This man is secre tary of the Down Town Taxpayers' Association of Brooklyn, representing $10,000,000 in realty holdings alone in the heart of the great business dis trict. He was largely responsible for Brooklyn's nomd Flatbush extension, the great traffic artery from the new Manhattan bridge. He is head of M. G'arlick & Co., of 181 Gold sircet. Prominent in the real uplift work of the world's greatest city, he holds the deep respect of thousands with whom he coms in contact n business, political, church and fraternal affairs. Since boyhood, and for 45 years, he has labored. He is now 57 years old. It is only natural that, with all his activities, the strain should begin to tell. "Maybe I have overworked," said Mr. Garlick, "but, at any rate, I be gan to sL ffer from broken 'rest, loss of appetite ,failure to assimilate the nourishment I needed, and nervous ness," he explained. "It is what the average man calls 'all run down,' and there are a lot of us in every. city. I felt as if I needed something to build me up-something that would bring back the strength I was losing; some thing that would help take away the wvorries, give me a real ap~petite, tond up my stomach and whole system and qiuiet my nerves. Through friends I heard of a new medicine, Tanlac, ,and dcided that if it could hellp others, it (ought to help me, too, so I tried Tan lac. And now," he continued-for work is his big thought in life-I can do twie as much work as I could before. My nerves are quiet. I rest well. I en joy meals because my stomach di gests my food. I am stronger and feel wonderfully better." When men like Morris Garlick en dorse a medicine, there can be no fur ther proof asked. He felt it was his duty to tell of Tanlac to help others. No other medicine ever has won such support. Because Tanlac is the re constructive, system purifier and stomach tonic, supreme for weak, ail ing men and women who need more ~ntrength, better fligestion and re vitalization of the nervous system, it receives endlorsement like this.' .Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by Dickson's Drug Store, Manning; HI. W. Nettles, Jordan; shaw & Plow rien, New Zion; Farmers' Supply Co., Silver; D. C. Rhame, Summerton. Adv.

The average cotton crop of the five years from 1911 to 1915, as report ed by the United States department of agriculture was 14,175,872 bales as compared with 11,449,930 bales ir 1916 and 10,949,000 bales in 1917 The average crop of the last tw< years is, therefore, 2,flfl,000 bales sh'ort of the average for the preced. ing five years. Last year's yield was 3,200,000 bales short of the averag< for the five years from 1911 to 1915 These figures indicate an acut< crisis in cotton production. Notwith, standing the wvar, the consumption ol cotton must go on at an accelerating rate. To some extent it fs temporarib~ halted in some countries, but thosi countries are diraining to the lasi ounce their supply of cotton goods. Ir this country and in Great Britair and France and Italy, while the con sump~tion of cotton may be dlecrease< for dlomestic purposes, an enormous amount of cotton is being used foi explosives. The world is, therefore becoming as bare of cotton and1 cottor goods as it is of foodstuffs. The pro dluction of the last two years hais beer short of the wvorld's needs, and when. ever peace comes the demand for cot. ton goods to fill up the existing stocks of the world and to re-clothe th( people whose suply is now exhausted willI make a demand for cotton as p~he. nomenally great as will the demanc for foodstuffs. In producing cotton, looking to. ward the future after the end of th< wanr, the south would, therefore, bc not only helping itself, but helpingi the world situation. In the mean. time, however, it seems to be almost imosbefor the south under ex. istmg condlitions opoueeog cotton to meet the actual needs o1 the hour. Increasing cost of rais mng cottton by reason of a highei price for fertilIiger, higher coat ol labor, higher cost of agricultural im. plements and of everyljhing which en tnrs into cotton prodIuction has com. pletely changed all basis of calcula. tion as to the cost of growing cotton Unlike wheat, which is harvestedl b3 machinery, cotton must be harvestet by hand labor, and the cost of cottor production therefore increases more rapidly than the cost of wheat produc tion. While every thing that can be don< to increase food production must bc dlone we should not, lose sij ht ol the tlact that cotton is essential t< civilization. It Is absolutely neces. sary for clothing, for tenting and r thousand and one things for which there Is no substitute available. An other small crop would be a dlisaster and yet it will be very difficult foi the south to plant, cultivate andj pick a larger crop than the\average of the last two years. It is possibk .that it can be done, but It will stretch the resources of labor to ac complish It. It is almost as vital t< the winning of the war that the gov. ernent should cooperate for a larg er cotton crop as it is to cooperate foi increaded wheat production. Largely Upo conmically and well.

