HEARN ,. # Editor and Publisher. ? a, A GOOD MOVEMENT On another page appears the announcement of an important meeting to be held in Pageland on Monday, January 8th. This meeting is arranged by the C. & L. and S. A. L. Railway Companies and is part of an extensive movement for industrial improvement in all the territory traversed by -.1 A :_i: i>_:i 1 vuc utuwutvm rxii mic: uiiuruuu. It is sai?i that much of the soil between Chesterfield and Pageland is well adapted to the growing of watermelons and cantaloupes, but the marketing facilities for these products have been lacking. It is understood that the railroads mentioned will offer to find* the market if sufficient lands can be pledged for the growing of these crops. It is also said that the S. A. L. will supply the farmers with seed. We believe it will amply repay the farmers of this section to attend this meeting. A FINE TRIBUTE When they were disputing in congress the other day about the cause of the Democratic triumph in the recent election Congressman Fitzgerald gave this as the explanation: "The President was re-elected because his administration of the affairs of the United States has been the most successful, the most statesmanlike, the most progressive and the most admired of any President since the time of Washington." As Mr. Fitzgerald is the chairman of the great committee on appropriations and is one of New York's greatest statesmen, his eulogy of the President is an evidence of the high regard in which President Wilson is held by leadinir men of the notion An exchange begins an article, "When the war is over in Europe." Well the war is over in Europe now and is likely to be over there for sonic ' time in the future. The German Emperor's cry for, peace is like that of the man who wis beatinjr his wife when the neighbors rushed in. "Peace, Nance, peace! All 1 want is peace," said the old reprobate. MINORITY LEADER MANN Congressman Gardner, of Massachusetts, wants to repudiate the leadership of Coi pressman Mann, the., minority lead>j^^P)?c trouble with Mr. GurdmjjMi^Tiiat he cannot realize thivt \lushes was defeated and Wilson elected. Mr. Gardner thinks, or thinks he thinks that Mr. Mann is too I quick to acepet results of the late election. Mr. Gardner wants to supersede Mr. Mann as leader in the House of the Republican party. His candidate is Congressman Lcn-rool, of Wisconsin, (not related, by the way, to Ex-Senator Elihu Root, of New York). It is to be hoped that Mr. Mann will retain the leadership of the Republican party in Congress as V... V..... ..U u:_ if .-i I jiv iuid auvf\> ii inmrsi'i i i?> ui' mure nuoral in his views than some oilier Republicans in congress. As a sample of Mr. Mann's kindness of heart and freedom from political prejudice we quote the kind remarks he made upon the occasion of the first anniversary of the marriage of the President. Mr. Mann said: "Mr. Speaker, the beauty of Ameri|can politics is that we accept the results and retain friendly personal relations. .Mr. Wilson has been reelected President of the United States. I did not contribute in that direction. Rut to-day, 1 am informed and believe, is the anniversary of a very important day in his life, and I wish to felicitate him and Mrs. Wilson on the happy union which occurred one year ago and to wish for them a continuance of that happiness and a long and pleasant life." Another instance of Mr. Mann's broad mind- and liberal heart, is the reference he made to the long service in congress of Mr. Pago, of North Carolina, who is voluntarily retiring from congressional life. We quote from the Congressional Record: "I make it a practice, ami have | (lone so for many years, of privately receiving advice from, suggestions and information from members on the Democratic side, though I do not always give them credit in public. I have frequently had the honor and the pleasure of seeking advice of the gentleman from North Carolina. The House has learned to rely very largely upon his judgment and to have the highest regard for his opinion. The gentleman from North Carolina goes out of the House purely on his own hahtion.

One *3?* 1, ' ' i ?'i? ? www Farm Loan Bank Gomes to Columbia Washington, Dec. 27.?Springfield, Mass.; Baltimore, Columbia, S. C.; Louisville, New Orleans, St. Louis, St. Paul, Omaha, Wichita,Kunsas; Houston, Texas; Berkeley, Cal., andSpokane have been chosen as locations for federal farm loan banks. The 12 districts into which the country is divided were announced by the farm loan board today as follows: District No. 1?Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,RhotW: Island, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. District No. 2?Pennsylvania, Dela- j ware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia ami the District of Columbia. District No. .'1?North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia ami Florida.

