rains which, in cases Of even slightly
rolling land, may be the source of con-
siderable loss.
The first spring cultivation will
work this vegetatiye growth now dead
and partially decayed into the soil.
Through the processes of decompo-
sition the supply of soil humus is thus
replenished, and soil agencies liberate
the plant food used in making this
growth, when it is at once taken up
by the roots of the fruit plants and
used in the growth and development
of the various parts Of such plants
which at this season are in an exceed
ingly high state of activity.
The growth of grain presents very
pleasing picture to the eye through
out the fall season, during which time
there is usually not much verdure in
evidence.
To the one possessing an aesthetic
nature this alone will be ample re-
compensation for the expense in
volved.
AS soon as the fruiting season is
over, 1t is usually advisable to remove
the canes just fruited and burn them.
Where there are fungous diseases
to contend with the need of this be-
comes imperative. After this growth
has been removed the young canes
should be thoroughly sprayed with
the Bordeaux mixture. A month later
another application should be made.
When the canes have so far ripened
that the leaves begin to drop, the
growth of young canes may be re-
duced by cutting away about one-third
of the growth made.
Fall pruning has no advantage over
spring pruning, perhaps, except that
with most growers work Is not so
pressing at that season as In the
| spring.
Then, too, where there is loss
caused by breaking Of canes from
high winds and deep SHOWS fall prun-
ing may lessen injury from this
| source.

when OUT OF SORTS START
YOUR LIVER WORKING.
No Matter What Ais You, DOdSOn'S Liver
Tone is Usually a Big Help in Get
tiDq Well. Avoid CalOmel

Nine times out of ten, when you
are i'll or out of sorts, your liver is
out of order and getting it in order
again will make you feel better.
When your liver IS sluggish and tor
pid and you are constipated and bill
ious, it is impossible to feel well.
There was a time when a great
number of people took calomel when
so troubled. But this is not true to-
day. 1t has become widely known
that calomel often has bad after-ef-
fects and is even dangerous to many.
The use of Dodson's Liver Zone in
stead of calomel has spread wonder
fully because it has proved so bene-
fetal in so many households.
DR. w V Brockington recommends
and guarantees Dodson's Liver Tone
instead of calomel and guarantees to
refund purchase price (50c) to you
instantly without question if you are
not perfectly pleased with the way
in which it relieves you from consti-
patton. sick headache, biliousness, etc.
1t ''livens up" the liver and is a
pleasant-tasting, vegetable liquid,
easy to take and causes no pain, nc
gripe, no bad results, no change from
your regular duties and habits.
To test Dodson's Liver Tone is q
sensible matter because you get your
money back if you are not satisfied

ANNOUNCEMENT.

We are glad to announce through
the columns of our paper that the
New" Central Warehouse, which
has recently been erected on the old
site, is now in the hands of Messrs
Williams, Montgomery and Nesmith,
who have leased and will run it the
coming season. This is strong firm,
composed of men of great business
capacity, who are workers, and we
predict for them g large share of
the warehouse business in our city.
Mr. ] S WILLIAMS, who comes to
us from Danville, Va, will have charge
of the sales. He is not stranger to
you, having been connected with
Kings warehouse at Lake City for
the past five years. Mr. Williams is
capable, experienced warehouse
man, having been in the business
practically all his life. For the past
twenty years he bas been in Dan
vile, Va, the largest loose-leaf to-
bacco market in the world, and with
his unlimited experience and knowl-
edge of the weed, the farmers
need have no fear in placing their
tobacco on the floor at the Cen
tral", knowing that behind the auc-
tioneer is man who is a Judge of
tobacco, and one who will see to it
that each and every pile of their to-
bacco brings full market price at all
times.
Mr. W E NEsMITH, who has re-
Gently made Kingstree his home, will
have charge of the floor. Mr. Ne
smith is a business man who comes
here from near Cades. He is we'll
known throughout the county, and
those who know him best will say he
always "bulled" the market in the
interest of the farmer at Cades. If
honesty, accuracy and genuine ap-
probation, along with intelligent
handling of your leaf tobacco, count
for anything, let Mr. Nesmith show
you, rather than tell you, what ne
can do with your tobacco.
Mr. L C MONTGOMERY, a man who
is widely and favorably known
throughout this and adjacent coun-
ties, whose honesty and integrity are
above reproach and whose business
qualifications peculiarly fit him for
his line of work, will have charge of
the office. If efficient, pains-taking
service counts for anything, let Mr.
Montgomery handle your leaf tobac-
co account.
! We are glad to welcome these
gentlemen to our town and commu-
nifty and predict that they will prove
valuable asset to our tobacco in
