Bigger Yields
A given number of acres fertilized with Farmers’ Bone produce a
greater yield of cotton, than the same acreage with ordinary fertilizer.
Farmers’ Bone does more than that. It makes it possible to reduce
the acreage and increase the yield. Try it this year. The man
who uses

has twenty-one years of fertilizer experience back of him. Over
13,000 carloads of Royster fertilizers were used on the crops of 1905. ,

To the Citizens of Harlem.
Below is given a correct copy of a
petition circulated in Harlem which
certainly demonstrates tiie opinion
of quite a large majority of represent
ative citizens in regard to Imving an
artesian well in our town:
PETITION.
We the undersigned me in favor of
Imving an artesian well in Harlem,
and do hereby affix our names to the
foregoing petition as supporters of
such an enterprise,' promising hi
aJiide by any consistent, action that
U,ay Im necessarptto accomplish tliis
ebd, tiie same to be taken up by our
town council at a special meeting if
possible, or to be raised by publie

Jones, J. L. Smith, E. A. Pender¬
grass, J. W. Ellington, W. N. Kacli

S. S. Hackney; W. ie Phillips, ,E. L.
Sandlin, R. J, Walton, E. C. Lanier,
J. M. Atkinson, C. D. Bailey.
There is no doubt, but tiie few that
it was impossible to see at the time
the petition was circulated, would
have taken pleasure in affixing their
names also. Mr. Ellington, who is
very closely allied with tiie citizens
of Thomson, Ga., remarked when lie
wrote his name, that he knew that
tiie artesian well in that thriving lit¬
tle city, had certainly improved the
health of the people, and X now un¬
derstand authoritively tlmt the town
is so well pleased that they are to be
gin at an early date to drill another,
and institute a regular system of
water works through the town to be
supplied exclusively ’ by artesian
water. •
There are quite a number of eiti
zens that want to know just how a
thing of this kind is to he maintain
«>d, saying that it would coat forty m
sixty dollars per month to keep «
tiling of tins kind going, well
pose it does, wo are not looking for a
volttntary stream of crystal water to
shoot out from the bowels of the
earth, With silver cup attachments,
free of cOsi, suppose our taxi's were
just double what t hey are ' now, I lie |
average town tax is not over $4.00, |
suppose it was $5.00, even more, say |
$10.00, where is (lie mail that would
not be willing lo pay that amount
per year for the inaintainaiice of a
well of pure crystal artesian water.
Why tiie people of Waynesboro, Ga.
are taxed $2.00 per month, $24.00 pef
year. The average man tliinks of a
proposition of this kind, like they
looked upon the advent of the tele*
phone, what would we now do with¬
out It? I venture to say that after a
few drinks of artesian water, as oom
pared to what we now have to swal¬
low, that were we to say, that, we in¬
tended doing away with it, that our
town would lie deserted before we
would go hack to the old well again.
I am not asking you to take my word
tor what 1 have to say in regard to
the merits of artesian water, I ask
that you make inquiry of our worthy
townsman, M. II. McKlinufray, who
