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.

(By Wm. R. Watson)
purpose of this column,
will appear from time to
is to acquaint school patrons
taxpayers with some of the
>lexxi& of the -modem school. 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.

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. Your
druggist has Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin.

We have come to another review
Jetton. 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,

lessons of our quarter have
acquainted with , twelve
pine men . and three
women. 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! Thankful to ;God
should we be for them all.

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.
