S nix/ time since the Times
Recorder urged upon the farmers
of Sumtei the a disability of plant
ing long staple cotton, which not
only yields more per acre but sells
at a far better price than short
saplecotton. It is gratifying to
note that more of this long staple
cotton will be planted here this
year than ever before, and through
that means a greater net return
may be expected for the labor and
cost entailed.
The aiui of the South should be
to produce the world’s chief
supply cheaper than any other
sections of the world and still make
good p ofits. This is easily possi
ble. Education, thrift, industry
and intelligent co operation can
bring about just the conditions
which shall eventually establish
our supremacy for all time.
Therefore, while omitting no
efforts to safeguard the prosperity
of the Southern cotton planter and
protect him from the wolves of
speculation it must i ot be forgotten
that it is necessary to improve
methods, increase acre production
through iuteDsive cultivation and
bring about finally those conditions
which will enable him to undersell
the world.
It must be remem 1 ered that the
more we cheapen the cost of pro
duction the greater will be the
world’s demand, and the greater
the demand the more stable will
the Southern cotton ii dustry be
come.
how salaries have * dvanced
Apropos of the latest advance in
congressional salaries, it is of in
terest to note that they were
originally fixed at $6 per diem.
Nearly a century ago a salary of
$1,500 was substituted, but popular
sentiment revolted at the change
and a per diem of $8 was allowed.
That stood unchanged until 1855,
when a $3,000 salary was substi
tuted, which was increased to $5,-
000 ten years later. The sub
sequent effort to raise it to $7,500
succeeded, only to be promptly
repealed on account of the retroac
tive feature of the proposition.
Probably it has come to stay this
time.

yrn niIDV DOES not cure
mUlLUlil BLOOD POISON
While Mercury and Potash may mask the disease in the system and
Cover up the outward Symptoms for awhile, they cannot cure Contagious
Blood Poison; when the treatment is left off, the disease will return worse
than before. Mercury and Potash eat out the delicate lining of the
stomach and bowels, produce chronic dyspepsia, cause the teeth to decay,
make spongy, tender gums, affect the bones and nerves, anil often causes
Mercurial Rheumatism, the most hopeless form of this disease. Thousands
have taken the mineral treatment faithfully for years to find, when it was
left off, that the disease had only been smouldering in the system, and the
old symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, falling hair, copper-coloreil
spots, swollen glands, .sores and ulcers, etc., would return in all their
hideousness, and they were r.o nearer a cur j
than when they first commenced the treat
ment. S. S. S. is the only certain, safe
and reliable treatment for Contagious*

Joes not cover up anything, but so completely removes the poison
that no trace of it is ever seen again. This medicine will also remove

TUMORS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound Succeeds.
One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman’s
dread enemy Tumor,
The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsuspected until it is well
advanced,
So called “wandering pains” may
come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may he made
manifest by excessive monthly periods
accompanied hv unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If yon have mysterious pains, if
there are indications of inflammation
or displacements, secure a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin its use.
The following letters should con
vince every suffering woman of its
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.
Mrs. May Fry, of 836 W. Colfax
Ave , South Bend, Ind., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
“I take great pleasure in writ
ing to thank you for what Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has
done for me. I also took the Blood
Purifier in alternate doses with the
Compound. Your medicine removed a
cyst tumor of four years’ growth,
which three of the best physicians
declared I had. They had said that
only an operation could help me. I am
very thankful that I followed a friend's
advice and took your medicine. It has
made me a strong and well woman and
I shall recommend it as long as 1 live.”
Mrs. E. F. Hayes, of 26 RugglesSt.,
Boston, Mass., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham: —
‘ ‘I have been under different doctors’
treatment for a long time without
relief. They told me I had a fibroid
tumor, my abdomen was swollen and
I suffered with great pain. I wrote
to you for advice, you replied and I
followed your directions carefully and
today lam a well women. Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ex
pelled the tumor and strengthened my
whole system.”
Mrs. Perry Byers, of Mt. Pleasant,
lowa, writes :
Say Plainly to Your Grocer
That you want LION COFFEE always, and he,
being a square man, will not try to sell you any
thing else. You may not care for our opinion, but
What About the United Judgment of Millions
of housekeepers who have used LION COFFEE
for over a quarter of a century ?
Is there any stronger proof of merit, than the
Contidence of the People
and ever increasing popularity 7

Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
“I was told by my physician that I
had a fibroid tumor and that I would
have to be operated upon, I wrote to
you for advice, which I followed care
fnlly and took Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound. lam not only
cured of the tumor hut other female
troubles and can do all my own work
after eigh years of suffering.”
Mrs. S. J. Barber, of Scott, N. Y.
writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“Sometime ago I wrote you for
advice about a tumor which the doctors
thought would have to be removed.
Instead I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound and to-day am a
well woman.”
Mrs. M. M. Funk, Vandergrift, Pa.,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— ■
“I had a tumor and Lydia E, Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound removed
it for me after two doctors had given
me up. I was sick four years before I
began to take the Compound. I now
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veget
able Compound far and near.”
Such testimony as above is con
vincing evidence that Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for Tumor
Growths as well as other distressing
ills of women, and such symptoms as
Bearing-down Sensations, Displace
ments, Irregularities and Backache,
etc. Women should remember that it
is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound that is curing so many women
Don't forget to insist upon it when
some druggist asks you to accept
something else which he calls “just
as good.”
Mrs. Pinkham’s Invitation to Women.
Women suffering from any form
of female weakness are invited to
write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass.,
for advice. She is the Mrs. Pinkham
who has been advising sick women
free of charge for more than twenty
years, and before that she assisted
her mother-in-law, Lydia E. Pink
ham in advising. Thus she is especially
well qualified to guide sick women
back to health.
