oURsRoYs WANT LETTERS
From Folks Back Homo"--No
Worry II They Get Letters.

The Courier Is in receipt Of the
following letter from overseas from
an Oconee boy who hasn't heard
from anyone lately. Will he get a
letter? We believe that he will.
Homer Whitmire writes us as fol-
lows:
Villon, France, Feb. 10, 1919.
Editor Keowee Courier:
will you allow space In you paper
in which to write the Oconee people
a few lines' l haven't much to do,
SO will write short letter.
sure would like to know what Is
the matter with the people back in
the States. They must not care
about their boys in France, or
at least they don't write to them
very much. All of the boys are COM
planning about their mail. We hard
iy ever get any mail. l suppose the
people think that, since the war is
over, we are on our way home, but
we are not.
This is pretty country over here,
snd the French have some of the
finest stock there Is on the market
anywhere. But prefer the States
for my part.
We are all anxious to get back
home now, but we didn't think any
thing about going back when the
war was on hand. We are having
a pretty good time over here. We
drill half day and play ball games
in the afternoons, so we have nice
time at last. We get plenty to eat,
plenty to drink, plenty to smoke-so
Why should we worry about home if
we could only hear from the folks
once in a while.
Well, hope to see the Oconee peo-
pie some time this summer any way.
Respectfully,
Pvt. Homer Whitmire.

Guction III acreage, but as written
before, we are sorry to see it because
we do not think it will be necessary,
and If we are right in our views Of
the market, we believe that the
prices prevailing around planting
time will induce farmers to put a
much larger acreage in cotton than
originally contemplated"
AS an illustration of information
sent by the New York firms the fol-
lowing was sent leading business
man and planter in South Carolina:
AN opinion has been given by the
attorney for the bureau Of markets
Of the United States government that
all transactions in old style con-
tracts Chose trades made prior to
March 4) must be liquidated before
May I, 1919. All trades on hand
after that date must be in new
syle' contracts liquidated by our
customers. We must, therefore, re-
quest that you close out your old
style contracts in accordance with
the above ruling"
This absolutely and positively con-
trary to the rulings Of Mr.. Brand of
the department Of markets. AS a
result Of such incorrect information
being sent out vast amount of cot
ton was closed out. If such had not
heen the case. the market would
have shown remarkable high level
before it would have been possible
for the bears to have stopped the
advance
1t appears that some people in the
State are making a fight on the cot
ton association. The following let
ter has been received from one man:
II have ask several men to pledge
themselves to cut the acre and shord
the letter they say they wont pay
anything for some big man to live
without work and smoak he cigars
on
The South Carolina Cotton AS
sociation has 1900 men who are
giving, untiringly and unselflshly, of
their work and services without re-
muneratio Their only compensa-
tion is their earnest desire to gain
commercial freedom for the South
and benefit our State and it's citi-
2enship. The central committee
members have been ,over-taxed and
overworked. They are paying their
own expenses and gladly rendering
every effort possible to push the work
to successful termination. In addi-
tion they have contributed Of their
own means to assist in the financial
support. which Is, IL course, abso-
lutely nee" .ary.

ing.

Doctors say that the old-style calo-
mel was tho best medicine in the
world and the only thing that would
straighten out a disordered liver, but
1t had some serious drawbacks. The
and the sickening after
effects made many people dread to
take 1t. The new calomel called
Calotabs, have all the liver benefits
left In and the sting taken out. Now
you can take calomel without the
slightest objection. One Calotab on
the tongue at bedtime with swallow
OF water, that's all. No taste, no
danger, no gripping, no nausea, no
salts. Next morning your liver Is
clean, your system purified and you
are feeling like two-year-o old, with
hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat
what you pleuse.-No danger.
Calotabs are so delightful that
your druggist will refund the price
IL you are not delighted with them.
Sold only in original sealed packages,
price thirty-five cents All druggists
now have Calotabs. -ady.

Answer.

Why didn't you wait to be drafted?
The answer is simple enough:
on need no brass band to lead you,
You are made of the right kind of
stuff.
Your banquet will come when it's
over,
And that's when you want to be
cheered;
And then you will know you de-
served it
Because you volunteered.
Don't get discouraged so quickly
From what I've seen I've hunch
That out Of these millions Of SOL
diers
Uncle Sam likes you best of the
bunch.
You don't complain of the duties,
Of hardships you have no fear;
You lick up your meals with a relish
Because you are a volunteer.
You weren't dragged in by number
AZ tho you we're nothing at all;
You didn't go round with frown on,
Afraid that your country would call.
You didn't buy every paper
And scan the draft columns with
fear;
You marched right along with your
head up
!;ncauSc YOU volunteered.
What if the little draft Willies
10 get little more praise?
rrr;sc will not get the damn kaiser:
It's real work we want these days.
lust keep your eyes on Berlin, boys;
Never mind the brass bands and
cheers:
Tho glory will go to the Heroes
And they'll be the volunteers.

COTTON MEETING APRIL 3.
Big Gathering VIII DO Held ut
Craven Hall, Columbia.

Columbia, March 9.-Governor
w. p. G. Harding, of the Federal Re-
serve Board; Hon. Robert +. Mad
,doX, Of Atlanta, president of the
American Bankers Association, and
other speakers Of national reputation
will probably deliver addresses at
the big Statewide cotton rally to be
held in Craven Hall, this city, OH
April 3, beginning at noon 1t had
been planned to hold this meeting
in the hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives, but the indications point
to such a large attendance that it
has been decided to hold it in a
larger hall.
Governor Harding is expected to
speak on the exporting and market
i, e of cotton. Mr.. MaddoX's address
will be on banking. financing and
stabilizing the price of cotton.
1t was stated at the office Of the
South Carolina Cotton Association
in this city to-day that definite steps
ton of the cotton belt looking to
the formation Of plans that will re-
suit in a banking system for properly
financing and stabilizing the price Of
cotton, and the formation of a cor
poration for the exporting and mar
ketfng Of cotton along the lines sug-
aested by Governor Harding.
Definite plans are also being
formed. 1t was said. for the organi-
zation Of a Southern Cotton Associa-
ton. the membership to be composed
or farmers, bankers, merchants and
business men. The idea is to have
this association represent practically
all OF the business interests Of the
South, absolutely controlled by the
cotton interests. This would in no
wise conflict with the bankers as
sociations, the Farmers Union and
cher organizations. but will have
their cooperation. Special charters
will be secured for the association
Some Bear Dope.
Inc lOllO"lnS statement was given
out to-day by the South Carolina Cot
ton Association:
"As an illustration Of the propa-
ganda now being sent out by the
cotton bears, the following Is cited:
"The movement for reduction in
acreage in this section Of the coun-
try may have some effect, but there
Is no such movement on hand in the
West, where they have good seasons
and expect to plant a full CROP
This propaganda III the Southern
States reads that there will be no re-
duction in the West, and in the
Western States it reads that there
will hc no reduction in the South.
