[I (mf V ^ The Chesterfield Advertiser PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Subscription Rates: $1.50 a Year; ix months, 76 cents.?Invariably in advance. Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at Chesterfield, South Carolina. ~PAUL H. HEARN Editor and Publisher. THE RUIN OF FAIR FRANCE Mr. James A. Ilolloman, a staff correspondent, of the Atlatna Constitution, who recently returned from France, is writing some intensely interesting sketches as to conditions in the section of the country over which the Germans marched. In a Sunday ride through the wreck and ruin of the war area of France and Belgium he describes conditions that are horrible to contemplate?conditions caused by German barbarism and inhumanity. We quote only a few extracts from the thrilling story of German invasion of beautiful sunny France: "Passing through one village, I recall there were only two partial roofs left in the waste of ruins, and under these the families that had fled four Vears smo worn limlilliwl nirnin thn women in black, for tho men of the households who had surrendered their lives in the defense of those very homes. Not another building stood in the village, though the American military police had a camp there to see that protection was afforded the returning refugees, who were stuqificd by the problem of rehabilitation. " 'That town,' said Dr. Dunning, 'had a happy, contented peasant population of more than a thousand at the outbreak of the war. It is historic and cited by Thomas Carlyle for the memorable incidents that have made old France famous in the pages of ancient history.' " "And thus it is all over the territory once occupied by the Germans. They swept it clean. They destroyed every vostage of property; they emptied the wine eeilers; they cut down the orchards; they tore up the soil; they even stole the brick from the fallen walls and lined their dugouts, and built walks around their camps and chimneys to their tents. They left no salvage?only the marks of their bloody trail "There are no differences i|i the scenes, To picture one French village that fell prey to German invasion is to picture them all." Is it any wonder that the peace terms given the Germans are called severe? That t'hy should still be allowed to live on the earth is more than they could reasonably exnect. WHAT YA MEAN. DEMOCRATS? The Advertiser has a crow to pick with the Kentucky Democrats. For the life of us we cannot imagine why they permitted the Republicans to defeat the Hon. Swager Sherlcy, the member of Congress from the Louisville district. This editor, "bred in old Kentucky," resents this action of our fellow Democrats. As chair mag of the great Appropriations Committee, the most important committee in Congress during the war period, Mr. Sherlcy worked night and day to make the appropriation Dills satisfactory to all concerned in the great war work of the nation. That he succeeded ir: this is proven by hghest praise from Republicans as well as Democrats. \Ve cou1-' <i vie scores of voluntary tributes t?, Mi. Sherley as to his zeal, his cm-r y and his ability devoted to this vital legislation, but have only room at present for this extract from the speech of Mr. (ireene, of Vermont, i en from the Congressional Record : " ihe gentleman from Kentucky has given us very interesting information as to how some of these items came to be scaled down into practical figures for anpropriations. 1 think his alway. characteristic modesty, however, has prevented his suggesting to this# committee what some of us know, that a very large, a very serious, a..d a very important part of the scrutiny of this hill which has resulted in th< savings for the government was performed hy the chairman of the committee, Mr. .Sherley, personally, through long and wearisome labor and application." (Applause ). Democrats of I.ouisville, what's the matter with you'.' The man elected may be alright, but Sherley was THE man _____ I A JUBILANT FORECAST This * loquent and forceful para- '< graph is from an editorial in The Au- ' gusta Chronicle on the end of the world war: t "Out of the crucible of waste and < war shall come the pure gold of a world democracy Let us hope that t the dream of a league of nations shall t become a living, pulsing, vital reality, and that the rights of the 'little \ peoples' shall he as much respected j J because they are rights, and not be-'t MUM they are hwJted by might" U rhinks' tanlac saved ? HER FROM THE HOSPITAL 3NCE AFRAID TO EAT BECAUSE OF SUFFERING WHICH FOLLOWED SHE GAINED FIFTEEN POUNDS Instead of Living on Bread and Watert Diet She Now Eati Heartily "I was so afraid to eat because of the suffering food caused me that i had been living on bread and water when 1 heard what a wonderful new medicine-called Tanlac was doing for others. And just think of it, i have been saved from the hospital and have gained fifteen pounds." THlC U'UO ?o*?naef ^ Mrs. Edwin C. Shell, of 6 Main Ave., Schnectndy, N. Y., that shows the wonderful record this new reconstructive tonic , system purifier and stomachic is making. "What a blessing Tanlac has been 'o me," Mrs. Shell continued, and iier words have been echoed by thouands of other nWn and women. 'For more than three years," said Mrs. Shell, who is the wife of a well cnown business man, "1 suffered. When I tried to eat ordinary food it would not digest but would sour and ferment and cause gas, bloating and ,>ains. The pains would extend even o my chest and I would have a feeing of suffocation and shortness of oreath. Some nights I would get only two or three hours sleep. When .he stifling spells came I would have co sit up. When I tried to do housework I would have to sit and rest every little while. I was losing flesh and strength every day Afrid oh, how miserable I was! "After I had taken the Tanlac treatment I did not have a bit more trouble with my stomach?not even indigestion. I could eat anything. I slept fine and always felt good. I did not tire out after mv work and I could even do my washing. With good digestion and tine sleep I began to build up right away and was not surprised when I began to gain in weight. Fnally I gained 15 pounds. I am very glad to tell everyone about fanlac."

Adv WANT 35 CENT COTTON At a meeting in Atlanta of representative cotton producers pledges were made not to sell ootton for less than 35 cents. A resolution was unanimously adopted urging farmers to hold their cotton for a fair price to cover cost of production and a fair margin of profit. The president of the Farmers' Union of Alabama offered a resolution that the powers and functions of the Hoard of War Industries be dissolved with the declaration of peace. The discussion of a minimum price for cotton was quite animated with many conflicting opinions. Some ol" jcction was made as to fixing a" (1y price for cotton, it being claimed by ^hose holding this view that the government had been criticized fo'.- proposing to do this vpry thijng. Before adjourning, however, thirty-live cents was agreed u'pon as a minimum. Among other prominer.t southern leaders was Governor Manning, of South Carolina, who to-ok a prominent part in the discussion of this important subject.
