i. In normal times the tobacco is pur-
chased from the planters by agents
who, having no capital of their own
give warrants to the growers at the
time of the delivery of the leaf and
later redeem these from the proceeds
of sales.
Heretofore most of the tobacco
grown in the Republic has been sent
to Europe, and as commerce with
that continent is now practically nil
there is no demand for the crop. The
local buyers have no money to pay
the farmers for their product, nor
sale if it could be paid for. 1t was
suggested that the tobacco firms of
Santo Domingo combine and buy up
the current crop, but investigation
led to the rejection Of the plan as
impracticable. While financial condi-
tions here are not good, owing to
the war, there is no degree of hope
lessness to the situation. The coun-
try is rich and the people can wait
until better times enable them to dis
pose of their crops.

brighter after the house had rejected
important amendments which prom

Rejection in the house of point

JOHN v. WALLACE
Dies in Atlanta at Grady Hospital,
Well Known i'm Manning.

r y stE <
Mr.. John Vernon Wallace, Of Char.
lesion, passed away at the Grady hos--
pital in Atlanta yesterday morning
after only short illness. Is 81
News Of Mr. Wallace's death was
received in Charleston with shock,
as he had only left this city a few
days ago to go to the home of his
brothers and sisters, at Fort M6Pher-
sonville, suburb of Atlanta, to re-
cuperate after a lingering spell of
illness following an operation per-
formed about three months ago.
Reaching Atlanta, however, he was
taken acutely ill, and pneumonia set
in. He was rushed to Grady hospital,
where everything possible was done
to save him, but to no avail. The
crisis was reached shortly after mid
night Thursday. Mrs. Wallace and
her five children are in Atlanta.
Mr.. Wallace numbered his friends
here by the hundreds, and for many
years was prominently identified with
Charleston's business interests. The
large business development Of the
Cable Piano company was largely due
to his energetic and active manager
ship of the concern. The Charleston
Piano company was organized about
three years ago by Mr.. Wallace, and
he became its president and conttroll-
ing factor. He also was president of
the Charleston Edison Photograph
company.
Mr.. Wallace took an active interest
in public affairs, serving in the leg
islature, on the board of control Of
the dispensary, and in many other
ways identifying himself with the
business political, fraternal and social
life Of Charleston.
Mr.. Wallace was 81 years of age,
and was a native Of Bennettsville,

CALF CLUBS IN FLORENCE

A new departure in dairying in the

breed selected was the Guernsey. Sew
enty-six boys joined the Calf Club
and agreed to purchase calves and to
feed and raise them according to the
rules drawn up by the County Agent
and the dairy specialist. AS the
calves could not be found in the South,
one Of the dairy specialists went to
jefferson County, Wisconsin, and
bought them. The age Of the calves
ranged from six to ten months. The
calves came in June 18th and were
distributed June 13. Each boy went

ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid is Cause of Indigestion.

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion s.
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from a lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta-
ton, then our meals sour like gar
bage in a can, forming acrid fluids
and gases which initiate the stomach
like toy balloon. We then get that
heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we
eructate sour food, belch gas or have
heartburn, fatulence, water brash, or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast while it is
effervescing, and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for one week. While relief
follows the first dose, it is important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
gas-making mass, start the liver, stim-
ulate the kidneys and thus promote
a free flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.-Adv

NEWS OF STEELTON
STEEL PRICES
STILL INCREASE
Further Advances Are Predict
ed; International Conditions
Stimulate Demand

Prices are undeniably the main con-
cern of the iron and steel trade. This
week like those preceding, marks
further advances. Those already made
have been fairly we'll tested and there
is nothing discernible that is calcu-
lated to reduce them for many months
unless 1t be a lack of balance in re-
spect to the new capacity from time
to time.
The Iron Age in summarizing the
situation to-day says:
international conditions have, if
anything, stimulated demand. For
eign bidding for materials seems not
to have diminished in any particular
and many domestic consumers are
With mills booked for months with
definite business, all of it substantially
lrrevocable, it is not surprising that
pressure from buyers forces large
price jumps nor that mills are dis
inclined to take on the usual so-called
domestic contracts which, with few
exceptions, have proved to be mere
options OF advantage chiefly to the
buyer.
What purchasing is abandoned be-
cause of high prices, and such is ap-
pearing in general building construc-
ton, is regarded as a stabilizing in
fiuence as representing q definite fu-
ture demand. The uneasiness accom-
panying the rapid advances seems to
be disappearing. A policy in some re-
cent finished steel sales of requiring
the completion of specifications in the
| last half of this year for material tC
be delivered in the first half of neXt
serves to remove fears that prices are
artificial, though an incentive in max.
ing the rise may have been to hold
back foreign business and to provide
sufficiently for our own government
needs.
AS If to pyramid demand, wore
now comes that the new Russian Gov.
| ernment is planning fresh loans to Sc.
cure cars, locomotives and rails. Then
to add to the future backlog may bt
counted probably increased railroad
| purchases for trackage, for if recen
railroad procedure gives any pre-
cedent, recognition of the lack of ter
minal facilities will follow increasing
motive power capacity just as buying
on this account came after a shortage
in cars seemed to be the one need.
1T is clearer that ship plates fol
| deferred shipments are differentiated
| from tank plates as they have beer
for nearby shipment the one ranging
from sc upward, and the other from
41ac. Ship shapes are more com
monty going at plate prices. No plat,
sales at 7hc C have yet been noted, bu
the wider tank plates more general,
command &c. For battle and scou
cruisers for the United States Govern
ment $4,000 tons have been closed, no
including 10000 tons of armor plat,
which went at the prices named las
November. Following 100000 tons O
ship plates offered to mills withou
takers last week, all of 5000 tons wa
refused this week."
