NEW HOPE
New Hope, Dec. 12.?We are now
having some real winter time. We
are in hopes that the weather will be
clear and cold for Christmas. We
can't realize that only a few more
days and the gladdest and the merriest
of all the year will be here. As
the time draws nearer that great
Christmas feeling and spirit prevails
everywhere. We all look forward to
Christmas with a good feeling that
takes us back to Santa Claus days.
Cuess all the children are now busy
writing letters to Santa Claus, in .
which they are expressing just what
they want him to bring.
Hope our editor's appeal to Santa
Claus will be fully realized Christmas.

West Springs, Dee. 12.?The farm-. ?
ers are all about through gathering
their small crops. Cotton was very ^
short and corn was almost a com- *
plete failure. *
A great deal of prain has been sown- j
in the past few weeks. Almost every- ^
one has some wheat and oats sown.
Althouph cotton is a pood price, the ^

tion with flour at $9.00 per barrel. g
It hardly pays to prow cotton at any s
price to buy it. a

PUTS COTTON CROP
AT 11,511,000 BALES
Government Report Makes Another
Reduction in Estimated Yield
for the Year.
Washington, Dec. 11.?Another reduction
in the estimated size of this
year's cotton crop was recorded today
in the Department of Agriculture's
final report, putting the production at
11,511,000 equivalent 500 pound bales,
exclusive of linters. That is 126,000
bales less than forecast after the lowest
condition report in October.
Indications at the beginning of the
growing season were that a crop of
approximately 14,266,000 bales would
be produced but storms and insect.-,
wrought havoc with the grow:ng
plants as the season progressed. The
acreage planted was the fourth largest
on record.
The average price a pound paid to
producers of cotton on December 1
was 19.6 cents. At that price the season's
crop is worth $1,079,351,616, exclusive
of the value of linter cotton
and seeds.
The record crop was grown in 1914
when 16,134,930 bales were produced.

In spite of the heavy

HAD LITTLE HOPE OF
EVER RETURNING HOME
In This Frame of Mind, Mrs.
Evans Left to Visit
Daughter.
TOOK GOOD ADVICE
"It is Just Wonderful," Says Starr
Woman, Telling How She Combatted
Troubles.
After suffering twelve years, the
last several months of which were so
severe that she believed herself on the
verge of the grave, Mrs. Ella Evans,
of Starr, S. C., Route 4, found great
and almost complete relief in the first
bottle of Tanlac she took. "It seemed
almost like a miracle the way Tanlac
worked," she said.
Mrs. Evans was interviewed at the
home of her son-in-law, C. C. Crocker,
of 11 Prince Street, Anderson. Her
statement follows:
"I suffered very badly from stomach
trouble for twelve years before I began
taking Tanlac, and it seemed that
no medicine would break up my trouble.
Frequently I would have terrible
spells, and my heart, stomach and
nerves would get out of order all at ,
once and I would nearly die with these
attacks. I had lost hope and T did not
U-l! T ??
ueueve x wouin ever pet well. Also I
had a very had bowel trouble with
these attacks. My nerves were in a
terrible fix and my heart fluttered a
preat deal.
"I could not sleep well, and I was
so weak I could hardly walk. Thouph
1 had the best of medical attention.
I pot no better. T live in the country,
hut when I came here to visit relatives
1 did not know that I would live to pet
hack home.
"My relatives here persuaded me to
take Tanlac and I consented. I have
just finished my first bottle. I am
a preat deal stronper now in every
way and I have not had one of those
attacks since I bepan takinp Tanlac.
My nerves are much stronper, and my
stomach, liver, bowels and heart have
been strenpthened and repulatcd. I
have a pood appetite now, also.
"The very first dose of Tanlac
broupht a chanpe for the better and it
seemed like a miracle the way Tanlac
worked. I stopped all other treatment
when I bepan Tanlac. In every
way Tanlac has made my health better
and I believe I am on the road to complete
recovery. It is just wonderful."

HEARING JANUARY 8
ON EIGHT-HOUR LAW
Washington, Dec. 11.?Determination
by the Supreme Court of the con
stitutionality of the Adamson law in
time for congress to enact any desired
supplementary legislation at this session
was regarded as assured today
when the court advanced the test case '
for argument on January 8.
The court granted the government's
motion to' expedite the Missouri, Oklahoma
and Gulf railroad case, in
which Federal Judge Hook held the
Adamson Act void. Hearings were set
for immediately after the Christmas
holidays and ahead of all other important
cases already assigned for
January 8.
There had been some hope of having
the case heard before Christmas,
as the Adamson Act becomes effective
January 1. All interests are believed
to be conserved pending the court's
decision, however. Special accounts of
wages due employes under the law
will be kept and au other litigation
will be held in abeyance by agreement
between the government and the railroads
until the decision is given.
