I PHYSIC FOR UNCLE SAM When a patient is very sick he not only vets advice from his physician, but a large number of suggestions from outsiders. Uncle Sam has a se vere case of financial cramp?cramp affecting his entire anatomy, and as in the case of the sick individual the number of remedies suggested for his cure and restoration to his usual financial condition is enormous and of great variety. The nostrums, patent medicines and "yarb" cures are not to be compared in number or quality with the panaceas that are proposed to bring Uncle Sam and his numerous family into perfect health and vigor. One of the Doctors is Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska. The Advertiser has great confidence in him because he is a true and tried Democrat, a pairiouc and ante suni'snian. 111s remedy for Uncle Sam's serious condition is the establishment in NewYork City of a bier bank with a capital stock of .several billon dollars and with branch banks in this and other countries. Senator Hitchcock in advocating his proposed remedy says: 'Everyone recognizes that there exists in the United States and other countries at the present time a great demoralization of business, a high rate of unemployment and a general unprofitable condition in all lines of trade. International commerce is almost in a state of collapse. The United States has an enormous surplus of products which it is unable to sell, while other nations have ; a great need of these products and are not able to buy them." The diagnosis of Senator Hitch/?ru?Lr nc In nnnd itinnc nf tli,. iunt and the cause of the trouble in his interior is divided into two parts?not like Gaul, as we learned in our Latin lesson at school that Gaul was divided into three parts. Here is the diagnosis of Dr. Hitchcock, and if it hits the spot as surely as does old Dr. Hitchcock's liver medicine the Nebraska healer is entitled to the cake. After feeling Uncle Sam's pulse and looking at his tongue Dr. Hitchcock says: 1. "The unstable condition of international exchange, which has tluctuated so violently during the last two years that it has made exporting and importing a dangerous gamble and has ni'ncd hundreds of firms attemntie-* in*< motional commerce 2. "The exhaustion of international credit, duo to tho enormous balance of trade each was not paid for in! products and could not be paid fo? ! in tfold. Attempts by private con- j corns to supply this cred t have only j resulted in the oxhauston of their resources." Senator Hitchcock's bit; bank with a capital stock of several billion dol- j lars and with branches all over the i country and in Europe looks like a' good medicine and when there are ; billions of it there ought to be enough to tone up Uncle Sam's system ami mat <>i an ms numcnms aim varum j family connexion. But while Congress is considering the various remedies proposed a bank in Savannah. Georgia, The (iitiv.ens and Southern, has made applieation for an advance of :?r?t(MM),()00 for fi-j naneinp: exports and the application was approved by the War Finance Corporation. The president of the bank, one of, Georgia's leading financiers, Mr..Mills] B. I.ane, referring to this advance says: I "These funds will he used as a financial resource and facility in addition to the usual federal reserve bank facilities for the betterment of the people in my part of the country. The War Finance Corporation's emergency help will he an added source of strength in the orderly marketing of th" crop from our part of the country." Has South Carolina no Vill- 15. Lane who can get money to assist in marketing our crops? DIDN'T HIT US The earth passed through the comet's tail a few days ago and was not even singed, so far as heard from. The astronomers failed to notify the I world that it was about to collide with the tail of the liory monster which probably was lucky as some of us are afraid of these celestial visitors. Congressman Kissel has introduced a bill which would prohibit the President from leaving Washington for more than 48 hours at a time without losing his power as chief executive. In the event the ('resident left Washington for more than 48 hours his( powers would be transferred to the Vice President.

I ASSOCIATION OF COTTON GROWERS COMING ON NICELY r Columbiu, Aug. 27.?Officials of lit1 South Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association yesterday received ? ord that the North Caro- ? ina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association had been successful in securing contracts representing 200,JO0 bales of cotton, the minimum set >y that state before the signed contracts become eil'ective. This makes , the fourth cotton growing state to successfully complete its organization and a fifth will :;oon have its minimum number, it is announced. Oklahoma was rhi> ?tnto fr? reach its minimum, <500,000 bales having been signed in that state. The ! .Mississippi association was the next J to perfect its organization. The Ari-1 iuna growers have completed their organization and now North Carolila has reached its quota. Texas lias cached its original minimum of S00,000 bales but has now raised its I minimum to 1,000,000 bales which it i lopes to reach within the next two or < hree weeks. ! The campaign in Georgia is going iliead successfully and Louisiana, Vrkansas and Alabama are launching i .heir drives. It is not the intention of ( these four states to handle this year's i crop. i Satisfactory progress is being i made in the campaign in South Camilla, it was stated yesterday. Signed contracts are coming in daily from larger planters over the state while uiv 111 u" 11 i > v \.aiii|'ui^;iin in ?j|/tu iciii urg and Marion counties are procoding satisfactorily. It is not the intention of the South Carolina association to attempt to uitulle this year's crop, oiiiciaU said yesterday. In the lirst place they ]>ointed out that it would ho impossible to sign the minimum number of ales in this time. "The movement in South Carolina s gaining momentum daily," said /resident Harry (I. Kaminer yesterlay. 'The longer one studies the prop sition the more firmly wedded he beams to it. It is the only solution of the marketing? problem.** CITATION NOTICE he State of South Carolina, 'ounty of Chesterfield, ">y M. J. Hough, Probate Judge: \\ horeas C. (1.

