COTTON FUTURES MEASURE

Washington, February 1S.-The
Lever cotton futures bill, a slightly
amended duplicate of the measure
declared unconstitutional by Federal
Judge Hough, of New York, was or
dered favorably reported by the
House agricultural committee to-day.
Its sponsors say it will result in an
international standard of grades and
contract.
The measure as reported is an ex.
act duplicate of the original Act, held
invalid because as a revenue measure
it did not originate in the House, with
the exception that Section II has
been amended to provide that foreign
contract orders from exchanges
which have not standards of grades
shall bear a tax of 2 cents a pound
and to permit hedging in foreign ex-
changes against actual shipment or
consignment for sale of actual cot
ton, regardless of the character of
the contract of the foreign exchanges
in which the hedging is made.

LEXINGTON MAN
MAKES TOWN HAPPY
r. H. CAUGHMAN, PROMINENT
CITIZEN, HELPING FRIENDS
IN UNIQUE WAY.

The spirit of helping others IS
abroad in the land, and this part OF
the world surely must be growing
better and healthier. A Lexington
man desires to help some un~1ortunat
brother or sister. He has alreaoy
shown a number of people IN LeXlng-
ton how to better the state OF their
health by taking Tanlac, as lnVes-
tigation proved. Still, he wants to
continue this good work. That is his
reason for giving the interview pub
lished below. ,
This man, who may be described
as a humanitarian, is R. H. Caugh-
man, of Lexington, S. c., n OF the
we'll known citizens of that town,
who is related to many prominent
citizens of his and Richland county.
81 had stomach trouble and indi-
gestion for a considerable number OF
months, and could hardly eat any
thing without suffering keenly soon
afterwards" said Mr.. Caughman, as
the interview began. 81 had lntestl-
nal trouble, too. My appetite fall
ed, and my system began to show
the strain it was under. l took a
lot of medicine, but it did me no
permanent good" he continued.
81 had heard so much about Tanlac
that I decided to give it a trial. The
first few doses made a marked dit
ference in my condition. / improved
rapidly, and about the time my first
bottle was taken I wa troubled no
longer with indigestion and its kin
bred ills. I can now eat anything
I care to. I have a great appetite.
Pork chops and cabbage and other
heavy foods do not cause me pain.
1t was about two months ago that l
stopped taking Tanlac, and now
have no symptoms of my. former
trouble.
81 can heartily recommend Tanlac.
I have told dozens about it, and those
I have heard from have been helped.
Tanlac is the best medicine | have
ever taken. 1t is worth Dragging
on"
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
sold exclusively by P. B. Speed. Alb

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and a quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's free if you ask
for it. Write for it now. H. G. HASTINGS

GEORGETOWN MAYOR
BLEASE CANDIDATE

Columbia, February 18.-Special
That several prominent Blease lead
ers are urging Mayor Olin Sawyer, of
Georgetown, to run for Governor, is
being talked around the Legislature.
The gossip is that these leaders be-
lieve they must get a mar who has
not heretofore made a ace for any
State office, and they consider Mayor
Sawyer the one who is eligible.
DR.. Sawyer was in the city to-day,
and it is known that he saw several
of the leaders while here. He de-
clined to say anything at all on the
matter for publication. DR.. Sawyer
was formerly a member of the House
from Georgetown and is now mayor
of that city, having been elected a
few months ago as a compromise can
didate by both political factions in
Georgetown.

A LETTER.

Cashiers, N. c., IT FebS., 1916.
Mr.. Pat Roche, Abbeville, S. c.,
My dear old friend:-I see in the
Press and Banner that you are a
candidate for Mayor of Abbeville;
and that there are three other candi-
dates. Although l am no longer an
Abbeville citizen, I take a deep inter
est in all that affects the dear old
town; and I can't help writing to
you and assuring you that I heartily
hope you will win in this race. Not
being acquainted with the other can.
didates, I have nothing to say against
them; but he ought to be a mighty
good mar that should be preferred
before Pat Roche and made Mayor
of Abbeville. If l were now living
in the old home, I would certainly
vote for you and do all I could fol-
you.
1t will give me great pleasure tc
hear of your success. :.
Yours sincerely,
w. C. Benet..

BRYAN LIKELY TO FIGHT
WILSON, HE INDICATES

New York, Feb. 18.-"William
Jennings Bryan-the man who made
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson
possible at Baltimore-will in all
probability oppose the denomination
of the President at the Democratic
National Convention at St. Louis
next June"
This is the impression made upon
the mind of David Lawrence, Wash
ingtcn correspondent of a New York
paper, after personal interviews and
an exchange of letters with Mr..
Bryan.
II have not thought it WISE" Mr..
Bryan wrote me recently, says Mr..
Lawrence in his dispatch to The
Post, "to say whether l would sup
port the President if nominated
first, because until the President an
nounces his candidacy no n has
a right to solicit support for him,
and it has seemed impertinent to me
to have the question asked by some
newspapers, as it has been, for l have
never done anything to justify the
suspicion that I would not support
the ticket. My support of Parker, at
least, ought to raise a presumption
in favor of my regularity. AS I am
asking nothing and desire nothing ex-
cept an opportunity to work for the
reforms in which 1 am interested, l
feel that I can take my own time,
and in speaking on the subject be
governed by my own judgment.
81 have never had an organization
or corporation to help me in politics.
I have simply advocated principles
and policies, without waiting to see
whether they were popular. The
Lord does not require us to win. He
simply requires us to do our duty.
81 want to be free to do anything
at any time which duty indicates
should be done. I have no enemies
to punish and no friends | would be
willing to reward at the expense of
the party or the country"
Mr.. Bryan will not take issue with
the President on technicalities, in
GLIDING the single term plank, but
says preparedness is really a Re-
publican issue. 1t proceeds from the
Interests Democracy must stand
united against it, and not try to curry
favor with those elements which
favor it. 1t is a part of the Re-
publican determination to return 20
the protective tariff"

