terest than ever before Is being shown
In hog raising. Numerous REQUESTS
for poultry information have been
received. Many announce their in
tcntion to plant home gardens large
enough to enable them really to live

IL appears likely that the European

will teach the Southern farmer the
folly of the one crop system so force
fully that he will adopt wiser ways.

WHY II SUCCEEDS.
Because It's for One Thing Only and
Sumter People Appreciate This.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings sue
cess.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for one
thing only.
For weak or disOrdcred kidneys.
Here is reliable evidence of their
worth.
Mrs. Joseph Wells, Manning, S. c.,
says: Il was afflicted with kidney
complaint and l suffered intensely
from dull, nagging backaches, head
aches and dizzy spells. Doan's Kid
ncy Pills proved to be just what l
needed and had not used them long
before / was relieved"
The above is not an isolated case.
Mrs. Wells is only one Of the many
IN this vicinity who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's. If your back aches
If your kidneys bother you, don't
simply ask for a kidney rcmcdy---ask
distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills,
The same that Ms. Wells had. SOC

LOOK TO WHEAT CROPS,
Time is Ripe for South Carolina to
Return to Growing GrGiil--lIow to
Plant Wheat.

Clemson College, Oct 13.-South
Carolina was at one time great
State but never within the memory
of men now tilling the soil has she
produced enough wheat. This crop
OFFERS one of the main chances to
FARMERS in the present situation. 1t
mas nearly doubled in price within
several weeks and will probably 90
higher ii war continues until late
winter or spring. Farmers in Kan.
Ha", where record wheat crops was
raised this year, are lying awake
nights thinking about how they will
spend the surplus cash t. .ey will
nave. Wheat is one of the best mon
cy crops for the Piedmont now.
No other grain makes bread so
universally priced. Russia, Austria
Hungary, France, three of the war
ri"G nations, are largo producers of
wheat and conditions in those coun-
tries will cause the worlds supply to
be very short.
Wheat, says w. l.. Hutchinson.
professor of agrOnomy of Clemson
College, in discussing how to grow
this crop in South Carolina, prefers
heavy lcams and clay soils and is not
as we'll suited 70 the sandy lands Of
this state as are oats. The Piedmont
section is excellent for wheat, especi-
ally the heavier soils that are in good
condition, though good yields may
be made on poorer soils by heavy
fertilization.
Land for wheat should be plowed
ana thoroughly lifted and pulIerized
with the harrow and rollers so that
the seed bed will be firm with a thin
layer OF loose soil at the surface.
y drill is the best implement for
seeding, but ic n drill cannot he OBJ
tanned The wheat may be sown broad
cast and diskcG in. Drills apply the
fertilizer and SOW the seed so salts
factoril% that this method OF seeding
is advised. Good small drills are to
lc mad at moderate cost for seeding
small areas.
Sow live or six pccks to the acre.
advises Prof. Hutchinson. November

BOOZE AND BUSINESS

The resolutions passed by the Pittsburg, Pa, board of trade in fla vor of prohibition, certainly ought to convince any business man that booze and business are enemies and that prohibition and business are friends. But the Pittsburg board of trade is secure in its position because busi- ness men everywhere who have made any study whatever of the subject are unanimous in the opinion that business is better in prohibition towns and states than in license towns and states.
 Rockford, Illinois. is a much larger town than Phoenix and does great deal more business The Rockford Merchants and Business Mems As sociation has 160 members. 153 of whom vote the dry ticket. They place it on the ground that less credit is asked of the merchants when the town is dry than when it is wet. and that the credit given when the town is dry is better than when the town is wet That when a laborer caShes his check in a grocery store, meat market or other legiti- mate enterprise that it goes further toward supplying the family with the necessaries of life than when his check is cashed in the saloon. Manu- lecturers with the Workingmen' s Compensation Act staring them in the face have found that their men are not so liable to accident in a dry city as in a wet one. They have also found that in the severe compe- tition of these times that the man who is not handicapped the man with brain unclouded by alcohol is going to render a more efficient ser vice.
 The bankers of Rockford have found great increase of savings deposits during the time the city has been dry. Men who now have good savings accounts, during wet times never had one dollar to rub against another. There is only one attorney in active practice out of fifty lawyers who will defend a blind bigger or bootlegger. The county medical so- ciety almost to man is for a dry city. Only one city in Illinois, hay ing population of over fifteen thousand, has a lower tax rate than Rockford and that is Jacksonville which has been dry two years longer than Rockford. The population of Rockford is now placed at 54,000 They did not have a murder in the entire county last year while East St Louis with an equal population and 451 saloons had seventeen murders Economy and good government make it possible to do without the license money formerly obtained from the saloons, and the former drinking citi- zens are becoming property owners and producers and are creating new taxable values so that they have more revenue producing power than before and are able to reduce their taxes Rockford has not gone back since becoming dry but she has gon' ahead.

