HIGH PRICES WILL REMAIN
The Information and Education
Service of the United States Department
of Labor sent out to business
men, bankers and others questions as
to the probable course of future
prices, and the replies received indicated
that high prices will last a long
time.
Among the many replies was one
from Mr. M. L. Raley, cashier of the
Farmers' Bank of Ruby. Mr. Raley
said: "In this section, with prevailing
prices of cotton, our condition is
about what it was in pre-war times.
That is, we are in about the same con
dition financially with 30-cent cotton
as we were formerly with 10-cent
cotton."
"Cotton is king in the South and
alfalfa is queen," says an exchange.
A PLEASANT PROSPECT
The government has 100,000 tons
of nitrate that was to be used in
blowing the Germans off the earth
that will now be turned over to the
farmers to raise more corn and cotton.
This nitrate will be constructive
instead of destructive?will be
used on peaceful fields instead of battlefields.
South Carolina can use
any amount of this kind of ammunition.
John Milton wrote, "Peace hath her
victories no less renowned than war."
With a good supply of nitrate our
farmers will gain a substantial victory?a
victory that means happiness
and prosperity.
WHEN JOB LOST HIS CA'IltNLb
H. G. Wells, the novelist, has written
a book that is somewhat of a
parody on the book of Job. Mr.
Wells, referring to Job's afflictions,
intimates that he suffered more from
the conversation of his three
"friends" than from anything else.
That man Bildad, the Shuhite, was
the limit, and Eliphaz and Zophar
were a trial. Job told them the truth
when he said they were "miserable
comforters." And he used this fine
sarcasm on his three friends: "No
doubt ye are the people and wisdom
will die with you." He further rubs
it in by saying "They have me in derision
whose fathers I would have disdained
to have set with the dogs of
my flock."
Mr. Well's idea as to the three
friends of Job is not very far wrong.
IGNORANT CHINA
China, with a population of over
400,000,000, is one of the most back
ward of all the races upon the earth.
An instance of the gross superstition
of the common people is shown by
incident related by an American traveling
in that country. Passengers
on a boat on the Yangtze river saw
a man floating with the tide, apparently
drowning, with no attempt to
rescue him. Asking why some of the
natives did not try to save the drowning
man he was told that "a man
drowns because the river god wants
the man. That it would not do to interfere
with the plans of the river
god."
A special says that the army worm
has attacked and partially destroyed
the navy bean crop in the great bean
center of Indiana. It is very odd that
the army should attack the navy in
this way.
LITTLE HOPE LEFT
FOR BEER AND WINE
All attempts of the friends of beer
and light wines to have legislation enacted
in their favor have failed so far.
It begins to look as jf the program of
the prohibition party will be carried
out on schedule time, in spite of all
efforts to modify or to delay it.
Certain defeat for efforts to have
Congress exempt beer and wine from
operation of the war-time prohibition
law was seen in an overwhelming vote
65 to 11 in the Senate last week against
an exemption proposal.
By that margin the Senate tabled
a motion by Senator Phelan, Democrat,
of California, to add a rider to
the agricultural appropriation bill for
application of the war-time prohibition
law to distilled spirits alone.
The sentiment of the Senate thus expressed
in the first test vote of this
Congress was taken to sound
the death knell for measures designed
to permit use of beer and wines under
the war-time legislation.

AYLIGHT SAVING
MEETS ITS DOOM
When the clocks are set back to
le old time next October, they will
ot be set up again, Congress having
lopted measures to that effect. j
The house after three hours debate
y a vote of 233 to 132, passed a bill
> repeal the .law on the last Sunday
i October, but rejected an amendtent
to make the repeal effective at
nee.
The senate by a vote of 56 to 6
Iter a brief discussion, added a rider
> the agricultural appropriation bill
hich it passed providing repeal of
.e t'nyle?ht measure or. the same
ate fixed by the house bill.
The senate measure now goes to
onference with the agricultural bill
nd the house bill is to be sent to the
enate. It is considered likely that
le senate amendment will be finally
ubstituted for the house measure,
iction of congress therefore means
ontinuation of the present closing
ime this summer and early fall with
eturn to. sun time October 26, endng
two years' operation of the duyght
saving plan.
Members of both senate and house, j
i advocating repeal of the law enactd
March 19, 1918, said they were
uided largely by wishes of farmers
nd laboring men who oppose the adanced
working hours during the
pring and summer seusons. Oppoents
of the repeal legislation declarA

ity dwellers and asserted that others
asily could adjust their affairs to j
onform to the advanced clock
chedule.
In spite of the decision of Congress
o strike from the satute books a
leasure adopted in time of war there
rill be nothing to prevent individuals
r large concerns from voluntarily
ontinuing in force the daylight-savig
system during certain months of
be year, where they find it to their
dvantage.
Local conditions will vary. In many
ldustries and occupations by general
greenient the hour for starting the
ay's work will be advanced in the
pring, while in others the practice
f former years will be adhered to
rom force of habit. The uniform;y
established by law will disappear,
ut beyond a doubt the effect of the
xperiment that has been tried will
e seen in a growing disposition to
ave daylight from personal choice.

