THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF.
Girls! Try 1t! Hair Gets Soft Fluffy
and LuXuriant at Oncc-No
More Failing Hair.

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and mstrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle Of
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have dand-
ruff This destructive scurf robs the
hair OF its lustre, its strength and its
very life, and If not overcome it pro-
duces a feverishness and itching OF
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls
out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
Is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get a 25-cent bottle Of Knowl-
tons Danderine at any drug store or
toilet counter; apply little as di-
rected and ten minutes after you will
say this was the best investment YOU
ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless Of
everything else advertised, that if YOU
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair
and lots OF it--no dandruffA-no Itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair
you must use Knowlton's Danderine.
If eVentuaily-why not now?--.-Adv.

MEASURE ORDERED RATIFIED.
Bill Reduced to IL Simple and Work.
able Plan-Eull Text of Act.

Columbia, Oct. 2S.-The most i'm
portant legislation that has yet
reached the point OF being ordered
for ratification is the reduction in
acreage bill. 1t has, in free confer
cnCe, been reduced to a simple and
workable plan, it is contended. 1t is
the simplest and most conservative
of all the suggestions. All question
as to how many acres shall be plant
ed to the animal or how many bales
shall be raised to the mule have
been eliminated and it is simply
stated that when farmer plants ten
acres in cotton that he must plant
twenty acres in grain or something
else.
Here is the act as it will be sub
mitted to the Governor:
Text of Measure.
Section l. That it shall be unlaw-
full for any person by himself, his
agents or employees, to plant or cul-
tivate in this State in any year a
greater number Of acres of land in
cotton than one-third of the total
acreage of land planted and cultivat-
ed in all crops by such person in said
year, including grain and fall sown
crops planted the preceding fall or
winter.
Section 2. That any person violat-
ing the provisions of this act shall
forfeit as penalty a sum Of not less
than $50 nor more than 500 for
each and every acre planted or culti-
waited in excess of the number herein
allowed, to be recovered in any court
Of competent jurisdiction in an ac-
ton or proceeding brought in the
name of the State; and said penalty
when recovered shall be paid oyer to
the county treasurer for the use of
the county in which the offense was
committed Said penalty and the
cost Of the proceeding in which the
same is recovered shall be a lien
upon all of the cotton crop OF the
person adjudged to pay the same,
subject only to liens existing prior to
the passage Of this act and liens for
taxes: Provided, That the Judgment
for said penalty and costs be entered
and enrolled in the Office of the
Clerk of Court of General Sessions
and Common Pleas as other judg-
mcntS are now allowed to be entered
or enrolled where the recovery is
had in such court, and when SO en-
tered shall constitute q lien on all OF
the property of the person adjudged
to pay the same. And, provided fur
ther, that where the recovery is had
in the Magistrate Court the judg-
ment be entered and enrolled with
the same effect in the office Of the
Clerk Of General Sessions and Com
mon Pleas as judgments of Magis-
trate's Courts are now allowed to be
entered and enrolled in said office.
Section 3. That all sheriffs, she
riffs deputies, magistrates, consta-
bles, and rural policemen shall be
charged with the duty of inspection,

PAULDING STUCK FAST IN SAND.
Efforts to Float Big United States
Destroyer Prove Futile.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 28.-Futile eff
forts were made to-day to float the
United States torpedo boat destroyer
Paulding, which was driven ashore
early yesterday in Lynn Haven Bay
by storm which swept the Virginia
coast
The vessel is embedded in five feet
of sand, which has made it inaGvisa~
BILE for tugs to use too much power
in pulling at the stranded destroyer,
it being feared that it's light hull
would not stand the strain.
Marine men here believed tonight
that the only hope of freeing the
Paulding lay in efforts to dredge the
sand from around her hull. Power
full submarine blow pipes and pumps
were taken to The scene to-day for
that purpose.
The vessel listed several degrees
when it struck the sand bar, accord.
ing to observers who have returned
from the scene. This has increased
the difficulties in the way of floating
the destroyer.
A part of the Paulding crew of S4
men was taken aboard the auxiliary
cruiser Panther to-day. The latter,
together with the naval tugs Her
cules and MaSSasOit, were beside the
destroyer all day.
Many Were at Anchor.
In addition to the Paulding the
destroyers Cassin, McDougal, Cum
Minis, Drayton, Mccall, Burrows,
Patterson, Ammen, Trippe, Tanning,
Jenkins, Beale and Jouett were at
anchor in the bay when the storm
struck them with terrific force, the
wind reaching a velocity of 70 miles
an hour.
The frail vessels could make no
headway against the storm, and, in
addition to the Paulding, the Bur-
rows and Jouett were driven ashore,
but later got off. Several OF the 9TH
ers lost their anchors. The Burrows
and Jouett are now at the navy yard
here for repairs.
The Paulding is accredited as one
Of the finest destroyers in the navy.
1t is 2S9 feet long, &c IL feet wide
and in it's speed trials developed
$3.50 knots an hour. It's engines
have a horsepower capacity Of H.
1872. The construction Of the vessel
was begun at Bath, Maine, in 1908,
it having been put in commission two
years later.

