Restored Her.

There is no bigger problem than
that which the woman worker has to
meet. With rent, clothing, food,
fuel all going higher and higher, her
worries are greater than ever. Though
weaker and more liable to illness
than men, these women must be at
their best, whether they are in office,
store, factory or home. They must
be bright, confident, ambitious or fail.
The weak, nervous, run down wo-
man has very little chance, and this
was realized by Josephine Dougherty.

VOTE FOR THE MAN WHOSE PA.
TRIOTISM HAS NEVER BEEN
QUESTIONED

The political waters were consider
ably muddied last Sunday when Ex-
Senator McLaurin, candidate for
Governor, published a letter charging
Blease with having planned bolt
from the party in 1916. McLaurin
has been classed until lately as a
"Bleasite," and so, on the face of it,
things are getting not only rather
warm, but bit complicated.
For the plain voter who wishes to
vote right The State sums up the sit
uation we'll:
"The Democrats of South Carolina
have the opportunity to support for
all the public officers men against
whose loyalty to the Demacrtic party
no accusations have been brought by
anybody; about whose loyalty to the
Democratic party no questions have
been asked by anybody"
1t is our duty at this time to pick
the cleanest and most consistently
loyal man for each office and vote for
that man.

would-we may expect that the AL
lies win be prepared at last to meet
their foe with masses Of troops, num-
bers Of heavy guns, and multitude
of airships hitherto entirely unknown
in the history Of this bloody con-
flict. We have not doubt not fear
but that finally victory will perch up
on the banner of our Allies. We do
not believe that there has ever gone
to the field of battle an army superb
or in physical strength, moral and
mental equipment, the equal Of the
mighty host of American manhood
that has ever crossed, and is now
crossing the ocean to take their part
on the sanguine fields Of France.
They are brave and true. They know
what they are fighting for Soon we
may expect to get the reports of thou
sands of our American soldiers slain
and wounded in battle. Let US gird
and brace our selves for the worst.
Let us be calm and courageous, what
ever comes. Let us pray to God for
His Divine mercy upon our poor suf-
fering world, and look forward with
hope to the time when the war clouds
shall have passed, and the sun shall
again shine in peace"

THE MISSING LETTERS

After considerable trouble the in
habitants of a certain small village
were given a post Office. At first
their pride in the acquisition was un-
bounded. Then complaints began to
come in that letters were not being
sent off properly. The Post Office
Department accordingly ordered an
inspector to look into the matter.
What becomes of the letters post
ed here?" he asked of the postmaster,
who was also the grocer. "The peo-
pie say that they are not sent off,"
Course they amt" snorted the
old man angrily as he pointed to a
large and nearly empty mail bag
hanging in a corner. 81 haven't sent
it off because it amt anywheres near
full yet"-Youth's Companion.

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLEI
Calomel 10 quicksilver and acts like
dynamite on your liver.

Calomel loses you a day. You
know what calomel is. It's mercury:
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Gallo
mel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of danger
Gus calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for few cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes YOU
sick the-next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

ALL DEPENDS UPON
THE UNITED STATES

The following statement was re-
Gently made by Herbert Hoover, fed
eral food administrator:
eff you could stand in the middle
of Europe today and survey the land
to its borders, you would discover it's
whole population of 4OO,OOO,OOO hu-
man beings short of food. Millions
Of people in Poland, Finland, Serbia,
Armenia and Russia are dying of
starvation and other millions are suf-
fering from too lite food. Our allies
and the neutrals are living on the
barest margins that will support life
and strength.
"This, the most appalling and
dreadful thing that has come to hu-
manity since the dawn of civilization,
is to me the outstanding creation of
German militarism. The Germans
themselves are not the worst suffer-
ers. They are extorting at the cam
mons mouth the harvest and cattle of
the people they have overrun, leaving
them in desolation. If the war were
to cease tomorrow, the toll of actual
dead from starvation and its attend
ant diseases within the German lines
would double or treble the 100000
or 100000 of men who have been
actually killed by Germany and her
allies in arms. The 100000 peo-
pie in occupied Belgium and Northern
France would have died of starvation
had it not been for us and the allies
"We must build our food resources
to stand ready for any demands upon
us by the allies. 1t is of no purpose
to us to send millions of our best
men to France if we fail to maintain
the strength of their men, women and
children on our lines of communica-
ton. The United States is the last
reservoir of men, the last reservoir
of ships, the last reservoir of muni-
tions and the last reservoir of food
upon which the allied world must
depend if Germany is to be defeated
and if we are to be free men,"

The Charleston News and Courier:
There are few men whose death at
81 could cause the feeling of sub
stantial loss which comes with the an
aouncement that Major James Lidc
Coker, of Hartsville, has passed away.
Before the War Between the States
Major Coker had started on his ca
reer and had mapped out his life
work; having taken special course
at Harvard University with a view to
lifting himself for scientific farming.
The story of Major Coker's life
work is an epitome of the reconstruc-
ton of the South following the Civil
War. A veteran of that struggle, he
returned to his plantation at it's close,
% go for the rest of his life on
:rutches and to find the foundations
which he had laid at it's beginning
swept away. BY his ability, his for
;itude, his industry he relaid those
foundations more broadly than ever,
and not only prospered greatly him
self, but assisted all about him to do
so also. For years the community
which he did SO much to build has
oeen the shining example Of it's kind
IN the South.
There are two striking things about
Major Coker's business career. The
.irst is the scope on which he operat-
ed. He was always far in advance
Of the procession. He owed his sue
cess to his gift of seeing ahead and
% his confidence in the vision which
ne saw. He and his sons have done
more than any others for the ad-
vancement Of scientific agriculture in
this section. He was big merchant
at country cross roads. He was
banker and builder and manufacture
er who did not wait for opportunity
but made opportunity for himself. The
second thing is that he did all this in
time when the South was still bank
rupt, building up a large fortune for
the part of the country in which he
lived, and yet with it all retained the
confidence, the respect and the af-
fection not only of his neighbors but
of all with whom he did business,
white and black. We do not believe
that any one ever heard Major. Cox
er's integrity questioned. He was
recognized far and wide as an honest
and Just man.
In his latter years great part of
Major Coker's thought and effort and
ment and upbuilding of Coker Col
lege. In this institution he has left
noble monument to his memory. 1t
was the pride and JOY Of his heart
and he has pla, d it on so secure
footing that it should grow and pros
per with the years and become in
steadily increasing measure an in
strument for the advancement of cul-
ture and high ideals in Eastern Caro-
lima of the kind he designed it to
prove.
Major Coker loved his State with
deep affection and he loved especially
the Peedee. In such leisure as he
was able to seize from a busy life he
did much to rescue and preserve it's
history and traditions; and in his
own useful activities on many lines
he contributed splendidly to main
taing the record of it's great citizens.
In his death South Carolina has lost
her foremost philanthropist and a
man whose worth and usefulness
should prove lasting inspiration.
