Many letters on file in the Pinkham boratcry at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great" number of women after they have been recommended to submit to an operation have been made well by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Here are three such letters. All sick women should read them. Marinette, Wis.—“I went to the doctor aid he toH- me I must have an operation for a female trouble, and 1 hated to have it done as I had been married only a short time. I would have terrible pains and my hr.nds and feet were cold all the time. I.took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound and was cured, and I feel tetter in every way. I cive you penuiesion to publish my name because I am so thankful that I feel well again.’* Frei> BEiiKiiu,^Iarmette, Wls. Detroit, Mich.—“ Vrhen I 'fl.rst took Lydia E. Pinkham’a* Vepetalde Compound I was so run down with female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor said I would have to undergo an operation. I could hardly walk without help so when I read about the Vegetable Compound and what it had dcuo for others I thought I would try it. I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkh■.tin’s Vegetable Compound and a package cf Lydia K Bellevue, I suffered more than tongue can tell with terriMo bearing down pains and inflammation. I tried several doctors and they all told me the same story, that I never could get well without ^ration ahd I just dreaded the thought of that. I also tried a „ many other medicines that were recommended to mo and none of them helped me until a friend advised me to give Lydia Tl. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound a trial The first bottle helped, I kept .taking; it and now I don’t know what it is to be sick any more and I ' am picking up in weight I am 20 years old and weigh 145 pounds. It will be the greatest pleasure to me if I can have the oppor tunity to recommend it to any other suffering woman.”—Miss Ibexe Fboelicheb, 1923 If you would like special Med. Co.

Labor conditions la tbe state, par. ticularly in Oreanrllle and Andereon counties, bare been acvte daring tbe past year. The situation there shows that we should provide some legal machinery to Ifavefetlgate strikes, and mediate between em ployers and employees. I recommend the creation of a board-of conciliation, vhlch will have enlightened treatment of criminals and unfortunates. 'Penitentiary. The penitentiary, under the wise guidance of^the superintendent and board of directors, exhibits a wonder ful record In financial success, and shows wonderful Improvement la the treatment of prisoners. The spirit of progress end of greater hum'ani* ness in the treatment of pr-soners Is a subject which.cannot be. neglect, ed. and which must appeal to out- pOwer to'investigate strikes and to i hH . n ? an Mtur * Rnd mediate in their settlement; In con nection therewith, to have power to summon and examine wkccers, to compel them to testify, to requrlre the production of books of record and papers. Is necessary, but, Above all to have as its duty the settlemftat cf Industrial disputes; and to bake a report of their wetk to the Governor, end through him to the General As sembly. I deem it important that this board b? removed hs far as possible from nartisanship. and from political In fluence; J and 1 suggest that such n board should consist of three mem bers, to be appointed annually for a term of one year, one to be appoint ed by the Supreme Court, one by the Governor, arid one by the Commis sioner of Agriculture, Commerce and Industries; that these members should be paid a per diem for the time employed. In the Interest of justice and harmony I urge the creation of this board. State Federalhm of Labor. The State Federation of Labor de sires the enactment of a law rrept- 'ng a Bureau of Labor.

