jr FAMOUS OLD BATTLESHIR3 x FROM CHERAW | TOBACCO PRICES DISAPPOINT , RAfP BinTC IN \W A c? . 11 I
I UOC.I.E.OO, 1U Dt StKAH'tD
I The Navy Department has decided
R to break up and sell for junk twelve
E of Uncle. Sam's most
|| famous battleships. Four of
these famous old "has beens"
all have distinguished themselves by
records for swiftness and what in
their infancy was un-to-date equipment.
The doomed ships, includIing
the famous old Spanish-American
war squadron consisting of the Oregon,
Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetta
and the more modern but hardly
less famous Kentucky, Kearsage,
1 Alabama, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Missouri and Maine, composed one
of the ihost, if not the most powerful
battleship fleets in the world more
than 15 years ago.
Foremost among the achievments
of these famous old fighting craft is
the part they played in the SpanishAmerican
war. The Oregon, which
had been commissioned at San Francisco
in July 1896 was at Mare Island
navy yard in 1898 when the message
was flashed to her commander
that the United States was at war
with Spain. On March 6, 1898, the
famous old ship cleared the Golden
Gate, bound for the West Indies, on
what proved to be the most epoch
making battleship voyage ever undertaken.
With'decks stripped for action
and gun crows at their stations
the Oregon plowed around Cape
Horn up the east* coast of South America
and arrived at Key West on May
oa - j.. r *: ? 1.?: 1- 41?
**\jf icuuy iui at'uuu, nuviu^ iiiuuu tut;
14,000 mile voyage in 68 crutsing
days. Capt. C. E. Clark, the Oregon's
commanding officer, was ordered to
fake his ship to Santiago and there
' join the blockading squadron which
was awaiting battle with the Spanish
fleet.
In the meantime the Iowa, Massachusetts
and Indiana, sister ships of
the Oregon, were attached to the
North Atlantic fleet and had already
funrivcd off Cuba, the Massachuetts
being part of the famous "flying
squadron" under command of Commodore
Schley.
The Oregon will probably not be
destroyed with the others. The State
of Oregcn will probubly take her anu
keep her in condition as a training
ship ship in O'egon waters. During
the war with Germany all of these
ships were called into commission,
most of them as coast defenders in
home waters.
Other vessels famous forever in
American naval annals, the Olmpia,
Admiral Dewey's flagship at Manila
Bay; the New York, Rear Admiral
Sampson's flagship, and the Brooklyn,
Rear Admiral Schley's flagship, also
saw service druring the world war
and are still on active duty in various
parts of the world. It is probable
that in a few years {ill of these
historic ships will be pluccd out- o<"
commission for good. They will never
however, be scrapped, in the opinion
of naval officers.

Always Ask for * Genuine

^T\
Only Aspirin '1 unlets with the safety
"Bayer Cross" on them are genuine
"Bayer Tablets of Aspirin," owned
and made by Americans and proved
safe by millions of people. Unknown
quantities of fraudulent Aspiri 1 Tablets
were sold recently by a Brookyn
dealer which proved to be composed
mostly of Talcum Powder
"Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" should
always be usked for. Then look for
the safety "Bayer Cross" on the package

else! Proper directions and dosage
in each Bayer package.

A. F. Davis Market
Special To The Advertiser:
The price being paid for .tobacco
on the Cheraw market continues to
show steady increase, and the grade
of tobacco is improving1. The buyers
are all bidding strong on the higher
grades, and even the lower grades
.are bringing more on the Cheraw
market than on most other markets.
The two local warehouses still have
full floors nnd the quantity continues
to increase. It is only a question of
time until Cheraw will get the bulk
of the tobacco of the Pee Dee Section.
| The Pee Dee river has almost
eached the flood stage attained dur.ng
the year of 1916. Up to Tuesday I
morning it had reached 36 feet and '
was Still rising. More than the usUal |
amount of damage has been done to |
crops, as more of the river bottom
was planted this year than heretofore. '
I'he prospects for a good corn yield '
in these bottoms had been especially '
line. Owing to the fact that the rise 1
was slow, very little damage was done 1
to live stock. 1
Repairs are bfiing made on the old ^
First National Bank Buliding, recently
vacated by Mr. M. B. Smith.
This building in the near future will
be occupied by the offices of the {
Cheraw Cotton and Knitting Mills.

all running full capacity, which is c
evidence of what the raising of to- j
bacco is doing for Cheraw and the t
surrounding community. j

SOUTH CAROLINA GROWERS
The prices being paid for tobacco
so far this season have been* disap- J
pointment to many growers in various
parts of the State. J
In Newberry, Georgetown^and Lexington
Counties conditions have become
so distressing that urgent calls'
have been sent out to all those-inter-'
ested -to hold their cotton oil the J
market and attend a meeting at
Florence on Friday. j
Many large planters of tobacco have
become alarmed over the situation,
which they designate as ruinous, and
have started a movement which they
hope \yill furnish relief. They have
:onsu!ted with Governor Copper, who
las called a meeting to be held at
Florence next Friday, July 2f>th. .
[Jails have been issued to banks, farners,
merchants and others interest?d.

