Take dose Of nasty calomel to-day
and you will feel weak, sick and nau-

MARKET CORN AS IT'S NEEDED.
ID. II. Coker Advises Against Holding
Back-Dangerous Now.

David r. Coker food administers
tor for South Carolina, has issued
the following statement to the farm
ers OF the State:
"The grain dealers of the country
now have very little. corn for sale.
Within. the past few days several
merchants have told me that they
could not get quotations on corn or
on grits. There is an actual scarcity
OF corn at present in many of the
towns Of the State.
early planted corn in South Car
olina is now thoroughly cured and
ready for the market. The farmer
who promptly gathers, shucks, shells
and sacks his crop can probably get
50 or better for 1t from his mer-
chant. December corn is quoted in
Chicago between $1.15 and $1.2O.
Should the market remain at this
figure, corn will shortly come down
in this section to about $3.50 per
bushel. l, therefore, urge the farm
ers Of South Carolina to gather
enough corn promptly to supply the
local demand, and not wait for West
ern corn to come in, flood our local
markets and take them away from
us. ..
Merchants should give preference
to home corn at all times. 1t con-
tains less moisture and will keep bet
ter than most Western corn. Many
prefer home-ground corn meal to the
bolted meal Of commerce, and mer-
chants should arrange with local
mills to supply them and fill this
demand.
"By the right sort of co-operat.on
between the farmer, the merchant
and the housekeeper, the trenend-
Gus corn crop made in this State can
be consumed right here at home
Lack Of cooperation will mean ship
ping in Western corn and meal and
later shipping out our own product
Houselseepers will not consume us
freely If they have to buy imported
meal"

themselves feminists, who appear to
think men have taken a mean advan-

that they are saying. in effect, she can
only vindicate her claim to be human
being by copying all mans perform
anceS.
They have even raised the question
as to whether women are people or not,
and have hunted up and dragged forth
constitutional evidence to prove that
even if they can be rated as humans at
all. they properly belong in the cate
CORY with paupers, criminals and
idiots.
In order to offset some of this de-
pressing propaganda and enable a
woman to hold up her head at all in a
masculine company, it seems pertinent
and timely to call attention to some
of woman's claims to consideration on
her own account-simply as woman"

debut was greeted with Kisses and
the expression of the audience was
