No Excuse for Plalnness.

A young lady, by no means beauti-
full, was introduced to a gentleman
who was endowed with good looks but
not manners. During the course OF
their conversation the gentleman
asked:
Are there many more ladies like
you in the Potteries?"
The young lady replied "Oh, yes.
We are all good-looking there. You
see, we make our own mugs"

Oakley. 19 years old
Oakley is a good boy and know
that he had to kill my brother, Mea-
doris told county attorney Frank Ly-
man. NY brother was powerful

could get along with him do not
think that Oakley should be prose-

his mother. Mrs. Meadors, the boys
mother and wife of the slain man, said
that Meadors threatened to beat her.

m whip you, too" Meadors re-

nhHGGsr FARMER IN STATE.
John ruitt Raised 2,O1O Bales of
Cotton Last Year.
{ (Anderson Mail.)

IN loul G. Pruitt, of Starr, the
coupy 3 o' Anderson and the State of
SoutH .arolina have the largest cot
ton producer. His crop this year
amounted to 2,010 bales, and 1t is
doubtful If there was any farmer in
South Carolina who raised within
several hundred bales OF that amount.
M. Pruitt is not only the largest pro-
ducer in the State, but he is one OF
the largest land owners. There are
some few farmers down in the low
country who may exceed him in the
number of acres owned, but they
would not exceed the number Of acres
in cultivation, and the farm lands
down below Columbia cannot COM
pare with those belonging to Mr..
Pruitt.
1t is quite likely that Mr.. Pruitt
himself does not know how many
acres of land he planted in cotton last
year. Furthermore it is likely thac
he does not know how many acieS
Of land he really owns. 1t is a safe
bet, however, that he knows Of every
acre that belongs to him, but it may
be possible that he has never totaled
up the number of acres in all his va
rious farms.
Mr. Pruitt is also one of the most
energetic farmers in the State. He
can be seen going about his various
farms riding on horseback from early
daylight until dark. He keeps in
close touch with everything and
everybody on his lands, and this ac-
counts for his great success.
Just think of 2,010 bales of cotton
raised by one man! Why, that is al
most as much as some counties in
the State raise.

Remedy Used by
Three Generations
MOTHERS WHO TOOK 1T WHEN
CHILDREN NOW GIVING 1T
TO THEIR CHILDREN.

There must be genuine merit to an
article that has stood the test of two
generations of users.
In the field of medicine none has
had greater success, nor retained that
success to a greater degree, than DR..
Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin, which is
now being used by three generations
OF people. It's use in families is con-
stantly becoming more general. The
reason, primarily, is that 1t has
merit. 1t is what 1t represents itself
to be, laXative-tonic; it does not
make exaggerated claims nor use
coarse language to set forth its vir-
tues.
1t is a medicine, but so mild and
gentle medicine that thousands of
mothers give it to tiny infants, and
yet, in slightly larger dose, it is
equally effective for grown-ups. 1t
is for any disorder OF the stomach,
liver or bowels, for constipation no
matter how chronic, for dyspepsia no
matter how severe, for biliousness,
sour stomach, gas on the stomach,
headaches, drowSiness after eating
and similar complaints arising from
a clogged-up condition of the bowels.
1t is pleasant TO the taste and does
not grippe. 1t can be used with safety
and good results by any one at any
age or in any condition of health, and
that persons health will improve.
Every druggist sells it and the price
is only fifty cents and one dollar a
bottle.

(The following, which is known as
Mother Shipton's Prophecy" is said
to have been first published in 1888,
and republished in 164l. It will be
noticed that all the events predicted,
except that of the last two lines, have
already come to pass.)
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe /;
Around the world thought shall fly
In the twinkling Of an eye!
Water shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills men shall ride,
Under water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in water shall float
AS easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and coined
In land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit Jew;
And the world unto an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
