president himself yesterday after
noon at one Dlinute after l o'clock.
At three minutes after l o'clock the
petition was reposing peacefully in
the pocket of the great coat of one
of the secret service men. It might
be considered to have been received

days of work and planning on the

day and it has been the intention
of the chapter to celebrate the day
by marking the "Old Trails" but as
yet the work is not so we'll under
way, so the day will be spent by
visiting Emily Geiger's grave near
Lexington. This will be an all day
affair and anyone interested is invit-

TANLAC'S SUCCESS
ISDUE TO MERITS.
''HOT AIR WILL PUT UP A
BALLOON, BUT 1T WON'T
KEEP 1T UP,' SAYS A
NOTED ADVERTISER.
TANLAC's RECORD SUPREME.
Should Value Be Lacking, rhe General
Public Long Ago Would Have Lost
Faith in Tanlac.

This is an age of advertising, and
everyone is familiar with the popu.
lar saying, 1t pays to advertise"
Advertising is a business force.
So potent is the charm cast by its
spell it has been known to perform
marvellous feats and to accomplish
phenominal results.
1t cannot be truly said however,
that everyone who advertises sue
ceeds for unless full value underlays
the article advertised the advertising
would ultimately fall of its own
weight. In this connection we must
not forget the words of the immor
tai Lincoln who said: You can
fool some of the people all the time.
you can fool all of the people some
Of the time, but you cannot fool all
of the people all of the time" so
if there is not behind every adver-
tisement dollars and a cents value
to the article advertised, no amount
of advertising will stimulate the
sale on such an article beyond
certain point. This applies to
every line of business and the mod
ern business man or firm can only
succeed through honest advertising
and fair dealing.
One of the most successful adver-
tisers in Amerca to-day is L. T.
Cooper, the manufacturer of the
new medicine, Tanlac. On one oc-
casion Mr.. Cooper said: Hot air
will put balloon up, but it won't
keep it there When 1 offered
Tanlac to the world something over
a year ago, I did so with the firm
that l was offering to the |
people the best and purest product
of its kind on the American market
today and l did not hesitate to ex.
pend vast sums for advertising be-
cause I knew the more the people
knew about it the more they would
buy it.
The success of the preparation
was immediate, and the people

Little James Cullum died last
Monday at the home of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. James Cullen at
Hartsville and the body was brought
here on on Tuesday to the home Of
the grandfather, Mrs. Annie B.
Harrison to await the interment.
Little James was just one and
a half years old and was a bright
and beautiful child. and on frequent
visits here his radiant little face was
always pleasure to behold. He had
completely entwined himself around
the hearts of his fond parents who
are now completely crushed over
their loss. The funeral service was
conducted on Tuesday afternoon by

music class on Friday evening and
this was in every way most de-
lightful affair and the choruses,
piano, sextettes, duets and quar-

program received hearty applause.
Prof. John Waters is director and
this large class in his charge has

familiar to everyone. No matter

1t is story of an acceptance and

obtained by proprietary medicine.
Conservative business men, to whom
the actual figures of the production
of Tanlac have been presented, have
secuted them until the proof was
shown.
The production of Tanlac now
stands at the rate of almost 5,OOO,-
900 bottles per year, or to be more
correct 4,sOO,0OO. The sale of
100000 bottles during the first
nine months probably exceeded any
record ever before made BY pro-
prietary medicine.
Through the Atlanta office alone
approximately 100000 bottles have
been sold and distributed since De-

now requires over 100000 bottles
per year.

pound of grain each. With rich soil
and ample rainfall 1900 or more
stalks to the acre are necessary for OBJ
tanning record yields.
In planting corn in hills practically
all corn planters drop all the kernels
of the hill in bunch. Bunch planting
results in unnecessary crowding both
Ing the stalks and reducing the yield.
Kernel-spaced checking combines the
advantages and oyercomes the disad-
vantagcs of drilling and checking, and
there is need for an implement that
will combine the advantages of kernel
spacing and hill checking.
Planting by hand has some adyan-
tages, but the labor saved by the use
of planters is so great that for profit
able corn growing their use is indis-
pensable. Moreover, if the seed is in
proper condition my good planter can
be made to cover corn az satisfactorily
as 1T can be done with Il hoe; and
seed ears having Kernels of uniform
size be selected and the small and
mlsshapen kernels Mt the extremtics
of the ears be rejected, good modern
complaining machines can be made
to drop with sufficient accuracy for
practical purposes. However. the yield
depends to such an extent upon the
proper number of stalks and their even
distribution that too much stress can
hardly be placed upon the necessity
for selecting seed ears having kernels
of uniform size and plates for the
planter that will drop the right number
at the required distance. Every spring
the planter should be thoroughly test
ed and adjusted until 1t will drop accu
rately the seed to- be used. The kernels
OF different kinds of corn vary so much
In size and shape that 1t is necessary
