WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply a few drops then lift corns or
calluses off with fingers
No poi,,

mo pam.
No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
trifie, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or, callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freezohe have him order
it for you.

All that Mr.. Ellyson asked back in
the eighties was that Il local option
election in Richmond be deferred, and
this was in his capacity as private
citizen, but i'm his official capacity
as member of the Constitutional
Convention Mr.. Pollard was pleading
for protection to the dispensaries
witho" explaining the difference of

liquor secured through some other
source. This incident should serve to
teach Mr.. Pollard that it is not safe
for those who live in glass houses to
throw stones.
Not having held public office, Mr..
Davis has no record other than that
of his platform and his recent activi-
ties in favoring legislation of one
kind and another. He has said time
and again that if elected Governor
he will oppose the creation of iany
new offices. AS to this, the people
can only Judge the future by the past,
for it is well understood that every

THE FARMER GOVERNOR"

Hon. Wcstmoreland Davis candi-
date for Governor is making an
appeal as "a farmer" to TIE farm
ers of Virginia. This he i doing
through private correspondence, etc,
from his headquarters in Richmond,
and through the columns of the
Southern Planter, the organ of the
Virginia Farmers Institute. The far
mer vote and influence is powerru,
in any state. They hold the balance
of power and if Mr.. Davis, or either
of the other candidates can land the
vote of the farmers of the state, his
election is assured, particularly if
the Anti-Saloon League or the saloon
people can be rounded up in support
of the same candidate. That Mr..
Davis is making strong appeal to
the farmer-as strong as can be
made under existing condition, is
evident. The July issue of the
Southern Planter, says: eve have no
apology, therefore to offer, when we
ask the farmers of the state to vote
for Westmoreland Davis, Il farmer.
for Governor in the primary on
August 7th. If Mr.. Davis is not
elected Governor, the farmers of the
state will have no representative that
understands their problem On the
state tax board"
So there you are. And we are
further assured "thc future advance
ment of agriculture in Virginia" de-
ponds upon the election of Mr.. Davis.
One is lead to ask, if il is fact,
as is clearly implied here, that neither
Mr. Ellyson nor MIR. Pollard under
stand the needs of the farmer. that
neither of these gentlemen are as
capable of wrestling with the tax
questions of the state, and in short.
whether or not both of them are san
heads? The claim of the"Farmcr
Governor" is as untrue as it is full
OF self conceit. Does Mr.. Davis think
the farmers of Virginia are fools. to
be caught in IL net of buncumbe. no
lltical assumptions? If he does he is
away off, and will so learn on Aug.
Z. unless we are away off.
Not candidate has Offered for
election since the days of Noah, that
didn't claim to be "a great friend to
the farmers"
1t is a well known and deplor-
able fact that there is a strong "wet"
element in Virginia, particularly in
the towns and cities. Mr.. Davis is
classed as a friend of the "wets."
Inc Farmer Governor" should read.

WOULD HATE TO SEE DAVIS
ELECTED"

A prominent citizen, supporter
of Mr.. Pollard, remarked i'll our
hearing the other day: 81. would hate
to see Davis elected" He was led to
this remark in view of the menace of
divided vote between Ellycon and
Pollard And there is the trouble.
Pollards vote is likely to be just
large enough to defeat Ellyson and
not large enough to elect himself,
which means, Davis.

UNPRECEDENTED PROSPERITY
THE PROMISE OF THE NEW
YEAR FOR THE SOUTH

The Manufacturers Record.
The New Year opens with the pros
pect for a long period of unprece-
dented prosperity throughout the
South. With over $4,000, 900, 900
coming into this section from cotton
ald cotton products, with the assur-
'ance Of profitable prices for this
years crop, with diversified agricul-
ture making splendid progress as ty-
pifed in the many meat-packng
houses going up all over this section
"a new industry of incalculable i'm
portance-there is the assurance Of
great agricultural prosperity.
To this may be added the amazing
" rapid growth of early vegetable
and citrus and other fruit culture
which now taxes the railroads as to-
matoes and strawberries and oranges
and grapefruit move northward in
ever-expanding volume, to be follow
ed day by day by vegetable ship;
ments from Texas, Louisiana and
Arkansas, and then the Carolinas and
other States as spring weather moves
northward.
Industrial activities find expression
IN cotton mills and iron and steel
work, and in coal mines and coke
ovens, all of which are more fully
employed at profitable prices than
ever before.
Railroads are overcrowded, as in
all other sections, and great rail-
road expansion is inevitable.
Upon good roads the South is
spending over $50,000,000 a year,
and still larger sums are going into
street, building and other municipal
improvements.
Shipbuilding is becoming a recog-
nized industry, and while one Vir-
ginia yard leads with over $5O,O00,-
900 of work under contract, other
yards, all the way down the coast to
Texas, are catching the inspiration,
and are finding that work pours in
upon them more rapidly than they
can provide facilities to handle it. :.
Bank vaults are bulging with mon:
ey as never before. The spirit of
thrift, as voiced in savings deposits,
is steadily growing.
The curse of the liquor traffic,
with it's fearful toll of sin and death
and financial loss, is being gradually
lessened.
Such, in brief, is the splendid bus
mess outlook as the South enters up
on the New Year.

ONE OF THE GREAT
~ PLEASURES OF LIFE

One of the great pleasures Of hav-
ing a ward full of trees is seeing the
many bright and beautiful birds
which fit from tree to tree and keep
up q merry chatter all the time.
Monday our yard was alive with the
little brown birds which are always
the forerunners Of snow. Every few
days we see a bright and beautiful
cardinal with his demure mate, who
seem to find q haven in the tea olive
tree. Every day, excepting Fri
days, of course, we have the saucy
blue bird to liven up things while a
week ago flock of wood peckers on
their way South, rested with US for
two days and with their bright heads
and spangled breasts made the days
lovely for US all.

OPPOSED TO BOND ISSUE.

To the Editor of The Press and
Banner:
In order that my position may be
clear to the people of Abbeville
county, I will request that may say
through the columns of your paper,
that / am absolutely opposed to any
bond issue for Abbeville county. /
feel that our taxes are too high now
and shall do all that I can to pre-
vent any raise in taxes, either state
or county. In this connection l also
desire to say that I believe that the
time has come in South Carolina for
q lower rate Of interest and have
therefore introduced a bill providing
for straight six per cent interest.
Yours respectfully,
J. Howard Moore.
