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.

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. '

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.

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.?

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

We farmers
are
rnoney ahead
| with CONCRETE ROADS!
BEFORE they paved the
roads in my county, I
decided I'd better look into
the cost of road improvements.
You see, I own two
cars and pay taxes on considerable
farm property.
"I found that concrete, besides
being the best pavement
to drive on, is actually
the cheapest every way you
look at it. Costs less to build
than any other road of equal
load capacity. Costs $88 to
$465 less perihTIeper year
for surface maintenance than
other pavements.
"And concrete saves gas,
tires and your car?enough
to make a big difference in a
year's timet "Take
my word and demand
concrete wherever traffic exceeds
100 vehicles a day.
You'll be money ahead.'*
