iy/omen: "Build-Up" To Relieve Pain " 1 ?J'1'1'I' ' ^ weak, run-down, undernourished I I condition calls for attention! guch a condition often enables functional dysmenorrhea to get its foothold. That's one thing which leads to muci) of women's suffering H Hfrom headaches, nervousness, those ?I 'cramp-l'*"' pains. A good way to relieve such pains, women by thouH lands have found, is by the proper use of CARDUI. It stimulates a jigging appetite, assists digestion I Vid assimilation; thus helps build I physical resistance to periodic pain. I Taken just before and during "the K time," many women also report that CARDUI helps to ease the | pain and discomfort of the period. |i A terrific "tropical cyclone" swept Atlantic coast from Cape Hatteras Jprthward along the coast last ModB|iy, The wind attained a speed of Hjiity-flvo miles an hour.

Britain Bans Fruit Sap Francisco, Nov. 16.?Britain's ban of fruit shipments from the United States stopped a $17,000,000 business today. Fresh fruit shippers as well as growers were glum, but hardly surprised. They had been warned the empire would have little money to spend on fruit, with the staggering demands of the military machine coming first and taking all funds available for export to pay for imports. I COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS (Hy Spectator) | Spectator Joins the 'great throng who mourn the passing of fliomns M Marchant of Greenville. Others will ! recall Mr. Merchant's rise to high position In Industry, as well as the recognition of his fellow Industrialists' 'by calling on him for service to IndusI try us a Whole in the state, and in I the nation still others will recall pulv' | He services of many kinds,* but Spectator remembers Thomas M. Mar-j chant, the man, the appreciative rea-j der, the encouraging friend, the help ' ful critic. Only last w^ok he sent1 various magazines to this office, and! from New York wrote two letters, one from his hotel, tho other from the' office of a business associate. One letter brought clippings, the other?so typical of Mr. Marchant "I all about you and 1 wish you would send Spectator to him." . Mr. Marchant was a thoroughly democratic spirit; he had no swank, no stand-offishness. One could not hoip but love him as a man. The late George It. Koester told ruo some years ago that he walked Into Mr. Marchant's private office, finding the door wide open. In a few minutes one of the operatives came to the I door and asked If he might speak to Mr. Marchant. Mr. Marchant invited him to come in, listened patiently to a long recital of a trivial matter and assured the operative of his imme diate attention. When the operative left Mr. KoeBter said "Tom, why do you bother about trifles like that? Why didn't you tell him to see the foreman?" "Well, I want my boys to know that I am here on the Job and that they can see me if they want to." I need not add to that. 1 have been in his office, in his mill with him, in his happy home, in conferences with hm on pubic matters?always the same. He rang true and wholehearted in everything. I Bhall remember Mr. Marchant above all for his warm humanity. Others can tell the success ^tory? the boy who made good and who radiated good fellowship everywhere. Miss Carrie Carson, home demonstration agent of Clarendon county, has given out some of the plans of the potato day program which the Clarendon Council of Farm Women will put on in Manning, Friday, the fifteenth of December. Mrs. Cousar, of Sardinia, president of the county council, will preside and will recognize the distinguished guests. Among those invited are Governor Burnet R. Maybank, Senator E. D. Smith, Senator James F. Byrnes, Congresswoman Clara McMillan, Lieutenant Govenor J. E. Harley, Speaker Solomon Blatt, all the state officials, any many prominent business leaders, among them L. V. Sutton of the Carolina ^Power and Light Company, which serves Clarendon, and Homer M. Pace of Charleston, C. Norwood Hastie, and others of Charleston. The tentative program is to have a baked potato for everybody who cares to eat one?a real Clarendon superba; with syrup running down the sides, and the special potato dishes will be 011 exhibition, but will be served in cufeteria style at a small charge to cover the cost of sefvlce. Ta addition to the many potato dfpfles there will be barbecue and i rice, coffee and tea. Each community unit of the County! Council is being asked to prepare certain potato dishes, but special groups: throughout the county will bring special dishes, as well as original confec-i tlons. Every Council member is being asked to contribute two dozen baked potatoes as a part of the general potato distribution. Raw potatoes will be 011 exhibition also, showing the varieties produced, in the County. The Manning Boosters, led by theirj President, Jack Goldstein, will coop-j erate with the County Council of j Farm Women, as, of course, will thd, Agricultural Extension Service under j F, M. Ifast. Miss CarrTe^Carson is in general, charge of preparations and R. Ivesliel Ridgill will serve as treasurer. While this is a county affair and | non-profit, whatever may be taken -in I above unavoidable expenses will be distributed among the community units of the County Council. . Miss Carson is going about this with her usual capability and reports that the members of the Farm Couci) are responding enthusiastically. "Where is all this prosperity I read about all the time." asked a farmer as we walked down Meeting Street Charleston, passing the News and Courier office as the question was asked. "I don't know, I haven't enJoyed any of It, yet, but being full of faith In the spread of the abundant life through the New Deal, I'm hopeful." The News aq<r~?jourier, having In mind Its volume of advertising, seems to be waxing rich under the benign influence radiating from Washington. "Well," persisted my friend, "I've had a short crop of cotton and ^1 aold at around nine cents. I am of fored forty-five or fifty cents for a few bushels of sweet potatoes. I have several hundred bushels of corn to sell, but can't get more than fiftyfive cents. In 1937 I got twelve cents for cotton?and made a good crop?seventy-five cents for potatoes and ninety cents for corn. And what's more I sold the stuff In September and early October and knew exactly where I stood." Well, I