Slushy Weather the Time for the
Split Log Drag.

There was no use talkingabout
the virtues of the split.log drag
while the drought was on, for no.
body would listen. Now that
roads ankle deep in dust have
been replaced with roads half
leg deep in ret mud, perhaps 1t
would not be unwiSe to say few
words about the drag, which is
distinctly a welwearher weapon.
The roads are bad now and
they are going to be worse. 1t
has been demonstrated time and
again in Davidson county That an
inexpensive split log drag will
make the redd"st, sOtteSt road
dry and passable. An example
of it may be Sen on the Salem
road, uorth of Lexington, through
the farm of Grimes broihers,
where systematic dragging has
been carried on for many mouths.
The road is smoo h, compact,
wellcrOwned and no waller stands
on the surface. The average
country road, with few hours
work, would look as well and
with a little systematic dragging
would make as good road.
Try it. 1t will not cost you
much The drag costs but little
and you can do the work when it
is too wet to pluw. Organize a
split-log drag club and drag the
road from your home to the
church, to the neighborhood
sore and nj and to the school
house. You will be surprised at
tne change it will make in the life
of the neighborhood.
Don't wait until the roads get
hard and dry again. The split
log drag does not work we'll in,
~ weather. Just as soon as
the rain slacks up a bit, get busy
and smooth out the rutS, crown
up the old dirt roads and begin
t enjoy life. 1t will pay you

Mrs. Bender, who is 81 years
old, was born in 1880 IN South
Caraina. She was married TO
E. ". Moore at Columbia, >. C.,
in 1892. She was only IL years
and 3 months old when her first
child was born. This child, a
daughter, was married in 1909
to Edward Sinclair and in Jan
uary, 1910, gave birth to twins,
the mother being barely 10 and
the grandmother not yet 30.
In January of this year Mrs.

Mr.. Moore died when Mrs.

UP-TO.DATE AND NOVEL.
Advertising Methods Adopted by an
Enterprising House

That Cheraw Is fast becoming met
ropolitan in the mehods of advertis-
ing used by our merchants to call
the buying public's attention to the
many splendid values which they are
Offering, also THAT the wide-awake
firm of j. T. Ladd is keeping up with
and just a little ahead of the times
in an advertising respect is again
practically demonstrated by what is
perhaps the most elaborate system
of advertising ever attempted by any
business house in this section, namely:
the giving away of the beautiful Up
ton Parlor Grand Piano which is now
upon exhibition at hs store.
This piano retails at S400 each,
guaranteed for ten years. The plin-
cipal points of superiority OF the
celebrated Upton Piano over any
other of this class of instruments lie
in the three strings in unison with
overstrung bass, the splendidiy
pitched scale and true sounding
board which give the Upton that rich,
deep, even tone so much admired.
In recent interview with Mr..
Ladd regarding this decided innova-
ton in advertising he said: 81 have
been enjoying the patronage and con-
fidence of the buyers of this community
for some time now and by always try
ing to keep my stocks complete the
saying that you can get it at Ladd's'
has become a household expression.
In giving away this piano | am ac-
tuated by a double purpose, to show
my appreciation of the patronage OF
my friends during the past, also to
encourage new trade and to bring the
many splendid values We are now
showing in all lines to the attention
OF every buyer in this territory. The
plan we are using in giving away
this piano is equitable and fair to all.
