Last Monday was q week ago, some
of our citizens who were interested in
the County Court, went to Abbeville,
and others went the next day.
Misses Annie and Pet Hawthorn OF
Latimer, went to Starr last Wednes'

wedding festivities of Mr.. Feastel

It is hard indeed for even a boy OF

limbs, but far worse for one of but
little of this worlds goods TO have to
lose one of his. Somehow no one,
either young or old, seems to realize
the danger there is in firearms.
Last Wednesday morning about 8
O'Clock a very dark cloud came over
from the West, and left a little rain,
wind and hail, this last very unusual
in March. From newspaper reports
the same weather conditions covered
an unusually large area, 1t is to be
hoped that the weather mau's supply
of hail is 80 very limited for this year,
that he had to divide it out by long
division giving to all q small share.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Wilson of Leb-

High Grade Fertilizers

We wish to recommend to you the
use of our high grade fertilizer. Take
for instance our. S.44 goods. Eight
per cent. phosphoric acid, 4 per cent.
of ammonia and 4per cent. of potash.
There is nothing better and mighty
little as good. 1t takes just as much
time, trouble and labor to put in a
cheap low grade fertilizer as it does
this 8-4-4 goods, and the resultS are
not to be compared. People who try
it continue its use. It is the cheapest
labor you can get and in the end it is
the cheapest fertilizer. Crops fertil-
lied with 8.44 goods take On q differ
ent hue and q different color to the
others. And then, you get more stalk
and more fruit and that is what 1t
takes to make the crop; stalk and
fruit, and this is the special advantage
of this S-4-4 goods; it makes stalk and
fruit. It costs more than the others
but it is worth much more than the
difference in the cost. IF you don't
feel like going into it heavy at first,
try some Of it. If, you use five tons Of
fertilizer get one ton of S-4-4 goods at
least. Next year you will use more
and you will continue to use more In
til you are using this entirely. It Isl
complete fertilizer and will pay you
better than any you ever used.
Some weeks ago we wrote the Agri-
cultural Department of Clemson Col
lege for a formula for an ideal fertilizer
for cotton suitable for soils in this Sec
ton. You know different soils require
different fertilizers and we are trying
to make a fertilizer that will suit the
soils in this section where we expect
to sell our goods. They SEN US a for.
mula which is practically identical
with this 8-4-4 goods as we make It,.
Their formula calls for Nitrogen but
we use ammonia which il the same
thing EXCEPT in a different form, AM
monia, you know, makes the STALK and
fruit and that Is what you wol k to get
in the crop !; stalk and fruit and am
monia helps you to get it. In fact, you
don't expect much Of q crop unless
you have the stalk and the fruit. A
great deal depends on the way it is
mixed and manipulated. The man
who got out this formula for making
and manipulating our S-4-4 goods
knows his business and we are making
a speciality of this goods. We are will
ing to risk our reputation on the value
of our SD goods as a fertilizer.
Another thing about S-4-4 goods
which you probably had not thought
OF Is this: You can't make it with a
low grade acid and you can't make 1t
with a low grade blood and tankage
either. 1t requires the very best ma
terial such as we have bought. That
is why it costs more than the ordinary
f. rtilizer and that is why it is better
also than the ordinary fertilizer as a
plant food. It is made from the very
best and choicest plant food. We
want you tc try it for we know that it
will give you satisfactory results. If
you have never tried it, try a little at
first. People who use it say you can't
use too much of it but then you want
to be cautious and at first we suggest
that you get one or two tom out of five
of the fertilizer you use and after that
the demand will take care of itself.
Try it and you will see what you have
been missing. See our agents.
