Constipated?
The doctors say . .
Use liquid treatment
Here is the soundest advice anyone
I can give on the subject of laxatives,
lit ;s based on medical opinion. We
I want you to have the benefit of this
information no matter what laxative
lyou may buy:
The secret of real relief from constiI
pation is reduced dosage. You can't
I regulate the bowels unless you can
I regulate the help you give them. That
| is why doctors use a liquid laxative;
h Lie dose can be measured to a drop.
I Avoid laxatives that you can't cut
down m dosage; especially those that
Keem to require larger doses than
when you began their use.
l-nder the doctor's care, you usualy
get a liquid laxative. Theright
liquid :a\ative gives the right kind
of help and the right amount of
help Smaller and smaller doses?*
I until you don't need any.
I r!u '!9u'd laxative generally used
is Or Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It
contains senna and cascara?natural
laxatives that form no habit.

Prize Winners In
Cotton Contest
CWonfcon Collie, Feb. 2 -^State atui
district prize winners in the 1934
South Carolina five-acre cotton staple
unpioveiiu-nt contest ure announced
hy I). W. Wat kins, <li rector of the
hxlcnsion Set vice, as follows:
Slate winners: first, $750, L. H.
Rollings, Kershaw, with 5,200 pounds
of lint; second, $276, 1*. M. Arant,
PaKeland, 5,04o pounds. 1 a)wer district:
first, $200, J. H. Nexsen, Kingstree,
4,806 pounds; second, $125, L.
O. Thomas, ( ades, 4,540 pounds. Middle
district: first, $200, .1. F. Hopkins,
Mayesville, 4,325 pounds; sec-)
ond, $125, A. 11. Forrester, Sumter,
4,210 pounds. Upper district, first,
$200, (1. 11. Williams, Cireer, 4,830
pounds; second, $125, T. ,M. Verdin,
Greenville, 4,700 pounds.
The chief aim of this contest, conducted
for seven years since 102(5
(with no contest in 1032 and 1033)
has been the improvement of the staple
length of South Carolina cotton
so that the mills of the state could
consume home grown cotton. For the
last six years of the contest the South
Carolina Cotton Manufacturers Association
has sponsored the work with
the contribution of $2,000 annually
for the prize money.
In 1926 a survey iby the Extension
Service showed that less than 20 per
cent of the 'South Carolina cotton was
15-16 inch or longer. In 1934 the report
of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics showed 79.8 per cent of
the South Carolina crop was 15-16
inch or longer.
The staple improvement contest has
also materially aided in demonstrating
to farmers cultural practices such
as spacing, boll weevill control measures,
varieties, fertilizers, which have
proved of economic value in cotton
production.
Beef Cattle Outlook
Is Rather Promising
Clemson College, Feb. 2.?.Because
of the reduced supply of slaughter
cattle and other meat animals, O. M.
Clark, extension agricultural economist,
thinks that the price level of
beef cattle should be considerably
higher in 1935 and should also be
good relative to feed prices during
the next few years. Discussing the
situation, he says:
"The eattlc production cycle has
been on the up-swing since 1928, the
number having increased about 10.5
million head between January 1, 1928,
and January 1, 1934. But as a result
of the drought, the increase during
these six years was practically
wiped out during 1934. The purchase
and slaughter of 7.5 million head by
the government and the marked increase
of commercial slaughter c^i^sed
a marked reduction in cattle numbers
during the year.
"Since about 80 per cent of the
cattle bought by the government for
slaughter were cows and heifers, cattle
numbers may show no increase
during 1935. The marketing and
slaughter of cattle and calv.es during
1935 are expected to be greatly reduced.
A fairly large quantity of
short-fed cattle may move to market
during the early months of the year
but the total supply of well finished
cattle is expected to be very small,
the reduction being most pronounced
during the summer and fall months.
Cattle will probably resume its increase
but probably cannot begin before
1936 or "37."
Couple Lose
Lives In Disaster
Both the winter residents and the
permanent citizens of Aiken were
deeply shocked and grieved on last
Thursday to hear of the tragic death
of Mr. and Mrs. Julian Peabody when
they were drowned off the New Jersey
coast by the accident to the ill-fated
"Mohawk." They were enroute to
Guatemala, C. A.
Mrs. Peabody was the daughter of
Thomas Hitchcock of Westbury, L. I.,
and Aiken, and sister to Mrs. Averell
Clark. She had endeared herself to
the citizens of Aiken by her many
benefactions to the poor and by her
natural charm and kindliness of manner.
The extensive charities kept up
for nearly forty years by her beloved
mother, Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock,
found an ardent supporter in Mrs.
Pea'body. She was <vcll-known in the
social world.
Mr. Peabody had achieved distinc|
tion as an artist, having given exhibitions
in the Corcoran Art Gallery
at Washington, D. C. and in Detroit,
Michigan. He was a member of the
firm of architects, Peabody, Wilson
and Brown of New York City. Like
Mrs. Peabody, her husband was a
man of splendid character, gentle and
kindly. They will be remembered long
in Aiken.
They are survived by two children,

Believe It Or Not;
Some Hunting Tale
K. Black well is considered
around this shop as being a very
truthful man, esjH'cially when he tells
U story with a perfectly slruighl fare.
If his fare i> not on just straight,
why then of course you can do your
own judging as to his veracity at the
moment, lie told the following with
a perfectly straight physiognomy on
Wednesday afternoon:
"John Davison and I and 'some
other niggers' went hunting yesterday
afternoon," hegtan t|r. Blackwell.
"After we had beiMiVhupttng h little
while, one of the negro* fcyjd, 'Here's
a rabbit; do you want him?\ 1 said,
'You been telling me about catching
rabbits in their beds?let me see you
catch that one.' 'All right,' replied
the negro, 'You just stand right there
and I'll show you.' He stepped around
to the other side of the rabbit in the
bed and reached down and picked it
up, twisted its neck and put Mm in his
bag.
"A little later I saw a covey of
birds rise up some distance away.
They were not pointed by the dog. A
little later one of the dogs pointed a
bird. 1 said to John Davison, 'You
been telling mo about catching partridges
alive. Let me see you catch
that one.' 'Hold right still,' replied
John, and then he walked around to
the other side of where the dog was
pointing, reached down in the grass
and picked the bird up alive.
"And still a little later, I saw a
rabbit sitting on the side of a gully?
the gully was as deep as this room.
The rabbit was about half way up
the ditch in a perfectly open place.
I said to John, 'Do you want this rabbit?
I don't, but if you want it I'll
shoot its head off.' John said he
would take it, and I raised my gun,
took aim and fired, and do you know
I shot that rabbit right half in two
just about like it would have ibeen
if you had cut it with an axe."
And that's Mr. Blackwell's hunting
story, contributed right at the end of;
the season, and he wasn't laughing
when he told it.?Yorkville Enquirer.
