school children, pointing out defects
which may be- remedied and prevent
serious trouble later on in life.

II. s. largely due to ignorance or in
difference Of those responsible for
them. The Red Cross is spreading the
gospel Of better health throughou'
the land through it's courses in Home
Hygiene, first aid and personal work
of public health nurses.
Home Service looks after discharg'
ed soldiers, sailors and their families

"see these men through" and make
better future citizens Of the children
of today.

ABRAHAM LIN
COINS PARENTAGE
Prof. H. T. Cook of Greenville Brings
New Evidence to Light.

Greenville, Nov. 5. The mooted
question as to the parentage OF Abra-
ham Lincoln, which has been revived
editotially by southern newspapers
this week brought new answer
hitherto unpublished, from the pen
of H. T. Cook, professor emeritus at
Furman University, who states that
Lincoln's own version that he was IL
legitimate ought to have some weight.
Prof. Cook in a communication to the
Greenville Piedmont, said: In pass
ing final judgment on the parentage
of Abraham Lincoln, referred to In
The Piedmont, his own version that
he was illegitimate ought to have
some weight. His law partner, Hern
don, wrote life Of Lincoln in which
he stated on the authority of Lincoln
himself that he was Of illegitimate
birth. For some reason, the first edi-
ton was suppressed, 1t is said, and
even the few copies sold were ferret
ed out and recovered, and another
edition with the statement about his
birth suppressed was offered to the
public. One copy of the first edition
is now kept in bank safe in the Pee
Dee section and I have seen with my
own eyes the expunged statement.
Now unless the veracity Of his law
partner is impeached or this story
shown to be another myth, 1t will
continue to be appropriate that the
two men, Hamilton and Lincoln, the
most admired of all for their genius
in inspiring Americans with an IL
legimitate and unconstitutional love
of self and imperial power, should
themselves be classed as illegitimates,
born out of lawful wedlock.

ADJUSTMENT OF PRICES.
A mere readjustment Of pr

A mere readjustment Of prices
doesn't mean that the people actual
needs are any less. 1t only means that
we have got to think faster, study
our buying closely, offer better val
ues and adjust ourselves to the
changing condition. Quick turn-overs
based on aggressive merchandising
of our timely bargains is the solu-
tion of the problem. There isn't any
reason for half-hearted thoughts.
With but six percent of the worlds
and seven percent of the
worlds land, we produce 60 percent
of the worlds supply of cotton, there
fore there should not be any alarm,
but to do your trading where your
money will go the furthest. The Ell
fenbein Co., will help you through
their Great Cost Sale.-11 IL 1t.

SUFFRAGE LEFT
TO TWO STATES
Delaware and Washington
Now Hope of Leaders.

WASHINGTON. March Regardless
Of litigation iu Ohio. woman suffrage VIII
be fact II the legislatures Of Delaware
aud Washington ratify the Anthony
amendment March -. according TO Miss
Alice Paul, chairman Of the national
women's party.
THE attorney general has told us that
our work Is complete when thirty six
states have ratified says Miss Paul
I'VE need but two more. Washington
and Delaware are both IN favor of suf
frage and we have little doubt OF their
ratification"
The Anthony amendment may be pre-
sontcd for popular vote by referendum.
The United States supreme court has the
decision ON the matter.
'Of course, said Miss Paul. we win
expect Secretary Colby To issue a procla-
nation declaring the suffrage amendment
fully ratified If Delaware and Washing
ton give us the total OF thitty-six neces-
sary states.
IF the supreme court. which will hear
the Ohio case In April. should decide
Ohio voters had to pass on the question
before ratification, the secretary Of state
could not Issue the proclamation"
For this reason sufrrag ists probably
will continue their fight In other states.