MAKES CHANGES IN
2-QUART MEASURE

Columbia, February 18.-Special
The free conference report on the
two-guart-a-month bill struck out
Section 10, which requires a man,
if he carries whiskey in a grip, to
paste a label on the outside stating
how much whiskey the grip contains,
The free conference also struck out
the word receive" as the original
bill prohibited a man from giving his
friend a drink. The section prohib-
iting non-residents from getting whis-
key while in this State was also
stricken out. The bill as finally
adopted allows each resident of the
State to order two quarts of whis-
key or five dozen bottles of beer per
month. AS soon as the bill is signed
by the Governor it will become law.

SCHMIDT PAYS
DEATH PENALTY

Ossining, N. Y, Feb. 18.--Striding
boldly ahead of his attendants and
stopping on the brink of death to ex-
press a last fondness for his mother,
Hans Schmidt, the unfrocked New
York priest, convicted of the murder
of Anna Amueller, was c~lectrocuted
at dawn today. He died protesting
his innocence.
In a statement issued before his
death, Schmidt declared that the girl
was killed by an illegal operation.
He shouted goodbye to the inmates of
the death cell as he marched to the
death house. He died in eight min
utes. Father Cashin, chaplain, is

MORE POWER GIVEN
TO TAX COMMISSION

Columbia, Feb. 1S.-Amendments
to the tax commission bill adopted
today by the house in connection
with the bill by Senator Banks pro-
vide for the appointment of a board
of review of seven members, one
from each congressional district, the
assessments of property ~initially by
the authorities of each county and
power of equalization of assessments
as between individuals, firms and
corporations.
These amendments, it was said,
strengthen the act creating the COM
mission and are in conformity with
the expressed wishes of the general
assembly at its 1915 session.
The bill after some discussion and
an attempt to abolish the tax board
was sent to a third reading.

H. C.. T|[LMAN MADE
EXPLICIT STATEMENT
THAT HE WOULD BE IN THE
CONGRESSIONAL RACE
THIS SUMNER.
The Anderson Intelligencer Of the

The Anderson Intelligencer of the
18th inst, says:
A letter from Henry C. Tillman
to a prominent business man in An
derson yesterday brought the positive
announcement that the former would
be in the race for congress from
this district in the approaching prim-
airy. The gentleman asked that his
name be withheld from the public,
but showed the letter to a represen-
tative of The Intelligencer, stating
that the contents might be used.
1t has been rumored for some time
that Mr.. Tillman would be in the
congressional race, and the fact that
he has definitely decided to enter
will be learned with interest.
Henry C. Tillman is the son of
United States Senator B. R. Tillman
and is q successful attorney of
Greenwood. He is a Clemson college
man and is widely known through
out this district. He stated in the
letter that he intended to make the
race on his merits alone and that he
was going in to win. He is a live and
energetic man, and the fact that he
will be in the campaign will add
much interest to both the voters and
the other candidates.
With Congressman Aiken offering
for reelection, and Messrs. A. H.
Dagnall of Anderson, John R. Horton
of Bolton and Henry G. Tillman of
Greenwood in the race, and very
probably Fred H. Dominick of New
berry, the congressional ace will be
a warm one in the approaching cam
Daipn.

team in a very loosely played but ex-
citing game at Fort Ruger Sunday
afternoon. The game was feature
by the large number of mispays piled

Crumpler on the mound both started
well and Crumpler pitched good ball
throughout the game, while Stewart
lost control of the horsehide in the
fifth inning when he hit four bats
men and gave a base on balls. He
was replaced by South in the eighth
inning with the score 4 to 4. Two
timely singles in the last half of the
ninth inning saved the game for the
Ruger tossers. Box score:

war and the opportunity for decreas- ing the aid which Greece might offer to the allies was recognized and taken advantage of. This was a clever move on the part of the central powers.
 They may claim that those soldiers are not prisoners but are simply in- termed, but it is highly probable un- less they accede to the request of Greece that that very action will fur nish Greece with the needed reason for making it's decision to abandon its present neutrality and enter ac- lively into the European war. Greece knows well that Bulgaria is anxious to control that part of Greece from which the soldiers were taken, and Greece has no love for it's northeastern neighbor. As long as it can be kept out of the war it puts an. obstacle in the way of the entente allies plans, but inasmuch as the central powers must by this time believe that Greeces entry is only a question of time, it is not difficult to guess what the reply to the demand Is likely to be.