Ou the floor of the rlchly-furnlshed library of the Dale home, near a went ! wi.iduw, Miss Elizabeth Llttleford sat 1 reading by the fast fading light of aa< 1 early March pfternoon. Somehow she llk?d to sit on the floor, and always aha liked to reud; for one thing, books helped her to forget that she was lonely. There were footsteps behind her, soft footsteps because of the thick vol* vet carpet; then a low voice Inquired-} t "Areu't you afraid you will Injurs ' your eyea, Elizabeth? Better have a light, hadn't you, dear?" The old coal king turned toward the switch on tha i wall.' I "No I" she answered tiulckly. Ths * through reading for today, and I Ilka _ this twilight." Her Improvement In speech and la maimers had gone on at a surprisingly rapid rate. She rarely spoke with any but the simplest words, but she never fell Into ?nythlng more than bare semblance of the old drawling hill dialect unless It was while she was under the stress of gome strong emotion. She closed the book and looked ap with eyes that were like the first star? In n summer sky. Her beauty waa wonderful; it was finer and sweeter thnn It h?il ovor hw>n hofnra Ok) Dale stood looking thoughtfully Into her upturned face. He was a lit* tie pale, and he seemed troubled and uneasy. Kli/.ahetli shook her head. "You'rt 4worrying again 1" He dropped Into a nearby cbatr, leaned slowly forward and let one I hand fall gently on her thick find silky eheitnut-brown hair. * . "I wish," he said as though to him* : seelf. "that I had a daughter like you.** lie took his hund from her head, lay j hack wearily In his chair and closed I his eyes. Then he bent forward again. "The Morelnnds, Elizabeth?they've I moved away from the settlement, J haven't they?" "Yes; Bill Dale has done wonderful things for them I" the girl answered. John K. Dale-was silent for a mo* uient, after which he said suddenly: "1 want to see my son; there Is something I must tell him. Will you go with ma, Elizabeth?" j "Of course, I'll go with you." ! She thought she knew what It was that stirred him. By Intuition, supplemented by Bill Dale's occasional cryptic utterances, and pieced out by hill tradition. Elizabeth Ltttleford gradually bad come into possession of tha old coal man's grim secret Neither of them knew that John Moreland was then visiting his beloved old hills for the sake of some shooting. The following day John K. Dale and Kllzabeth Llttleford alighted from a northbound passenger train at the ? Halfway switch. The mountains were covered with three Inches of snow, and the hemlock end pines bore heavy b.^r. dens of the beautiful white stuff; but the air was still, and It wasn't very cold. "You'd get your clothing all black on the coal 4ra!n," Dale said to his companion, "so you'd rather walk over, wouldn't you? Anyway, the train Isn't here. I'm good for six miles, 1 think." "Yes," smiled Ben Llttleford'a daughter, "I'd rather walk?If you're sure that si* mlldk won't be too much for you." Together, with the girl leading the way, they set out across David Moreland's mountain. The old trail showed not one footprint ahead of them; It was not SO much used now Thou a>U little. Each thought their own thought*, and neither cared to speak then te the, other. Just before they reached the mountain's crest, they passed a group of snow-lnden pines that concealed a big, brown-bearded man who had been stealthily following the trail of a lone wild turkey. He wore khaki huntingclothes and high laced hoots, and there was a certain English fineness about him. In his hare hands he carried * fepeatlng rifle, which marked him aa one horn In the hills; a lowlander would have had a choke-bored shritgun. When he saw John K. Dale he stopped suddenly. It might have been Intuition, or It might have been sheer Onrl Aol * * * * . vui me nveniRe niiiman Iteing Htrnnger to neither?he followed alwt watched the two, unseen hy them.

Old Dale stopped close at her aide, and he, too, looked at that which lay around and below them ; mid to hia iuii.U else theta came memories crowding. The* young woman brushed luck a I wayward wisp of hrown hair and ; turned to the man beside tier. "The Morelnnd pan o' the settlement looks lonesome, don't It?" she said. "See, there's no smoke cotnln' , from their cubin chimneys. . . ." She i went on absently, "Hut the Idttleforda are there yet." Old Dale caught the meaning that was In the latter sentence. It was not : a shallow meaning. I "We are going to take care of tha Llttlefords. EiiuMh " h? .??a ?? I "I'v? thought much over It, and Just I now I've decided.
