TELEPHONE ATTACH
MENTS OFTEN PROVE
TO BE HINDRANCES

Every now and then some new kline
of a telephone attachment is put or
the market. Ordinarily these new
devices" are more of hindrance thar
help and the unsuspecting purchaser
soon finds that he has been taken in
by some clever salesman. The tele
phone instruments used today through
out the Bell System are the result OF
developments covering a period of As
years. Constant, careful, scientific re
search on the part of the Bell System
experts has been devoted to the de
yelopment of the instrument.
AS a result, the telephone intru-
ments now in use today in the Bel
System are as near perfection as
modern science and the best mechani-
cal skill can make them, and the best
results can be secured by using the
instrument as 1t stands without the
addition of attachments of any kind.

DAVIS AND BRYAN
FRIENDS OF LABOR
BY w. 3. WILSON


Former Secretary of Labor, 1913.1921.
Information reaching Democratic
headquarters shows that large num-
bers of officials and members of labor
organizations are giving their support
to Davis and Bryan because of the
unequalled labor record Of the Demo
cratic Party and the fact that the
Democratic platform is the most favor
able to labor of any presented in this
campaign. and that both of the candi
dates have clear labor records.
More than a month ago the state
ment was given wide publicity that in
all of the public career of John w.
Davis not single word is cited or can
be cited antagonistic to the. ghts of
labor. In the face of strenuous cam
paign where even matters of minor
Importance are magnified, no one has
been able to point to any official act
of his that in the slightest way tar
nishes q record that has been con-
sistently favorable to labor.
In the light of these facts as they
become generally known and the
knowledge that citizenship Is personal
and every individual must be respons-
BILE to his own conscience and judg
nent for the proper exercise of the
franchise Davis and Bryan are daily
growing stronger with the wage-work
srs of the country and the great mass

The quick wit of a telephone ope-

J. M. Dorman, night clerk in Los

entered the hotel lobby shortly after
midnight. After the departure of the
robber, Dorman crawled within reach

Give Our Farmers
The Best oas

Sumter county loses a valu-
able employee and the farmers
of the county and ever loyal
and efficient aid when George
o. Marshall retires as county
agricultural agent December 30.
Mr.. Marshall, has handed the
Board of County Commission
efs his resignation, which they
haTe accepted-with regrets.
For several years Mr.. Mar
shall has labored early and late
to aid the farmers of Sumter
in solving the never-ending
problems that have faced them.
His advice and counsel have
been wise and helpful. Much
of the advancement of the
county in its Investigation pro-
gram is due to his efforts. Few
counties IN the South have been
so blessed as Sumter in her
county agent,
A successor will be difficult
to find. However, the Board
of County Commissioners
should secure the services of the
best the most practical agricul-
tural expert in the State - or
the South, for that matter.
Stlnter is a rich county as
compared with some. 1t can
afford the best. 1t CANNOT
afford to employ less. There's
too much at stake. This we be-
lieve the commissioners will see
and they will choose wisely our
next county agent.
The county is entering a new
era. from an agricultural stand
point. Old methods and ideas
are obsolete. Only the farmer
that runs his farm as business,
following hard-headed business
practices, can hope to succeed.
Farming profitably is hard at
best. 1t has not always been
possible. Therefore, the Sum-
ter farmer MUST be given the
highest type of agricultural ad-
wiser.
The county is just getting
we'll launched in its diversified
ton program. Nothing should
be allowed to interfere with it.
More cows, more hogs, more
poultry should be our slogan.
These viii materially help the
cotton farmer to meet his OBJ
legations and lay aside some
thing for tie rainy days. A
man capable of advising along
all of these lines is needed, and
there are none too many of that
type TO be had.
Bdtthere always is THE man
for the PLACE and it is vitality
essential that the commission
ers find JUST that man.

Cities Doomed

The modern city has done its
work The city has taught us
much. But the overhead expense
of living in such places is be-
coming unbearable. The cost
of maintaining interest on debts,
of keeping up water supply,
sewerage and great masses of
people are so great as to offset
the benefits of the city.
This is Henry Fords idea,
expressed in an interview in
Automotiye Industries Maya
zine. -
Ford says he believes that
sharp competition will compel
industries to move out into
small communities. Overhead
costs and living expenses would
be lower there.
Some years back, Ford ad-
vahced the idea of establishing
fss.hories in rural districts
where farmers could work in
their duh seasons of the year.
Growing most of his own food,
each industrial producer under
this system would also be his
own boss part of the time.

would be if industries owned

A remarkable new and simple

The treatment is based on the
prescription known as Dr. Kings
New Discovery for Coughs. You
take just one teaspoonful and hold

following with water. The prescrip-
ton has a double action. 1t not
only soothes and heals soreness and
irritation, but it quickly Ioosens
and removes the phlegm and con-
gestion which are the direct cause
of the coughing. People have been
astonished how quickly the cough
ing stopped, with this new treat
ment, and the whole cough condi-
tion goes in a very short time.
The prescription is for coughs,
chest colds, hoarseness, bronchitis,

for children as well as grownups-

as the dose is only one teaspoonfuls