Sloan’s Liniment v M) the amortization pia%; but inasmuch, as a measure of this, kind has been inttoduccd in Congress, with the rtrong probability of its adoption, It may be unnecessary for tbe state, at this time, to act on this question un til the experiment has been tried out by the Federal Government. ■ But as a .statement has been pub- K. red by the Comptroller of the Cur- rcncy. alleging that excessive rates beer c harged by formation on this subject.. I have gone over this eptire matter with the State copimisioner, and he. from his experience nlid observation, is entirely in accord with these rec ommendations. t'niforin Warehouse Ileceijgs. I’niformlty in state legislation governing corrrme-cial' financial transactions,, is. desirable and im portant. This is true of laws gov erning storage'." The Southern estates should have.uniform laws on ware housing of agricultural products; and an Important step towards this certain banks, and in view, further, of the widelv advertised statements alleging exorbitant rates of interest being charged for advances to farm ers, I deem it of great importance | that the State should provide a plan j for s’ioft-t»rm credits for farmers, under which money cap be borrowed by lafriters at low iatert of Interest. 1 have drafted a plan by which this purpose can be accomplished, an.h this plan will. I hope, receive'that attention which yyill perfect it so as to make it available for our farm ers. I shall submit this plan to you would be taken by the adoption of t in a later message the Uniform Warehouse Receipt Act. and I urge upon you its adoption. Land Registration. , I again advise that you enact a land registration law based on what Is commonly known as the Torrens System. This Is a necessary prere quisite to a system of rural 6 credits. A Lend Registration Act will +i,nipn- fy the matter rf land titles, re luce the expense qf examination of same pnd furnish a sir-pio ami in-»x-jcn- *>«*> plan that will cheapen the co°t of borrowing money on real c^ate; thus making more practical, at small pxpemte, the use of land as collater al for loans. * / The Tdrrens System deed gives, the owner the secure feeling that the state warrants ^1* title and thus pnts an end forever to any doubt ob fear of litigation. The time has afrived for definite action on this mattef. arid I strongly urge upon you the necessity for Us enactment at this session. “ / w Rural Credits. » * Forty-three per cent, of our white farmers are tenants. If we are to build up our rural districts. Increase the producton of the soil, make easy the improvement of our rural schools, churches, roads and all rur al community Hfe. we must have a greater proportion of our people as owners qf their homes and farms. No tine factor can contribute to this areontplishment and this blessing more than a practical, workable sys tem of rural credits so that homes and farms can be bought on long time payments and at low rate of !n- tereft. This would, furnish our white tenants fhf plan by which monev which is now paid as rent for farms coui n>e applied to payments on forms bought.. Every Improvement, every acre whose production Is in creased. would be for the' benefit of the purchaser. . After some years of effort, and Industry, the annual pay- e pa .-inf it of which is provided >ot on This matter I deem of great im portance, for if th e statements that have been made as to these exorbi tant rates of interest charged to farmers are true, then one cause for the failure of unprofitable farming will have bcCn discovered, and it is our duty to endeavor to remove the cause of this complaint. It is mani- f.^t that, no business can succeed that has to be operated und?r such adverse conditions’.- Good Loads. It Is apparent to every observer that the roads in South Carolina are better now than they were a few years ago. It is apparent, however, to every observer that %e have not yet arrived at (hat poict-when a sys tem of building and maintaining our public highways has been satisf.v- tory in results and economical in operation. The fact is many thous ands of dollars are annually waste! in ill-judged construction, and al most negligible maintenance. When bnsider the importance of cheap transportation in our rural districts and that transportation is an expen sive item in our lives. It IS time for us to bend attention seriously to th" matter of road Improvemoni. The time has come when we should act, arid not deal in generalities on th)£ rubjert. We all admit the n'oesdtv for good roads, and the economic question Involved In them. A number of plans have been sug gested to bring about a system' if roadways throughout the length and breadth of the state, with, construc tion that will be pertnanent and the eat of maintenance light, and I commend this subject to your earn est consideration. We unquestion ably need these highways. They must be constructed if we are to keep pace with the progress of our sister states. I direct your attention tto the plan offered by Mr. Retd Whltford, of ments. little more than the rent they-Charleston, as a'basis of a plan for now pay. would give them a fee ‘ ' simple, <ifenrumb^red title to their home and farm.

Workers. I wish to call your p-“tieulnr et- tenlion to the necessity tor soir." legislation In behalf of workers, es- ppclnlly women, in large industries, and also women .employed in othq- lin.es of work. Women are sometiraC •• enmlly oppressed, and have to wovk 'o - a greater number of hours than tirsb and blood ban stand. Ronie- times they 'are requlr <1 to woiT r.a many as sixteen hours or more, witii- out opportunity fo- rest, and with sca^. , lin«- for meals: and with 'Ir-fr work place? at t nes in m unsani taiy condition. . A These-question are rf vital im port to the future of our rare, and we must vitalize and put Into ac tive effect the laws now on our stat ute books, which apply, to these con ditions. If the present laws are in- ufficlent, they should be so amend ed ns to give the power and means to provIdT'for their enforcement, so tbit these conditions may be In*, proved without delay. Workmen’*, Qunpens'ition Act. . . Damage suits for injuries received hv employees fill our Courts. An investigation of these cases reveals many miscarriages of justiqc Often a wrong Is done in paying insuffi cient damages to the irijure/H often- a wrong is done by paying damages which are rot deserved; oft^n,•'■re lays in trials—d^Jays oh account of appeals—work a hardship and ex pense fo both sides to tlm di.pute. It seems to me in keeping with the spirit of progress and in simple Ju - tico, that uncertainty and delay should be avoided and a plan adopted by which regula.7 and certain pay ments for injuries sjiould be made bv employer to employee. The machin ery for adjusting a settlement of such cases should be provided, and I recommend . the adoption of a Worknian’s Compensation Art pro- 'viding for the payment for injuries received by an employee on such a basis that the payment should be certain aiyl prompt, and at tb'* seme time, just and fair to both employer and employee. National Guard. • The National Guard of South-Car olina, by reason of the high standard of its personnel, their patriotism end loyalty to duty, desth-ves the bighc^t commendation and support of the en tire citizenship of the state. / I will communicate with you later -> a special message on this subject. I-h the meantime. I refer you to the report of The Adlutant General, Confederate Veteran*.. South Carolina has always been p-oud of the splondid service and patriotism of her Confederate sol diers. The assistance that she ha* given to these veterans has not been In proportion to her loyalty and d< - votion to them. The appropriations have Increased, but this Increase is not in proportiontothelrneeds. Their rapIdU* thinning ranks reminds us of increased attention that ir nerc- Aary to them.. It is gratifying to note the better care and Increased con- forts given to those in the Confeder- ) ate Infirinary. I commend to your attention their needs, and urge t’’a» liberal appropriations be made for them. ’ 1 State Board of Charities and Cor- reel Ion*.
