"A Paving Brick
:. In My Stomach
Declared "a Spartanburg, S. c.,
Man. He Was Constipated,
Nervous, Fains in His Back;
Had Dizzysspells. Dreco: End
ed it All For Him.

I often felt like I had paving
brick in my stomach" says this well
known man who has resided at 181
Park Avenue, .Spartanburg. S. c., for
fourteen years, Mr.. P. A. Harnan.
My stomach went on q strike,
think, for nothing I ate seemed to
digest, but Just laid there. I was
badly constfBated., nay liver was mac
tive; got so nervous I couldn't sleep,
and dizzy spells would hit me, and
I'd have to sit down right there Dre-
co started my. bowels moving at
once and all my. troubles seemed to
fade away, and now am well as ever
in my life. eat anything I crave.
and it never hurts one bit. I sleep
fine; in fact, I'm well again.
= To1those who suffer from stomach
troubles and their. attendant disor-
ders-constipatIo you are warned to
profit by the experience Of others.
Don't let these troubles sap your COM
fort, health and vitality away. They
wear the victim down until he grows
weaker every day. laying him open
to disease Of, serious nature. Every
one should Know about Dreco, the
great herbal remedy. Which has mo
peer asa stomach remedy, and re-
lief for constipation: ~
Go today to your nearest drug store
they all sell Dreco and start the
treatment without delay. Dreco is
especially recommended in Sumter by

glad TO send Il circular on ginning
staple cotton to any one Interested.
7 We have had Il great deal O.. trou-
Bic recently With miX-packed cotton.
/. Most or the mixed 'pacRing is done
through ignorance and the farmers
are losing sums OF money by bringing
bales in with layers Of several differ
ent grades of cotton. Where cotton
OF two different pickings must go into
the same bale. it pays Handsomely to
raix the cotton thoroughly before
loaling. Many farmers think the
gins viii do this and put one kind Of
cotton in the bottom of the wagon
and another or: top. This always re-
suits in . two-s;ded bale. which
brings a low price. A bale of Tow
,niddling cotton all through is worth
more than q bale which IS half low
middling and half good :middling. for
a mill which is spinning low middlins
does not want the bright cotton to
go in with the blue. as it will result
in yarn Of varying color. I have
known of instances recently where
one sheetfult Of low-grade cotton was
put into a bale Of good staple cotton;
without mixing and resulted in loss
Of $50 to $50 per bale to the farm
er, whereas. it he had gone to the
trouble OF pouring the cotton all into
one pile and string it thoroughly with
forks, the sheet Of low grade cotton
would probably not have affected the.
value Of the bale more than cent
or two.
Staple cotton and short cotton
should never be put into the same
bale, Us no mill will knowingly buy.
cotton Of this kind and .consid derable.
loss to the mill results in getting
Eale of it into their work by acci-
dent.
