Application was made at this depart

surgeon to go TO county in the State
to investigate a suspicious disease that
was killing the stock. The department
has no surgeon that can be used to an
swer such calls. The Live Stock Sani-
tary Board, OF which the writer 10
chairman, has as member the profess
sor Of veterinary science at the \. &
NJ. college, who Is by virtue OF that
position State veterinarian. However,
his services are always in demand At
the college, where regular classes are
taught and the State stock "a look
after. There is q Just demand for con-
petent persons to attend 10 Just such
cases. 1t has been suggested, and with
be authorized to appoint assistant vet
erinarians At different points in the
State, and that these veterinarians be
sent in response to demands in their
immediate territory, they to be paid
for the time actually in service. This
plan would be economical and much
more effective than having one man
to attempt to cover the entire State.
Travelling expense would be proper
tionately lessened and the man could
be gotten on the ground much quicker
The Importance OF this demand Is de-
serving OF attention at the hands of the
Legislature when it again assemblies

AS OTHERS THINK.
Everyone in LaurenS Has Right TO His
Own Opinion.

While everyone has a right to his own
opinion, yet it is wise to always con
slider what others think and profit by it.
Nothing makes life so miserable, or
interferes so widely with the usefulness
of the average American as Indigestion,
and it is well for us to give fair consd-
Grafton to what others think about this
remarkable aflliction.

Mi-o-na stomach tablets the have an
absolute cure for Indigestion and the
many disagreeablc symptoms that fol-
eating, coated tongue, bad taste in the
mouth, dizziness, natulencc and nervous
ness.
Their action in selling Mi-o-na on a
guarantee to refund the money unless it
cures shows plainly their belief in the
value of this remedy.

Give Attention TO Live Stock.

Live stock also will help to make
good use of large acreage with a
comparatively small number of labor
ers; but, at least, part of the laborers
will then have to be above the ordinary
cotton-field type. For one who has not
had experience with live stock, more
risk would be run in attempting to grow
it than there would be in raising hay or
oats, or even corn. The risk of loss in
live stock raising would increase as the
attention given by the landowner to the
enterprise decreased, unless he should
be fortunate in having a manager who
understood the business and who was
reliable and could be depended upon to
continue the work from year to year.

Interesting and Snappy.

Interesting and snappy paragraphs
are these from the Farm Journal:
When in doubt set another hen.
Shorten the row by grinding the hoe.
Rainbows can never be seen in burg
holes.
Men who pay as they go usually do
not go very often.
He who fears the storms spends many
idle days in port.
The earthworm considers the plow a
narrowing calamity.
1t is well to plan the work, but be
sure you can work the plan.
Take time to grind your jacl<knife;
many farmers carry awfully dull knives
in their pockets.
Open your heart to the sorrow of
every man who comes to talk with you
about his troubles.
Why is the careless boy like hen?
Because he can seldom find anything
where he laid it yesterday.
Error is a great deal worse than ig-
norance. 1t is better to know nothing
than to know what isn't true
Make that boy working partner.
That is, give him some interest, how
ever small, in the rewards of intelli-
gent husbandry
Pay as you go. More than one ship

no store-bill rats nibble at the bottom

man will wait on bank four hours
for fish that doesn't intend to bite;
but he won't wait five minutes for his

There isn't any music for good far
mer in rafting wagon. He knows
every time he drives such a wagon that
he is just shaking the money right out

and save the wear ann tear on the
wagon and on your own nerves at the
same time.

ed and keep the floors and the tables
clean. 1t is an error to keep a room
dark continually to keep out flies. Flies
do not like room where there is no
moisture or mold Let in the sunlight,
and make the rooms unpleasant for
them. Where there is no sunlight they
will find conditions they like, even
though they gather at windows where
light comes in. Have screen doors
hung to swing outward, so flies will

Crop Condition Report.

Statistics just made public by the
crop reporting board of the department
of agriculture, show that the condition
of the cotton crop in South Carolina on
June 25th was better than for several
years past, and also above the average
June conditions for the past ten years.
The South Carolina crop stands at 81
per cent, as against 70 per cent on the
same date in 1907 and II per cent on
the same date in 1906.

Cleansed Cotton Seed.

Cleansed cotton seed saves much ex-
pense and labor in thinning out the
stands; so says Mr.. W. e. Worth, of
Wilmington, N. c., in letter to The
Advertiser. BY mechanical process he
claims to get rid of all the immature
seed, leaving only the best matured
seed for planting. There is truth in
what Mr.. Worth has to say about the
superlluous planting and hoeing. Fol
lowing is an excerpt from his letter:
"These seed are cleaned by me-
chanical process of my own and are in
no manner injured for seed purposes,
no chemical of any kind being used on
them. There are two hundred thousand
seed in bushel.
= Experience in planting these seed
this spring shows that if dropped by a
corn dropper, any distance desired, two
to three to hill, under ordinary con.
ditions perfect stand will be obtained
Planted in this way Is inches apart
one bushel will plant 10 acres.
My experience in cleaning cotton
seed proves to me that about 35 per
cent of them are immature. These |
take out mechanically and prepare for
planting only the best
''By using these seed, and planting
the same as corn, the expense of chop
ping out and hoeing is eliminated and
by planting the best seed there can be
no doubt that there will be an increase
in the yield of cotton"

The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1908-07-08

The South is producing an average of
about twelve million bales of cotton a
year. The time is rapidly coming when
this must be increased to twenty mill
ion bales or more to meet the world s
requirements. The gain in consump-
tion will require an average of half a
million bales a year. At this gain it
would'require but ten years to make it
necessary for the South to raise seven
teen million or eighteen million bales
annually.
There is no reason why the world will
not eventually need forty million or
fifty million bales or more of Southern
grown cotton; and with good prices and
an increase in the labor supply, even
this would not be the limit of the
South's ability.
The practical monopoly of cotton pro
duction is a potential power for the
South as great as would be an equally
strong domination of the worlds iron
ore supply.
Sooner or later, when this section
fully comprehends this great power, it
will make the world pay tribute to it's
Golfers, just as would England or any
other country which owned the worlds
iron ores.
BY reason Of this condition cotton
growers ought to be the most prosper
Gus farmers in the world, and in time
they doubtless will be- r. II. Edmonds,

To Get Rid of Plies.

To get rid of flies, screen and clean

to prevent the spread of disease flies
should be destroyed. 1t says
can this shows that each person
should keep his own premises clean and
have his house screened, so that flies
may not come from a neighbours, where
there is sickness and thus carry the
disease. 1t has been stated that one
female lays an average of 100 eggs in a
season; and supposing that half that
many flies develop, figure up what the
number of her offspring is after three
or four generations.

Southern Pacific Wins Tax Case.

The case of the county treasurer
against the Southern Pacific Company
for the collection of delinquent taxes
and penalties came up for hearing yes
terday morning. The county treasurer
was represented by Il. D. MOllOy and
the railroad company by Attorney
Frank Cox. The latter cOntended that
the money for taxes arrived two days
late by accident, and that the company
had not intended to either delay or dis
pute payment Of its taxes. After hear
ing the arguments Judge Kent took
the matter under advisement, reserv-
inc bis decision until today, when he
decided in favor of the company. He
decided that although delinquent, no
penalty attached until the delinquent
tax roll was made up, and before this
was done the company rendered the tax
money, and was therefore not subject
to the penalty. The amount of taxes,
without penalty, was $38, 800 and was
paid and receipted for yesterday.
