The Southern planter and farmer who has made up his mind to plant less cotton next year and plant more grains and grasses and buy a few pure-bred hogs, must be financed for a few months until his first crop of pigs are ready for the buyer. There is no surer method of leveling up things for the South than by inducing hundreds of farmers who do not even raise their own meat, to buy one or two or three pure-bred sows ana raise nogs the coming year. We believe the bunks are alive to the situation and many of them have been loyal helpers along this line, and we are sure many others will be if they are approached in the right spirit by the right men. Bankers are more than human and give credit hundred of times where sentiment alone prompts. They are a unit for building their own locality up, not only from a selfish standpoint, but from pride in their own town and country. Hogs will build where others have failed. WHAT ARE YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS DO YOU STEP OUT WITH SNAP AND VIGOR? ARE YOU ABLE TO GET THINGS DONE? DON'T STAND IN YOUR OWN WAY People With Thin, Weak Blood Have A Hard Time Of It. They Should Take Pepto-Mangan Look at the facts of your health. So much depends on having red blood. If you stand up in front of your work with half-starved blood in your sys cem you are standing in your own way. You are blocking your own progress. Thin blood makes you dull. It makes you pale. You take no enjoyment out of your work. It is only half as good as it should be. You can remedy that condition so i easily. Begin taking that fine tonic, Pepto-Mangan, today and keep it up for awhile. Your blood will become nourished. Pepto-Mangan makes red blood corpuscles. You will get energy and strong power of resistance. Instead of standing in your own way, you will push yourself ahead because of greater vitality. But be sure you get the genuine fepto-Mangan. It in put up in bott liquid and tai>let form. Ask foi "Gude V and be sure that the name ii i on the package.

In doing so he issued a statement in which he declared that it iarincumbentj upon the cotton states toltake intelligent cognizance of the situation with reference to raw cotton ^nd see to it that the market does .'hot remain glutted throughout another season." In calling d$>on the South Carolinians to devot<( their best thought on January 3, to jiheeting the situation which at preseM they find themselves in, the governo* was complying with a request made^by the South Carolina Division of the] American Cotton Association. Similar action has been taken by the goveijtiors of the other cotion growing stales of the nation. The proelant#tion issued by the Glovernor follows: "The South &rolina divison of the fYmerican Cotton Association has requested that I designate the first Mon lay in January tos 'cotton acreage reduction day' ii^ South Carolina. I gladly comply -^rith this request. For ;he time being/' the markets of the vorld are not absorbing raw cotton, ind one cannot (tell how long it will se before the staple will again bring l profitable prici to the grower. It is :ertain that a large supply of cotton will be carried <jver from the present :rop. If in 1921 there is added to this :arry over anoiher large yield the orice will again'tfbe distressingly low. It is, thereforeJas a matter of economic self-pre?rvation, incumbent upon the cotton states to take intelligent cognizance >pf the situation with reference to raw cotton and see to it that the market 1 loes not remain glutted throughout mother season. "Our escape fi om the unhappy predicament in whV^h we now lind ourselves lies in the'-production of greater quantities of food and feed crops. Mere reduction *f cotton acreage, by itself, is not a thorough solution?it is but half of thht process necessary to liberate-us front: the one-crop bondage. . "Lnn -suggested above, I proclaim the first Monday in January, 1921, as Cotton Acreage Reduction Day for this state arid I urge that upon that day all South Carolinians devote their best thought to the situation, and resolve to meet"it, and to prevent a repition of it, by united action." (Signed) R. A. Cooper, Governor. CHESTERFIELD TIGHTENS LID ON OFFENDERS At a meeting of the Chesterfield Town Council heid last Monday an ordinance was passed that should be of more than passng interest to some of tie inhabitants and to some of those who do not live here but select this place as a safe one in which to do their drinking and loafing. The new ordinance making it unlawful for a person under the influence of liquor to drive an automobile on the town streets came ns the re! suit of several smash-ups recntlj j that were attributed to the reckless i ness of intoxicated drivers. The lirsl | otfense is punishable by a fine of frorr $10.00 to $100.00. Officers are instructed to take up al drunks and vagrants and they art warned by Mayor Trotti that theii jobs depend on their carrying ou' these instructions.

Sellers, President, SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS Julius Harrison, white, was probably fatally shot Saturday night at , Orangeburg by John Lloyd. It is said < by eyewitnesses that Harrison was sit- . ; ting on a box in a store and that ] Lloyd appeared and cursed Harrison. ' \ One shot took effect in the lungs, i Harrison is in the Orangeburg Hos-1 pital in a critical condition. Lloyd is ' in jail and does not say why he shot 1 Harrison. 1 Munroe H. Inman, well known citi- 1 /.en of Spartanburg, was shot and kill- 1 ed last Thursday by his 21-year-old 1 son, Manning, following a personal 1 difficulty. Mrs. Inman testified at the inquest that the elder Innqm threat- ( ened to kill his son, that the young A man attempted to escape from the ' house but was headed off by his father, whereupon he fired the fatal shot. i The young man has been held for in- i vestigation by the grand jury. ;i W. D. Mitchell, aged manager of * IVVhitlock's store four miles from Spar- ) tanburg, was found lying dead in a ^ pool of blood in the front of the store at an early hour last Thursday morn- j ing. He had been shot through the heart with a shotgun and evidently ( had been dead some hours. His purse supposed to have contained considerable money, was taken from the body 1 and the pockets had been rifled. Mr. 1 Mitchell slept in the rear of the store, 0 taking his meals at a home nearby. j | Yeggmen visited Barnwell last week, blew open the safe in the nost office and made their escape with j about $2,500 worth of postage stamps, ^ between $25 and $50 in money and a watch belonging to Mrs. Pearl liarvard, one of the assistants in the of- t (ice. So far as can be learned there is no clue as to their identity. The Farmers' Bank at Pailer, near < Orangeburg, was entered early Sat- ( urday morning, the safe was blown j and everything of value was carried off. No clue to the robbers and the bank officials do not know the exact ' amount- of the loss. I The large dry goods store of the Jolly-Austell company at Union, was completely destroyed by fire Saturday night. Loss $50,000; insurance $25,000. The Spartanburg Chamber of Comj merce has asked the mayor and police officials to immediately take steps to prevent the wave of crime thac has lately spread over that city and vicinity. It is suggested that the vagraancy laws and the laws aginst. carrying weapons be strictly enforced. The law against gambling in Columbia has been applied to all forms of raffles, punch boards and other games of chance that usually flourish at Christmas time. Pat W.

Where does the fault lay? Who is esponsibue for present conditions? Is t not that a spirit of lawlessness is ibroad in the land, and that greed of rain has so dulled the moral consciince of some that neither the fear of he laws of God or man have any deerent effect upon them. Qo they not find a ready assistance n those who are willing to buy their iroducts and shield the offender by heir silence and support? Is not the moral consciousness of he entire community so dulled to the xtent of this evil and fear of criticism, that they would rather endure hese violations than make active proest and thus embolden the lawless? Again, does not some of the shame >f this condition of things rest upon r.,;i? e ...M - iiv i.niui v wi tuu.>uvuu'u ituinnniy to igidly enforce the law against this :lass of evil doers? It is true that hey are handicapped to a large exeat by the indifference of the entire community.
