things better for the canning men as
there is enough old stock in the mar

Astounded the Editor.

Editor S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville,
S. c., was once immensely surprised.
Through long suffering from Dyspep-
sia," he writes, ''my wife was greatly
run down. She had no strength or
vigor and suffered great distress from
her stomach, but she tried Electric
Bitters which helped her at once, and,
after using four bottles, she is entirely
well, can eat anything. It's a grand
tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities
are splendid for torpid liver" For In

There is much complaint here that
tomatoes are slow in ripening this
year. A little over 500 baskets is the
highest number at this writing vet re-
ceived any one day at our cannery.
The tomato worms are numerous and
some growers are fighting them and
they are also being scared also on the
vines by the hot suns. Many contrac-