Mighty few can ES keep them. It's a grea~or ere to move. W IDEA Some of the suggestions put out by New York so-called experts as a max imum price for cotton are absolute ly absurd. They might have been justified as a maximum price on cot ton before the war, for cotton never has sold at anything like its intrin sic value, nor have cotton growers and cotton laborers ever secured, at least in the last 30 or 40 years, one half as much for cotton as a better economic system for this section would have amply justified and de manded. Cotton growers and cotton laborers, having a monopoly of the most important single crop in the world, have been held down to a bare .existence, often selling their cotton at less than the actual cost of produc tion, even cunting, as the small farm ers and tenants have had to do, the labor of their wives and children as nothing on the balance sheet. The whole policy of the cotton buying interests of the world has been to crush out the prosperity of the cotton grower, perchance not in tentionally, but actually so by rea " son of the conditions which prevail ed after the war and which estab lished precedents in the trade that the poverty of the cotton-growing interests. While ,western farmers have grown rich on grain production southern farmers, whose staplee crop is just as important to the world as grain, have, by reason of the economic conditions over which they have no control, been kept to a large extent in poverty. The high est prices of the last two years have been bringing a few rays of sunlight into the homes of cotton growers and even of cotton . farm laborers, but much yet remains to be done before there can be the same general pros perity among the cotton growers of the south as exists among the grain growers of Kansas and Nebraska and other western states. The fault has been with the sys tem rather than with the growers or with the soil of the south. It should be the aim of all business interest- in the south to encourage cotton growers to raise abundant foodstuffs. Never again should this section have to depend upon the west for corn and meat. Indeed, it looks as though all of the increasedl corn produ~ction of the United States must come from the south, since the wvest has apparently, for the time being at least, very nearly reached its limit in corn production. But while increasing to the utmost extent the production of foodstuffs in the south for the needs of this sec tion and for shipment elsewhere, there must be adlequate production of cotton. Cotton is not only essential for its lhmit andi for use in the manufac ture of explosives, but is essential for the enormous food value in cotton seedi oil andI the feed value~ in cotton.. seed cake and hulls. In raising cotton 'the south is thus dlirectly' raising an invaluable foodstuff and feedstuff. Tfhe motives of any man who seeks to decry the cott on-growvinrg i nterests or to put on cotton a maximum price which wvould not yield a large profit to the grower-not simply a- fair pro fit.-may be seriously questioned, for evidently he is seeking the advant of other interests rather than the adlvantage of the cotton growver, who must have primary consideration. Moreovei, the cost of cotton grow ing has so greatly increasedl that even the suggestion which has been made of.18.cents a pound as a maximjum price is absurd to any intelligent man. --York Enqluirer. RECoRD O1" ACHIEVEMENT' What John L,. McLaurin Has Accomi plished in Constructive Legislation Editor Yorkville Enquirer. When John L. McIaurin entered the statp senate in 1913--he came wvith a definite purpose to inaiugurate a new prograname 'of induntrial pro gress by using the sov->r'ig'ity of the state to stabilize the market value of the south's many crops. The programme was: 1st. Warehousing andI financing cotton. 2nd. Direct sales of cotton from the warehouses to the mills. 3rd. State gradling. 4th. State insurance. 5lth. A Farmers' Bank to !handlle the receipts. Those ideac at first ,found little fia vor in. an ultra cons irvat've South Carolima senate, but finally under the persuamive power andi fire of enthu siasm of the author and under the stress of 6 cents cotton caused by the war In Europe the "Warehouse Bill" was enacted into law at the extra Beablon of 1914. The law conferred but limited power and provided a magre appro ENI n Where Yc the goods that you want, of below those of other stores. make low prices on SOME thi SUIT YOU. ught to kick. We kick ouse k with the cash in our fist th< bhe benefit. PLEASE YOt touch us in this respect. W N ribination-goods, Prices and COMPA priation. McLaurin was chosen com missioner an-i given his "baby" to rear to manhood. The home was un. sheltered, the "wolves" numerous, fierce and hungry, but he loved this "offspring", of his mind and fought Ifor it with a valor that has con manded the admiration of every gen erous spirit which has not been ob secured by politician partisan zeal. He got farmers to build warehouses on their farms, he reduced insurance on rural warehouses from 3 1-2 to 1.58; he secured an abundance of money to finance cotton at 6 per cent at a time when none was available even at 8 per cent, he enlisted the l sympathy and co-operation of Mr. W. F. G. Harding, chairman of the Feed eral Reserve Board in Washington and he and I had developed a plan and secured the consent of Mr. Ilard ing to establish a bank to serve as distributing agent for the money available to finance cotton so that the farmers could get it at 4 per cent in stead of G per cent as provided by existing distribution agencies. The thought nad taken root and was growing. The government in Wash ington was sounding a harmonious note. The State warehcuse office and the governor's office seemed in har mony and everything seemed fair and promising to set up in South Carolina a light to guide southern agriculture out of the gloom of its years of de pression. Then came the May con vcnti,n of 1916 which violated the rules of the party and broke the law of the state in denying the ware house commissioner the right to a place in the state campaign, which right had been demanded by a reso presiuent of the state warehouse association, and unanimously adopted, as expressing the universal dcaire to have the author of the law explain to the people its benericient purpose and enlist their cooperation to like end that it might become all that its friends hoped for. McLaurin felt that he lost the support of the ad ministration then in office and in my opinion made the mistake of carrying; the fight into the campaign for the election of the faction which support ed our resolution. It is my convic tion that our programme is bigger than either faction and if carie d be fore the people ''.. its author wvoul make all which tney stand for look small indeed. Additional evidlence of the fact that McLaurin's thought has taken root and is growving may be found in the recent passage by almost unanimous consent of my hill to inisure state warehouse cotton by the state. T1his law not only settles the question of insurance for cotton, not only builds a vwall betwveen the cotton "baby" and the "wvolves" but it sets up a light to guide the thoughts of statement to the ultimate solution of all insurance prob~lems and to lift the weight which piresses so heavily upon the commer cial life of our people. Men are thinking everywhere on this and it is well wvorth your attention. How government can b~e used to coaserve the resources of a people has ever been the task of the statesman. A statesman has been found in South Carolina. Will South Carolinians avail themselves of his genius or will they wvait until another is born ? ,J. A. Banks. Senator from Calhoun County.

