ever arbitrary and powerful can long
delay the supplying of rev cotton to
Idle mills. The margin of profit is
now and will continue to be too great
to force mills. Wherever they are
located to remain idle English mills
fear the competition of European
mills and gladly aid in the suppress
sion Of the value of their money so
long as they are able to pay in manu-
factured goods here or wherever our
money is below par
I'VE believe we are on the verge OF
the greatest, Bull Market" ever ex-
perienced. Spot cotton is firmly
held. Spot cotton is not following the
decline in future.
Neither the fall in the value of the
pound sterling nor the action of the
federal reserve banks to refuse to loan
money on Libety bonds will stampede
the holders of cotton-we prefer to
hold what we have for a fair price
based on manufactured goods rather
than raise another crop under pres
ent disturbed conditions and with the
present labor situation.
THE cotton producer is determined
for once not to be smoaked out like
rat. If allowed a mans chance we
can realize what we think it is worth.
If we are denied al mans chance to
hold it and raise another crop we
will let the. 1920 Crop go hang and
hold. what we have in hand: s
This will be one, Of: the chief sub

Discussing her troubles, her efforts

gave her, Mrs. Allison says:
Il suffered with indigestion, Sleep

no appetite and was broken down gen

nervousness at times and l lacked
strength and energy. I had been this
way for twenty-five years and had
spent a. small fortune trying to find
permanent relief, but failed. l am get

a general tonic My friends had told
me so much about Tanlac and the
relief it gave them, SO I began taking
Tanlac myself Tanlac broke up my
INDIGESTION right away, just as 1 was
told it had done fo- others. My ner-
YES became steady and I began to
gain strength. After taking a bottle
or so of Tanlac T could sleep well. In
all. ! took four bottles Of Tanlac. I

In providing for loan of $100, 900
to match federal aid for road build
ing the county legislative delegation
took the only course open to them un-
less the county was to repudiate it's
present contract; with the federal
government. It was either borrow
this money and match the federal aid
or go to Uncle Sam and say Lexing-

Of the aid provided by congress for

WANNAMAKER TALKS
OF COTTON SITUATION.

Columbia, Feb. 16.-'"The recent at
/, tack on the cotton market represents
the dying efforts of the shorts to
prevent the expectation Of cotton by
the American Cotton Association to the
idle European mills, said J. Skottowe
Wannanlaker, president of the Amer
lean Cotton Association last night.
Mr.. Wananlaker says that the
American and English mills know
that the starting Of the European
mills will mean the restoration of
party between cotton and cotton
goods. 49,
Mr.. Wannanlaker's statement fol-
lows in full:
1.-The recent attack on the cotton
market represents the dying efforts
Of the Shorts" to prevent the export
ing Of cotton by the American Cotton
Association to the idle European mills.
The American and English mills
know the available supply Of cotton is
short and are determined to prevent
the now idle mills Of Europe getting
cotton. They know every bale shipped
to these mills dinainishes their possible
supply and further what is more t.
the point, they know that the start
ing Of European mills will be the be-
ginning of restoration on a parity be-
tween cotton and cotton goods. All this
talk about the exchange rates or val
ue Of the pound sterling is pure un-
adulterated nonsense, so far as Eng
lands shipping cotton is concerned.
England buys our cotton and either
ships the goods here to settle for the
cotton or else she ships her manufac-
tured goods to the silver countries
where our dollar is below par and
there buys our money or credit for CSC
and less on the dollar. The only
place the exchange situation hurts
row is in those countries who have
not yet begun to export manufac-
tured goods. The world needs manu-
factured goods fully as bad as Europe
needs raw cotton and no force how
