Now shall we criticize, abuse, and denounce the men who by these tests show themselves selfish, little-hearted, little-souled? No, let's try appreciation of the generous men rather than depreciation of the selfish ones. Already too many of our people are so busy criticising, abusing and denouncing all the bad they find in the world, (and making themselves miserable thereby) that they ne'ver get time to praise and encourage the good?and increase their own happiness thereby.

But lemon juice ? alone is aeid, therefore irritating, and j should be mixed with orchard white J this way. Strain through a fltie cloth ( the juice of two fresh lemons into < a bottle containing about three i ounces of orchard white, then shake J well and you have a whole quarter 1 pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be 1 sute to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smothen anu beautify the skin. Any druggist will suppy three ounces of orchard white at very lit- i tie cost and the groeer has the lemons. Adv 5* . nn.sr? I I I liftUhMil - ? WW W W \/V CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM rhe State: Legislation, constructive in char icter and comprehensive in scope vas outlined by R. A. Cooper, ol Laurens,, who yesterday took tht >ath of office as governor of South Carolina. In the inaugural address Mr. Coop ?r commits himself definitely to i policy of granting few pardons, i itrict enforcement of the laws of th< State, and calls for strengthening ol the prohibition laws so as to reduce the menace of drunkenness incident to the sale of compounds, extract: ind patent medicine with a high al :oholic content.. The new chief executive also calli for a continuance of the State Coun lil of Defense, for which an appro priation of $5,000 is being asked. Better educational facilities ha: been one of the chief planks of Mr Cooper's platform in his different campaigns, and he now calls for th< snactment of a Statewide compul jory attendance law, for all pupil: between the ages of eight and 14, t( be increased to 16 as soon as condi Lions justify. "Military training wai :ompulsory in time of war," Mr Cooper emphasizes. "If you woulr ivoiu conditions tnai lend to war make school attendance compulsorj in times of peace." Also in keeping with his campaigr utterances, Mr. Cooper calls for tht abolishment of the scholarship to aic indigent young men and women tc procure an education. In lieu there>f, he advocates the establishment o1 i State loan fund, without interest .0 be repaid in four annuul installnents. The first payment under the ilan would become due within twe rears after graduation. Mr. Cooper favors a central board ?r commission to direct the policy of ill State colleges, which plan he alsc suggests may be applied to penal and harituble institutions. Taxes a Problem A large portion of Mr. Cooper's ad Iress is given to the problem of tax eforms. The system now obtaining s unbusiness-like, he says. He re derates his expectation of no reduc .ion in taxes. The greatest deficien y of the present system is the ungual distribution of tax burdens, The plan he is advocating is, when he appropriation resolution is fixed he general assembly, by joint resoution, shall apportion the amount tc he various counties according to taxible wealth. This would necessitate he maintenance of the present tax ommission or other central board o procure antL submit necessary in'ormation in making the county aplortionment. The county would be tubdivided according to townships >r school districts. A health survey by the State board >f health, with the school district, it irgently recommended. The war, he >oints out, has brought to the people i keen realization of the necessity ;o better the physical fitness of the >eople. "Our people, if we are adeluately to safeguard the future, nust be physically and morally clean is well as mentally vigorous." The ceremony of inducting the Governor into office occurred Tueslay afternoon at 1 :05 o'clock. The rath was administered by Associate Fustice R. C. Watts, of Cheraw, naive of Laurens County, and the intugural prayer was offered by the Kev. S. H. Templeton, D.D., pastor >f Mr. Cooper's home church. As toon as Mr. Cooper had been sworn n the keys to the executive offices vere presented by Governor Manring, who also made a brief and lomplimentary speech. Governor Hooper then delivered his inaugural tddress, embodying the policies of lis administration. At the conclusion rf Governor Cooper's speech, Juniis T. Liles, of Orangeburg, took the r^th of office as lieutenant governor. Other elective State officers were iworn in in the office of W. Banks love, secretary of state. These vere: W. Hunks Dove, Columbia, sec etary of state; S. M. Wolfe, Anderw?n, attorney general; Kut. L. Os>orne, Anderson, comptroller generil; W. W. Moore, Burnwell, adjutant jeneral; S. T.

