BROWN'S DRUG STORE, Below Bank of Manning. Manning, S. C. Some Timely Dont's Don't fail to select your seed this fall. Corn, soy beans, velvet beans, peas and peanuts should be selected and carefully stored. Seed may be scarce next spring. Don't fail to plant cabbages-while the fall crop is large, it i? thought there will be a heavy demand for the spring crop. Don't fail to make your arrangements for seed potatoes. If Maine seed are used, have them shipped as early as safety will permit, so as to avoid possible transportation congestion. Don't. fail to plant a few acres in wheat, and then plant other cover crops such as clover, rye and- vetch. Don't fail to lay up stock feed for winter' use. Fill the silos, cut sorghun) and peavine hay, cut lespedeza for hay and seed. Don't sell your work stock. They are necessary for working farms. Don't fail to look over your live stock carefully. Select those animals which are productive and which ought to be kept, and sell those which are unproductive. Prepare the cull animals for early market, and save the room and feed for good stock. Don't sell brood sows. Since the beginning of the war the number of swine in all countries has decreased. In France, for example, in the three years just before January 1, 1917, the number of swine decreased 38.12 per cent; during 1915 the number in Germany decreased 31.47 per cent. Breeding stocks are being depleted and the situation is aheady critical. The possible in crease from one sow is 1,002 pigs in four years, on the supposi tion that all litters consist of six pigs, that all live, that half are females, and that each gilt should farrow at one year and every six months thereafter. Don't sell any heifer calves for slaughter; there is going to be a world shortage of cattle, and this country will have to supply the wvorld's needs after the war. Don't fail to write us if you think we can be of service. We are in erestedl in everything that has a tendency to develop and impro e our agricultural production and marketing systems.

RAILROADS FACE GREATEST TASK IN, THEIR HISTORY During the coming winter, the rail roads of tWe United States will face the greatest transportation problem in their history. The war has created demands that have increased the railroads' burden 1virtually over night by millions of tons of freight.. What Increased Railroad Service Means. Some conception of what this in crease means may be gleaned from the fact that the additional service which is being demanded of the rail roads thip year, is equivalent to car rying 120 billion tons of freigth one mile. This increas6 alone is more than the combined freight traffic for one year of Great Britaii, France, Austria, Russia and Germany. - Moreover, the railroads will have to hantdle it with facilities that, frankly speaking, are inadequate. Cars, loco motives, terminals and all the other equipment and track space that is needed to handle the increased freight trafic that a war almost simultan eously produces, cannot be built over night. To make the situation more diffi cult, practically all the steel which can be spared for the construction of locomotives and cars has been appro priated for use abroad either by the United States or by our Allies. As a result, the railroads of the United States must face their task with practically no' increase in equipment. Despite conditions, the railroad army is not pessimistic. It is, on the contrary, still on tip toe. for its fight to control the tremendous traffic that has.'been so suddenly thrust upon it. But all railroad men now recognize that to keep pace with the ever in creasing transportation demands of the country, the railroads will not only have . to increase their own ef forts, but they must count upon the shippers, the consignees and the pub lic as a whole to increase the co-ope ration which they have so generously given the .railroads since the United States entered the war. Some Examples of Intensive Loading Perhaps the best way to show the value of the shippers' co-operation is to cite a few concrete examples of what has been accomplished by in tensive loading. For example, the shippers along the Burlington Railroadl during the first nine months of this year saved the use of 59,387 freight cars by loading the cars more heavily than in pre vious years. The Anacopda Mining Company, from October 1st to 15th inclusive, forwarded from Anaconda, Montana, 9,423,900 pounds of copper in cars whose capacity was 8,570,000 pounds, thereby using almost ten per cent more than -the marked capacity of the cars. Cotton Shippers Saving Cars. Cotton, which was formerly moved in units of 50 bales, now moves only in units of 65 and 75. As there are eighteen million bales to be moved by rail each season, the increase in the trade unit in this one commodity alone has produced a saving of any. where from 83,000 to 125,000 cars. Sugar, on which the carload mini mum from the South was formerly only 24,000 pounds per car now moves on a 60,000 pound~s car-load minimum, and it is the same with other conm mod ities. In the handling of' less than car load freight for the month of July. this year, seventy-seven of the lead ing railroads increased their load per car nearly 20 per cent over July last year, thereby saving the use of 114,109 cars. Great Opportunities Still Left. These are real accomplishments, but the opportunity for others to doC likowise still exists. D~uring the entire period of the war, food, munitions andl material must be kept nioving steadily to the sea boardls. Lumber must be kept mov ing to the ship yards. Meni must be kept moving to the cantonments, aviation fields an-l other training camps, and all of these movements, in so far as is p)ossible, must - be made without serious interference with the regular commercial traffle of the country. Railroads Must Increase Their Own Efficiency. To do this, the railroads must in crease their own efficiency. They cannot rely altogether on the things which the shippers may do. As Chairman of the Railroads' War Bo-rd, I feel that I can state that this increase in efficiency will be accom plished, as to (late there has been no disposition on the part of any mem ber of the railroad army, from track 'man to general mahanger, to do any thing but give his best to the work that is so essential to our winning the wvar.

