THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 28,'1924 HOLD OOi ACREAGE FARMERS ARE TOLD U«e Tested Seed, Fertilizer And Calcium Arsenate Is Advice Now Given ATLANTA, February 28. — Farmers in the cotton belt, where weather conditions petmit, are no v preparing their seed beds, reports received here state. Very shortly the planting season will be here. There are at least four outstand ing features associated with the preparations for this year’s cotton production that should be stressed, in the opinion of Clark Howell, edi tor of the Atlanta Constitution, which he gives herewith One is the all-important necessi ty for a restricted, or certainly not an enlarged acreage. If the .farm ers plow up the whole face of the earth for cotton, or if they, indiv idually, increase acreage on the as sumption that the will offset the increase by acreage restric tions, the final results will be a col lapse in the production, and millions of dollar will be lost in time and labor*. Another is the necessity for the use only of pedigreed or tested seed, and the liberal use of the fer tilization, these conditions being based upon an ntensve program that will not admit of more than 10 acres to the plow, preferably five or six. Another is a strict adherence to the rules of reason, so many times emphasized by his newspaper, Mr. Howell says, as to how to grow cotton successfully under boll wee vil conditions. Another, and of paramount im portance, is the advance prepara tion that should be made for the use of calcium arsenate, at the proper times during the growing season, in order to control weevil infestitation.

This is the way she cut her 168 pounds down to 128: “I began with my diet,” she ex plains. “I am| one of these healthy creatures with the healthy woman’s appetite.

SICKLY, PEEVISH CHILDREN Children suffering from intestinal worms are cross, restless and unhealthy. There are other symptoms, however. If the child is pale, has dark rings under the eyes, baa breath and takes no interest in play, it is almost a certainty that worms are” eating away its vitality. The surest remedy for worms is White’s Cream Vermi fuge. It is positive destruction to the worms but harmless to the child. Price 35c. Sold by Carswell Drug Co. Americus Drug Co. DR.

We failed to note last week that a special service was held at the residence of Mr. John Holley at Concord on the third Sunday aft ernoon for the benefit of Mrs. Mary Youngblood who is a shut-in there. The service was well at tended and seemed to be greatly appreciated. Mr. S. L. Webb and two daugh ters and Mrs. L. P.

It is undoubtedly nature’s most per fect remedy,” is the far reaching statement given out for publication, recently by Mrs. I. A. Borden, Se attle, Wash., a graduate of the Na tional Temperance Hospital, of Chi cago. “1 have used TANLAC often in treatment of my patients and my experience has been that for keep ing the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels functioning properly, and for toning up the. system in gen eral, it has no equal. TO THE VOTERS OF SUMTER COUNTY . I Taxation is an issue in this campaign that can’t be gotten arround. High taxation drove a big industry from Sumter County a few years ago. Dr. E. T. Mathis has a record on the question of taxes ' hat I am going to discuss a little more. How many people have ever heard of R. B. Hatten and the Republic Mining & Mfg. Co.? Well, during 1918 when Dr. Mathis was a member of the Board of Tax Equalizers, Hatten owned 600 acres of land near Andersonville that was then returned for taxation at a valua tion of $7,800. What did Dr. Mathis and his board do with this return? They raised the valuation of the property to one hundred thousand dollars, or to be exact, they forced Hatten and the Republic Mining & Mfg. Co. to pay taxes on the huge sum of one hundred thousand dollars for owning 600 acres Why this huge raise in valuation? The land contains a deposit of bauxite ore, and the Republic Mining & Mfg. Co. was then engaged in getting out the product, shipping the crude ore away and having it manufactured into aluminum and other products. They had planned, I am informed, to erect a huge factory in this county for the reduction of the ore and its manufacture, but were literally frightened away by the heavy taxation forced upon them. What is this property returned for taxation at now? Well, the owner only pays ona valuation of K 1,500, according to the 1923 digest. This mine isn’t being worked; it isn t paying dividends any more is given as a reason for the reduction. I wonder how many farmers in the county managed to get the taxable value of their farms redfuced around seven hundred percent because they failed to make any dividends last year? Or any year while Dr. Mathis was a mem ber of the Board of Tax Equalizers? Not many. . That isn’t all about Hatten and the Republic Mining & Manufacturing Co. High tax valua tion placed on their property by Dr. Mathis and his board probably caused a big pay-roll to be lost to the community. All plans for building a factory here have been abandoned by the owners of the bauxite concern. Voters, do you want to put Dr. Mathis back into the Courthouse where he will be there ev ery day (you did note vote for him to be a tax equalizer) while the tax equalizers hold their session during the next four years, where he can easily advise them to increase your tax burden? Or would you prefer to have there a man whose record shows he is opposed to high tax ation? ■ You all know my record upon this important issue. My ideas haven’t changed, and they won’t change if you send me into the Courthouse. You’ll always have a friend of just and equal taxes as long as you keep me there, and I’ll serve you free every time you want to contest an un justified increase in the valuation of your prop erty. Dr. Mathis hasn’t replied to my recent card, but hundreds have taken occasion to endorse my stand on taxation as an issue in this campaign. The tax payers appear to be with me in this fight. Respectfully, W. T. M’MATH, Candidate for Ordinary of Sumter County. PAGE SEVEN tells of Case “About a year I had a lady pa tient who could not keep a thing on her stomach fifteen minutes, not even water. 1 prevailed on her to try TANLAC and after the sixth bottle she could cat absolute ly anything she wanted without the slightest bad after effects. “1 had another patient who simply could not eat, I got him started on TANLAC and by the time he finished thre e bottler he was eating ravenously and had re gained sufficient strength to re turn to work. “These two instances are typi cal of my experience with TAN LAC, my confidence in TANLAC is unlimited.
