J. H. McDonald.
The Barnwell friendis of J. H.
(“Bud”) McDonald, of WUliston, were
shocked to learn of his death Tuesday
morning, less than a week after his

Little Girl Wina Bicycle.
Dorothy, the little-daughter of Mr.

was one of the winners in a nation
wide contest sponsored by the manu
facturers of Quaker Oats, as a result
of., which she has been awarded an
Iver Johnson bicycle. The awards
were made for the best worded mes
sage telling of the superior quality
of oat meal. Dennis Barker, manager
of the local Unity Grocery store, will
also be given a bicytle by the com
pany.
Little William Jenkins, son of Mr.
and Mrs. B. M. Jenkins, Jr., of Kline,
is also one of the lucky winners of a
bicycle, and also Mr. Jenkins, as mer
chant, will be given a bicycle.
Little Miss Greene’s prize-winning
message, “What My Mother Says
About Quaker Oats,” was as follows:
“Quaker Oats,'says* Mother,
Better than all other;
Makes red blood, tough muscle)
Strength and hustle.
Keeps me hungry as a bear;
No nervousness there.”
a chance to wake the State out of the
political lethargy which exists .in off-
election years, in the opinion of Jam
C. 'Derieux, expressed in on article
Today, Raymond Moley’s magazine.
Governor-elect Johnston was a visitor
in Charleston yesterday.
Mr. Derieux, a native South Caro
linian and former managing editor
of the American Magazine, spent last
winter in Charleston writipg and 4p-
ing research work. He is spending
this winter in Summerville. His
magazine article is entitled, “The
Julep Era Wanes."
He says of Johnston in part:
“Since his nomination, he has said
nothing, except that his success has
humbled him. But he has been work
ing in Washington, getting the lay of
things there; at home, building sup
port for his program.
“Will he tackle the tough job of
doing something about the mill vil
lages ? He does not answer the ques
tion. Will the governorship ruin him
politically as it has ruined so many
others? No one knows. South Caro
lina governors as a rule are not very
influential. For most of them, the
job is pleasant in a social way, ad
ministrative. and clerical, rather than
executive. Only two governor* within
forty years have been able to rule
their legislatures—Ben Tillman, back
in ISOO’s, and Richard I. Manning,
from 1914 through 1918.
“But Johnston himself is not dis
turbed. He has the dieep faith in the
people that a man always has after
the people have approved of him. He
says he will fight every day for what
he wants, and he has the energy, the
Sense, the missionary zeal and the
ambition to do it. x x x.
“South Carolina is in need of gen
eral political refreshment. Johnston
js a fresh figure, from a new source
of supply. South Carolina needs ac
tion. Johnston seems to be a man of
action. He has a great chance to do
what so many others have failed to
do—stir the State out of the political
lethargy that settles upon it between
elections, stir it to thinking ii^ terms
of the present and the future, insteat
of ctelighting in the past.”—The New*
and Courier.

Mpre impressive than what any of
them said was the serious mien of the
200 or more farmers who attended the
meeting here Frichy morning to act
on the Bankhead bill. Its extension,
with modification, was requested by an
overwhelming vote, but this does not
mean that Newberry County f n-mers
are entirely satisfied with the opera-
ion of the mrnj^irr J It does signify,
however, that they are almot unani
mously of the apinion that some form
of coercion is necessary to limit the
cotton crop and that only the govern
ment can exert it. This newspaper is
convinced that their reasoning is
sound. Unregulated cotton production
means crops of such enormous size
that none of it can be sold at a profit;
limited crops bring good', prices. If
it required ten years, or 25, to per
fect the principle of compulsory con
trol the effort would be worth while
because it is vital to the economic
well being of the whole South. Any
hardships suffered during the period
cf adjustment and experiment would
be justified by benefits in the follow
ing years. Clearly, opponents of the
Bankhead bill should do more than
seek " its repeal. - They owe it to
themselves* and to pesterity to sug
gest a better plan or to help (perfect
the one in use.
Foreign takings of American cotton
are falling off enormously. - High
prices are encouraging the use of
other fibers. If ever ihe American
cotton farmer'needed the help of his
government it ismow. A living price
for one or a few cotton crops would
be a curse instead of a blessing if
limits were removed because within
a few years the crop would ^ boosted
to 20,000,000 bales. The question for
farmers to decide in December is
whether they have the fortitude an
courage to stick to the Bankhead bill
until its defects are remedied—and
(hey can be—or if they are going to
raise cotton for the balance of their
lives at a loss. They, have never
faced a more critical decision, but a
full understanding of its meaning
should prevent them from making a
mistake.—Newberry Herald and News.

