"COTTON SHIN" IS i OS THE JOB, STANDARDIZES GRADES OF COTTON SC FARMERS CAN GRA9E T-iEIR LINT. I Washington, May 18:?In connection with the passage by the; Senate today of his amendment to 1 the agricultural appropriation bill, making available immediately upon the enactment of the bill an appropriation of $100,000 to place a set of samples of Government standards of cotton, with a set of the yarns made from these samples, at every local cotton market in the boutn, Senator E D Smith said: "I did this because the farmers who sell their cotton are at the mercy of the buyers as to what grades their cotton is. and at the mercy of the buyer as to the value of each grade as compared with the other grades. With a set of these standardized samples each farmer who goes to a market can compare his own cotton with the samples furnished by the Government and determine what grade he has. He can then refer to the yarns made from the grade that his cotton happens to be and determine its relative value to the other grades. In other words, this appropriation will furnish him with the same knowledge that every mil' man and every buyer has, and, therefore, put him on an equal footing with them. With this knowledge he should demand the full value of every grade of his cotton. "Several vears ago a bill was passed by Congress to standardize the grad?s of cotton. When I came to the Senate I found that these standards were lying very serenely in the Agricultural department. The New Orleans market had adopted these grades, but had added other grades, both above and below. New York had paid no attention to them. I had an appropriation made to test the relative spinning value of these different grades and the result of this test I have sent broadcast over the State. With my amendment, which passed today, the legislation is now almost complete, so far as the cotton farmer is concerned. "I promised the farmers of the State when I came to the Senate that I would attempt to relieve the burdens of this cotton problem. If the farmer does not now get the full value of every grade of his cotton, he is alone to blame, for the knowledge is furnished him. It was very flattering to me and very gratifying that the vote in the Senate appropriating this $100,000 was more than three to one in favor of it. The pity of it is that the knowledge we now have could not have been given us years ago." Dispensary Board Meets.

Kingstree women know how the aches and pains that often come when the kidneys fail make life a burden. Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, are frequent indications of weak kidneys and should' be checked in time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. They attack kidney diseases by striking at the cause. Can Kingstree sufferers desire stronger proof this woman's word? Mrs J Q James, E Broad St, Darlington, S C, says: "For a long time I suffered from severe backaches, headaches, dizzy spells and other symptoms of kidney complaint. I used two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills as directed and thev not only relieved the aches and pains, but removed the trouble with the kidney secretions. I shall never forget the benefit I had."
