It .was observed that ft heavy scum or greasy substance began ap pearing on.the surface of the water, moved each day, it readily reformed. Discussing this phenomena with ac quaintances, they became curious and began invetsigating and speculating on the probable composition of the substance. A newspaper which was saturated with the substance burned with explosive rapidity, which was sufficient evidence of oil possibilities to create considerable excitement. * Mr. Jackson was urged at the time to develop the prospect. This he has finally agreed to and states that a petition for a charter has been mailed the secretary of state, asking for a commission to create a corporation of about $100,000, the estimated cost of carrying the operations; to a definite conclusion and he hopes to begin oper ations soon. of the State Teachers’ association of South Carolina, has Just received instruction from W.

The snowy cotton is being gathered and the golden corn garnered. The farmers are exchanging the products of their fields for the coin an currency of the republic. Some will pay their billg in cash and carry home their surplus money to be kept in more or less insecure places. The farmer who is a business man^deposits his money in the bank, pays his bills with checks and has no worry as to the security of his surplus: The farmer--who dees has no difficulty in securing a loan when he needs one. This bank makes a specialty of giv ing satisfactory service to .farmer customers and invites the accounts of farmers who have not been in the habit of handling their funds thru a bank. The farmer who does so never regrets making the'change from the unbusinesslike cus tom of the many farmers , who do not have checking accounts. Take our advice, Mr. Far mer. It’s good advice.

S OME Thornhill owners constantly comment on die ease with which die wagon can be ‘‘ba6ked up.” This is due to the full circle iron. The ordinary circle is but t half circle (\j). Ip making a sharp turn bolsters often run to the end of die track and become derailed.” Thornhills cannot do this because their track is a circle ( O )• *... Others comment on the fact that in spite of tre mendous overloads, Thornhill axles n£ver break. The reason for this is plain. They use tough highland hickory—reinforced by a steel truss bar that extends the full length of the axle. Still others comment that the gears never get out of line. This unusual feature is due to one of their workmen’siriveriddhs. He designed a malle able front hound plate—boked to the gears at eight points. It’s literally a jacket of iron that holds gearsin line and insures light running for life. From hilly sections come reports that the old trouble of broken king boks is unknown among owners of Thornhill W|gons. This because uf b cup and saucer arrangement on die bolster that re&eves the king bolt of strain* To others the amazing featuTe is the long life of Thornhill beds—due to their location which gives diem the pick of the yearly cutting of wood and due, in part, to the fact that they paint with pure lead and linseed oil despite its high cost. ' Thousands of owners have found in Thornhills unusual strength where they are accustomed to weakness. . Let us show you this perfected wagon. (asm] FARMERS MERCANTILE -CO., Clinton, S. C.
