We trust the readers of the paper will be lenient under the circumstances. " '* V 1 * . c' FLAYING POOTIOS. Two South Carolina congressmen, Messrs. Byrnes and Whaley, have certainly made out a bad case for Admiral Simms. Evidently the distinguished admiral has been trying to play politics for the Republican party, but up to the present he has made a poor mess of it It will be a serious blow to the navy if the higher officials continue to use their position for partisan political purposes. It is to be ' hoped that Admiral Simms is not representative of his profession. A PINE SPIRIT. It is a fine thing which the adjoining and to some extent rival towns of Leesville and Batesurbg will do in uniting to have a joint high school under a bill now pending in the legislature and it ought to promote the spirit of cooperation of the twin cities, while at the same time affording better educational facilities for the sons AM/1 /1A /\# T AAmrillft A M ^ T>A i An AUU UCWigliLCii) Ui L?CSVlHt; <U1U Dalesburg. We wish the high school an abundant and lasting success. NO OTHER WAY. In providing for a loan of $100,000 to match federal aid for road building the county legislative delegation took the only course open to them unless the county was to repudiate its * ' present contract with the federal government. It was either borrow this money and match the federal aid or go to Uncle Sam and say Lexington County is too poor to avail itself of the aid provided by congress for road building. The chaingang ought soon to be released for work in other sections of the county. WANNAMAKER TALKS OF COTTON SITUATION. Columbia, Feb. 16.?"The recent attack on the cotton market represents the dying efforts of the 'shorts* to prevent the exportation of cotton by the American Cotton Asociation to the Idle European mills, said J. Skottowe Wannamaker. nrpsirlAnt tv>o. a mor. ican Cotton Association last night. Mr. Wanamaker says that the American and English mills know that the starting of t>>e European mills will mean the restoration of a party between cotton and cotton goods. Mr. Wannamaker's statement follows in full! "The recent attack on the cotton market represents the dying efforts of the "Shorts" to prevent the exportt ing of cotton by the American Cotton Association to the idle European mills. "The American and English mills know the available supply of cotton is short and are determined to prevent tSie now idle mills of Europe getting cotton. They know every bale shipped to these mills diminishes their possible supply arid further what is more to the point, they know that the starting of European mills will be the beginning of restoration on a parity between cotton- and cotton goods. All this talk about the exchange rates or val770 r\f f V?0 r\mrn/l ?? ?uv i<vuuu otcinug 10 pure unadulterated nonsense, so far as England's shipping cotton is concerned. England buys our cotton and either ships the goods here to settle for the cotton or else she ships her manufactured goods to the silver countries [ where our dollar is below par and there buys our money or credit for 98c and less on the dollar. The jonly place the exchange situation hurts i now is in those countries who have I not yet begun to export manufac^ _tured goods. The world needs manufactured goods fully as bad as Europe needs raw cotton and no force howk ever arbitary and powerful can long delay the supplying of raw cotton to idle mills. The margin of profit is now and will continue to be too great to force mills. Wherever they are located to remain idle English millsfear the competition of European mills and gladly aid in the suppression of the value of their money so 11 long as they are able to pay in manufactured goods here or wherever our * money is below par. "We believe we are on the verge of the greatest, "Bull Market" ever ex? perienced. Spot cotton is firmly held. Spot cotton is not following'the decline in future. Neither the fall in the value of the 1 pound sterling nor the action ot tne federal reserve banks to refuse to loan money on Libety bonds will stampede f the holders of cotton?we prefer to hold what we have for a fair price based on manufactured goods rather . than raise another crop under present disturbed conditions and with the present labor situation. "The cotton producer is determined for once not to be smoaked out like a - : . : ; : i rat. If allowed a man's chance we ' ear. realize what we think it is worth. If we are denied a; man's chance to ' hold it and raise another crop we ' will let the 1920. ?rop go hang and t hold what we have in hand. "This will be one, of the chief subjects of discussion at the coming meet, ing in Montgomery. "There has not been a plow stuck in the ground as yet to prepare for . the cotton crop. The development of i the next 30 days, will determine largely future actions of the cotton grow, ers.

Anderson Woman Says She Is Glad to Recommenu TANLAC I *{ i . i I 1 Twenty-five years is a long time for anyone to contend with a physical ailment, but Mrs. A. C. Allison, of 32 Market St., Anderson, says that during that many years she suffered with a number of troubles before she began taking Tanlac, whieh, she said, soon gave her relief. Now, in her endorsement of Tanlac. Mrs. Allison says "it is a fine medicine." Discussing her troubles, her efforts to find relief and the results Tanlac 1 gave her, Mrs. Allison says: "I suffered with indigestion, sleeplessness and nervous troubles. I had no appetite and was broken down generally. 1 would have bad spells or nervousness at times and I lacked strength and energy. I .had been this way for twenty-five years and had spent a small fortune trying to find permanent relief, but failed. I am getting well along in years and I needed a general tonic. My friends had told me so much about Tanlac and the relief it gave them, so I began taking Tanlac myself. Tanlac broke up my indigestion right away, just as I was told it had done for others. My nerves became steady and I began to gain strength. After taking a bottle or so of Tunlae I could sleep well. In all. 1 took four bottles of Tanlac. I know front rny own experience that Tanlac is good for ailments such as 1 had, and 1 am glad to recommend it. It is a fine medicine."
