PRESTON, Feb. IA. - Lack OF
material has stopped the carpenters
from work on the High school build
ing here. If they had material it
would require only a few more days
work to get the building finished

The school has some needs, because
the last $4,000 worth of bonds that
were voted have not been sold. It
needs more furniture and fixtures
and also library.
The mid-term examinations will

Serious sickness often comes when
you least suspect. You may feel lit
tie overtired. You haven't been ex-
posed to contagion, yet all of a sud
den you are flat on your back and in
for siege of sickness.
Your blood did not have fighting
qualities. 1t was weak and thin.
Your vitality and powers of resist
ance were low.
When you overdo you use up en-
ergy. Your blood is driven to do
more than it can. 1t becomes clogged
with waste. The waste acts like
poison Disease germs get in your
blood and dominate.
Don't let yourself get run down.
Take that good tonic, Pepto- Mangan.
1t makes rich, red blood that will re-
sist and rout out disease germs.
Pepto-Mangan is widely and hearth
ly endorsed by physicians. IL is eff
fective and easy to take. Comes in

Dealers from seven Southern states
will be on hand to confer with dis
tributors and manufacturers, and the
motoring public of the South will be
well represented.
Several of the exhibits are to be

a dressing table with makeup equip
ment and wash basin. On the shelf
are books so that while scenes in
which Miss Pickford is not appearing
are taken she can retire to the car
and take a reviving nap or recline
at ease and read. Frequently on
location when the company has work
ed more than Is or Is hours, Miss
Pickford spends the night safely
slumbering in her car

SUMTER PEACHES
NOW In BLOSSOM
Orchards To Be Mass Of
Pink This Week
Peril In Earliness

The peach trees are poisoning
everywhere in Sumter county. Urban
Automobiles of Sunday who had not
bee nj the country for several days,
were amazed to see the blossoms
coming out on the peach trees in all
sections. Many trees were half open
ed, with the remainder of the buds
ready to pop out, and with day or
two of bright warm weather such
as is being experienced the orchards
will be masses of pink before the
week is over.
The poisoning of the peach trees
is unusually early this year, being
due to the mild and open winter,
there having been almost no tempera-
lures as low as freezing since the
first of the year. The earliness of
the season puts the 1921 peach crop
in real peril, as it it will be the great
est good fortune if a freeze that
will damage or kill the young fruit
does not come between this date and
Easter.
On the other hand, if the mild
weather continues, and the young
fruit remains unchanged, the result
will be an extraordinarily early crop
for shipment, which will mean good
prices and welcome cash rolling into
Sumter county.
That the Sumter peaches are farth-
err advanced than those of the Fort
Valley sections is indicated by the
following news dispatch in Monday
mornings Macon Telegraph:
at is the general opinion of the
peach growers of this section that if
hard freeze swooped down upon
the orchards now there would be no
injury to the 1921 fruit crop in its
present state.
"The trees have advanced rapidly
the past week but the buds are not
sufficiently full to receive injury
from cold. A real cold spell would
be welcomed here for it would hold
back the young fruit until season
has advanced enough to be sure of
safety from a freeze when the buds
of young peaches would suffer there
from.
''In this immediate section the peo-
pie are banking heavily on a good
peach season and are making then
plans accordingly, though it is the
idea of every grower and shopper tx
handle his crop much more econom
ically than for the past ten years OF
more.
"Much of the 1921 fruit will
doubtless be shipped in baskets and i
is expected that labor will be mucl
more plentiful and cheaper than ha
been the case in recent years. "
