sent to county agents and the members
of local committees at an early

In practically all counties, distribution
of the nitrate will be made
through county distributors. If the
quantity of nitrate that can be secured
will fill all orders, each farmer
will be allotted the amount applied
for; otherwise it will be necessary to
allot the nitrate proportionately to
those applying for it, so that all may
participate on equal terms in its distribution.

HOUSE DISPATCHES
BUSINESS QUICKLY;
The lower house of the general as-!
semWy quickly cleared the calendar,
last Thursday morning and ajourn- |
c-d within 25 minutes until 10:30,
o*clock. There was little business J
before the house .
The concurrent losolution on good ;
roads legislation by Representative i
Belser from Sumter was adopted
with a slight amendment. The
change was to omit a section by
which the "merged" good ft>ads bill
v ould become a speical order. The
plan is to have a committee of nine,
one from each congressional district
and two from the State at large, to
which committee along with a similar
committee from the senate shall
be submitted all bills relating to a ,
Statewide scheme to build permanent
highways. Out of the lot is to
be evolved a good roads bill, embody
ing the best ideas advanced from all i
measures. (
Mr. R. Cooper from Beaufort in- i
troduced another joint resolution, ,
proposing to call a State constitu- ,
tional convention. This is the fourth '
to be introduced this session, there h

The practical abandonmnet of 40,-} 1
000 acres of Camp Jackson, which 1
has recently been used for a rifle
range, and the further utilization of j
the camp on the remaining 17,000'
became apparent when Senator Pol
lock was advised by the war depnrt-l
rnent authorities to this effect.
The Secretary of Agriculture has
announced that under the authority
of the food-control act and subsequent
legislation the Department of
Agriculture during the coming season
will offer nitrate of soda for
sale to farmers for fertilizer use.
The nitrate will be sold for cash at
cost. The price to the farmers will
be $81 a short ton, free on board cars
at the loading point or port. In adtition,
the farmer will have to pay
the freight charges to unloading |
point and any incidental expenses J
that he may himself incur in connection
with the delivery of the nitrate.

tribution of the nitrate will follow in ,

STATE ITEMS
OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH
CAROLINA PEOPLE
Walterboro is still wrestling with
the influenza epidemic.
%
Snow and sleet were falling over
points in West Texas last week.
The annual meeting of the Equai
Suffrage League of South Carolina
was held in Columbia last week.
There are now about 150 soldiers
from overseas at the base hospital
who are undergoing treatment for
wounds at Camp Jackson.
Dr. C. V. Akin, in charge of influenza
control in the State, received a
request from Troy for a nurse to assist
in combating influenza which is
prevalent in the community.
Dr. C. C. hambrell of Abbeville
has notified Dr. James A. Hayne,
State health officer, that he has returned
to the State after having
been in the army, and is able'to participate
again in matters concerning
the health of South Carolina.
It is a far cry indeed from the
suffering peoples of the distant East
to the childhood of America. But
that city has not gone unheeded, and
just as surely as the grown-ups are
answering that call, as is ever the
way in America, so are the little
folk doing their tiny bit most nobly.
Despite reports recently sent out
from Washington to papers in the
South that the men of the Thirtieth
Division would not embark at Charleston,
the matter was definitely
settled when Secretary Baker informed
Senator Pollock that Charleston
had been designated for this purpose.
This puts all doubt aside.
ADVISES FARMERS
TO INSURE GOnON
r>r. Wade Stackhouse of Dillon, in
speaking of the cotton situation said:
"Farmers in South Carolina arc
po rhaps holding more cotton than
*ver before at this date. With spot
cotton bringing from 23 to 28 cenhs
we have more dollars worth of property
rotting in the weather and uninsured
than we produced cotton in
1014. This is not good business
sense. I would advise to sell cotton
rather than let it rot from expo>uro.
Store cotton in your nearest bonded
warehouse; join wtih your neighbors
in renting some vacant warehouse
space and place a bonded officer in
charge; or pile your cotton on larg *
green pine poles out in a ploughed
field and build a shelter over it. A
house built shelter is far cheaper
than taking chances out in the
weather. Wherever stored see that
j | i i; r'ftVOl'n/l lirltll
"Will cotton advance to 35 cents
or above? I am inclined to think it
will. A very safe plan is to sell
sony; cotton each month in the year.
In that way a average price is secured
for the crop. I especially advise
holding low grade cotton recently
ginned or to be gathered. The present
difference in price between good
oidinary grades and middling is not
warranted.
"All Europe has no available
stocks of cotton or cotton goods to
compare with pre-war conditions.
Germany and her allies con not buy
or own a pound of cotton in America.
The peace treaty will very likely
be signed by April 1. I hope and
believe that there will be a scramble
for the remnant of American cotton
left here from April to August.
"I do not believe the prospect for
25 cents and ?.bovc ?? as good as it
was November 11. The South seems
determined to use a record breaking
fertilizer bill. A large acreage will
be planted. It will not be the fault
of cotton farmers if we do not produce
15,000,000 bales this year. Perhaps
providential happenings will
cause us to make our fifth small

THE RURAL PRESS
! AND FARM LIFE
Clcmson College, Jan. 15.?It is
estimated that 70 or 75 per cent of
the subscribers and readers of coun,
try newspapers either live on the
j farms oi are intercstOAr more or less
directly in operating those farms.
If this is true, it seems that to edit
the county newspaper for its majority
readers means to edit it largely
with farmers and farm folks in
mind.
Such an editing of the country
paper means that considerable space
' should be given to such things as the
j News about the country people,
j News about the business of the
j country; that is, farming.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile* mnlcing
you sick and you lose a i
d%y's work.
Calomel salivates I It's mefccuryt
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug,
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated
and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substitute
for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better \ "
and quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just4*
go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
' -.1- 1 A _ * i._. . 1
sick anu nauseateu tomorrow; De-/
sides, it may salivate you, while
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you .
will wake up feeling great, full of I
ambition and ready for work u
play. It's harmless, pleasant and
safe to give to children; they like it.

WATCH YOUR KIDNEYS.
Inhaling the fumes of turpentine
and white lead often weakens the
kidneys. That's one reason why so
many painters have bad backs and
sick kidneys Exposure, frequent
colds and cnills and the strain of
climbing up and down ladders help
start the trouble. ^
If your back aches, If sharp pains
strike you in the back when stooping,
lifting or working; if you have
headaches, dizziness, rheumatic,
pains; if the urine is discolored or
passages painful and scanty, try
Doan's Kidney Pills, the remdey so
widely used and so well recommend- '
ed by men in the painting trade.
Here's Conway testimony.
Harmon Housend, painter, says:
"I think inhaling the fumes of turpentine
is what weakened my kidneys.
I had to get up very often at
night to pass the kidney secretions,
and they were unnatural. Finally I
got Doan's Kidney Pills at the Conway
Drug Co., and in a short time
my back got stronger and the kid
m:#y at:cn;m?[ifs UUCUITK! natural.
Mr. Housand is only one of many
Conway people who iiave gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If
your back aches?if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a
kidnev remedy?ask distinctly for
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS, the same
that Mr. Housand had?the remedy
