 During the first days sale there was a rush for rare Argentine, Brazil ian and Bolivian issues.
 United States issues included the only known cancelled copy of the Franklin Carriers" brown organge error, of 1851, the Livingstone (Ala. bama) 5c blue, of 1861 and three blocks of the new U. S. A. soc and soc issues, of 1869, with flags inserted.

THERE Is VICOR

"a Blood Builder

Vigor and strength have as their
base rich red blood. Blood is rich
when there are plenty of red corpus
cles. They are the tiny red cells which
swim in blood and give it its color.
Without red corpuscles blood would be
white. When overwork, or straining,
or illness weakens the blood. ii dimin-
ishes the number OF red cells. Without
Il sufficient number of red cells the
blood becomes watcry, the body weak.
Vigor and strength fall off, so that
physical life diminishes like fading
plant. The physical pleasures of eat
ing and sleeping and exercise lose all
attraction. There is no zest in living.

MONEY. IN NUTS
Fort Mill Man Making Success In Pc
can Growing Industry.


That no finer pecans are to be OBJ
tanned aywhere in the country than
those frt m the grove of b. NJ. Lee,
two miles' south of Fort Mill, is the
consensus of opinion of many people
" no have seen the size and tasted the
quality OF the nuts Mr. Lee has offer
ed for sa he in limited quantities on the
local market within the last two or
three weeks, says the Fort Mill Times.
The yield from Mr.. Lees trees was
hrger this year than in any year since
he, plante, the first of his grove sew
er;u years ago, but there was such n
der pand for the nuts that he was able
to offer Only a small part of his crop
for sale locally.
Exc ept his nearest neighbors, not
very ! many people even in Fort Mill
townsh ap perhaps know of the eX-
tent Of: Mr.. Lees pecan grove. Sew
eral years. ago he set out $50 trees,
which are now bearing. Last year he
added 107 trees to the original grove
and is just now putting in the ground
40 more. His oldest trees were set out
about IL years ago and the average
yield from a number, of these this year
sold for $25. He found ready sale in
Rock Hill and elsewhere for the pc
cans at so cents per pound.
Mr.. Lee is an enthusiast on the sub
iect of pecan growing and to- The
Times expressed the opinion few
days ago that the industry offered the
farmers of this section an avenue OF
escape from the damage the boil wee
them, For, said he, there is an ever wi
dening market for choice pecans at
good prices.
But the pecan is n nut which can
not be grown overnight" he contin-
ued. ut takes time, patience, good
trees set in good soil and constant
care of the trees to make them bear
successfully. The life of pecan tree
is unknown. In San Antonio, Texas.
there is q mammoth pecan tree which
is estimated to be 21S years old. Last
year it produced 35 bushels.
Pecan trees do not produce their
fullest and most abundant crop until
they are about 25 years old. They be-
gin to bear when they are about five
years old, but when they are young
crop cannot be depended upon every
year. But at THAI, it is interesting to
calculate how profitable pecan grove
may be at the age of 25 years. Figur-
irg 100 pounds per tree, with 90 trees
to the acre, making 1000 pounds of
nuts per acre, at so cents per pound,
it will be seen that the yield from the
acre will bring in $1,000. l never
heard of any cotton farmer being able
to do so WELL"

MOVING TO MEXICO
100000 Mennonites Are Soon to- Leave
Canada.

Canada.
One of the largest migratior*' OF
Christian people of modern history Is
that of, about 100000 Mennonites 52'-
900 families, from Canada to- Mexico
which will begin in December. Thetr
trek is expected to last two years. \
The Mennonites for the past year
have been looking for new home
claiming unjust treatment in Canada
during the World war. Eight nations
have invited them. Land "sharps,
boomers" and others have tried to in
fluence them.
After dozen trips to Mexico, dur
ing which representatives conferred
with President Alvaro Obregon and
officials Of the Mexican immigration
service the leaders almost decided to
settle in Mexico. Then editorials from
various sources, save Mexico, de-
clared the Mennorites were making
a mistake" that religious freedom
which they have sought could not be
guaranteed them under the Mexican
constitution. Another trip was made
to Mexico and state and national gov
ernments assured the Mennonites that
they could worship God as they
pleased, and they could hold all the
terets of their religion and could en-
ter that country and make their per-
manent home.
Canadian Mennonities hold the
same ibelef as early members of the
sect which settled in the United
States-that of non resistance. The
Mennonites, in defending their belief,
declared that they suffered less in the
early days at the hands Of the Indians
than did others who waged warfare
against the savages.
Refuse to Fight.
The Mennonites still refuse to en-
ter any war. ,.-.. ....
Another peculiar custom of these
people is the washing of feet They
say that the command of Christ to the
woman to wash His feet stands on
the same spiritual level as His. acts
of distributing food and drink to the
hungry and thirsty. To the Mennon-
ties the story related b@St. Luke is
comparable to the ones other Chris
tians regard. including the Sacrament
and Communion.
Community property is another be-
lief of some Mennonites, although 1t is
not general. The members Of the sect,
cooperate in building roads, school
houses and churches.
The removal of the Mennonites to
America came about when William
Penn had been granted land for his
Quaker followers. He was told Of
Mennonites who had fed from Ger
many to Holland and his Quakers
came to their aid. The Quakers are
credited with helping them financially
and in coloniziug parts of Ohio, In
diana, Kansas, Nebraska and South
Dakota. Later, colonies were estab-
lished in Saskatchewan ana other
parts of Canada. During the past
year few of the sect have settled in
Florida.
For years there were fourteen indie
pendent bodies Of Mennonites, but
years ago the sect were reunited.
The Mennonites will settle in Chi
huahua and Durango, principally in
the former state. Options have been
taken on land in both states and i'm
provements are beiEg made on one
large tract. the Bustilos hacienda or
ranch. near Bustillos and Chihuahua
City, The colonies have paid $4,000
pesos to hold this tract, the money be-
ing on deposit to the credit of the
