The bankers of our country surely
have enough work cut out for them
at present to keep them all doing some
honest-to-goodness thinking, but there
is one job that they cannot afford to
neglect. 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

REDUCTION DAY
GOVERNOR COOPER SETS ASIDE
FIRST MONDAY
Calls On All South Carolinians To
Reduce Acreage And Diversify
t, Crops
Columbia, ?ec. 20.?Governor
Cooper today act aside Monday January
3, as "cotton acreage reduction
day" in South kllarolina. 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.

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.

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.

A CITIZEN PROTESTS
I
Editor The Advertiser:
I have been thinking for sometime
of giving public expression, through
your paper to my thoughts by way of
protest against the conditions of our
town in relation to the liquor traflic.
it must r>e apparent to all thinking
lersons and especally those who have
Lhe welfare of the community at
leart, that some steps must be taken
,o stop the illegal traffic in blockade
whiskey and other vile concoctions
n the sale of which those guilty of
/iolating the law, have become so
jold that drunkenness is in evidence
>n our streets nearly every day in the
week, to shame and disgrace us as a
aw-abiding people.
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.
Cannot a public consciousness to
his evil bo awakened, that the certainty
of punishment shall prevent the
llicit sale of intoxicants in our town?
Will not you, Mr. Editor, through
i'our paper ally yourself with the
community for a better and cleaner
citizenship?