"Only one reserve needl be made in this connection: These principles must not only be proposed by the President of the United States, but must also' actually be recognized by all States and peoples." "But the goal has not been reached. There is still no court of arbitration establishedl by all the nations for the p reservation of peace in the name of justice.

"When England talks about the peo ples' right of self-determination, she does not think of applying the prin ciple to Ireland, Egypt and India. "It has been repeatedly said that we do not contemplate retaining Belgium, but that we must be safeguarded from the danger of a country with which we desire after the war to live in peace and friendship, becoming the object of jumping off ground of ene my machinations.

Since that time, the witness said, the alliance has conducted a consistent campaign in behalf of the teaching of German. Considering Bill The sub-committee is considering a bill by Senator King, of Utah, which seeks to dissolve the alliance. The bulletins referred to by Ohling er were printed and bound under the title "German-American Alliance" and were published before the alliance was chartered. Some of them, as tran:dlated by the witness, advanced the idea that Germans coming to the United States should "in thought, na ture andl acts" remain German, though taking out citizenship papers to get the vote. 'To D~efend Editor Mr. Ohliniger testified that the al l iace conductedl a cmpa ign to ra ise mioney to aid in the defense of an ed itor of a German language publication in Philddelph ia, who had been indicted for treasonable utterances; that the bulletins failed to condemn the sink ing of the L~usitania, or the invasion of Belgium, and that at a meeting of One of the subordinate organizat'ions in St. Louis after the Lusitania sink ing a resolution was adlopted reciting that the United States Government should thank Count von Bernstorff for his having warnedl passengers not to sil on that boat.
