"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."

WHEN HER BACK ACHES

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."

There <s more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure w ith
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure.manufactured by F J Cheney
& Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure
on the market. It is taken internally. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.
