A CHILD HATES OIL,
CALOMEL, PILLS FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS
Give California Syrup of Figs" If
Cross, Sick, Feverish, Con-
stipated.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old from of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious california Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it.; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
: Ask your druggist for 5O-cent
bottle of California Syrup of Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on each bottle. Beware of
counterfeits sold here. See that it is
made by california Fig Syrup Com
pany." Refuse any other kind with
contempt.

But we feel this to be one time that is
worth while to take a try at giving
advice. We feel sure that the farm
ers in Union county can hold their cot
ton and we trust they will do so. It
is probable that the price will go up
to high figure. But the renter and
the small farmer feels that he will
have to sell to pay up what he owes.
He should take his cotton to bonded
warehouse and get the certificates for
it, go to the bank and borrow what
money he must have to pay his guano
and other debts. If you must raise
money, do so through the warehouse
system. You will probably make mon-
ey by the transaction; anyway, you
will have shown a determination to
help yourself. We have a good bond
ed warehouse here in Union. You will
find every bank in Union county will
ing to lend you money on the certifi-
Gates. This plan will give you ready
money and it will help prevent dump
ing the early cotton on the market,
thus driving the price down.

The situation in Russia grows
worse each day. 1t now seems that
the "bloodless" revolution instituted
six months ago will, before it comes
to a conclusion, reveal a fearful
amount of bloodshed. The civil strife
now going on in that unhappy coua-
try will not be settled until a deluge
of blood flows over the country. This
does not mean that the new democracy
established there will fail Nor does it
mean that the cause of the allies will
go down in defeat. The fact is, Rus
sia has not done any great thing in
the present war; they have been
slaughtered in great numbers, but
they have not contributed any great
strength to the cause of the allies. 1t
is no worse for the allies now than it
was before. But Russia herself is
about to enter upon a carnage that is
fearful. AS some say, the miraculous
may happen, but unless it does, Rus
sia is coming to a dark and bloody
day.

long term in any office, provided
he has served conscientiously, tried to

That if there was some evidence. of

bit of it; now then. But that is often,
more often than not, the fact, in re-
ligious bodies, as well as politics. With
the preachers who come into the asso-

they know nothing of past history
and they-well, never mind.
TO my mind, that is a pretty good
record, anyway. Hey Denver.

A bright little woman of this city,
who is always working for the uplift
of the community, volunteered to sell
tickets for the chautauqua and some
of her experiences are rich and she re-
lates them in her own inimitable way.
She says: "The men in Union are
model husbands (Which I would not
have known but for the chautauqua) 4;
they cannot buy tickets without con-
sulting their wives; they cannot come
out at all at night-not at all; they
have to rock the baby to sleep; they
have to stay with their families and
on and on for quite number of good
excuses" This little woman remarked
that the husbands had made wonder
full impression on the advance agent
and it would go forth to all the world
that Union is unique in more instances
than one; she furnished more than
her quota of men for the army and
is furnishing more model husbands
than any town in the whole United
States. A new story but the same
old Adam.

In the death of DR.. William Plumer

In the death of DR.. William Plumer
Jacobs South Carolina has lost one of
her foremost citizens, mighty build
er in matters pertaining to the moral
and religious life of the State as well
as a promoter of material develop
ment. His life, long one, was spent
in service to his fellows, service that
shows most beautifully in his minis
try to children. The impress of his
great character will live in the hearts
of many who have received from him
inspiration and help when they were
weak, unable to help themselves. His
work as founder and developer of
Thornwell Orphanage is his greatest
achievement, but he was a man of
mark in other matters of human in
terest. He was interested in civic
righteousness and gave much time
and thought to such affairs; he was a
faithful minister of the Gospel, and
has, through his preaching, led many
souls to Christ. A beautiful life, well
rounded and full of service, he has left
to the entire State rich heritage and
a name that will not perish from the
earth.

The last two years have been years
when America has come to the front
In motor car design. II Is possible, OF
course, that Europe would have con-
tinued to. set the pace for motor car
construction even n the great war had
not forced manufacturers 20 other
work than planning and perfecting
new features which would Improve
their cars, but Il ID hardly probable.
The manufacturers in the United
States have shown wonderful progress
siveness gand.ft was only during the
first few years OF the industry that
European preeminenee was held fast
~. Then the effect of the designers
OF the old country on the designers
In America began TO wane, and the
American makers set out along new
paths to perfect their designs.
Use Of Aluminium Castings
Take, for instance. the twelve cylin-
der motor. There have been great
many of these kinds Of motors deyel-
oped in the experimental rooms Of Eu-.
ropean factories, but it remained for
in quantities for large productions.
Another well known case that can be
pointed out is that of the use of
aluminium for cylinder castings. Eu.
ropean manufacturers have been ex-
perimenting, or were before the war,
with the use Of this material, but 1t
remained for an American company
to put an engine with cylinders of
aluminium IN their stock product.
America has pioneered in the light
weight car Of scientific construction.
and by doing so has progressed ahead

In the automobile field who have made
observations abroad. that the Eu-
rtspeans will be following america
after the war IN the extensive use of
uiuminum-that the reduction Of

sideration, and that engines with cyl.
inder castings of aluminium WIN be
found nj least IN the higher crane
European cars.
Other Progress Noted
The progressiveness OF Americans
IN the development OF electric start
ing and lighting apparatus Is an old
story. but Il serves TO show how the
worm has turned and now America
is debating the fashions Of the world
IN motor cars.
X IS also interesting to note that
America has taken the lead in produc-
ing car that Will not require such
incessant attention to oiling OF chassis
parts and general upkeep. For In
stance. the Marmon "a has only -four
grease cups, and these are on the
steering connections. Other cars,
our engineers found. have as many as
so or 60 grease cups and not only are

The car of four grease cups as
this might be called, was first intro
dhced at the automobile shows last
year. That foreign builders were

Thought was shown by the Fergus car
from the shop of an Irish auto manu-
facturer, which had elaborate means
for oHing the whole chassis, largely

The Fergus car, we are told, was built
from the owners point OF view Of de-
creasing the trouble and expense Of

another feature not so readily OBJ
served, perhaps, as some already men.
tioned-the development OF which Is
largely due to the work OF American
automobile engineers-is the perfect
ing of balance or the proper distribu-
ton of weight European makers have,
as a rule, never paid much attention
to the weight of their big cars. They
have perfected great many, tight
weight cars, but In most Instances
they were small The large cars we're
heavy and. as consequence Of their
weight, rode easily.
Decreasing the Weight
: American designers have turned to
the problem of decreasing the weight
OF their big cars, and at the same time
increasing the degree of comfort pos.
sible to the passengers. To obtain this
It has been necessary to gain comfort
by securing better balance. In the
Marmon "a, for instance, inspiring
weight is reduced to a minimum by
using wire wheels, by making the rear
axle lighter without sacrificing
strength and by placing the transmits
sion on the forward end Of the torque
tube suspended from cross member
OF the frame.
Ii is the American car that now sets
the pace and their innovations have
been proved to be absolutely sound
in practise by the successful opera
tion Of cars containing them. 1t will
be very interesting, indeed, to watch
the trend of construction in Europe
