POSSIBLY one of the most far reach

the state, respondent VS.. G. w.
Wagstaff and A. c. Hargrove, appel
lants, in which the lower court is af-
firmed. This case gerw out of the
question whether or not state con-
stables or any police officers have the
right to search grips or other pcrson-
al property of a citizen for whiskev
without Il search warrant.
From accounts obtainable it seems
that Fl. M. Graham, respectable
citizen, left a railway train at Flor
ence carrying a suitcase in his hand
Tic was accosted by G.. w. Wagstaff

stables, who, it is presumed, thought
Graham was carrying whiskey. The

not directed against Orange Crush,
which derives al Its flavor from the
OIL, juice and acid of actual oranges.
yet the editorial preface mistakenly
included the drink by name in the fol-
lowing language:

which at present they find themseI
YES IN, the governor was complying
with request made by the South
Carolina Division of the American
Cotton Association. Similar action
has been taken by the governors of
the other cotton growing states Of
the nation
The proclamation issued by the
Governor follows:
The South Carolina division of the
American Cotton Association has re-
questcd that / designate the first
Monday in January as "cotton acreage
reduction day" in South Carolina. I
gladly comply with this request. For
the time being, the markets of the
world are not absorbing raw cotton,
and one cannot tell how long it will be
before the staple will again bring a
profitable price to the grower. It ia
certain that large supply of cotton
Will be carrie over from the present
crop if, in 1921 there is added to this
carry over another large yield, the
price will again be distressngly low.
1t IS, therefore, as matter of econ
omic self-preservation, incumbent up
on the cotton States to take Intelligent
cognizance of the situation with re-
| terence to raw cotton and see to it
that the market does not remain glut-
ted throughout another season. -
Our escape from the unhappy pre-
dlcament in which we now find our
selves lies in the production of greater
quantities Of food and feed crops.
Mere reduction Of cotton acreage, by
itself, is not thorough solution-it
/ is but half of the process necessary to
liberate us from the one-crop bondage.
"ln the light of the situation as
suggested above, I proclaim the first
Monday in January, 1921 as cotton
acreage rcuction day for this State,
and | urge that upon that day all
South Carolinians devote their best
thought to the situation and resolve
to meet it, and to prevent replica
OF it, by united intelligent action.
Wherefore | have hereunto set by
hand and seal, this fourteenth day of
December, in the year Of our Lord one
thousand, nine hundred twenty.

that it is "incumbcnt upon the cotton

FARMERS OF CLARENDON
CAN RAISE BIG HOG CROP

1t is an easy matter to tell the
Southern planter that right now he
is tn" victim of the one crop system
which rules in ninety-fivc percent of
the communities south of the Ohio
river. What he needs now is to be
shown the way out and eascd over the
present crisis. Don't get pessimistic
for we have weathcrcd worse storms
than we have on now, and did it with
out the Federal Bank, the greatest
safety valve our country has ever
Known. But the planters of the south
must plant less acres to cotton for at
least time and put more in grains
and grasses and have something to
sell besides cotton. The south has not
only grown the cotton the northern
man wears, but he has bought a good
ly portion Of the pork of the hog belt
farmers raising. 1t is time he raised
his own, at least, and had some to sell
besides. There is no farm animal that
brings returns so quickly as the hog
or Is there a live stock business into
which the planter can enter so cheap-
ly as into the growing of pork. Two
crops per year and always a market.

WHY BOILS COME BACK
The Cause is in the System, Not on the
Surface. A Good Stimulant
Helps the Blood.

Boils, Ulcers, infected skin and mus
Gle swellings are all akin. Drive away
the boil and it comes again in another
place. Dry up the ulcers and heal the
infected places and they promptly re-
turn. Reduce the swelling and it will
re-appear. The trouble is in the blood,
implanted in the system.
External treatments are only tenn
porarily successful. Nothing short of
good tonic will suffice.

(NNE HOUR " Is Ancient History in the Oil Business

Being an hour late has cost men for tune in the oil business. During the Burk- burnett boom, two men were trying to get a certain lease. They learned that the owner was in a town sixty miles away. One of the men started in high-powered auto mobile in mad race to reach the lease owner first; the other gave up in despair until he learned that an airplane had just arrived in town and for $75 would carry him to the town that his competitor was racing for. He offered the aviator S1,000 to get him to the lease holder ahead of his opponent, and springing into the plane, they won the race. The hour he gained netted him $60, ,000.
