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,

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."
