they have made reputation for hon

field of labor and they have gained an
enViable reputation in the community
for their sterling character and up-
rightness.
Tea May Be Grown to Profit Abou.
Here.
That the soil, climate and other
conditions in this locality are quite
favorable for the cultivation of the
tea plant has been conclusively dem
onstrated. Mrs. John Herriot, wife
of Magistrate John Herriot, has
grown two tea plants which, the past
season, yielded one-half pound of tea
OF the finest quality. The writer was
given a branch of one Of the plants
which was in bloom and also con-
tanned several buds. The tea plant
is hardy shrub and it is quite pos
slble and not improbable that the
plant could be successfully grown in
this section to a profit. 1t might not
be outside the inevitable to predict
that the growing of the tea plant in
commercial quantities will become a
reality in the near future in this sec
ton.
In all sections wherever a ginncry
or oil mill is located there it will
be found that the people are hitting
up pace, it matters not whether it is
the planter awaiting his turn to dis
pose Of his cotton and secure his
check, or the ones inside the plants
who are rushing machinery and mcr
to handle the large output from the
fertile fields of this section of South
Carolina. And it all portends big
money and prosperous times for all
concerned.

PELLACRA LOSING Its TERRORS
ALL THROUGH THE SOUTH
Disease Now Better Understood and
Dependable Specific at Last
Found.

BY the time Pellagra had become
known as separate disease, and one
involving the sufferer in new form
of excruciating agony, it had become
so widespread and deeply intrenched
that it seemed at one time almost
impossible to eradicate it.
Since the introduction of SUL-
lTEkRO-SOL, the remarkable natural
mineral remedy for this terrible dis!
ease, the disease has not only been
checked but it has noticeably de-
creased and health and full recovery
has been brought to hundreds of
Pellagra sufferers.
Mr.. w. H. Cutler of log So. goth
St., Birmingham, Ala, adds a glad
voice Of praise to hundreds of others.
He writes: -
~ had a bad case of Pellagra and
suffered indescribably. I was badly
broken out and my bowels were be-
yond control and 1 was a mighty sick
man and becoming more discouraged
every day"
II was very much alarmed over my
case as / had seen such awful effects
of Pellagra in Others"
| "Finally l got so bad could not
work and things looked mighty blue
for me but about this time l was
told about SULFERRO-SOL and
wonderful things it had done for Pei
lagra sufferers so I got bottle and
commenced on it,
at was simply wonderful to see
SULFERRO-SOL take hold me. I
could see it's great work inside of
ten days and in a month l had i'm
proved amazingly"
"Now, thanks to this great remedy
l am different man and can laugh.
at Pellagra. feel like telling every
one | meet that the greatest remedy
that has ever been sold to mankind is
SOL"
SULFERRO-SOL can be found at
any Drug Store. If your Druggist

will order it for you. The Murray

building. of which there are several,
are OF the design of hundred years
ago. The structure was built bv
Capt. Richard Haynesworth. Mr..
Plowden Is not only good farmer,
but he enjoys the chase and he has
pack of the best Walker pack
hounds in the State Of South Caro-
Ina. AS successful planter Mr..
Plowden can hit the trail having
raised this year about 1900 pounds
OF tobacco which brought him about
$4,000. He also grew about 80 bales
of cotton and 1900 bushels of corn
He has resided in the present loca-
ton for the last 45 years.
Mrs. E. Plowden.
Not only is Mrs. Plowden a school
teacher but she is interested in farm
ing having tract of land containing
300 acres,. 125 acres of which are
mostly into pasture. Nevertheless
her broad acres produced about 1900
pounds of tobacco this season. She
has beautiful home where she has
lived for number of years.
Plowdens Are Pioneer Settlers.
Nine miles east of Naming 1. V.
Plowden resides on 1900 acre farm.
200 acres of which he conducts, the
balance being tenanted. This year
he will produce about rs bales of cot
ton, 5000 bushels of corn and 500
bushels of oats. He was successful
in raising about $1,000 worth of to-
bacco which will add materially to
the revenues of the seasons business.
Mr.. Plowden is another up-to- date
planter who has learned the wisdom
of diversified farming and has no
apprehensions in any year lest he will
make good with at least a portion of
his crops and come out at the end
OF the year with good showing to
the right side Of the ledger. Among
the live stock are 10 mules, SO hogs,
30 head of cattle and, in the poultry,
number Of we'll bred chickens.
Large crops of peaches and apples
are grown here. Good buildings and
large conveniently arranged house
are among the valuable assets of this
plantation. The pioneers of the Plow-
dens' came to this section of the
country about ITS years ago and the
large and we'll cultivated plantations
of their descendants attest the fru-
gality and industry of those pioneers
in the land which is being emulated
by their descendants.