In most of the markets throughout

hat last year brought from 15 to

brought from two to five cents.
Juyers have been very scarce in most

anxious to buy at any price.
In Chesterfield County there has

who carried his "sand lugs" to
jheraw was very well satisfied with
he 12',j cents they .brought. Others
lave taken their goods much farther

ED FOR CONGRESSMAN LEVE1
ng- President Wilson has nominate
not Congressman A. F. Lever commission
out er of the Federal Farm Loan Board
gu- a salary of $10,000 a year,
illy Mr. Lever will be confirmed in hi
new position by the Senate within tin
er- next ten days, after which time hi
L^ht will resign from Congress and Gov
res Cooper will call a special election t<
zor fill the vacancy thus effected.
So Congressman Lever hj*rt served it
i
iat that capacity for eighteen years ant
led has established a reputation foi
a fathering and furthering construe
Live legislation.
After being a member of the comaw
ia_ mittee on agriculture for ten years
id. he became chairman six years ng<
)8- and under his guidance that commit.
tee rose from a second to a first rate
^ committee, ranking along with tht
House. He was held in universal os.
ay
?e- teem Dy both the Democrats ami Heks
publicans, as was evidenced in the
V(' closing days in the last session of
ed
Congress by the presentation to hini
hp b/ the membership of the committee
ol- of a silver service as a testimonial of
>b. their respect and confidence.
I>n Among the notable pieces of legis'
1 lation with which his name is inti>w
mately associated may be mentioned:
ne The cotton futures act, regulating
ie_ the operations of the cotton future
jn exchanges of the country. lie was
[e. jointly instrumental in amending this
,f_ act in the dosing ?lays of the last
[jp session with the effect of far reach,s
ing beneficial results, both to the pro.
|e_ duce: and manufacturer of cotton.
ne He was the author of the item in
the appropriation bill providing for
,ts the creation of the bureau of markets
an whirh started with a small sum of
he money a few years ago and with ie,1,1
stricted authority and has now develhe
oped into an organization v hose ac.
en tivities cover the entire country and
rm promises in the course of time to
,,1 stabilize prices and at the same time
,j;s to furnish such accurate information
w_ to producer and consumer of farm
,x_, products as will ultimately destroy
on the wasteful and uneconomic system
of distribution of farm products.
vn He was the author of the Federal
n_ Warehouse act providing the ware,.,1
housing of staple farm products and
the issuance thereon of uniform
it- warehouse receipts which may be
negotiable in character. With the
amendment, which he attached to the
j agricultural appropriation bill at this
j session, Mr. I.ever believes that if
,js | the producers will take advantage of
n, j this act it will go far in solving the
nd J problem of farm finance.
| Mr. Lever reported from the com,m!
mittce on agriculture the first bill
ist ever, favorably reported providing
aid for Federal road building- Thi.?
in bill passed the House but did not beys
come a law, although in a modified
; form it is now a law.
id I While the Republicans were in
I charge of the House ten years aj?.?,
ht he was joint author With Senator
,st Weeks of Massachuetts of the White
j Mountain-Appalachian forest reserve
j act, and although the Republicans
;y. j controlled the House he was in charge
ie- of the fight for the proponents of this
measure, a recognition seldom ben.
stowed.
He was the author of what is
he known sis the Smith-Lever act, the
measure which provided for farm
ry demonstration and home economics
us work, a system which is slowly but
ht surely revolutionizing the agriculture
of the country, and was a
c- member of the joint committee of
the House and Senate which framed
L-r, the farm loan act.
in- In addition to this he was a mem.
her of the selected committee, organ,
tt- ized at 'he request of President Wilhe
son in the last Congress, for the conay
sideration of water power legislation
mar committer has already in th:>
4 session acted and the bill is now
[ie. 'through the House and pending in tin
Senate.
He was the author of the first foot
>rd stimulation act and was the autho;
tor of the bill in the last session to niaki
m. (rood the government guarantee o:
rs. wheat.
Possibly Mr. Lever's most notabh
iss legislative achievement was his an
of thorship and conduct through thi
nie House and conference of the foot
control act. This was one of the vcrj
>n- first war measures and carried au
thoiity of such broad and sweepinj
R. character as had never been suggos
ng. ted in the history of the government
of It was under ihis act that the* vr.rion
ht. regulations touching the use of fooi
ind products and fui' 1 were regulated
mn and which likewise carried the lirs
ton atiihority given to tin- Piosidcnt b
control the use of food stulTs in th
roll manufacture of alceholu beverages
That act furnished a precedent i
ink many of its provisions for prneticail
'ter all of the v.ar legislation conferrin
rith extraordinary powers upon the Pros:
dent that followed.
