TERRELL FARMERS
HOLD TOBACCO MEET
THE "WEED" AS EASY TO GROW
AS COTTON AND NETS MORE
MONEY PER ACRE.

Several farmers met with Mr.. +.
w. Ziegler at the court house Thurs
day afternoon for the purpose of dis
cussing tobacco growing in Terrell
county. Mr.. Ziegler is tobacco ex-
pert who has devoted his life to the
cultivation of the weed, and he stated
that the land and climate of Terrell
county were ideally adapted to its
successful production.
He exhibited samples grown IN the
Brentwood neighborhood the past sea-
son, which he said were superior to
tobacco grown in South Carolina,
North Carolina and Virginia, and
read letters from South Carolina to-
bacco warehousemenS where the Ter
rell county tobacco was marketed, to
substantiate his assertion. The aver
age price brought by the Terrell
county tobacco was 16 Ia cents a
pound, and the average cost of pro
duction was 5 cents a pound. Mr..
Ziegler said that it could be produced
cheaper than that. The Terrell
county product sold in South Caro-
lima markets at from 3 to 6 cents
higher than the South Carolina to-
bacco. The crop is planted in April
and can be marketed in July, which
gives ample time to grow peas and
other cover crops after the tobacco
has been harvested.
. 1t is Mr.. Ziegler's plan to secure
the guarantee of $50 acres in tobacco
in Terrell county for next season,
he agreeing to look personally after
the cultivation and curing of the crop
for a commission of 10 per cent on
the gross output.
Those who are interested and de-
sire further information on the sub
ject may communicate with Mr..
Zeigler at Brentwood.

EX-NAYOR OF B'HAM

''YOU WILL HARDLY KNOW ME
WHEN WE MEET AGAIN, FOR
AM GETTING WELL" HE
WRITES TO ATLANTA FRIEND.

One of the latest additions to the
list of leaders of thought and action
who have come forward with their
UNQUALIFIED Endorsement of Tanlac is
the name of Hon. Frank V. Evans,
former mayor of Birmingham, Ala,
ex-state examiner of public accounts
of Alabama, and one-time editor OF
one of the South's greatest newspa-
pers-The Birmingham Age-Herald.
Writing to personal friend IN At
lanta, Mr.. Evans says:
Birmingham, Ala, Feb. z, 1916.
q. By the way, you will hardly
know me when we meet again be-
cause am getting well and strong
again. AS l told you while in At
lanta last month, have been suffer
ing a long time with gastritis, as the
doctors call it-really disordered
stomach with consequent constipa-
ton. pains in the shoulders headache,
belching, heartburn, loss of appetite,
loss of sleep and fainting spells. For
weeks | could not sleep on my back.
Zone week ago, upon recommended
ton of friends who had tried the
medicine, l purchased one bottle OF
Tanlac and began taking it. Since
NV second dose | have suffered none
of these troubles to which | refer, and
really believe l am going to get per-
fectly we'll and strong again. Won't
that be wonderful at my age? Well,
certain it is that Tanlac is wonder
full medicine, and you know that |
am not given to putting mere expert
ments and am rather orthodox as to
materia medica.
81 shall continue the treatment
with perfect confidence in the final
results.

Both Mrs. Cowles and Mrs. Sheath
