Although the Lancaster cotton
market is being touted as about the
best that is, it would appear that the
market there is subject to reserva-
tions. Hearken to this from the Fort
Mill Times: Attracted by the adver-

caster, which was reported as 81 cents
for middling, several Fort Mill farmers
tried to dispose of their holdings there
but found upon investigation that Fort
Mill was better market. One OF the

THE "FLU' SITUATION

Physicians, as a rule, report that
influenza Is almost a thing OF the
past within the city. There are MI
merous cases where patients have
not fully recovered, but there are
very few new cases. DR.. Holt0n re-
ports that he has several new cases
which have developed the past two or
three days, but that for week or
ten days prior to that he had no
cases. other physicians, however
have had numerous. cases recently
but all are now convalescent.
The City Board OF Health will not
likely take any action whatever re-
garding removal of restrictions on
holding of public meetings or re-
opening of the schools, churches,
theaters, etc., until danger Of a re-
currence as the result of the Fair is
over. There is still much influenza
in the country and It is natural to
conclude that the gathering Of so
many people at Tampa this week
and the presence of many people from
other sections, will produce at least

more for me than all the treatments

IT,"
Dreco, the new remedy has become
instantly popular wherever It has
been introduced. 1t relieves consti
patton, aids the stomach to digest the
food, acts on a sluggish liver, and aids
weak kidneys. Dreco cleans the
poisons from the blood, thereby re-
lieving rheumatism and catarrh.
This great remedy is now sold by
all good druggists and is highly rec
commended in Lakeland by Henley &
Henley and all druggists.

with the excellent roads you have,
as was I.
"The roads from here to Daytona

MY attention has been directed r.

sively throughout the country and

THESE swindlers get the attention

advertisements calculated to make the
unsuspecting bond owner believe that
tne highest market price can be az.
cured for his bonds through the

the case. Records Of transactions OF

the owner will accept-and generally
far below the actual value of the
bonds. =
regret to observe that many rep

lied by accepting the advertisements
OF these swindlers, and I appeal to
all newspaper publishers to scrutinize
very carefully the character of in.
dividuals who use their columns to
offer to buy Liberty. bonds. AS a
newspaper publisher, l believe that
it is the duty of publishers to pro-
tect their readers against unscrupu-

Other swindlers endeavor to trade
worthless articles or securities of lit,
tie value for Liberty bonds. and
appeal to patriotic publishers to as
sist in putting an end to this prac-
tice.
The Treasury Department will take
such steps as are possible under the
law to protect the interests Of hold
ers of Liberty bonds, and will use
every means at its command to bring
to justice all who seek to defraud the
people who have so periodically as
sisted in winning the war by invest
ing their savings in Liberty bonds
and War Savings Stamps.
Owners of Liberty bonds and War
Savings Stamps should in no circum'
stances part with these securities un'
less necessity compels, and then they
should deal only with reliable banks,
trust companies, banking institutions
and others whose reputation for in
tegrity is beyond question. II It is

 Telegrams from Pail Mall, Tenn, York's home, said the former sol dier, who is second elder in the Church of Christ and Christian Union, had decided after a con ference with the pastor that the trip would be merely "a vainglor. ious call of the world and the devil'' and that he would serve God best by staying at home.
 A Louisville hotel manager had arranged to entertain York and his bride at breakfast today with sev. eral other guests, including Mayor Smith, Judge Robert W. Bingham and Henry Watterson.

Lee County Negro
 Is Granted Pardon

Acting Governor McFerrin We'd nesday issued a pardon to Ben Banks, negro, convicted at the April term of the Lee circuit court for stealing cotton and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, The state contended Banks was at the head of an organization of negroes who have been stealing cotton for several years, but he and his hencn- men had so completely covered their trails that it was extremely diff cult to secure evidence that would result in conviction. However, the officers finally got conclusive evi. dence of theft of quantity of seed cotton last winter and Banks was arrested. He was given a iurv trial and was represented by able counsel. The jury found him guilty and gave him a sentence of two years in the penitentiary. He took an appeal to the supreme court and was out on bond pending the d:spo- sltion of his appeal. Tn the mean time the acting governor las grant ed him a pardon. What arguments were used or what cxtenuating ci1- cumstances were presented to the acting governor to convince him there has been miscarriage O. just ice are matters that are not known here. It has been suggested that the governor send one of his rep- resentatives here to attend the next session of circuit court and pass np- on the guilt or innocence of those under indictment and save the coun- ty the expense of conducting trials.

The prop erty was purchased from Henry and Love Banks and Paul Benham, the consideration heinz s12,5OO. The property has frontage of 730 feet on Pearl street and 250 on Walnut street and takes in the residence now occupied by Tom Mclean and Horace Bonner.
 Hugh Nixon secretary of the board, stated yesterday the board contemplated the expenditure of ap- proximately $35,OO0 on an eight room high school building. The structure will not be large build ing, but will be strictly modern in it's design and appointments and will be so planned the. additions may be easily constructed. The gymna- sium building will be separate from the high school building. The pres ent school building on Mulberry street will be used exclusively for the grades and the new building on Pearl street will be used for the high school department. The grounds will be placed in good condition for all athletics and will include a base ball diamond and field, football and track fields.
 About a year ago the board pur- chased piece of property in South east Marianna known as the Col. Dupuy property ostensibly for the purpose of erecting a high school building on the grounds. This prop erty, stated MT. Nixon, is now for sale. It embraces between five and six acres and was purchased for $4,500.
