South Carolina tobacco prices and urged reforms
State figures show 1919 tobacco output rose to 80 million pounds, 20 million more than 1918, yet returns fell by about 800,000 dollars due to low prices for cheaper grades. B Harris urges legislature to offer prizes to boost quality, urging farmers to plant tobacco as a cotton substitute, especially in Pee Dee, and seeks price-support ideas to improve yields and value.

Habitual Constipation Cure Claim for Regulated Relief
An advertorial blurb claims a remedy can cure habitual constipation in 14 to 21 days. It promotes a bottle by asserting it induces regular bowel movements and regulates the system without detailing ingredients or clinical proof. The terse copy resembles a drug ad from a vintage paper.
Supreme Court bars 2.75 beer for war time ban
New York reports the high court ruled 2.75 beer cannot be manufactured and sold under the war time prohibition act. Brewers call it a setback, not defeat, and vows persist to challenge the eighteenth amendment’s scope. Attorneys Buckner and Dowland say the decision mainly concerns wartime laws, not the legality of 2.75 beer under the amendment. William Anderson, beer league leader, notes the fight moves to enforcement against nullification and politicians.
