" - Secretary Mellon is not very well known to the geperal public,. a fact uelargely to his. peculiar reticence. With him secrecyis. a foible. He is conriected in .a large way with some of the worst 'predatory .corporations in Amiorica, such as the Aluminum company of America, one of the greediest of the monopolies, but it is practically .impossible, after search iing' through all sorts of manuals, to learn, anything worth while of these companies, their income or their pro fits; they are' all well concealed. So it was in ,the days of John Barley corn, when Mellon was making a huge fortune out of whiskey and beer. Few are aware that the Mellon family wealth riyals that of the Rockefellers. In fact, it. is believed that the family controls about two bililons of capital -twice the amount of the national debt at the beginning of the war and also controlled the Republican machine bf Pennsylvania through the late Senator Penrose. Secretary Mel lon is an officer and director in banks and insurance companies wii resources of $860,198,641. He is an officer and director of -other compan ies having known assets of $753,480, 923. He is head of a family having a controlling voice in banks with re sburces of $18,845,310 more,.and cor porations with assest of $106,702,265 additional, making a grand total of $1,739,222.039. It is small wonder that'ha is satisfactory to the big in terests. Mr. Tincher of Kansas, in the exu berance of his soul, cried out in the House for a tariff tax of one thou sand per cent on importations from Germany. Mr. Mann of Illinois, who tries to keep his feet on the ground, said in reply: "Let there be a few more statements, on this side of the House that the Republicans are in favor of a tariff luty of one thousand per cent, and thei;e will not be ehough Republicans here to gather together in one aisle.

H. G. HASTINGS CO., SEEDSMEN, ATLANTA, GA. Mr. Frear of Wisconsin is a Re publican Congressnian; on page 832 of the Congressional Record, Jan. 3, he said. "Congress is repeatedly charged with unsoaking the rich while preparing to skin those least able to pay. Is that charge true? * * * In this session of Congress it is propos ed to pass a consumption or sales tax that will lay a new tax burden and increased prices on necessaries of life consumed by four to five millions of idle laborers and their families, on millions of farmers and other labor ers and their families who are now fighting for a bare existence, and on over three millions of ex-soldiers and their families, who are told the price of any compensation bill is a con sumption tax." And yet the Con gress has send 20 millions to Russia to feed people no more starving than millions here in 'the United States. DON'T LET THE BOLL WEEVIL BEAT YOU Columbia, Jan. 9.-This is "testing time in South Carolina, declared Alfred Scarborough, of Eastover, prominent planter and member of the organization .committee of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Co-opera tive Association today. , "There are some people in the state who seen disposed to give up and quit because of. the adverse con ditions due to-the tremendous drop in IUTH! mn of many igh lack of erally it is tion. Peo b their sur they need to mouth" savings ac Is that to .to open a soking for d ipany. &. WELLS, Cashier the price of cotton the past year and the invasion of the boll weevil," said Mr. Scarborough. "It takes a time like this to find who are real men and who aru not. The real men does not not give up but fights for the better day which must come. We need more of the spirit of "carry on" which our people displayed during the war. Al so we should think of the gloomy days of te sixties and 'remenber what our fathers and grandfathers and mothers and grandmothers lived through. ' They'did not give up. "I am glad to say that there are not many of those people who would give up in this state but there should be none. We are going to come out of this situation all right. The boll weevil has hit us hard this year but other states have survived his rav ages and we can do it in South Caro lina. "Personally I believe the organiza tion of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Co-operative Association the greatest forward step that the farmers of the state have ever taken. The successful formation of this as sociation will, I believe, open the doors of opportunity to the growers of the state. "It will give them opportunity to free themselves from the shackle{ of poverty and debt, and privation put upon them by an outlaw marketing system. "It will give them opportunity to break the bonds-of enforced obedien ce to the demands' of perpetual credi tors who own them body and soul even to the very clothes they wear and the food they eat. "It will give them opportunity to take their little children out of the cotton fields, away from the back breaking toil of other years and place them where they have every right to be-in school and colleges that they miay be moulded into cap able, intelligent men and women. "It will give them opportunity to give their wiyes and children a home fitted as every American home should be with modern conveniences; good clothes to wear and wholesome food to eat. It will give them opportunity to step out of the poverty of the past into the prosperity which is sure to result in the future from a stabilized cotton market and elimination of waste and speculation between farm and mill. "That the plan upon which the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Co operative Association is being formed and will operate is sound has been proved repeatedly in actual practice. The Association is making it possible for every farmer in the state to be come a member on terms that all can meet. Are they going to turn their backs on this opportunity to go with their brother farmers who have al ready banded themselves together for their mutual profit, or are they going to join the association saying: 'We're with you, boys, let's all pull together for prosperity." ON CONTROLLING RATS Clemson College, Jan. 10.-In the control of rats, the most injurious aninma lof the American farm and home, there are twvo conditions that must be observed: first, wve must stop feeding them and providling hiding places for them; secondly, what ever method of control we under take must be put into operation over the entire premises at the same time. Rats "get wise," and if we begin,/ a method at one place with a view " of continuing it from~ place to place as time goes on, we will never control rats. We build seed houses, barns and other structures in which rats find accommodations, without a thought of rat-proofing. Around the home we store up boxes, cans, and other materials, furnishing excellent hiding places. Our feed for the livestock, including poultry, is kept in sacks or boxes that have no rat protection. We allow the space betwecen the groundl and floors of buildings to be conmc packed with chaf1', refuse feed, cotton seed and seed cotton, etc. And yet we blame the rat for being a constant visitor. Whatever method of control be adopted, whether it be trapping or poisoning, it should be undlertaken intelligently after a careful plan has 666 is a prescription for Colds, Fever and LaGrippe.