duced here cannot be used because
the stalk of the flax had to be har-
vested before the seed was ntirely
ripe.
Though the Champagne Paper Cor
poration is spending a great deal of!
money in South Carolina no favors
have been asked from the local grow
ers or from the community where
the experiment is being made) The
corporation believes that the money
spent installing machinery here and
experimenting will more than offset
the money spent by the ipen who
grow the crop. The general attitude
of persons now interested is that the',
farmers should, and are willing, to
bear a part of the expense now in
order to establish the industry on a
firm basis and make a profit in the
future.

Estill, Nov. IT.—Flax growing, the
agricultural experiment which attract
ed more attention than any other crop
grown in the South Carolina low"
low country during this century, will
be continued this year on a larger
scale, mfermatron “from Harry H.
Strauss, president of the Champagne
Paper Corporation, of New York City
shows.
Last year 515 acres were planted in
the new crop. This year the paper
company plans to contract with local
farmers for 2,000 acres and the price
will be four dollars more per ton .ban
was paid for the first crop.
Mr. Strauss came to Estill a short
while ago, met with the flax growers
and tried to estimate the cost of pro
duction and assist the local folk in
“getting together” bn the basis of
operation for the future.
On the 515 acres planted in flax in
Hampton County last spring 550 tons
of fiber were produced. This was
found to be only about 50 per cent
of the yield fanners in Canada end
Oregon get to the acre. However, the
Estill planters were not greatly dis-
couraged for weather conditions dur
ing the _year were not of the most
favorable for the flax and the soil
picked for the crop was not entirely
ideal. Furthermore, approximately
seven dollars per acre waa for buying
fertilizer to put under the crop. In
older flax growing countries no ferti
lizer is recommended. Now it will
probably be found),that the cost of
plant food for the crop in South Caro
lina can be reduced. Another factor
which is expected to reduce the coat
of growing flax in South Carolina ia
the “pulling” machine. This year the
,crop was cut with an ordinary reap
ing machine and, consequently a part
of the stalk was left and the tonnage
per acre was lighter. Now Jthe paper
company has ordered a “pulling” ma
chine and experiments will be made
to see if this is not the most econo
mical method of harvesting.
Seed Is Ordered from Oregon.

Stop Chills
and Fever!
Rid YQpr Syttom of Malarial
Shivering with chills one moment add
burning with fever the next—that’s one
of the effects of Malaria. Unless checked,
the disease will do serious harm to your
health. Malaria, a blood infection, calls
for two things. First, destroying the in
fection in the blood.‘Second, building
up the blood to overcome the effects of
the disease and to fortify against further
attack.
Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic supplies
both these effects. It contains tasteless
quinine, which kills the infection in the
blood, and iron, which enriches and
builds up the blood. Chills and fever
soon stop and you are restored to health
and comfort. For half a century, Grove’s
Tasteless Chilt Tonic has been sure relief
for Malaria. It is just as useful, too, as a
general tonic for old and young. Pleasant
to take and absolutely harmless. Safe to
give children. Get a bottle at any store.
Now two sizes—50c sad $1. The $1 tixt
contains 2VS times as much as the SOc
size and gives you 25% more for your
money.
