EDITORIAL NOTES.
Said ngood farmer to the Edi
tor of the Progress: ’’You have
discussed pretty well the crops we
should plant, now let us hear from
' you on cow peas-”
We promised to do so, but we
really have’nt the heart.
o o o
When cottoi is selling at ten
cents or more it is useless to talk
of planting any thing else, for it *
had ac well be understood onecj
and for all that all tho cotton will J
1»e planted that can be got Uni
into the ground, and a talk of j
planting peas r. ill bring a horse I
laugh. I
o o o |
It is true that within tho last
two years this country lias been
on the verge of ruin when cotton
brought ton cents or more; it is
true that the high price of col ton
cuus'hI the reduction of other crops
until tlie South’s consumption of |
foreign hay this year will bo the (
greatest in history and the crop
made more expensive , it is true
that peas furnish both hay and
fertilizer which are purchased by
the farmers of tho South in large
quantities; all nl those things are
again.

ROAD NOTICE
T<) VV110M 1T M A Y CONCERN:
iTOE Commutation Road T a x for 1909 will be $250, which
may he paid for $2.00:—$1.00 by the 10th of May and $1.00
j by the tenth of October.
; It" tlie first is not paid to the Ordinary by the 10th of May,
! collectors will he sent out after that date and it will cost
$1.25. The county only wants $2.00. The man who waits
for the collector to hunt him up at big expense to the
comity, must pay the cost. There is no justice nor equity
in putting that man on equal footing with him who comes
j to the office and pays his Road Tax as he does his State and
; County Tax, I le who fails to pay his State and County Tax
; by the 20th of December each year has an execution issued
against him, which cost an additional $1.00, which is paid to
the officers who do the work, to wit: The Tax Collector
! and Sheriff. This twenty-rive cents on those who do not pay
j by the 10th of May and October, respectfully, will also go to
I the officers who collect it. I write this notice so far ahead
1 of time in order to serve the convenience of those intending
: to pay their Road Tax instead of work-in it out. Those
| expecting to pay can do so any time betw een now and the

Shoes For Spring.
You must have Shots. Then why not have the best value
for the money? In the selection of our lines we have been
particular to look after the interest of our customers, for the
simple reason that a satisfied customer is the best advertise
ment. A lady who once wears Queen Quality shoes will
wear no others. YVe found this out before .we handled the
“Queen Quality,’ ’and experience since has confirmed this
opinion. There are more l ubes wearing Queen Quality
shoes to-day than ever before. The reason: A customer
once made is a customes forever.
Shoes for Men.
Men must wear shoes even though the weather is warm.
There are shoes that sell at higher prices than the Crossett
shoe for men, but there are no better shoes. When it comes
to value there are none higher than the Crossett, while the
price is moderate. The fact that the Crossett is the most
popular shoe for men sold in McDuffie County, is evidenced-
by the fact that their sale increases with each season. W hen
merit counts, the Crossett is A No. 1. Sold in Thomson by
THE T. A. SCOTT CO.
Ladies Dress Goods
Recently we extended an invitation to the ladies of the
community to call and examine out hew spring goods.
Several hundred of them accepted the im itation, and we are
led to believe that they were well pleased by the fact that
there has since been a constant demand for these goods. In
some instances the demand has been so great that we have
been compelled to utilize the Express Company to replenish.
We are willing to compare them with anything in Augusta
as to style, quality and price.
If you have not done so. we will ho glad for you to call
and make a critical examination of our stock. We believe
that we can please you as we have pleased others. THE

Clothing for Spring
And Summer
It you see a man well dressed, hut at a moderate cost, the
decided propabihty is that he is wearing a suit of STROUSE
N BROTHERS CLOTHING. If he is not the decided
probability is that he has paid too much for his suit. (ffie
of those “just as good as StrousC N Brothers” will either fail
in a short while, or you paid from four to six dollars more
for the suit than its real worth.
Strouse 6c Brothers High Art Clothing have stood the
test of years, and the friends that they have made become
faster as the seasons come and go. “THE BEST” and
“THE CHEAPEST” is the verdict of thousands who will
wear nothing else.
