depended upon. The best is Doan's
Kidney Pills, a medicine for the
kidneys only, made from pure roots

It's convincing testimony.

Clark's Hill Peaches Command
Good Price.

The peach crop will soon be a
thing of memory, the last of tn e
Elbertas being gathered this
week. There has been about a half
crop but the prices have been good
the entire season. One shipper told
me that he realized S4.0o a crate
net, for some of his especially fancy
peaches. With that price the middle
man either made no profit or the
consumer paid dear for what he ate
Meriwether which is only two
miles from Clark's Hill shipped
several cars a good many of the
Clark's Hill growers putting in
with the Meriwether shippers. The
peach season is a busy one always
having in quite a number of
packers. We have them here from
Florida, Georgia, ,Newberry and other
points. With all of the hard work
though the young folks have man
aged to have a good deal of pleasure
Mrs. King gave item ice cream last
Wednesday and most enjoyable
time was reported.
Other little festivities have been
quite frequent. A few young people
would gather at some place in the
evening and, pass off a few hours
with music and conversation. Some
stag parties have been given which
were quite pleas ant.
There is a general feeling of re-
Gret that the peaches are gone and
pleasant association is here to be
broken, lingering adieus are being
said and soon all will be quiet
again, possibly until next Year will
bring it all back again.
We are having abundant rains
which are smaking the crops look
much improved. Some were fearful
that the early corr which had been
planted in the hills were ruined but
the rains are helping that and it is
well. Watermelon patches,
that pride of a farmers heart were
too far gone to be revived. /

Poor Georgia, like South Carolina,
is sorely afflicted with demagogues

method, although slow and inefi-
cient, and consequently expensive,
was adhered to for many years.
Now, however, the steam shovel
has been brought into requisition,
with beneficial results. Old ground
supposed to have been exhausted by
hand digging has been mined over
Wi tn the steam shovel, which re-
covered as much rock as was pro-
duced at the first mining. With the
ste am shovel's aid the mining has
also been carried deeper, in some
instances as far as 10 feet below the
surface, with good results. River
mining was begun with tongs, but
those were speedily discarded for
the steam dredge.
THE fertilizer manufacturing
plants at the present time number
90. Nine of these are operated in
dependently, while the others are
embraced in the combination of the
Virginia Carolina Chemical Co.,
whose headquarters are in Rich
mond, Va.
THE plants of the Virginia. Caro-
lima company produce somewhat
more than half of all the fertilizers
made in Charleston. The standard
price of acid phosphate is 50 per
ton. Some grades of fertilizers sell
for $40 per ton, but the average
price is about sl8. At those figures
the output of 1910 brought irto the
city about sll, 100000.