SALVATION ARMY WILL
RUN K1CKLESS SALOONS
The saloons will not all go out of
business in New York after July 1,
although their most popular drinks
may die n sudden death.
Major Charles Welte of the Salvation
Army is planning to make the
saloons popular with mother,brother
and sister, as well as father. The
Army is preparing to take over several
saloonR for this experiment,
Major Welte said yesterday just as
soon as convicnt. Major Welte says
he will not remove he glittering mirrors
the sturdy bars and the other
accourtements. The contemplated
new saloons will sell only temperance
drinks, but the bartenders will remain,
of course, says the Major.
"Most of the bartenders are a fine
lot," Major Welte said. "They have
a strong opinion against liquor and
I h ive no doubt they would be willing
to help work out the temperance
j idea. My idea of a neighborhood
temperance saloon would be a place
half restaurant and half saloon, with
a meeting hall above.
"The but room taken over should
preferably have an established clien|
tele, so we can step in July 1 and conI
tinuc the business. We want to make
our restaurants a place for family
gatherings. Usually the wife stays
at home in the evenings and cooks,
the children run along the streets and
the husband goes to the saloon. If
the in igltborhood tcinperence saloon
can g-L them all out together, we
shall h ive accomplished our purpose."
"Lo d knows what will become of
the man with a craving for drink after
July 1," says Col. William A. McIntyre
of the Salvation Army. "The
man with a powerful yearning for
drink will require the closest sort of
attention. For him the kickless saloon
will hold no attraction. The man
who drinks to forget his troubles is
in the same fix. Same way with the
man who drinks to put uncongeniel
home life from his mind. By far the
grouted number of frequenters of the
saloon are the men with a natural
yearning for companionship, however,
and we believe these will go to
our soft-drink place if it continues
the traditional bar and mirrors."
SOUTHERN BAPTISTS
PLAN BIG CAMPAIGN
Plans for the $75,000,000 campaign
to be conducted by Southern
Baptists were outlined at a confrence
of members of the general Sunday
School board of the church.

is to be paid within five years the
c-u:il pledging of this sum is to be
lone within eight days the period suggested
being the last week in October
or the first week in November.
Representatives from 18 States included
in the territory embraced by
ihe Southern Baptist convention will
meet in Nashville July 2 and 3, and
will confer with 100 representative
men and women from these States.
The $75,000,000 fund is to be used

WHY WOMEN

Some do It from ignorance: 10m*
from carelessness: some In a spirit
of martyrdom and some from a
mistaken sense of duty Impelling
them to go on sacrificing themselves
for others, until they "drop
In their tracks".
Thousands of women have learned
batter; have found out that it's
wrong to Buffer from the peculiar
Ilia of womanhood; becauae they
need not do it
STELLA VITAE, the old-time "Woman's

has been helping the women of
the South to hea'th and happiness
for half a centut j.
It Is the prescription of a famous

TERRIBLY_SWOLLEN c
Suffering Described As Torture c
Relieved by Black-Draught.
Rossville, Oa.? Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of
this place, writes: "My husband is an c
engineer, and once while lifting, he in|urcd
himself with a piece of heavy machinery,
across the abdomen. He was ii
so sore he could not bear to press on 1 h
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 105 lbs., and fell off until he
weighed 110 lbs., in two weeks.
Me became constipated and it looked 81
like he would die. We had three different t<
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his ?
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a tcn-ceut bottle of castor oil, and drink *
it two or three days in succession. He 11
did this yet without result. We became a
desperate, he suffered so. He was swot- y
len terribly. He told me his suffering ti
could only be described as torture.
I sent and bought Thedford's Black- n
Draught. I made him take a big dose,
and when It began to act he fainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and s
began to mend at once. He got well, g
and we both feel he owes his life to y
Thedford's Black-Draught." w

A SLUGGISH LIVER
rashes into sour bila malting yon

Calomel salivates! It's mercury,
lalomel acts like dynamite on a
luggish liver. When calomel comes
lto contact with sour bile it crashes
lto it, causing cramping and nauea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, eontipated
and all knocked out, just go
? your druggist and get a bottle of
todson's Liver Tone for a few cents
rhich is a harmless vegetable substiate
for dangerous calomel. Take
spoonful and if it doesn't start
our liver and straighten you up beter
than nasty calomel and without
laking you sick, you just go back
nd get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
ick and nauseated tomorrow; beides,
it may salivate you, while if
ou take Dodson's Liver Tone you j
rill wake up feeling great, full of ^
