Plain Talks on Fertilizers
<A Talk to Fruit-Growers
You use a fertilizer
of course, but do you
use enough ?
The yield per acre,
and the profit therefrom
increases in far greater
proport ion than the cost
1 1 * ■ujtJrmnl fertilizer.
nropor «■»****» «» v
of additional fertilizer.
What is an increase in
cost of *2.00 to *10.00
per acre for fertilizer
when the returns therefrom
show an increase of *50.00 to
£250.00 per acre?
The big Magnolia Fruit
Farms at Durant, Miss., tested
the well-known Virginia-Car-
olina Fertilizer
in different
quantities' on
their straw
berry crop.
Result: when
1,000 lbs. per
acre were used
the profit was
$75.00 more per
acre than when
600 lbs. per
acre were used.
This is modem intensive cul
ture, the method that is doub
ling and trebling the crops of
all kinds of fniit in
either good or in poor
and wom-out land all
over the country-and
in good soil, too.'
he vielc
according to the
amount of plant food
you give your trees or
plants — you can de
pend on it. The better
they are fed the greater
ana more valuable will
be your crop. Fertil
ize sparingly and you
reap sparingly.
The fact that over a million
tons of Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizer were sold last year
proves them to be without
equal. Every fruit farmer,
no matter what method he
now uses, should get the Vir
ginia - Carolina
Company’s
new Year Book
or Almanac.
It is free to all
who are inter-
ested enough
to write for it.

ture, which 1b due in Amertcus March
J. Mr. S. T. Carter of the Amertcus
111 Company will Join the party re-
natnlng until Greenevllle 1b reached.
Mr. Carter will go as a representative
of the Cotton Seed Oil Crushers As
sociation, which will have a man with
the train through the trip. It will be
the duty of Mr. Carter to explain the
value of cotton seed to the farmer.
This will be done by explaining how
he cotton seed which It ts proposed
o use as fertilizer can be exchanged
it the cotton seed oil mills for meal
vith an equal amount of fertilizer
•alue, ton for ton, and In nearly dou-
>le the quantity. Exhibits will be
made of the oil and meal and the
farmers told how large a value they
can get from the cotton seed by judl-
lous use.
It Is expected that Pres. Collum, of
the third district Agricultural Col
lege, will be with the train while it
Is In this district. He will make short
talks stressing the value of special
training for the farmers’ boys.
Reports from points where the Edu
cational train has already been Indi
cate much Interest among the farm
ers. It is expected that a large dele
gation will greet the train here next
month.
MONEY IS COMING NEXT
WEEK fOR VETERANS
Sumter's Confederate veterans and
widows of veterans will be paid their
pensions-next week.
Checks for the payment of pensions
to the Confederate veterans of Geor
gia for the first quarter of 1908. ag
gregating $228,761, were forwarded
yesterday to ' the -ordinaries of the
various counties by Pension Commis
sioner J. W. IJndsay.
Checks for the lump Bum duo In
each couhty will be sent to the or
dinaries who will make a deposit In
his bank and Issue Individual check
to each pensioner.
Under the new arrangement the
ordinary receives $1 for each pension
handled during the year, but payment
of this fee Is made from the county
treasury and does not come from the
pensioner as hertofore.
As a result of the fact that pen
sioners have heretofore had to pay
this fee, many ordinaries have never
collected It.

Mr. Henry S. McClesky has leased
the Hotel Cherokee, the principal ho
tel In Rome, Ga., and will assume

“Health Coffee” Is really the closest

a grain of real Coffee in It either.
Health Coffee la made from pure toas
ted cereals, with malt, nuts, etc.
Really It would fool an expert—who
might drink It for Coffe. No twenty
or thirty minutes boiling. “Made 1n a
minute” says the doctor.

THREE MAY ENTER THE
RACE IN SCHLEY
In Amerlcus, as in the two other
counties. Macon and Schley, compos
ing the Thirteenth district, Interestis
manifested in the senatorial race. Un
der the rotation system each county
names a senator alternately, and it Is
now Schley's time to put forward the
man of her choice. Among those who
will likely offer for the senate are:
Colonel C. R. McCrory, Hon. W. D.
Murray and Horn. T. F. Rainey; and
the probable candidates for the house
are: Hon. M. iE. Collum, the present
representative, and J. T. RoyaL
Grippe is sweeping the country.
Stop It with Preventlcs, before H gets
deeply seated. To check early colds
with these little Candy Cold Cure
Tablets is surely sensible and safe.
Preventlcs contain no Quinine, no
laxative, nothing harsh or sickening.
Pneumonia would never appear If ear
ly colds were promptly broken. Also
good for feverish children. Large box,
48 tablets, 25 cents. Vest pocket box
es 25 cents. Sold by Davenport Drug
Co.
MR. SHEPPARD IN RAGE
FOR SEAT IN HOUSE
Cbl. J. E. Sheppard announces this
morning hiB candidacy for one of
Sumter’s seats In the House, and
that his hundreds of friends will
enthusiastically support him for this
honor goes without saying. Col.
Sheppard is one of the foremost
members of the Amerlcus bar and
well equipped for the duties he
would assume. For. some time bis
friends have urged him to offer for
legislative honors, and his formal an
nouncement will be a subject of gen
eral and sincere congratulation.
Should he be thus honored, no other
county would have an abler, brainier
representative than would Sumter in
Hon. J. E. Sheppard.
The news that Harry Thaw volun
tarily shoveled snow for a couple of
hours the other day will do much to
convince some folks ho Is really in-
