Amend ment by Congress brings up the ques tion of its ratification or rejection by the states, and particularly South Carolina, the only state in the Union to experience the vicissitudes of the dispensary system. With the object of ascertaining the sentiment of prominent South Caro linians on the question of prohibition, and particularly to secure their re actions to a return of the dispensary system, Mr. . Otis Brabham, state temperance worker, recently institut ed a state- wide survey in which he asked replies to the following ques tion: "Knowing the history of our old 1932 1933 '?f. ?; * Saturday Marked the Fir& Anniversary of the Opening \ *> - ? in Camden We sincerely appreciate the liberal support accorded this firm during the past year.

The questionrittfre was submitted to all of the state's eight ex-gover nors, circuit judges, college presidents bankers and manufacturers, and while the majority expressed dissat isfaction with the present enforce ment of the Volstead Act, none was in favor of a return to state-control led liquor. Former Gov. Martin P.- Ansel was emphatic in his denunciation of the idea: "I am not in fiuor of the dis pensary. system, of any other system of selling liquor in the State," he f said. "I stand for the enforcement of the prohibition statutes," while for mer Gov. D. C. Heyward does J'not believe that South Carolina will ever again adopt the old dispensary sys tem." Ex.-Gov. John Gary Evans, answer ed, "I would not. I am satisfied that our people are happier and better off, in every way, under prohibition than under any other system ? and South Carolina has tried every plan known to civilized gjvernments." Former Gov. Robert A. Cooper does "not advocate the old South Caroline dispensary system for any state," but believes the regulation of alcoholic beverage is a question each state should determine for itself. Judge H. F. Rice, of the Second Judicial District, is opposed to the return of the dispensary system, "or any other legalized sale of intfcxicat ing liquors in this State." Mr. John A. Law, banke^and cot ton mill president, asserted: "A re turn by South Carolina to the old dis pensaay system, in my opinion, is un thinkable. Any influence which ? could exert would be against its adoption by any other State. Former Governors John G. Richards and Wil son G. Harvey, well-known prohibl tionists, also expressed unqualifiec disapproval of the suggestion. Speaking for the farmers, Mr David R. Coker, South Carolina'^ "grand old man of agriculture", ve hemently denounced the idea as for eign to all the progress of civilization has made. Dr. Henry Nelson Snyder president of Wofford College, Spar tanburg, said: "Prom my observation of the old, dispensary system in South Carolina, I certainly would not advo cate its return to the State, or its trial by other states." He finds a staunch supporter in Dr George B. Cromer, Newberry, who be lieves prohibition is the nearest per fect control of intoxicating liquorr yet devised. In this cross-sectior survey, none approached expressed serious objection to prohibition in itr pensary system and few manifested approval of a return of the old dis present foitn." Japanese Cher?y Trees in Potomac x Park, Washington, D. C. In December, 1910, scions from twelve varieites of the flowering cherry trees were taken from the riv er bank near Tokyo and grafted or special trees. -The trees reached Washington in March, 1912, and were officially, planted by Mrs. William Howard Taft, wife of the President of the United States and by Viscountear Chinda, wife of the Japanese Ambas sador. The single very p^le pink flowering trees are planted around the Tidal Basin; the double yellow and single white are planted along Riverside Drive. The single blooms come out about the first week in April and remain from 10 to 12 days; the double flow ering trees are in bloom about twr weeks later and remain in flower a bout two weeks. The effect of these oriental tree? when in blosom around the Tidal V^a sin with the Lincoln Memorial to the west, the Washington Monument to the east and beautiful vista with the dome on the Capitol in the distance is Beyond description. The many pic tures which have been painted and the photographs taken of these ihsplring scenes do not exaggerate their bea^y nor express the admiration and joy of the many who wander beneath the spreading boughs or sit breaming in the sunshine with the falling pedals fluttering in the spring brefeze. Special low fares will be arranged by the Seaboard Air Line Railway for thoad who may wish to go to Wash ington in April.