District No. 10?Texas. District No. 11?California, Nevada, Utah and Ari/.onia. District No. 12?Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. Considered Farm Loan Needs. "In determining the federal land bank districts and in designating the cities within such districts where federal land banks shall he located," the ifficial announcement says, "the federal farm loan board has given careful consideration to the farm loan needs of the country. The board held public hearings in nearly every state in the Union and in this manner collected information of great value in determining its decision. "Kvery reasonable opportunity has been afforded to applicant cities to furnish evidence to support their claims as locations of federal lard banks. More than 75 cities applied to be designated as the headquarto. > I of a bank and were heard through representative committees and individuals." The banks will he established as soon as practicable. Kach will have a capital of $750,000. Applications for loans have been pouring in to tl e board in great volume recently ami it is estimated that a sum more than 20 times in excess of the combim <i actual stock could be used in making loans. Almost the first work of the ban I s after approving and issuing loans, will be the issuance of farm loan bonds, a new for,?.-oi sorority Uvlhvs country. f*he bonds will be issued in denominations as small as $25, it is expected, and will hear interest at a rate of 1 per cent less than the interest rate charged farmers on their loans. What this interest rate will be has not been definitely deteimined.lt is limited by law to a maximum of > per cent. The expectation is that it will not exceed 5 V-j per cent at first ar i subse'iuently may he lowered. i.oans on tanning land arc limite by law to 50 per cent of the va'.nc of the land and may bo payable in I'm.; five to <10 years. As fast as loam are made, bonds will be issued t cover them, so that at no time, under the present plan, will a bank's entin capital be tied up in loans to the detriment of other applicants. One o1 the chief tasks now confronting lieboard is to find experienced employ ees for the new banks. More than 6,000 applications have been received The appointments will be oxemp. from ? ivi 1 service regulations,but th board intends to assemble a corps of men experienced in banking. ALL ARE LIABLE FOR MILITARY SERVICE Every able-bodied male citizen of the United States between the age : of IX and b"> years is held liabie fot service in the National (luard in war time, without further act of Congress, by War Department regulations foi the (fovernment of the (Juv.rd issue.i under th<- National defense act. In a circular prepared nearly twomonths ago, hut made public only today the militia bureau directs that where a National (luard regiment is called out for war service, a reserve training battalion to fiil vacancies at the front shall be ori'inii/crl out nf the National Guard reserve and by voluntary enlistment. "If for ar.y reason," the order continues, "there shall not be enough re servists or enough voluntary enlist ment to organize or to keen the re rorve battalions at prescribed strength a sufficient number of the unorganized militia shall be drafted by the President to maintain sueh battalion or other lesser reserve unit at the prescribed strength." The language follows closely tha" of the National defense act, in which the unorganized militia is defined as including every able-bodied male citizen within the prescribed age limit or those who have declared their intention of lippnminif fitivnno The National Guard regulations, which will be amplified in great detail also strike at the problem of defWHjJ*^ families of soldiers which has cos^Nl^^a^torninent several millions of dollarW^?j?iyth rough the border mobilizatiun^N^totayjjpe officers for the National (iunW|j|^yHrccted to discourage the cnlistm^^QM married men or those with others dependent upon them.

SPARTANBURG WOMAN HAS AT LAST OVERCOME HER MULTITUDE OF TROUBLES, SHE DECLARES "It is just wonderful the way Tanlac built my strength," said Mrs. N. J. Rollins, of 110 Jennings S?t?, Spartanburg, in a statement she gave September Gth in endorsement of Tanlac. j "For four years I was so sickly and weak that I could not go to see my mother, who will be a hundred years of age on her next birthday. She uvus only a few miles from here," continued Mrs. Rollins. "iMy health was very bad and I suffered a great deal from weakness, indigestion and constipation," said Mrs. Rollins. "I hud no appetite at all, and many a day I would eat only a few bites during the day, and I was so weak I could not do anything without having to go to bed for a while. I lost weight until I became skin and bones only. "All the time I suffered with headaches and spells of 'swimming in the head,' which almost drove me crazy. If I rode in a buggy, I would have vomiting spells, and 1 had several of these attacks before I found out what caused them, and with them I had awful sick headaches. "For three months before I began taking Tanlac 1 had sick headaches every day, but I have not had them since I began taking Tanlac and when the first bottle of Tanlac was taken the headaches were gone. "We had heard so much about Tanlac, we were influenced to buy it because ot what it had done for others, and Tanlac has given me wonderful relief in every way. It is just the best medicine anyone ever took. It quickly gave me a better appetite ami l cat a lot. My nerves are better and I am free of those terrible headaches. My system is in good order and I feel wonderfully improved in every way. I am strong now and I am not troubled with weakness. It s ju*>t wonderful the way Tanlac built up my strength. The Tanlac relieved the constipation, too. I gaind a good deal of weight, too, though I was so poor I could hardly go when 1 began taking Tanlac. "1 now recommend Tanlac because it did me more good than all the doctors 1 ever had and all the other medicines I ever took. I think there is nothing like Tanlac, and I sure can and do praise it." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by The Chesterfield Drug Co., Chesterfield, S. C.; T. E. VVannainaker & Sons, Cheraw; Mt. Croghnn Drug Co., Mt. Croghan, S. C.; McBee Drug Co., Mcllee, S.

With the steady and rapid increase in he acreage planted in Velvet Beans .ii this state, there are many inquiries for information regarding this crop. 1 he Velvet Bean has been grown in Florida for over 4(1 years, but first >nly as an ornamental plant. As soon is its value as a forage and soil improving crop became known, experinents were made to compare its value with the better known leguminous rops, peanuts and cowpeas. As a forage crop for grazing hogs and eat.le it will probaly outrank the cowpea .n the coastal areas of this state. The farmers al present are not as familar villi it as they are with cowpeas and peanuts , but no doubt once they have nade a test with velvet beans the icreage will he increased. To improve ur sandy soils the velvet bean has no qual. With the advance of the boll weevil he farmer will necessarily be forced to turn to soil building and forage rtfps in order that he will be able to I feed the additional stock which must necessarily take the place of much of he cotton now grown. After proper Irainage, vegetable matter is the most important thing in building up ur soils. The leguminous crops, ow i.if; iw nu n iniriiccn garnering properties are the most valuable for supplying humus to the soils.The velvet bean, owing to the enormous amount of growth wil outrank all other le,'umi's in supplying this needed vegetable matter. In addition to its value as soil builder, it is an excellent forage crop. The seed can be ground .nto meal, grinding the seed in the pod, just as corn is ground on the cob. I'll is makes an excellent feed f<ur all <ind of stock. Velvet Bean seed will be high next spring. Buy your seed now while they are cheap, und hold them over until planting ime.
