WITHOUT APOLOGIES

This number of The County Record
which is equal to four regular issues
had its origin about the time Billy
Boil Weevil struck the county early
in the fall, and, realizing the urgent:
necessity of getting on his trail with
out delay by pointing out to our
farmers ways and means for combat
ting him, We employed a gentleman,
we'll known throughout this section
of the State as a solicitor in newspa-
per work to do some special work
along this line for The County Rec
ord. We also requested some Of the
leading agricultural men in the South
to furnish us articles dealing with
the situation in which our county has
been placed by the advent of the boil
weevil, reducing the prospects OF oul
chief industry-cotton raising-to q
minimum in the future These gentle
men, Mr.. Geo. R. Wheeler, Of the
South Carolina Landowners associa,
ton; Mr.. w. E. Winters, Mr.. w. M
Goodman, T. NJ. Cathcart, county
agent, and Mr.. Geo. A. Caldwell, agri'
cultural and industrial agent of the
Atlantic Coast Line, who is one OF
the best posted men along these lines
in the county, have very kindly COM
piled with our request and we fee
sure that the articles appearing un'
der their respective names in the pa.
per will prove of inestimable Benefit
to our farmers and the people of the
county in general. The business men
and banks of Heminway, Greelyville
Lanes, Cades, Johnsonville, Salters
and Kingstree have made this spec
ial issue of The Record possible by
their ready and liberal support
through the purchace of advertising
space necessarily sold at rate much
higher than our usual price.
We have no apology to make fol
the paper this week to any one who
might feel dissatisfied with it. We
hope on the other hapd, that in a
measure, at least, it will serve the
purpose for which it was undertaken
and is intended.

The Genuine.

There is really no reason why men
or women with thin, watery blood and
consequently poor health should re-
main in that unfortunate condition.
Thin, nervous, rundown, tired people
never get much happiness out OF life
Men and women with the bloom OF
health in their cheeks, cheerful,
sunny disposition and an attractive
personality are the folks who get most
of life's enjoyment, pleasure, and sue
cess.
Guides Pepto-Mangan furnishes
thin, watery blood with the necessary
nourishment to enrich it, enabling ii
to supply energy, vitality, ano
strength to every part of the body.
Physicians recommend Guides Pep
to-Mangan to patients suffering from
anemia because its beneficial and last
ing qualities are well known to the
medical profession.
Guides Pepto-Mangan is obtainable
in either liquid or tablet form. Botf
forms contain exactly the same
strength and medicinal properties.
When you buy -Mangan Of
your druggist, be sure the name
"Gude's" is on the package. Without
"Gude's" it is not Pepto-Mangan.

COMES HIS TROUBLES-FEELS
FINE ALL THE TIME

One of the noteforthy features II
connection with FERROLAX, and the
one that stands out more prominently

of men and women from different
parts of the south who have recently
reported astonishing results from its
use.
One of the most recent to testify
to the good results obtained from u.s.
ing FERROLAX, is Mr.. c. D. Henry
who lives at 269 Lake Ave. Atlanta
Ga. While in conversation with Fer,
rolax representative a few days ago
Mr. Henry said:
"For several years have been suf'
fering with indigestion and stomach
trouble. Not being able to eat the
substantial food l needed to keep me
going, | became badly rundown,
felt tired and worn out all the time
and my blood was not as healthy as
it should be.
"After taking many other medicines
without relief, | commenced taking
Ferrolax, and / just want to say
right here that before l had finished
my first bottle of this medicine
knew that l had struck the right
thing at last.
"Well, to make long story short
Ferrolax fixed me up all right, and
am now enjoying the best of health
| am free from indigestion and stom-
ach troubles, and never suffer
particle from constipation, l have
plenty of good, rich, red blood in my
veins now and just feel fine all the
time. I gladly recommend Ferrolax
to everybody"
