FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS i NOT CALLNG COTTON LOANS b I have been advised that there is an V impression among some of the farm- f era. of the State that the Federal Re serve Bank is calling loans on cotton e and is refusing to make new loans on a that form of collateral. I also saw in t the News and Courier of June 8th a i letter from Congressman Stevnson in 0 which he is quoted as follows: "The embargo on shipments of cot ton on railroads was followed by the calling of all loans on cotton bj the banks. "The cotton is becoming more val :iabl", and the only reason for a de sire to call the loans is to force a suf- a ficient amount .n the market to de- h ress the price, which can only add to o the 300 per cent profit already being made by the manufacturers.' Such a statement from so respons ible a source has undouotedly tended I to strengthen the above impression as it is not reasonable to suppose that the South Carolina bankers who have b-een so heartily cooperating with the farmers for the advancement of ag ricultural interests, should almost y over night change their policy unless forced to do so by action of the Re verve Bank. I recently had some correspondence C with the Governor of the Federal Re- d serve Bank of Richmond on the sub- c .ect of the financing of cotton. While 1 I have for a long time well understood il the policy of the Richmond Bank I '1 yished to have its attitude put down in black and white so th nt I could re- ti assure both farmers and bankers. o The following clauses appear in a a letter received by me from Richmond ci and dated Jtune 3rd: s "We have refused but one loan with v cotton as collateral, and that not es- r, aecially because it was on cotton sti against old receipts, but because the b Farms F Belo w wil be found descriptions o for. sale: TRACT 18-O.-Tract cof 100 acres, 1 1-2 In cultivation: 4-room a good neighborhood TRACT ] -u.--Tract of 160 acres, 75 West of Wedgefield of tenant settlement and TRACT 16-(+.--67 Acres. 175 to 200 ac miles Northwest of TRACT 18-(4.-373 Acres. 175 to 200 at South of Elliotts on ti house with good out-b neighborhood and will handling.

"You can rely upon it that we have een considerate, and will continue.to D so, and that noboaiy legitimately rititled to a loan against cotton and ho is not abusing his privilege will ail to get it." This direct statement from the Gov rnor of the Richmond Bank should sure everyone interested in the mat 'r. that the facilities of the Richmond ank are as always at the disposal of Lr legitimate business interests. The Reserve Bank does frown most ositively upon speculation and will at afford facilities for purely specu t.ive operations where it is satisfied r their nature. The carrying c.f a art of th. crop, however, for the pair r ew of distributing it during tie en r totton season and so mamtaining more uniform and equitable price as always been a legitimate f-metion F the Reserve Banks.

ELSE R, BROKER Sumter, 8, C. e Property, Timber Lands and sanna DOCTOR URGED AN OPERATION Instead I took Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound and Was Cured. Baltimore, Md.-" Nearly four years I suffered from organic troubles, ner vousness and head aches and every month would have to stay in bed most of the time. Treat menta would relieve me for a time but .my doctor was al ways urging me to have an operation. My sister asked me to try Lydia E. Pink b a m's Vegetable Compound be f o r e consenting t o a n operation. I took five bottles of it and it has completely cured me and my work it a pleasure I tell all my friends who have any trou;'le of this kin what Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Con pound has done for me."-NEWE B. IUTTIN;HAM, (09 Calverton Rd., Balti more, Md. It is only natural fo:- any woman to dread the thought of an operation. So many women have been restored to h"alth by this famous remedy, Lydia E. I'inkham's Vegetable Compoumi, after an operation has been advised that it will pay any woman who suffers from such ailments to consider trying it be fore submitting to such a trying ordeal, to save and to economize he will be disobeying the mandate of the Presi dent. It is unthinkable, when the wel fare and safety of our heroic soldiers md those of our Allies are depending an the support which is expected from those at home, that there is one loyal man or woman who will refuse to sign the W. S. S. pledge. "The public will listen with scant patience to the person who claims that he cannot afford to sign a pledge or who utters the thoughtless statement that there are too many campaigns. The public will not tolerate these two attitude. There is no man or woman in South Carolina who cannot invest it least $4.17, and the great majority an invest considerably mare in war savings stamps. Each individual will oe expected to pledge the maximum amount he or she can save during the year. As far as campaigns are con :erned, until the monstrous. German ower which planned and precipitated he most dreadful war which has ever. scourged the earth is shattered, there an not be too many campaigns. Un til we have rid the world of the curse Af German lust for power, we can ex pect and must welcome campaign af ter campaign for the cause of victory. "And because the W. S. S. campaign is a test of loyalty we know that every person in South Carolina will respond -will proudly enlist in, the army of savers which President Wilson has called for-will sign the pledge cheer fully and gladly, with a feeling of :leep gratitude that in this way we can partially requite the heroic sacrifices which our fighting men are making." -W-S-S THREE MEN ARRESTED Charged With Operating Liquor Still Near C'happells Newberry, .une 16.--Three young men of Greenvilleu County-J. C. Bates, Sam Montgomery and Ellis Robertson--have been arrested in greenville on a warrant issued by Sheriff Cannon G. Blease, of Ne'.ber' ry County, the men being -chargedl with operatijng a liquor still near (Chapells, this county. By an ordler from Sheriff Rector. the young men were called before the dratt board at Greenville. If they are not acceed for service in the army the mn wvill be turned over to the authorities of New berry County. The three men were employe-d at a saw mill near Chappeils, having von.e down from Greenville County for the purpose of working at this mill. Fin' ing in the neighborhood mn old still which had for yearse lain hidden away o n the premises of a resident of the community, the men took po:'session o fthe outfit without apprising the owner of their plans anti rigging it up in a secluded spot, they began the manufacture of moonsncn liquor. It was not long before Sheriff Blrase and Deputies Taylor and D~orroh were informed of the acts of the men andl a raidl was promptly planned. When the officers arrivedI on the spot, the men had removed the still and had left for parts unknown, noth ing hut several boxes of mash and other indications of the operation of a still being left for the officers. Hlow ever, the officers got possession o suf ficient evidlence to justify the swear ing out of wvarrants for the three men, which resulted in their ;,rompt arrest by Sheriff Rector, of Greenville. This is the only liquor still which is, known to have been operatedl in New berry County in recer~t years, ail though it is stated that other counties in this section of the 3tate have their manufac*turers of moonshine.

Wounded in action, 4,647.. . Moissing in action (iicliding pris oners), 346. Total casualties reported to date, 8,085. With more than 800,000 soldiers sent overseas, officials pointed *to the small number, 291, lost through opera ion of German submarines, as show ing the effectiveness of the convoy system. The men lost were on the torpedoed British steamers Tuscaiia and Moldavia. The comparatively small number of men dying from wounds is pointed to as indicating the efficiency of the am bulance and hospital systems, while the fact that only 1,234 men have died of disease is accepted as proof of the excellent physical condition of Amer ica's fighting men. Another satisfying consideration is that of the wounded men a very high percentage return to duty at the front in less than six weeks. Professional Cards.
