DEATH OF MR. LEE SOWELL TROPHIES OF WAR TO BE | ** ? -
Mr. Lee Sowell, son of Mr. R. E.
Sowell, died at the home of his
father early Wednesday morning.
Lee had served with the medical i
department of the 116th Field Ar'
/? tillery, a Tennessee National Guard '
regiment. This regiment had return- t
ed from France some 30 days ago {
and had been mustered out Mr. c
Sowell's application for discharge had a
. been held up on account of his health. *
His physical condition was not considered
tfood by the army doctors and ;
he was .detained for treatment.
At the time of his death the young {
man was home on a 30-days leave, j
He had arrived at Patrick Tuesday r
night and walked to his father's home,
a distance of about six miles. t,
He slept with his brother and both
boys arose Wednesday morning at v
about 6 o'clock. Lee soon complained r
of not feeling well and lay down
across the bed and died in a few f
mmutes. The family physician was *
called, but the young man was al- {
ready beyond help. t
Lee was one of three sons of Mr.
R. EL Sowell who volunteered for
service in the army. Thomwell has
^ returned from France and is now at ?
r Fort Moultrie, Charleston and Joe is ?
still with the colors in Italy. w
Tre community was greatly griev- c
ed to learn of the death of Mr. Sow- fell
and the profoundest sympathy is
felt for the bereaved family. b

:OTTON REDUCTION POINTERS
FROM CLEMSON COL I. EC
We need to think and talk more
ibout increasing food crops and then
re wont need to talk so much about
educing cotton crop.
A reduced crop this year and conequcnt
high prices may lead to a big
rop next year and low prices again.
Ve need permanent remedies, not
emporary ones.
As long as the cotton crop is grown
n a credit, it will be sacrificed as
oon as taken from the field. The
cmedies for this ailment are cash
arming and cotton warehouses.
"Distress cotton" will always be
heap cotton. If the buyer knows
hat the grower must sell now, why
hould he pay full value for the coton?
A fair degree of price stability by
varehousinir will heln to hrint* hot
er conditions in the cotton industry
Diversified agriculture should not
'ollow reduction; 'cotton reduction
hould follow from diversified agri:ulture.
Absentee landlords, negro tenants
ind rent required in cotton or cash
nust go before lasting reduction of
icreage and real control of price can
:ome.
The grazing of livestock on what
ised to be cotton fields will boost the
irice of cotton in the future.
The per acre yield and therefore
he total crop of cotton can bo rciuced
by leaving off necessary prepiration,
necessary fertilization, and
lecessay cultivation; but the cost
>rduction per pound will be so grcnty
increased that it would be false
economy.
The cotton bear is partly responnble
for the South's slavery to illiteracy
and poverty.
Fairer wages for farm work mean
ligher cost of production, which calls
for higher selling price.
Only thru the field work of wives
(who should have been in the homes) j
?nd children (who should have been '
in school) has the Southern farmer |
been able to get a bare living out of
past cotton prices. ?Clemson Coledge.
Remember that the highest type of
man fears nothing, is deterred by
nothing, asks for nothing, but demands
what he needs as his right; in
ihort, he dominates both things and
inferior men.?Hall's book on Thrift.
The work of the army is done. The
navy must bring the arly home. You

nnirrtl ' IANK WILL. BE
AT CHE-\AW SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY, MAY 3 AND 4
One of the famous "Whippet''
tanks now tourin;; the State will vi.i
it Cheraw on the 3d and 4th of May.
, The tank will come from Camden on
i the S.A.L., and from Cheraw will po
i to Aiken.
South Carolina is particularly fori
tunate to pet three tanks to be taken
en tour over the State that the people
may see the workinps of the
"Whippets" that broke the morale of
the German Army. There has been
so much romance and mystery about
uiese great crawling fortresses that
the people have a great curiosity to
see them.
These tanks will cover the entire
State, beginning at Columbia, Charleston
and Greenville. The sergeants
in charge are Blankenship, of Richmond,
Ya., from Greenville; Wells,
of Michigan, from Charleston, and
Young, of New York State, and Landis,
of Cleveland, Ohio, from Columbia.
The tank from Columbia with
Landis in charge, will come to Cheraw.
Landis is a smoolh faced chap
who has a very pleasant smile, but
he was 20 months in foreign activities,
and saw a whole lot of ups and
downs in the tanks. His tank served
at different times with six combat divisions
and he was in the Argonno
^'oods fighting for two weeks.
There is a regular manual of movements
for the tanks just as for infantry
bodies. Sixteen form a company
and 48 a battalion. There are
times when they go into battle in
squad formation, 50 metres apurt and
fifty metres ahead of the infantry.
The drivers of the tanks state that it
was rare that a tank was caught in
the barrage of its own side, but they
had seen infantry rush too far ahead
of the objective and get caught in
the tank fire. That was one of the
saddest things of the war. They had
seen trenches filled with German dead
caught in the fire with which tanks
had raked the trenches when caught
and unable to go farther. Landis
had seen a tank that had fallen into
i cunningly devised trap. The Germans
had dug out a- great cavern and
covered it over with limbs and twigs
and leaves. The trap was filled with
water and the tank went to a watery
grave.
These young men who have seen
so many wonderful things on battle
fields in France will accompany the
tanks and demonstrate them. Each
of these tanks is mounted with a
French one-pounder.
ONE THING AND ANOTHER
I want to say to the Baptists of
Chesterfield county, by permission of
the editor of The Advertiser?
First: The Southern Rhptist Convention
meets in Atlanta, Ga., beginning
May the 14th. Why not send
your pastor to this convention? It
would help him and the church too. j
You would appreciate your pastor
more perhaps if you would take the
matter up and arrange the trip for
him. Then we should have some of
our laymen to go. I know of one
who is going if he can. I am quite
-ure he can. Brother layman, will
vou not plan to take in the Convention?
1 hope so.
Then there is our apportionment
for home and foreign missions. Lei
every church see that its home mis-ion
apportionment is raised by 1
April .'10th. Your apportionment is
about .10 per cent, more than it was
last year and so for foreign missions,
:>ut some one else is looking after
that. 1 am working for home missions.
The education campaign once more.
We have only twenty days now to
finish this work. I do want this Association
to raise its part, which is
twenty-five hundred dollars. 1 am
in the field to get this in the next
twenty days. Those who have subscribed
and did not arrange their
subscription before the campaign
closed last fall will please arrange the
subscription now. Be ready for me
when I come, please. Liberty Bonds
and War Savings Stamps are accepted
at their face value. These have helped
the government, now let them help
.he kingdom by helping Christian
education. I am expecting Chesterfield
Association to raise its part of
he thirty-five thousand dollars for
education. Will not all the pastors
in the Association help out in this by
;ecurintr fmm Hi. ;? ..ol
'.hey have opportunity, and send them
in at once? Some of the pastors have
endered valuable service in this
,vay. May not others help also?
Ajrain, we hope to have more Sunlay
school institutes in the Association
this summer and fall. Brother
pastor, lay this matter on the hearts
of your Sunday school officers and
teachers. They will nttend these in.titutes
with advice and help. We
desier to make them worth while for
all who attend. Let's take hold of
this movement for better Sunday
tchools. What say you brethren?

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts lika
dynamite on yeur liver.
Calomel loses you a day. You
know what calomel is. It's mercury;
luicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle of Hudson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day's
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right ip and you feel great.
(I've it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.