CARDUI HELPED REGAIN STRENGTH Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous and Depressed-Read Her Own Story of Recovery. Paint Rock, Ala.-Mrs. C. M. Stegall, Of near here, recently related the fol. lowing interesting account of her re. covery: "I was in a weakened con dition. I was sick' three years in bed, suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, I couldn't walk aoross the floor; just had to lay an4 my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I -heard of, and a number of doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardul I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. "I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trou ble since ... I sure can testify to the good that Cardui did me. I don't think there '+ a better tonio made and I believe it saved my life." For over 40 years, thousands of wo. men have used Cardut successfully, in the treatment of many womanly ailments. - If you suffer as these women did, take Cardul. It may help you, too. At all druggists. b7 85 been made covering the pfemises, ad vises Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomol ogist. On the farm one or two rat terriers or several good cats are among the most effective methods of rat control. Cats are useful in rat control about city and village premises. It is true that mnay cats are runious to birds, and when a cat has formed the bird killing habit it should be destroyed and replaced by a better one. In some sections systematic rat campaigns have produced splendid results, and similar campaigns should be of the greatest benefit in all sec tions of our State.

FOR BElTER PASTURES Clemson College, Jan. 10.-We be lieve that practically all of this cut over pine land of the low country can be utilized profitably in the pro duction of beef cattle, says Prof. H. W. Barre, director of the South Car olina Experiment Station, in discuss ing the work now being carried on at the Coast Station for better pas tures to support more and better livestock in th'e Coastal Plain see DO oYou wish to know h( of women have gon< knowing some of the pain to childbirth? Listen to t. Motherhood creates almost a new state of being for a woman. As a result, new nerves, those here tofore restful and quiescent, spring imtoactivity, thecy cry ou t, thcy tingle, they burn in their unrest. The network of nerves across the abdomen, the loins, the back and other parts now become supecr-sensi tive. All these nerves arc being called on to perform unusual duties. Those nerves must bo pacified and comforted; must he put in condition for the crisis that is pending. *If these nerves are not soothed and quieted, they may set up aggravated nerve tension, increasing in severity from month to month, sometimes even culminating in a nervous paraly sis of the back and limbs. This leaves the mother-to-be in a condition wvhere she is unable, fully, to meet the test when the climax of maternity arrives.

The native grasses, however, will not stand close grazing and carry a sufficient number of cattle to enable the industry to develop as it should. We have undertaken, there fore, to determine the best grasses and pasture plants to use and the best methods of developing perma nent pastures in this section. The three hundred acres of land purchased for this work last year have been fenced and subdivided into twenty-five :cre and fifty acre pas tures for these experiments. Fifty acres were sown to carpet grass and lespedeza. Where the land was burned over before seeding and the pasture gra zed closely and the seed sown broadcast, satisfactory stands seem to be developing. Tests of methods of seeding car pet grass and lespedeza were begun on fifteen acres. The stumps were removed from this area so that parts of it could be plowed and the ob jectionable weeds that develop on it could cut with a mower. The fol lowing five methods of seeding ar-.: being used i nprgparation of the land for the seed: burning over, plowing, disking, cutting over, and no treat ment. On the areas which are disked and plowed, it seems that we have secnred a better stand of grass and clover. It may be, however, that this is only apparent and that we are able to see the new grass better on the land on which the sedges have been partly killed out by cultivation. In other tests several seeding mix tures were tried on land that had been plowed and disked. These tests have not been completed at tue pres ent time. In still other tests with carpet grass and lespedeza seeded on plowed land, lime and fertilizer were applied before planting. It appears that we have secured much better stands and certainly better growth where some fertilizer was applied before planting. The fertilizer used in this work was nitrate of soda and acid phosphat, different rates of ap plication being made. In some of the plots of this series we have secured a very satisfactory stand of lespedeza and carpet grass. NOTICE The books for making tax returns for 1922 are now open.