By mixing "fertilizer at home we can come nearer supplying each crop on each soil the fertilizer *it really needs. The old method of using 8-8-8 or 8-4-4 for all crops, corn cotton, etc. for all types of soil either light sand soils, red clay soils or rich bottom f'ands was wrong and expensive to our farmers. ? ' Light sandy soils do not require as heavy .applications of acid as we have, been making. However, they should receive more potash than as has been customarily applied. In general, r good fertilizer to go under corn ord cotton, on light sandy soil would be fc mixture of 4-4-6. The'- 4 per cent of ammonia should be' gotten *rom two sources, probably one half from cot ton seed meal and one-half from sul phate of ammonia or nitrate of soda Light land farmers will find that it pays to Use the^fe per cent potash. Piedmont or red soils should receive more acid and less potash. In all cases fertilizer applied under crops should be well stirred in the soil in order to dilute the fertilizer thoroughly, since our fertilizers arr concentrated cehmicals and will se verely burn the tap root of young plants. We often have splendid stands of cotton only to see them tun yellow, then red, wilt and die within a few days. This is when the tap root strikes the concentrated ball of fertilizer which has not been stirred in the soil. , _ I strongly urge this year that our farmers cultivate only their best landr leaving out the poorer parts and ap plying liberal fertilizer to the best lands which are cultivated. Your County Agent will be very glad to assist any farmer to work ou* a formula for home mixing his ferti lizers this year. Henry D. Green, Co. Agt. RESOLUTIONS Whereas it has pleased God in Hie wisdom to take from our midst our beloved class-mate, James Kirkland Clyburn, and whereas our grief is un speakably great at his loss be it re solved by the members of the Class of 1933 of Camden High School: 1. That we bow In submission to the divine wisdom that has taken him from us. 2. That we deeply deplore the lost that has come to us, as a class and as individuals. 8. That we keep In grateful mem ory the warm personality and lovable character that has been associated with our school life for eleven years. 4. That we extend to his mother and to all the family tho heartfelt sympathy of' the entire school 6. That a copy of theBe resolution? be sent to his family and to the "Camden Chronicle" and the "Wate ree Messenger" and that a copy be filed In the Camden High School as e perpetual tribute to the memory of our class-mate and friend. JOHNSIE CARPENTER, Secretary of Class of 1933 r COTTON GINNlkGS There were 15,490 bales of cotton ginned in Kershaw County, from the crop of 1932, as compared with 22,791 bales from the crop of 1931, according to Mr. R.

LET AUSTRIAN PEAS CONTINUE TO GKOW Those farmors who planted aus trian winter peas last fall aT? request ed to allow them to continue to grow until within ten days of tim<> to plant com or cctton. Austrian peas re quire a very short time to decompose in the soil and since they are busy g&thering atmospheric nitrogen and storing it in the plant and roots it 1p very Important to allow this manu facturing process to continue as long as poslble. The peas should consider that they have approximately $10.00 worth of nitrogen stored In each acre Of course, the organic matter Is of great importance also and should be considered as a valuable part of the austrian pea crqp. Any farmer having austrian peap and who desires to save seed may se cure detailed Information from the County Agent. Henry D. Greefi, Co. Agt.

It Takes More Than Salts, Calomel, Mineral Waters, Oils, or Laxative Pills to Arouse a Sluggish Liver They Give Only Temporary Relief From Constipation and Biliousness, Because They Have No Effect Whatever on the Liver or Its Production of Bile Bile Is nature's own laxative and your stomach and bowels require at least one quart of fresh bile every day to keep them clean, pure, free from fermentation, putrefaction, gas and disease germs. When your liver becomes torpid or sluggish the bile stagnates and 8 tops flowing freely. The contents of your bowels become the breed ing place for germs and poisons; your food does not digest?it just, ferments and decays in the bowels. The blood absorbs these poisons and you suffer from constipation, gas, sick headaches, biliousness, nervousness and sour stomach. Sargon Soft Mafts Pills will re move the cause of this condition and purify your entire system in nature's way. They are not like any other medicino you have ever tnken. They are so gentle, thor ough and natural in their a<ttion that there is nothing about them to remind you that you have ever taken a medicine, and most re marknble of all yon gradually re duce the dose until you no longer require a laxative at all. Five years ago it was generally believed that calomel and laxative drugs stimulated the liver, but modern science has proved that calomel, salts, mineral waters, oils and other laxatives have no effect "hatever on the liver, * Sargon Soft Mass Pills act di ?cctly on the liver Jj.-sause thoy contain two amazing substances which highest medical authorities agree are the only effective stimu lants to the bile-producng activity of the liver known to modern science. These substances stimu late and invigorate the liver to cleanfce and purify itself through increasing Its production of bile. This fresh bile immediately starts to work neutralizing acids and poisons, stopping fermentation and decay, cleansing and purifying the bowels and sweeping out accu mulated poisons. Unless you have tried Sargon Soft Mass Pills you can have no idea of the effects produced by this natural cleansing of your liver and bowels. It makes you feel years younger, stronger, healthier and happier. It brings back life and color to faded eyes and cheeks, ro i stores the appetite and sound di gestion ? gives you a new outlook on life itself. Insist on gennfne Rargon Soft Mass Pills. Don't be misled. There are only two known substances which will actually stimulate a torpid or sluggish liver to cleanse and purify llself by Increasing Its production of bile. Rargon Soft Mass Pills contain both of these substances an<* no other Advertised ! medicine on th? American market I today does contain them. * Only 60c for a full 80-day treat ment At your druggist, or writ* a. P. Willis, Inc., \tlanta Ga. DePASS DRUG StOtUB
