RESISTANCE TO DISEASE

Debility is q loss Of vitality, not
affecting any one part of the body par
ticularly but the system generally. It
is dangerous because it reduces the
body's resistance to disease.
When debility follows acute diseases,
convalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An at
tack of the grip often results in debility
that persists for months. Everybody
recognizes that the remedy for debility
is to build up the blood because the
blood goes to every part of the body and
an Improvement in its condition i9
quickly felt throughout the system.
The problem in every case is to find
something that will enrich the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills suit most
peoples need because they are non-al-
coholic and they really build up the
blood and strengthen the nerves. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are useful for grow
ing children and for men and women

The Mexican War Situation AS Chronicled in Abbeuie
20 Years AGO and Todau-
and Today

Secretary Lansing by Eliseo Are
dondo, ambassador designate. He
threw no Light on its purport.
While reports as to the domestic
situation Of the Carranza government
are gloomy, the attitude of Mexican
officials towards the United States has
been described as more friendly since
the border military conference. It is
believed possible this will be reflect
ed in the new note.
Since the state departments rep
resentation as to the renewed raid
ing in the Big Bend country of Texas
has not been answered the note is
expected to 60 into the subject. OFF,
cials here, including Secretary Baker,
say the border military conference
left the situation unchanged as to
steps to be taken with regard to new
raids. The state department holds
that the original agreement proposed
by Gen. Carranza and accepted by
Secretary Lansing fully covers Col.
Sibley's drive into Mexico after the
Boquillas raiders.

Washington, May o. The eco
nomic situation in Mexico is extreme
ly grave, according to official advices
to the state department. With the
monetary situation already acute, the
food shortage in Mexico City and
vicinity continuing without prospect
of any Immediate relief and with the
labor strike existing over virtually all
the Mexican railroad lines, the de
facto government is pictured as fac
ing serious domestic plight.
First hand reports as to the situa-
ton in northern Mexico will reach the
department this week. Consul Letcher
from Chihuahua City is en- route to
Washington, presumably bringing
with him a synopsis of the reports of
five other consuls recently ordered
to the border to talk over conditions
with military officials there.

Dr.. Welch has been president 81

pacy in 1914. He is 81 years old.

Columbia, May 18.-Advocating a
federalized warehouse system and op-
posing the State embarking in the
fire insurance business, Solicitor K.
A. Cooper of Laurens last night lssu-
ed a lengthy statement outlining his
reasons for entering the gubernator-
ial race. The solicitation Of friends
supplemented by the support that he
received in his race two years. ago,
stated Mr.. Cooper, were suftlclent
reasons for the announcement OF his
candidacy in 1915. Mr.. Cooper be-
lieves in q State controlled ware
house system, but one that closely
co-ordinates with the national bank.
ing system in the guaranteeing OF
warehouse receipts. The Laurens
candidate thinks that state rating bu-
reau should be substituted for the
combination bureau forbidden by the
Laney-Odom act or one-man Judge.
Mr.. Cooper's statement follows:
sI have entered the race for gov
ernor at the solicitations Of numerous
friends in whom ] have implicit faith
and confidence. Without these evil
dences of friendship and support l
would not be in the race today. How
ever, the reasons which prompted me
to offer for this, high honor two years
ago have reinforced me in my decis-
ion to run again. These consider
pardonable reasons as they grow out
of the promptings of my heart to be
of service and, at the same time, to
realize the ambition that every true
South Carolinian may well cherish,
to be governor of this great and good
State. If there are those who find
fault with this position, let them
make of it what they may. / stand
upon the right, taught me from child
hood, that any Democrat is privileg-
ed to offer himself as candidate for
nomination by the party for any Of
flee within the gift of the people.
81 have never, during the past 16
years of public life; based my candi-
dacy for any position on any other
platform than that Of my fitness for
public service. I do not expect to
deviate from that course, unless fore
ed to it by others. It shall be my
endeavor to conduct my campaign
free from personalities and let the
people of the State decide by their
ballot whom they desire to represent
them in this great Office.
1T is impossible at this time to
predict the issues upon which the
campaigns are decided by issues
which came to the surface during the
last few weeks. However, it is ap-
parent to me that the people will
want to know our respective positions
upon the warehouse snd insurance
situations. Tr
"In regard to the former, will
state that I am in hearty sympathy
with the fundamental principles un-
derlying the State-controlled ware
house idea. That is, I believe that
it is within the province of the State
to provide some means which will IA
cilitate the gradual marketing of
the States principal product or pro-
ducts, so that the producers may
realize fair profit. i believe that
the State warehouse system as now
conducted is a long step forward in
