MEDICAL SCIENTIST ALLENDALE NURSERY OPJENED. Tfr. F W. Cross, the. well-known nursery man, has recently opened tap in Allendale' with - a tomplete stock of fjruit, shade and nut trees, of which he is exhibiting some fine spe cimens for sale on Railroad Avenue adjoining the Advance office. Keep ing the young trees in stock Will en able purchasers.to see with their own eyes what they axe buying and not trust in Providence and a mail -order catalogue when choosing trees fqr planting. Mr. Cross has been in the nursery business for a "numbr of years and knows how to pick 'em so they’ll live and grow, not petey out five minutes after they’re in the ground like those'advertised as guar anteed to flourish on the Sahara without water or fertilizer^ The Siamese Twins. Many years ago our fathers were greatly interested by the Siamese twins. These two people were joined together in such* a way that with two bodies- they had only one life-.—They were ’ born together, live*! together, and died within a few hours of each A S erious Situation. The coal strike which has been in operation since Nov. lst.7 is a serious syrhptom of the condition in w-hich we find ourselves. It is admitted that the ranks of the coal miners are ov ercrowded. It is also admitted that the owners of the mines have made from 15 to 2,000 per cent, profit in the last two years. While they are apparently ready to tear each others throats, yet both are perfectly wil ling to let the public pay the added cost of increased wages to the min er*. Christmas Seal Campaign. to rxtst- betweetr the- average small farmer on the one hand, and on the »ther the nierchaut, banker, and gen eral supply man whose chief busi ness is to supply the small farmer. It is the small farmer who keeps go ing the other classes. If the small farmer is hurt by the boll weevil the other business men will suffer from it.' . The last issue of the Hampton County Guardian contains a story that might well be laid to heart by our best business people. The arti cle is too great for our space. Mr. .1. A. Wyman tells of a case dear En terprise, Ala., of an average farmer whose cotton crop kept iwm alwayson the shady side of debt to his banker, t The long suffering public is tired of increasing price#. As long as the their part. That i- a finished story now. The great fact that confronts us is that (he 600,000 miners can close up schools, offices, stores, places of business. They can subject mil lions of the poorest of the people to the ogors of approaching winter, with no coal for fuel, or cooking. .They cat) curtail train* ami paralyze the industrial life of the whole nation. The situation is further shown by the fact that the law is helplftVs to .help. In spite of. a Federal injunction against the strike there is no coal,- and the miners are stiH out. The trouble lies in the laws which congress has made* at the command of organized labor.*. If we haven’t the laws to protect the helpless masses Endorsement of the Christmas Seal Campaign with wishes for its success has been made by President Wilson. The 'hrftddent expressed in terest in the knowledge that over •>,590,000 seals ..were to be sold be tween December 1st and December 10th under the auspices of the Na tional Tuberculosis- Association and its thousand allied organizations, the sum of $6,500,000 being necessary to follow out the budget program for the 1920 movement against tubercu losis. — Ninety-two per cent of all funds raise*! irt any state will be utilize*! there to make- f»»»-ibr<» Vb»-c**ntinu« ance of th^ work against the white plague.

Medical scientists have long known that the greatest single human fabric rebuilder is iron—the most powerful of all tonic agents-for the blood and the greatest^ known restorer of phy sical vitality. But, efficacious as iron is known to be, not every sufferer has hitherto been able to avail themselves of its potent healing and building power be cause iron tends to induce constipa tion. It has been true that iron was not assimilable to alj stomachs and for that reason many have suffered for years because their stomachs could not assimilate the very reme dial agent that their System would so quickly respond to. But science eventually wins and a method has at -last been discovered to combine an energetic vegetable i what Ferrolax is doing for others stored by the new- discovery, it would seem that many sufferers could flow turn to the new medicine with great hope. The new medicine has been named FERROLAX and the stories, already current, of its remarkable healing and restorative power in cases of blood and stomach diseases are caus ing thousands to inquire where this new and wonderful reconstructive tonic may be obtained.
