B. P. DRVIE8, Editor and Proprietor H. •, lir . . THURSDAY OCTOBER 15, 1914. Those devotees of King Cotton who are so opposed to reduction of acreage in 1915 should stop and give more thought to the matter.- With the great est nations of Europe involved in a titanic struggle the food supply for another year at least i$ going to be seriously curtailed with the resultant increase in prices. On the other hand it has been estimated that already cot ton enough for Iwo years under pre- sent conditions has been made. It would seem, therefore, that there would be no need for legislative action to compel the farmers to cut out a crop that will be virtually worthless and have them plant crops that are bound v * • • . ' to bring excellent prices and profits. It is generally conceded that'if the cotton consumers were sure that no cotton would be raised next year, the present crop would advance immedia- • tely to 15 cents a pound or better. Even if ten million bales are grown in 1915, a reduction of 33 per cent of this year’s acreage, the market would still be gluttted and low prices will prevail for both crops. You cottontots cannot feed your families on cotton. Do the only sen sible thing and eliminate that crop— entirely if possible. “I saw some pretty prices of hand painted China there this morning—not so high priced either.” * ’ - , -. v- . * “0 yes,” I know, you’ve been to ~~ Huggins’ ~ ' 7^ Drug Store. ■ AUTOMOBILE y OWNERS Legislative Terms The Greenwood Index recently raised the question as to the expiration of the terms of the members of the present legislature. Sec. 10, Article III, of the State constitution of 1895 fixed the terms of office, the date of expiration being “on Monday succeeding the general election.” This being the case it would be unlawful for the extraordi nary session to hold longer than No vember 9th. But what we would like to know is whether the members will receive the same pay for this session, Which can not last longer than 29 days that they do for the regular session of 40 days?

Farijiers linioi) Mercantile Coippantj Barnwell, S. C. What a wealth of "dope” there is for the paragraphers in the announcement that the governor has entered the newspaper field. But what we can’t understand is how he expects to get subscribers when he has preached all along that one can’t believe what he sees in the papers. By the way have you noticed that the harder the times are the more the people marry? That is a diversion also. —Newberry Observer. There is much truth in the old adage that “two heads are better than one” and it is our opinion that times like the present justify the added expense. It is rumored that an Allendale lady sustained a terrible loss recently. She had sold one of the finest pieces of residence property in the town, a corner lot containing about one acre, and returning home lost the entire amount, ten dollars. Those farmers who have been "liv ing at home” are not seriously affected by the present situation. They are practically independent and can hold what cotton they have raised until norma) conditions prevail again. Well, we didn’t think the legislature would refuse to accept remuneration for their work in the extra session, the bill to refund the money having been “blithely killed” last week. . ‘l v .''Nh Cheer up, friends; let’s think of the many blessings that we ought to be truly thankful for, instead of whining over conditions over which we bad no control. Apply Sloan’a Freely for Lum bago Your attacks of Lumbago are not nearly so hopeless as they seem. You can relieve them almost instantly by a simple application of Sloan's Liniment on the back and loins. Lumbago is a form of rheumatism, and yields per fectly to Sloan’*, which penetrates quickly all in through the sore and ten der muscles, limbers up the back and makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of Sloan’s Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house— against colds, sore and swollen joints, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost in stant relief, adv. Certificate of Stock Lo.t.

Now Coley can join the Press Asso- ret mi ciation and attend the secret meetings of the newspaper oligarchy that hatched •uch dire plots in the recent campaign.

MINNESSOTA TRAVELING MAN IN BAD SHAPE In an affidavit executed before a Notary in St. Paul a traveling man swears to the following: Had a scrofu lous ulebr about two by three inches in size on the right side of neck over the jugular-vein—a dangerous place. Was treated by m: ny do -tors but no bene fit. Allen's Ulcerine Salve cured the ulcer in six months. . - This salve is one of the 'oldest rem edies in America and since 1859 it has been known as the only salve powerful enough to cure chronic ulcers and old sores of long standing. Allen’s Ulcerine Salve acts by draw ing out the poisons and healing the sore from the bottom up. It is so pow erful that it heals new cuts and sores in one-third the time that common salves and liniments take. And it heals burns and scalds without a scar. Sold by C. N.
