Washington, June 10.-A resolution
to have the sentae declare it could
not concur in the league Of nations
drawn was introduced today by Sena-
tor Knox, Republican, of the foreign
relations committee. The resolution
was then referred to the foreign rela-
tions committee. 1t vas offered after
Senator Knox had conference with
Chairman Lodge Of the committee
and there is evidence it would have
the backing of those who conducted
the fight against the league. 1t is un-
derstood to be designed as an official
notice to the peace conference that
ratification Of the treaty in the present
form is opposed.

Hog Cholera Prevalent
!.
Baker Finds Disease Nearly All
Over State =


Columbia, June 10.-Cho1era is ex-
acting heavy toll among hogs in nearly
every county in the State, says L., L.
Baker, supervisor of the boys clun
work of the State. He finds the dis
ease particularly prevalent in counties
in the lower half Of the State and a
taint of it in every section.
During the last few years, through
the agency of boys corn and pig club
enthusiasm and enterprise, thousands
of pure bred hogs have been brought
into South Carolina, and Mr.. Baker
says that hundreds of these valuable
animals have been lost in the epidemic
which is spreading over South Caro-
lima. He knows Of breed soWs Wortns;
from 800 to $3.50 which have suc-
cumbed to the disease, besides the
scores of pigs and shoats valued from
SIS up to s75 and s1oo.
Just as the cattle tick has. been
eradicated by the cooperation OF State
and federal forces and appropria-
tions, there will have to be Similar
union of efforts to stamp out hog
cholera, he says. The latter move
WOulQ U0 JUST dS ~ oilleic1C: III.
thinks. in view of the heavy losses
now being sustained. ,
Yesterday Mr. Baker received the
pig club enrolment list from Green
vile county, which showed that 27os
youngsters have entered the contest
with pure bred pigs, many of the boys
who were in the lists last year pos
sessing from one to five pigs. The
number, is far from complete, A. a.
Chapman, county agent of Greenville,.
says.
In addition to the large number OF
pigs which the Greenville boys Will
feed scientifically and market coop
eratively through the county agent.
the Greenville youths have sold 10e,
pure bred pigs to competitors in the
neighboring county Of Anderson;
These will also be fed scientifically
and marketed comparatively. c. -.
Patrick is the county agent in Andef-5
SON and like his neighbor in Green
vile is making remarkable progress
in the club work Of that section. The
enrolment in the pig clubs will this
year likely exceed all past records
Mr.. Baker says, and Greenville easily
holds first rank among the counties.

G. A.. CARPENTER
ANNOUNCES FOR SUPER
VISOR, DISTRICT S

Mr.. C. A. Carpenter authorizes
The Sentinel to state that he VIII
submit his name to the voters OF DIS
trict 5 as a candidate for the office
of Supervisor. Mr.. Carpenter is no"
serving his third term as Constable
for his district and it would seem that
the fact of his. repeated election to
this important Office is the very best
attest that he has been faithful and
efficient as a public official.
Mr.. Carpenter is a hard working,
Industrious farmer. There are per-
haps few men who have applied
themselves more diligently and more
continuously to toiling on the farm
during the past few years than he,
and his labors have been rewarded
with the accumulation of a nice tract
Of land and those conveniences that
go with the good, country home.
These matters are worthy of con-
sideration in measuring any man and
would seem to show that he has that
business tact and judgment so neces-
sary in a supervisor. The scriptures
teach the lesson of promotion to
larger things where fidelity is shown
in the smaller ones, a matter which
30 doubt Mr.. Carpenter thinks the
citizenship of his Beat will not over
look in considering his qualifications
for tbs important trust.
Mr.. Carpenter is a kind hearted,
obliging man and is a clever and con-
siderate neighbor, He endeavors to
meet the obligations of citizenship &C
cording to the highest standards Of
society. With his assets as an Of
fetal and as a citizen, it is safe to
say that he will prove a formidable
factor in the contest for that office.

BOB WEST IN THE
RACE FOR SHERIFF

With this issue of The Sentinel
formal notice is given TO the people Of
Grenada county of Mr.. Bob Vests
desire to serve them as their next
Sheriff.
Mr.. West is TO untried factor a
a public officer. He was sheriff for
four years, being succeeded in jan
uary 1919 by the present Sheriff. Mr..
Vests record is therefore before the
people of the county and he of curse
realizes that it will be the most i'm
portant factor in determining his
fate in the present contest. 1t can
not be truthfully said that Mr.. West
did not make every effort to follow
the law as the guide for his official
acts. H acted upon the assumption
that the oath required of an officer
meant literally what it said and that
his duty lay only in the path mapped
out by the law In many respects it
is refreshing to find an officer,
especially has this been true in the
years that are past, who believes in
the enforcement of the law. Law
is designed for the protection of so
ciety, to save the weak from the
strong, and it is therefore readily
recognized that the safest and surest
bulwark Of the people is in the en-
forcement of the law.
Mr.. West is o-e Of the county's
most dependable citizens. He is
honest and upright, and an obliging
neighbor and a kind friend. He
refers to look for the sunshine rather
than for the dark and lowering clouds
end there is much about him that
not only attracts but makes one feel
more cheerful and glad to be with
him.
Should he be successful in his nm
bitiOn, the people of Grenada u
ty would know that the affairs of the
office would be honestly conducted
and that he would serve them to the
best of his ability.

and that he was performing from five
to Il dozen surgical operations a day
he was too patriotic, too much m
lot TO actually close the doors Of

der himself for service. He was at
once accepted and The Sentinel
hazards the statement that there was
not a more faithful or a more skilled
surgeon in the army. He comes pack
with the consciousness of having done
his duty and with the plaudits of his
countrymen
DIR. Crisler- is a great, big hearted
man. He does not operate a sani-
tarium or money but primarily be-
cause he loves his work and wants to
render a service to suffering human
ity. He is a friend to humanity and
is trying to do his part towards help
irg his fellows out of their distresses
and their ailments. 1t is therefore
no wonder that this noble man, this
heightened Christian gentleman, this
dependable friend has achieved such
enOWn as a surgeon.
The Jackson Sanitarium is more
like a home than a sanitarium or a
hospital. The Doctor makes his home
in the Sanitarium and each and every
patient receives his individual care
and attention several times daily.
In view of the aversion of the
Medical profession to anything that
has even the appearance of adver-
Using, it is perhaps due DR.. Crisler
to say that he knows nothing of this
article. The writer esteems him so
highly as a friend and knows him so
well in surgery, that he feels it a duty.
to pay this tribute to him.

WHAT cATARRH IS

Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form of snuffs and vapors only %irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs,
1t is helping thousands. Try it.