ask you. Sometimes I think we should get'tr clearer understanding of problems, if our news reporters were not quite so efficient. Items of news about business are often misleading. The heavy I balances in banks do not prove that we are prosperous. Qreat volumes of production may not prove profitable enterprise. We likp to see it?yes, for we, all, get pepped up when we see the smoke coming out. Business in some lines is today in greater volume than in the boom days of 1929, but the-profits are not there. What good is it to a farmer if he makes a good crop and sells at a loss? Our government has raised the pay and reduced the hours for every major business but farming. It thereby increases the cost of everything which the farmer uses. By multiplying taxes of many sorts, by a lot of visionary welfare schemes, by waste! ful projects of small usefulness, by a general piling on of burdens which must finally fall on the consumer, the government has taken the- farmer's : pants, giving him a small neck tie. Here is what a distinguished citij zen writes: "Because of your interest In tax matters and the effect of our tax system upon the general economics of the state, I believe that the following will interest you. "I have a client in New York who is considering investing some money in South Carolina. Today I have a letter from him, containing an excerpt from the New York Herald-Tribune, and asking me what it means, and how it . will affect him, the excerpts being as follows: "Taxes on industry in South Carolina are now higher than in almost* any other southern state. It is also.! pointed out that the punitive damage law, the tax on intangibles and other laws now in effect keep persons with money from becoming residents of the state or from starting industries there." Well, where do we go from here? Shall the state pay to certify WPA workers? I am sure they are called workers, so let's not argue about it. My suggestion is that the welfare organizations do this and so much of whatever else may be defensible?all for $1,000,000. Even at that we should be better off to save the one million dollars. All organizations tend to multiply the number on the payroll. Especially is this true of organizations with "field workers." They seem to walk on. the feet of one another in getting about. The time is ripe to some man to assume a state leadership by becomln a sort of boll In a china shop. Ordinary, peaceable methods won't do, we need a housecleanlng and sweeping out that will make the renowned Augeair stables of classic memory ' seem like a chicken yard. A bit strong, eh? I mean my proposal, well now is the time for some heroic figure to bestride the state like the ancient Cflflosius. ' ' TK'i > ' HOME TOWN PAPER Today no small part of the city postman's pack is iqudu up of tigluly rolled, cylindrical objects whoso doll vory la expectantly awaited alike in placid home and busy office and which, opened, reveal u digest of do-} inns in distunt cominunltios . With the writ in j? of lengthy, leisurely letters un all but vuuished art, the transplanted city dweller is tlndlliK in (ho old home paper a welcome substitute. It presents a printed panorama of tlio small-town life of which hoi was once a part, enabling him toj visualise the comings and goings, the sayiugs and sojourns of former acquaintances and intimates. Big-city residents, contrasting its modest bulk with their own mattresslike publications, ma? be inclined to view lightly thia unpretentious result of small-town Journalism, but to the subscriber it is welcomed as a refreshing visitor from homo, a chatty "country cousin", who, while eager to impart the news, is equally ready to depart, once he lias given it. Through "typographic television", the former citlsen of the small community sees the friendly merchant with whom he formerly traded departing on a vacation trip and is glad that affairs seem to be improving for him. Through the same medium he mingles with the Saturday afternoon crowds on Main Street, renewing all but forgotten associations. Although its circulation may be limited, the home town paper's sphere of influence is large. Its regular reading by "former residents" refreshes with recollection fragile memories whfch otherwise might wither in the arid air of mere busy ness and success.?Christian Science Monitor.

I FLORENCE MAN KILLED WHILE ON DEER HUNT * Au inquest into the death of William Robert Barrett, Florence man,who was killed in Darlington county of Wednesday, was held last Monday night, conducted by Coroner J. H. Kistler. T ho inquest was held in Darlington and a coroner's Jury declared that the man "came to his death from accidental gun shot wounds while hunting on the KdwarcT^estate." Mr. Barrett, with a party of friends, had come to Darlington county on a deer drive Wednesday afternoon of last week and he was mistaken during the hunt by a companion for a deer and shots were tired at the Florence man. He was. mortally wounded and lived for only two hours following the accidental shooting. The tragedy occurred about two miles from a highway and every possible aid was given to the wounded man. Mr. Barrett was an Atlantic Coast Lino railroad locomotive engineer.? "I T1frf svTIT?" "M e ssenger. W0RTHLE88 CHECKS Business men should heed the warning of President Menxies of the First National bank of Hickory, who urges extreme caution in the cashing of checks for strangers. It is surprising to learn that a large number of so-called "bad checks" are presented for payment daily at the local bank, many of them being the toll taken regularly by professional crooks. The old racket by which a check is given in payment for a small item of merchandise and the crook Becures several dollars in change, was worked here^again Wednesday?at least three stores falling easy prey. More caution on the part of business people would soon put a stop to most of the rackets of this kind, and perhaps result in the arrest of many of the worst- offenders. No honest stranger who .wants to cash a check has any grounds for resenting investigation on the part of a store or business house. It takes but a few minutes to call the bank and make inquiries, if the check is written locally?of if the stranger is from out of town a long distance telephone call or telegram may prevent regret later.?Hickory (N.
