C.: p THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1909 e - B Pnipkiutown Telephone Co, n An innovation in the tele h phone line of the county is the lines now known as the Farmers lines, which the Bell people are inaugurating. Several farmers in a community get together tj and build a line and get their T connection at some exchange, ( thus enjoying the same privi leges that the city subscribers n( do. Mr. Webster, of the Bell Tel ephone Co., has been in Pickens county for several weeks and o has worked up considerable in terest in these lines and last ti, Friday he organized the Pamp- I, kintown Telephone Co., with sti Matthew Hendricks as president. C' The line will run from Amos th Sutherland's store to Pickens, '. by way of Griffin church, and st has a dozen subscribers but the f probability is that quite a fe number of citizens along this ti route will connect with them as the line is being put up. The dc promoters feel sanguine that at least 30 subscribers will be con nected up by the time the line is completed into Pickens. Mr. Webster is now working in the western part of the coun- se ty and it is very probable that a line from Six Mile to Pickens will be in operation by summer, H as well as some other lines that b are now under consideration. 15 A Farmers line has bee . - cently established. fro Easley out into the Geor ' s Creek sec tion of the coi y. Senator C. 5 H r is on this line and . shc company a very strong testimonial, which is as follows: "As a matter of fact, it is diffi cult to understand how we ever did without telephone service, when its value and convenience e is considered, and the cost so low in comparison. "I hope to see the time when every farmer will have a tele- E phone in his home. Its uses are so varied that there is scarcely , a farmer who could not use tel ephone service to an advantage. t The mere presence of a tele- i phone -a the house gives one a i feeling of safety when away y from home, and the knowledge that an emergency may be C promptly met is more than a worth the cost of the service." d We are particularly enthusi- S astic over this Farmers line de velopment and when the people y realize the benefits and import- , _ance of these lines they will have the county well covered with lines connecting with the various exchanges in this coun ty. _ _ _ _ _ _ 001, JollR T, Sloan Dead Col. John T. Sloan died on the Southern railway train atr Greensboro, N.

There are many who will mourn with his family the passage of one of South Carolina's sons who fought for their state in the days of the war between the states and the darker days of fa radical rule.

The retail drugga.i this country, as a class, are noted'ro their high standard of intelli gence and honorable dealing but it is a well known fact tha occasionally you will hnd on who will try, to sell you some thing else when you call for remedy of established reputa tion. He forgets that you health is more important thai his pocketbook. For example, when you asl for Dr. Kilmer's Swanmp-Root the great Kidney, Liver an< Bladder Remedy, don't let an3 druggist, drug clerk or store keeper persuade you into buying something else in its place Every time he succeed in selling you a worthless substitute h< makes more profit, but you art humbugged at the expense o your health. For many years we hav< watched with much interest th( remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root From the very bEginning, th< p roprietors had so much confi dence in it that they invitet every one to send for a sampl( bottle so that people could judg< of its great curative value ir 0 $ The Doctor's First Question "How are your bowels?" This is generally the first ques tion the doctor asks. He knows what a sluggish liver means. He knows what a long list of distressing com plaints result from constipation. He knows that headaches, bilious attacks, indigestion, impure blood, and general debility are often promptly relieved by a good liver pill. We wish you would talk with your own doctor about this subject. Ask him at the same time if he approves of Ayer's Pills. Do as he says. I.