A DAY FOR Thanksgiving.
28th SGT Apart-There Is
Cause for Great Gratitude.

President Wilson has issued his
proclamation designating Thursday
November 2Gth, as Thanksgiving
Day The proclamation, which re-
fers to the fact that the United
States is at peace while the rest Of
the world is at war, follows:
"It has long been the honored GUS
tom of our people to turn in the fruit
ful autumn year in praise and
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
his many blessings and mercios to us
as a nation.
The year that is now drawing to a
close since we last observed our day
OF national thanksgiving has been,
while a year of discipline because of
the mighty forces of war and of
change which have disturbed the
world, also a year OF special blessing
for us.
Peace With Honor.
'It has been vouchsafed to us to
remain at peace, with honor, and in
some part TO Succor the suffering and
supply the needs of those who are in
want. We have been privileged by
our own peace and self-control in
some degree to steady the COunsels
and shape the hopes and purposes of
day of fear and distress. Our peo-
pie have looked upon their own life
as nation with deeper COmprehcn-
sion, a fuller realization of their re-
SpOnsibilities, as well as Of their
blessings, and il kCener sense Of the
moral and practical significance Of
what their part among the nations of
the world may come to be.
"Thc hurtful effects Of foreign war
in their own industrial and CONNER
cial affairs have made them feel the
more fully and see the more clearly
their MUTUAL interdepcndencc upon
one another and has stirred them to
helpful cooperation such as they
have seldom practiCcd before. They
have been quiCkcned by great
moral stimulation. Their unmistak-
able ardOr for peace, their earnest
pity and disintcreStcd sympathy for
those who are suffering, their readi-
ness to help and TO think Of the
needs for others. has revealed them
to themselves as well as to the world.

May Try for Boulogne.
The London press contends that
the position of the allies is Satisfac-
tory. The public is warned, how
ever, that the struggle in this quar-
ter is not yet over, for the Germans,
if they find the northern route to
Dunkirk and Calais impossible, may
shift to the south with Boulogne as
an objective.
1t was at Boulogne that Napoleon
waited in vain for his troops to en-
bark for England, and the taking of
this city by the Germans would stir
the German people as nothing else
could.
Berlin claims that there has been
no recent progress in the struggle in
Flanders, and, as if explaining this,
says 16 British warships are operat-
ing on the coast.
This number never has been con-
firmed by British sources, but a dis
patch from Dover reports that a bat
tleship equipped with 12-inch guns
has gone to the assistance Of the
British monitors, which have been
Smelling the Germans on shore.
Other reports speak Of heavy firing
in the North Sea, as if a big naval
engagement had taken place, but the
admiralty here is silent. Taken as a
whole. the English Interpretation of
the news this morning was cheerful.
Germans Retreat Before Russians?
The German retirement from Po-
land and the resumption of the Of
fensive by Russia all along the east
ern battle front is generally aScribed
in London to the enormous reserves
brought up by the Russian command
ers. Instead Of two completely eX-
hausted armies facing each other
along the Vistula, as has happened
frequently along the banks of the
AiSne, the Russians make daily
changes, bringing regiments from
the rear and thus allowing the fight
crs in the trenches to retire and
rest. This operation is said to have
been repeated SO often that virtually
every Russian soldier within strik-
ing distance of the invaders is now n
veteran. While this German retire.
ment may not be the rout pictured
in Petrograd, it is nevertheless held
here to be true that the retreat has
progressed so far that WARSAW is TO-
day free of the menace Of investment
With the pressure on their center re-
licved, the Russians are now devot-
ing more attention to campaigning.
British Court in Mourning.
