Our farmers are busy preparing
their lands for another cotton crop,
and some are planting. As usual,
they will plant about ten times more
seed to the acre than is necessary.
Rolling the seed in wet ashes and
dropping them by hand will not only
effect a great saving, but result in a
healthier and better stand, and save
much labor in chopping. A successful
farmer told the writer once that he
used only ten bushels of seed to thirty
acres, and never made a better crop.
As seed are worth 30c. a bushel the ex
periment is worth a trial.

Consider This
a Personal Call
WE WISH there were more of us so we could personally see every man in this locality, between now
and good driving time, in the interest of our Vehicle and Harness Department. As that is impossible, will
you now consider this card a call and return it—the call, not the card? We want to show you over our busi
ness home, exhibit our vehicles, point out their points of superiority, and quote you prices. Our repre
sentative spent much time this winter visiting the factories of the leading builders, selecting our stock af
ter a most thorough comparison of the different work. Two weeks were devoted in the factories gaining
valuable information one can never secure listning to drummers or looking at pictures in catalogues. We
saw the different hard woods in the seasoning yards just as it came from the saw-mill, followed froin de
partment to department, where the most skilled of mechanics assisted in constructing the best vehicles
possible. A large per cent of the factories were running on half time, and were very hungry for orders.
We took every advantage, driving close bargains on large orders and cash payments. You benefit to your
lasting satisfaction. If preparation is nine-tenths of the battle, it looks like a victory for us on vehicles
this year.
Our people have never seen such smart rigs and so many styles as we are showing Surreys, Top
Buggies, Runabouts, Autos, Stanhopes, Speeders. When you see what we have, the other tenth will be
ours. We are early with our announcement, but that is because the news is too good to keep. So are the
vehicles. Don’t wait too long, for a look to-day is better than a disappointment to-morrow, and the
choicest will go quick.
As an introduction we will sell one only in each locality our high grade top buggies, fully guaranteed,
and sells regularly and readily for $75.00. Our advertising price is $49.50 spot cash. In addition to this
liberal offer we propose to give a beautiful $100 buggy to some lucky customer.

A good many of our neighbors are
through planting upland corn. No cot-
—Some of the best farmers of Mc
Duffie county testify that a small patch
of amber cane properly planted and
fertilized will produce as much horse
feed as five acres of corn. Is it true?
If so we farmers had better get busy
planting amber cane seed. Already it
; has taken nearly all our money to buy
feed for our mules, and if it is to contin-
| ue until crops are laid by we will have
none tor camp-meeting. The enormous
expense of feeding stock to make this
I year’s crop has never been fully realiz-
ton has been planted yet. Some ground
is yet untouched with the plow.