greater municipal improvements than during the past two dry years.
 Rockford has but one policeman to eighteen hundred people While fun damentally the question of saloons or no saloons is great moral question, it has been largely, decided in Rock ford through the presentation of it's economic side. The men who have been drinking the men who pay taxes, the men who employ labor, the men who work have found out through Rockford wet and Rockford dry that the great toll of one million dollars taken annually from the city to keep B saloons running was just so much money wasted. That the great bulk of it left the city to purchase the supply of liquors. That , money is now staying in Rockford paying up old debts, paying cash tor things now sold, buying lots and taxable, value and producing revenue building houses, thus creating new taxable value and producing revenue with which to meet the city's obHga- tions.

 Dear Sir:
 I am in receipt of your letter of the 9th inst. containing d challenge
 to meet you in debate on the ques-
 tion Of statewide prohibition. Even
 were it not for the fact that I have
 previous engagement to make an ] address on that date at the Old
 Settlers picnic at Cottonwood | Springs, l would be compelled to decline your invitation because of the language in which it is couched and which in itself would preclude any possibility of the respectful hearing" you promise at the hands of yourself and your friends. Ever thus early in the campaign it has been clearly demonstrated. that the question of statewide prohibition ! in Arizona is not debatable one. The attitude of yourself ond your CO., workers is not one that would permit Of fairness to an opponent Like others engaged in your field, you ac- iuiiC -SSUlto DS dpPtoio lO pdoSlOl- and hysterical denunciation, which wholly disregard logic and facts
 Like other fanatics you believe that the man who honestly disagrees with you is nothing less than a fiend and
 a menace to the community. With 1 you and your colleagues, only YOU l are right and the man who opposes 1 you, no matter what his high stand | ing in his community, is immediately ] branded as a criminal.
 l Your statement that my attitude is l perfectly satisfactory to every brew

TWO THIRDS OF CARS
 IN RUSSIA ARE FOROs
Russian War Preparations Moving
 Swiftly by Ford Power

Ford, Ont, Sept 12.-With all Russia united as neve. before Tn any var, the huge task of hurriedly mop ilizing her vast armies fell in no small measure on the Ford automo- piles, if one may judge from the part this sturdy car has played Tn the maneuvers held by the cZar's troops during the past year or two. In the sham conflicts, Fords were put to all most every conceivable use, and last season near Peterhof, the generals Of the imperial staff were carried from point to point in eight Ford cars. Two heavy European cars attempted the work but failed as they could not do cross country work in the mud.
 The armies have found that auto mobiles will go every place a horse las been asked to go, to some where horses cannot go, no matter what the chatter or how many bombs burst | about them.
 Many regiments have previously | been equipped with Fords, while upon the declaring of war, entire stocks of autos at distributing points in the | IdTRe CltleS were DN the government forces The author ities gave slips for the machines they requisitioned and payment probably l will be made some time, though no one can say how soon.
 | Pleasure cars are being pressed in to use for dispatching patrols and signal corps and such small bodies of | troops as well as transporting the | officers. Some are equipped for wireless service in the field for hos pital service, and for carrying ammu. nition and various smaller munitions of war.
 Armaments have not. yet reached | such perfection that regiments of men mounted in automobiles take the place of cavalry, but for every other purpose than cavalry movements, the automobile is in favor Two grand dukes and nineteen Russian princes own Fords. The president of the douml. Prince Volkonsky. has three. and the secret police. palace guards and government officials all use the universal car"
 Thirty-two per cent of all the cars in the entire empire are Fords. It is the only car which can penetrate
 certain sections, and has proved its adaptability from St. Petersburg to the Black Sea and from Warsaw to Vladivostok. All oven Russia .he word automobile is synonymous with Ford" and it is safe to say that in the present crisis, just as in the
 maneuvers of peace, Ford cars are
