The regulations do not provide for the issuance of duplicate certificates, and no replacement certificates can be issued in the county office. I An amendment is proposed which, if approved, will provide for the is- . suance of replacement certificates | from Washington by the Cotton Production Section in cases where the certificates have been lost, destroyed, or stolen after being delivered to the producer. These certificates will be issued only in cases where there is I proof that there is no collusion or | connivance on the part of the producI er or trustee, and after such producer or trustee has filed a sworn statel ment to this effect together with a ' properly executed bond for the amount of tax which would be pay'able on the amount of cotton figured 1 at b.bT cents per pound. Forms pro| vided for this purpose will be furnish' ed at a later date. ! Pending approval of this amendment, we would suggest that in cases 1 of missing certificates you forward to this .office the name of the producer.' the serial number of the certificates, the number of pounds origJinally issued, the number of pounds reported lost and any other information you mi^y have relative to the par, ticular case. j The County Assistant should also i immediately cancel the certificate or: part thereof reported lost, destroyed | or stolen and notify the ginners in I his county of the action taken. The J County Agents in the adjoining counj ties, should also be advised in order I that they may notify the ginners in I their respective counties. ! Complete information relative to I the procedure to be followed will be i forwarded to all 'County Agents in j the event the proposed amendment is . approved. I C. A.

That is to try and keep those they led into the strike from realizing how completely they lost. Gorman announced that the strike would not be called off nor would the union agree to arbitration until the U. T. W. had closed every mill in the country. Well, nobody can deny that the strike was called off long before that goal was reached. Not a was called off when it was plain that 1 goal could not be roarhed. Not a mill was closed in Virginia. The ; workers in that state had been fooled before into a Gorman led strike and knew from personal experience that the union does not keep its promises to strikers, So the Virginia worker* did not strike. That was true alio at Piedmont and other mills in this state, at which workers had recently been out in local strikes called of sanctioned by Gorman. f/ Heretofore the Horse Creek Valley has been the hotbed of unrest in the textile industry of this state. It was notable that the mills there did not close during the general strike and that flying squadrons did not venture into that territory. Just as notable of the chunked temper of the pepple 'of the Horse Creek Valley, who have learnt by bitter experience that a strike simply costs them wages and suffering and does not bring any of i the promised benefits, was the defeat of John Stansfield in the recent primary as a candidate in Aiken county, in which the Horse Creek Valley is located, for re-election to the house, in which he was probably ^he most violent champion of the most extreme demands of those mill workers who follow alien labor leaders. In Greenville county the mills went on working. . * ' f | The strike was plainly disintegrating when Gorman called it off. It had failed to get out^ hulf of the workers in the textile industry of this country. It absolutely failed also in sqme of the big fcfxtile centers of New England, centers which the U. T. W. had once dominated but sectors in which textile workers had repudiated U. T. W. leadership before the general strike was called, repudiated it because that leadership had brought no benefits commensurate with the suffering and loss of wages it had entailed. It was becoming more and more plain that most of the mills would be reopened as fast as assured of protection for workers who did not want to strike. Not a word against flying I squadrons came from U. T. W. leaders until it was made plain ^hat the country would not stand for stopping of mills by violence. Then the U. T. W. leaders said some perfunctory words against employment of force. Furthermore, as phy day after pay day passed withoflt wages being drawn and without support of the strikers by union funds, the ranks of the strikers were disintegrating. In a few more weeks the strike would have petered out and Gorman and his satellites know that. So they made a virtue of necessity and called off the strike, called it off without having gained a single objective they proclaimed as a reason for calling the strike. It was a complete defeat. It is high time for thinkers among the strikers to consider what they lost by following the Gorman leadership. They lost from fifteen to twenty million dollars in wages. Many of them did not want to lose their share of those wages but lost them because the mills in which they had worked and were willing to continue working, were closed by violence or threats of violence and lack of the protection to which those willing to work had a right under the laws of the land. Those who go back to work will go back under the same conditions and wages prevailing when the strike was called. So, what was gained by what the strikers lost? Nothing, just exactly nothing.?Greenville Observer. THE II1GH>VAY?THE CAR? THE DRIVER When you take your car on streets or highways, three definite factors are involved. First, the road. Second the car. Third, the human element? yourself. Practically every automobile accident can be traced to one of these three factors. And the third is infinitely the more important. Highway engineers have done their part to make driving safer?they have given us model highways, with scientifically constructed turns and the safest of surfaces. Automobile development in safer bodies, brakes, steering, lights and tires have been nothing short of sensational. ^ For every accident that can bo j blamed on the road or the automobile" I a dozen can be blamed on the driver. It is an established fact that the bulk J of accidents occur on good, straight highways in ordinary weather, and involve cars whose mechanical condition is adequate. Apparently, if a road and a car are produced which make it safe to drive ten miles an hour faster than in the past, a legion of drivers will at once start driving twenty miles fa-ter?and the inevitable result is a mounting accident toll. The present year is witnessing a tremendous increase in accidents over 1933?if the trend continues a new high in fatalities may be established. The cure is knowledge that tells you how to drive under all conditions, and a sense of the responsibility you owe to all who use the public highways. If every motorist would start an individual safety campaign of his own the automobile accident record would go iuto a tailspin. THE AVERAGE MAN Who is the average American? The question was raised recently by President Roosevelt in his Green Bay speech. "Those who would measure confidence in this country in the future," he said on that occasion, "mast first look to the average citi een." >l It has remained for the economist of a down-town firm to look into the statistics and tell us what manuer <4 person this "average citizen" actually is. . . . He appears to be not at all the dUsatiHiled anti-capitalist. ... He is a person who is gainfully employed the greater part of the time, . . . Outside of the larger cities every second average man owns his own stocks or bonds, and as depositors in our banks and holders of Insurance policies four or five times that number are indirect holders of securities. "Th$ average man," concludes the ' author of this little statistical study, i "is a capitalist. He has no patience , with socialism or colnmunism as he | understands these philosophies, though recently, he has been taking: doses of both under ^Misleading la- i bels." , ? It might be well. .... to keep these < ??? in ii i iiiuwmwwww jimple facta in mind. . . . This average man cannot be very confident if tie does not knotf that he is ^oing to keep hia job. He canny$7bft confident if he cannpt count on thflttflttlntenattCe of the purchasing power of hia income. He cannot be </^mfldent if he mmmmasmmiwi mwn i.mni ii i I 1- gfr ' cannot look forward to a measure of security for himself and his family in his later years as a reward for hard work amd thrift. And he cannot be confident unless he is assured thpt business is on the mend.?New York Herald Tribune. Why Hospitals Use a Liquid Laxative Hospitals and doctors have always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. Thp action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you need not take a "double dose" a day or two later. A/or will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right dose of a liquid laxative brings a more natural rqovement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or after. The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good. A pro|>crly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin brings safe relief from constipation. It gently helps the average person's bowels until nature restores them to regularity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use. It makes an ideal family laxative; effective for all ages, and may be given the youngest child. . .
