The King Phi of the Duroe Breed Do not take our word for it, just ask any one of the men from Union County who made the Roosters trio to Peacock and Hodge's sale at Cochran, Georgia, and look over the 1919 International Grand Champion. Ask them if the Patriot is not a better Boar than any they saw on the trip. Superior Defender and Fred's Crimper and Junior Faney Orion Are in just as good class as any of them. We say it without fear of contradiction that Sardis Farm has the best equipment, the best hogs and as good management as you can find, and as for Herd Boars no farm can boast of any better. ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th 1920 We will sell a bunch of as good Sows and Gilts and Boars as will be offered this fall and we are especially appealing to the farmers in this offering. IF YOU HAD Gone with us to Cochran and gone into the J 1 <*-* AAA A A .-l ciure cuituii lieiu wnere <p?,uuu.uu wortn of Arsenate of Lead had been used in spraying the plants and $225.00 spent for the spray machine and the work done at night, and seen cotton waist high with from three to ten bolls to the stalk and thousands of boll weevils, and hear the owner tell us that the poison seemed to fatten the weevils instead of kill them, you would not wonder why Peacock and Hodge had a $581.00 average on forty-two head sold. A local farmer bought five of the best sows in his sale, paying $1,350.00 for one. All Competent Authorities Say The boll weevil will come into Union County and destroy the cotton crop.

Everybody Come. You Are Welcome i - - i ACCEPUNCE SftECH OF GOVERNOR COOUOGE North Hampton, Mass., July 27.? Rescue from the reaction of war was declared as the transcended need of the nation in the address which Governor Coolidge delivered here today in accpting formally the Republican nomination for vice president. "The chief task that lies before us," he said, "is to repossess the people of their government and their property." Governor Coolidge found another source of gravest public concern to be "the reactionary tendency to substitute private will for the public will." "The observance of the law," be said, "is the greatest solvant of the public ills." The scene of the notification was Allen Field, the recreation ground of Smith College, a natural amphithe- ] tre. Governor Coolidge heart! from Gov- ' emor Edwin P. Morrow, of Kentucky, the formal announcement of his nomination "by the spontaneous ^ wish of the party. "The proposed league of nations 1 without reservation as submitted by the president of the feenate met with deserved opposition from Republican senators," said Governor Coolidge, "our party , by the record of its mem- ' bers in the senate and by the Solemn declaration nf it?t nlntform hv npr. formance and by promise approves the principle of agreement among nations to preserve peace and pledges itself to the making of such an agreement, preserving American independence and rights, as will meet every duty America owes to humanity. This j language is purposely broad, not exclusive but inclusive. The Republican party is not narrow enough to limit itself to one idea, but wise and broad enough to provide for the adoption of the best plan that can be devised at the time of action. "Your presence thrills me, said ! Governor Coolidge in opening his address, "of a leader and a cause. A leader in Warren G. Harding, the united choice of a united party, a statement of ability, seasoned by experience, a fitting representative of the common aspirations of his fellow citizens, wise enough to seek counsel, great enough to recognize merit and in all things a stalwart American; the cause of our Common country, as declared in the platform of the Republican party, the defense of our institutions from every assault, J the restoration of constitutional government, the maintainance of law and order, the relief of economic distress, the encouragement of industry and agriculture, the upholding of humanterian laws, the defense of the riehts of our citizens everywhere, the rehabitation of this nation in the estimation of all principles under an agreement meeting our every duty to preserve the peace of the world, always with unyielding Americanism? under such a leader, such a cause, I serve. "No one in public life can be oblivious to the organized efforts to undermine the faith of our people in their government foment desired, aggravate industrial strife, stifled production and ultimately stir up revolution?the first duty of the government is tc repress them. American institutions can stand discussion and ] criticism only if those who know bear for them the testimony of truth. "The greatest need of the nation at the present time is to be rescued from all the reaction of the war. The chief ( task that lies before us is to repos- , sess the people of their government ; and their property. We want to re- , turn to a thoroughly peace basis because that is the fundomental American basis?if the great conflict has disturbed our political conditions it has caused an upheaval in our economic relations. The mounting prices of all sorts of commodities have put 1 a well nigh unbearable burden on every home. "The most obvious place to begin retrenchment is by eliminating the extravagance of the government itself, that great breeder of public and private extravagance, the excess profits tax, should be revised and recourse had to customs taxe? on im poris, one of the most wholesome of all means of raising revenue, for it is voluntary in effect and taxes consumption rather than production. "A revision of taxation must be accompanied with a reduction of that private extravagance which the returns from luxury taxes reveal as surpassing all comprehension. "There has been profiteering. It should be punished because it is wrong. But it is idle to look to such action for relief. This class profit by scarcity, but they do not cause it. "As every one knows, the difficulty is caused by a scarcity of material, an abundance of money and insufficient production. The government A: ) ' must reduce the amount of money as fast a? it can without curtailing necessary credits. Production must be increased. "There must be a different public attitude toward industry, a larger ^ comprehension for the interdepend- * ence of capital, management and la- f bor and the better facilities for the * prompt and reasonable adjustment of industrial disputes. "The farmers need an enlarged ^ powre of organization whereby the ^ original producer may profit to a r larger degree by the high prices paid j for his produce by the ultimate consumer, and at the same time decrease the cost of food. "But all these difficulties descend I for final solution on the character and ( moral force of the nation. Unless a these forces abound and manifest c themselves in work done, there is no real remedy. "Whenever in the future this nation undertakes to assess its strength and resources, the largest item will * be the roll of those who served in every patriotic capacity in the world * vtrar. Care of dependents, relief 0 from distress, restoration from infirmity, provision for education, honorable preferment in the public ^ Bcrvice, a helping hand everywhre, arc the crisis, not as a favor but ^ right. a "There is especially due to the col- Q ored race a more general recognition sf their rights, tempted with disloyalty they remained loyal serving in the military forces with distinction, ^ obedient to the draft to the extent of j hundreds of thousands, investing $1 a of every $5 they possessed in Liberty 0 bonds; surely they hold the double title of citizenship, by birth and by conquest, to be relieved from all imposition to be defended from lynching h and to be freely granted equal oppor- ^ tunities. ^ "Equal suffrage for which I have ? aiways ?.oiea, is coming. me party stands pledged to use its endeavors to hasten ratification. d "The destiny, the greatness of C America lies around the heartstone. tl tf thrift and industry are taught there ,and the example of self-sacrifice oft appears, if honor abide there and high ideals, if there, the building d fortune be subordinated to the build- S ing of character, America will live in n security, rejoicing in an abundant * prosperitly and good government at liome, and in peaace, respect and conidence abroad. If these virtues be absent there is no power that can supply these blessings, look well then d ;o hearthstone; therein all hope of C America lies." p 1 * 1 t I When Folks jj d | Quit Coffee ij ; In because of cost to j 1 health or purse, they J naturally drink j Instant i: POSTUM I "n . n * il H meres a Reason ^ 0 - a EARTHQUAKE e AT SANTIAGO Santiago, Chile, July 27.?Advices received this afternoon from various ^ sections indicate that this morning's c earthquake had a vertical movement, r affecting the central provinces gen- * erally.