The co-operation that we ask from the general public is harder to ex plain. What we need above all is a thorough understanding of the nag nitude of The transportation problem and the necessity for public co-opera tion in the solution of it. Why Passenger Trains Were Elimi nated. We want the public to understand that passenger trains have been elim inated for one purpose only--to save equipment, man power, And track space that is absolutely needed to handle the tremendous increase in freight transportation that the war has produced. We want the public to understand, too, that every effoit that the indi vidual family makes- in any form of conservation will hel) in the solution of the transportation problem, as well as the other economic war problems of the United States. By using food and fuel economical ly, by refraining from the use of things that are unnecessary for a 1healthy existence, by foregoing luxu ries which demand rail transporta tion, and by supporting the movement against the use of freight cars for hauling non-essentials, the people as a whole will lessen the burden of the railro-ids and thereby make it pos sible for them to render more and better transportation service for the troops, munitions of war, food, fuel and all the other commodities that must be properly distributed both in our own country and in the countries of our Allies, if we are to carry this war to a successful conclusion. .RAILROADS TRANSPORT 1,500,000 SOLDIERS Washington, D. C., Nov. 24.-Troop movement figures to date indlicate that the railroads of this country have safely transported approximate ly 1,500,000 soldiers to rtaining camps and embarkation points since August 1st, accordling to a statement just madle public by Chairma n Fair BACKING UP PROOf The Kind That Manning People Cannot Decny. IMary. an earnest Manning man or woman has publicly endorsed D~oam's Kidney Pills. Week after wecek, month after month you've readl their sta tements. Would these Manning people ree ommend any medicine if it w"ere not goodl? Would they conIi rm and repeat their statements after years had passed ? Local proof is good evidence. Testimony confirmed years after is better evidlenee. The followig Manning woman's statement leaves no room for dloubt. It must convince every kidney suf ferer who reads it. If your back aches-if your kidneys are weak, profit by what Mrs. R. L. Logan says: "For a long time, I had been troubled wvith my kidneys. I suffered from a lame and aching back and didn't rest well nights.I usedl a box of D~oan's Kidney Pills andl they relie,'ed me wondlerfully.I am feeling much better now." Keep) Dean's On Hand.

Y.-adv. fax Harrison, of the Railroads' War Board. Five hundred thousand of these men have made journeys neces sitating overnight travel and have been moved in tourist or standard sleepeis furnished by the Pullman Company. On one of the long hauls, 8,000 men wera moved from a training camp on the Western Coast to a point on the Eastern Coast, a distance of 3,700 miles in a little less than a week. The men travelled in sixteen sections, each section comprising 12 tourist cars and 2 baggage cars. In order to centralize the furnish ing of sleeping cars at points most convenient to the government and to utilize these cars to the best advant age, the Pullman Company changed the supervision of the supply an l movement of these cars from the headquarters of the company at Chi cago to Washington, where they sta tioned C. W. Henry, assistant to the superintendent of car service.

To assure the safety of the :nen in transit, the railroads have ado)ted an average speed of 25 miles an hour for all troop trains except when freight cans needed for the transpor tation of equipment are included in the trains. The speed is then re iuced to 20 miles an hour. What is LAX-FOS LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCA:-A A Digestive Liquid Laxative, Ca'tartic and Liver Tonic. Contains Cascai.