Vinc.A I LUI I UN BROKER HAS I BIG SCHEME FOR HOLDING Following an address in the after. noon and another at night in Columbia on Tuesday by Daniel J. Sully, r of New York, famous cotton bull, the . South Carolina Stat* f armers' Union i appointed a committee of six to go to Atlanta on Monday to confer with . a committee from that State as to a i plan of organization of a cotton corporation to which this State should 1 furnish $1,000,000 capital as its pro' portionate share, according to the plan of Mr. Sully. The committee consisted of B .Harris, commissioner of agriculture; J. P. Matthews, banki er, of Columbia; R. M. Mixon of Barnwell, J. H. ClalTy of Orange..-.I T r> ? >?L'' ? uu.n aii<i o. \j. ij. vynue 01 c;nester, 5 farmers, and H. (J. Kaminer of Richland county, merchant. The purpose of the corporation is to hold cotton until a price proportionate with its value is obtained. "If a farmers' organization could control 500,000 bales of spot cotton, what would be the effect?" shouted a member of the audience at the meeting. And Sully didn't hsitate a moment. "You'd get 45 cents a pound," he answered and the crowd cheered vigorj ously. "What is cotton worth?" asked an' other man. "Forty cents, uncondi' tionally," said Sully, and ugain the crowd cheered. ' Mr. Sully had delivered his ad' dress urging the farmers to get together and form a Southwide organization to cohtrol the selling and . holding of cotton. He had made a marked impression, and his auditors had time and again interrupted his discourse, which had "listened good." It was the livest, most enthusiastic gathering of farmers that Columbia I has ever seen. There was an air of optimism and a hope of better days for the cotton producer that cropped j out frequently. The speaker had hardly closed his remarks when some one usked what would such an organization cost the individual farmer? The answer came quickly, "Ten dollars each." ^ "The cotton planters," he said, "proprietors of the greatest gold producing staple in the world, arc rich in possibilities yet exceedingly poor in practical certainties. They are, to' all intents and purposes, in practical I financial servitude. Your greatest asset is your greatest humiliation. Other factors, by far sighted policy, intense activity and commercial alertness have taken advantage of this wonderful product and have multiplied incredibly their fortunes at your expense. "I um convinced," said Mr. Sully, "that the lack of an efficient business ^ organization has kept the producer in his present state." I At the conclusion of the address ( Mr. A. F. Funderburk, of Pageland, offered a resolution to the effect that it was the sense of the meeting that | each one present when he returns home should constitute himself a committee of one to speak to his neighbors concerning the organization un-1 | der consideration in order to hold cotton for better prices. j PATRICK, ROUTE 1 We are glad to report that Mrs. Isabella Roscoe is improving, after a few days illness.

The war department announced today that three famous National Guard divisions?the Twenty-seventh (New York), Thirtieth, now known as the "Old Hickory" division, and the Thirty-seventh (Buckeye), had been ordered to prepare for embarkation. There was no information as to when the divisions would start from French ports, but heretofore it has required several weeks for units to embark after being assigned to early convoy. Divisions having a distinguished fighting record and others having a distinctive local identity in the United States, will be kept together after their return from France until they can be paraded at home and receive the welcome that the people are anxious to boatow upon them. ** Come Close Together. No definite plan as to the three di visions now designated for early return have been made here, hut it is assumed at the war department that the various units of each division will he sent home close together, so that it will be no hardship upon the men who arrive first to keep them organied until the entire division can be paraded. Other divisions which will be paraded on their return are the Twentysixth (New England) and the Fortysecond (Rainbow). Secretary Raker indicated that he had practically determined to have the Rainbow Division, which is composed of troops from nearly all States, march in review both in New York City and in Washington. The Thirtieth Division will go to a Southern camp, where it can be reviewed by the people of North and South Carolina and Tcnessee, from which States came its original personnel. The Twenty-seventh and Thirtieth Divisions were commanded by Sir Douglas llaig, the British commander in chief, whose official report at the close of the war gave to these American troops, then serving with the British Fourth Army, credit' for breaking the llindenburg line in Flanders.
