OIL MILLS CANNOT
GET COAL SUPPLY

Columbia, Aug. 21.-Oil Mills over
the state are still facing serious
coal shortage and the situation be-
comes graver at the approach of the
new season, according to we'll in
formed seed crushers. The precious
fuel is being quoted at high prices,
but this is not the main trouble with
the mills for they can't get the coal
at any price.
Of the twenty-four mills in South
Carolina very few are supplied Tor the
season and indications are that they
will not be able to run any length
of time on the amount in hand. The
South Carolina Cotton Seed Crush
ers Association has been working on
the problem for several months, but
so far has secured no relief.

representatives opposed to suffrage
who came here in order to break a

ton on ratification Of the 10Th

Places of Observation-Disclosures
Big K. of p. Convention
While Away.

Rev. L. j. Bristow returned Fri
day night from Minneapolis, where
he had been delegate in at
tendance upon the supreme lodge
Knights of Pythias in annual ses-
sion in that city. Mr.. ,Bristow tells
of a most interesting and enjoyable
trip but returned some ten days
ahead of his contemplated stay,
having intended a trip to Yellow
stone Park and other points in the
west. He gives as reason for his
early return that he was homesick
for the old town and his many
friends here. Mrs. Bristow, who had
been spending some time at Hen
dersonville, preceded him home sew
eral days, she having grown home
sick also. Miss Gwen, who has been
with her mother at Hendersonville,
remained for stay Of few days
longer at this popular summering
place in the old North State.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. and
Mrs. Bristow's many friends and
parishioners are glad to have them
home again and to know they have
enjoyed their brief vacation.

COTTON MARKET BREAKS
AFTER OPENING AT RISE
Decline Caused 1t Is Said Because
Of Increased Offerings Of Spots
And Futures And Increased
Demand

The New York Cotton market to-
day, after opening about thirty
points up from Saturdays close,
broke sharply during the day clos
ing nearly a cent and a half below
the closing figures of Saturday. The
cause of he decline is stated to be
the increased offerings of spots and
futures, with an absence of urgent
trade demand. The unfavorable
financial situation at home and
abroad also contributes to the de-
cline, as the larger crop ideas and
uneasiness over the European poll
tical and labor situation, there be-
ing a threat of a coal strike in Eng
land.
The Liverpool market is stated to
have closed today in almost state
of decentralization.
Money is reported tight all over
the South, especially in Texas where
the farmers are being offered only
$4,000 to $500 per ton for cotton
seed as against $4,000 to $4,000
last season. AS result the cotton
seed are not being sold but the far
mers in Texas in order to raise
ready cash are selling their cotton,
greatly increasing receipts over
last year. The County of Neuces is
reported to have marketed already
$4,000 bales this far as against 21,,
900 for the entire season next
year.
The cotton letter of H. & B, Beer
issued today advises farmers that
there is nothing to do to combat the
present tendency of the market ex-
cept to refuse to sell at present
figures. This course, it is suggested,
shoull be adopted in every cotton
raising section of the South, or dis
aster will be the results.

MAJORITY SHALL NOT BE
NULLIFIED.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 22.-From
the snarl of legal and legislative
technicalities that have enmeshed
Tennessee's ratification of the fed

came the prediction of the Tennes-

junction against certification Of the
would prevent enfranchisement of
the women of the nation for at least
a year and a half. : -.
The Constitutional league, which
has been fighting ratification in
Tennessee. on the ground that the
state constitution prohibited the
present legislature from acting on
the suffrage amendment and which
claims to include both suffrage op-
ponents and advocates in it's mem
bership, made it's prediction in a
message addressed to the governors
of Vermont, Connecticut, Florida,
Alabama, Louisiana, Delaware, and
South Carolina. The leagues mes
sage declared that Tennessee had
mot ratified suffrage and served
notice that any state official who at
tempted certification would be at
tackled for contempt of court under
the injunction which the league an
nounced would if necessary, be
carried to the supreme court Of the.
United States. ,'...:..,s, :.

ADVICE ON FLU
IS WORTH SAVING

When Flu makes its appearance in
your locality, do as the Scotch folk
do-be prepared.
Order from your druggist a small,
inexpensive bottle OF Haelanol, an
antiseptic liquid that can be sprinxled
on handkerchief, and when breathed
deep into the lungs, turns into pene-
trating, antfseptic air that destroys
all harmful germs as 1t passes over
the membrane of the nose, throat and
bronchial tubes.
This 10 a Scotch physicians pre-
scription that is gaining much favor
in this country because it is such a
thoroughly good destroyer Of pernici-
Gus germs.
When you have a heavy cold or
chronic catarrh, sprinkle a few drops
en- your pillow when you go to bed
and you'll find that It cleans out the
stuffed up nasal passage while you
sleep, and in a short time mikes an
end to catarrh.
It's really an important discovery
and worth trial, and little pamph-
let that goes with it, gives you a lot
of good advice.
FRS. aid in Group and the heavy
breathing OF children, 1t has also
proven very successful says the Fair
