The United States Govern ment granted Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company the right to use '‘Chesterfield”for cigarettes VEHS means that the Chesterfield formula—that is, the leaf and the manufacturing formula—is dif ferent from that of other cigarettes. For a cigarette to be milder and to taste better, it has to have in it ripe, mild, mellow tobacco, and the right quantity of the right kinds of Turkish tobacco. Then the cigarette has to be made right. You can prove for yourself that Chesterfields are not like other ciga rettes. They’re milder... they taste better. and cn how much was salvaged for- nay. \ In comparison with the forecasts'- of a month ago the greatest im- orovement in prospects is shown, by grain, sorghums, buckwheat and tobacco. Somewhat better yields or prospects are indicated for spring; wheat, oats, rice, hay, beans, sweet- potatoes and sugar beets and nom inal gains are indicated for com, barley and potatoes. Fruit prospects declined slightly -during August be cause of storm damage in eastern apple orchards and probably de clined several per cent more during the first week of September when storms swept the citrus groves of South Florida and Texas. The- storm also caused very heaVy dam age to tomatoes in the Atlantic coast area. Although crop prospects improv ed 1 per cent during August, yields are still expected to be about 23 per cent less than the average yearly production during the last ten years and 15 per cent less than in any year of that period. The de crease in feed grain production more than offsets the large carry over cf corn and oats on farms and indicates a total supply slightly less than in 1930 when there was less livestock on hand. Fruit pro duction is now expected to be about 13 per cent below average. The ton nage of the principal vegetables- grown for canning and manufact uring purposes is expected to be nearly 15 per cent below the light- supply of last year and 31 per cent less than average production dur ing the preceding five years. txi 690,000 Bales Forecast For South Carolina* • * ‘ J MILDER TASTES BETTER Jgl4953, Liggett & Mybrs Tobacco Co. ■\ ■ tr Schools F- (By Wm.

It the -belief of the writer that much' of the unfavorable criticism of the school# today is due to the fact that the public ‘ generally is uninformed or misinformed about the schools. ' * Let .it be understood at the out- aet that this column will not un dertake to set right all the sup posed ills of our school system. * Much tharwill be said is one man's opinion and therefore it is not ex pected that everyone will agree with his opinions. We cordially in- • vtte constructive Criticism and sup- - port on 'the part- of our readers. If • this column arouses more sympttj thetic and intelligent support df the public schools, it will have at tained one of its mam objectives. Textbook Changes * There is no evil combination of teachers and textbook publishers behind the adoption of textbooks as some folk£ want to believe. In deed the teachers, having once be come familar with a text, would find it much easier to continue teaching that text than to have to become familiar with a new one. The State Board of Education changes books when changes are made. Adoptions are made for a five year period. The law permits only one fourth of the books of a grade to be changed in any one year. It would take four years com pletely to change all the books In a grade. Since the average life of a school book is only two years, the only objection comes from those who would have their children use ragged, marked and “broken-back" books. 'As a matter of fact the State School Board has changed less than one fifth of the books over a period of several years. Books have to be changed because they become out of date. A book published in 1926 contains no reference to Col. Lind bergh, for instance. Science is an ever-changing field, and it is there fore necessary to make frequent book revisions to keep up with what Is going on. Even so stable a sub ject as mathematics must be fre quently revised to be realistic. What would our pupils today i think of the text of a few years Science Today use a LIQUID Laxative ! September Crop j Reports Given t jyV CLarles E. Otxtatt* Any hospital offers evidence of the harm done by harsh laxatives that drain the system,'weaken the bowel muscles, and in some cases even affect the liver and kidneys. A doctor will tell you that the unwise choice of laxatives is a com mon cause of chronic constipation. Fortunately, the public is fast returning to the use of laxatives in liquid form. A properly prepared liquid laxa tive brings a perfect movement. There is no discomfort at the time and no weakness after. You don’t have to take “a double dose” a day or two later. * In buying any laxative, always read the label. Not the claims, but the contents. If it contains one doubtful drug, don’t take it. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a prescriptional preparation in which there are no mineral drugs. Its in gredients are on the label. By using it, you avoid danger of bowel strain^ You can keep the bowels regular, and comfortable; you can make constipated spells as rare as colds. The liquid tesf: This test has proved to many men and women that their trouble was not “weak bowels,” but strong cathartics: First. Select a good liquid laxa tive. 2. Take the dose you find is suited to your system. 3. Gradually reduce the dose until bowels are moving regularly without any need of stimulation. Syrup pepsin has the highest standing among liquid laxatives, and is the one generally used. It contains senna, a natural laxative which is perfectly safe for ^NRA< the youngest child.

It has been a pleasure to atudy the personalities and careers jtf. some representative early Jead- ' era of the Hebrew folk. Carlyle, in ■ his .famous “Heroes ajid Hero-Wor- etahip,” tells us that history “is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here.” A great man, he further savs, “is the living light-fountain, which it is good and piaasant to be near.” Now while Carlyle ddubtless exaggerates , the significance of the great lead er and underestimates the import- - ance of those underlying social . forces that produce him. his rever- * cnee for heroes is sound and whole- * ‘5'when the high heart we magnify, .

We started with Joshua, the embodiment of obedience, then shook hands with Caleb, that cour ageous explorer, and next met De borah, the Bible’s Joan of Arc. Then we skioped ahead, for a moment, and listened to Isaiah hurling thun derbolts against the evil-doers of his day. Returning to the early per iod, we saw Gideon and his three hundred launch their spectular at tack against the Midianites. 1 The scene now changes to the charming idyl of Ruth, one of the ‘•weetest love stories in the world. Then we listened to the fervent prayer of Hannah for the gift of Samuel, and studied the biography of that forceful Judge. Saul, the most tragic figure in the Old Test ament, so splendid in his beginning, so miserable in his end, next con fronted us, followed by David, the shepherd boy who rose to be the most cherished of Israel’s kings. The noble-hearted Jonathan then engaged our attention, and, finally, wo sat at the feet of Solomon, the wisest. What an inspiring list of heroes and heroines!

Apple production at Columbia, Sept. 14.—A cotton crop of 690,000 bales is forecast for South Carolina by the United' States Department of Agriculture, based on conditions as of Septem ber 1. This is 101,000 bales below the August forecast of 791,000* bales, the decline being due to gen erally unfavorable weather, plant rust and weevil damage. * The area in cultivation on July T this year was estimated at 1,779,000 acres. Of this amount approximate ly 426,000 acres were removed under contract with the Agricultural Ad justment Administration, which, to gether with the September 1 esti mate of 7,000 acres abandoned;. leaves 1,346,000 acres remaining for harvest. The condition of the crop was re ported at 64 per cent of normal, which compares with 77 per cent a month ago. 52 per cent on Septem ber 1 last vear and the 10-year av erage, 1922-31. of 55 per cent. The September 1 indicated yield per acre was 245 pounds lint, com pared with a final yield of 206' pounds last year and the 10-year average of 201 pounds. The present forecast is 26,000 bales below the 1932 crop and indi cates the smallest crop since 1922 whun-only 492,000 bales were made. The Census report shows 51,000 running bales ginned in South' Carolina prior to September 1. com pared to 20,000 last year, 16,000 irr 1931, and 50,000 in 1930. txt Lockwood Names , Lions Chairmen I The State, Sept. 15.
