^PACKING HOUSE PLAN
INCLUDES ALL PEOPLE
TDrangeburg, April 23.?Friday af"'xernoon
the committee in charge of
; plans for the packing house in Or
angeburg met and heard a report
' ' from the subcommittee that went to
Moultrie, Ga., several days ago to visit
Che packing plant there. This committee

' report of the subcommittee, to call a
:-^metitmg of the citizens of OrangeT
burg and other counties of South
^Carolina to come here on May 6,
when a big public meeting will be
held to decide upon securing stock
^and establishing a $150,000 packing
;v; plant here.
The subcommittee reported that it
wi^take $150,000 to erect such a
plant. At "sl meefing held in Orange'V
aurg sometime ago it was understood
Vnhat'$50,000 wojild suffice for this
plaritand that amount was raised in
one day. 'Hog and hoihiny" must
***? slntran in South Carolina and
the people of this town urgently in~*vite
the "business men and farmers
to come to Orangeburg on May 6 to
discuss this .packing plant business
- _and to take stock in the enterprise.
Orangeburgers have determined to
furnish the farmers of South Carolina
a modern packing plant and it
-will take $150,000 and they want the
people of South Carolina to have a
share in the plant. This is one of the
biggest things ever undertaken for
tne South Carolina farmer.

An nnn "" oc mnnv fls in

1914.
New Mexico official reports show
chat 360,325 cattle and 1,219,762
3heep were shipped out of that State
in 1915. Most of this stock was
-grazed on public lands, especially the
National Forests. On the Forest
ranges the forage crop is as much an
object of care as the timber crop,
and is increasing as a result of scientific
methods.
Approximately 85 per cent of the
losses of cattle on the National Forest
ranges due to poisonous plants
is caused by tall larkspur. Death
camas, lupine, laurei, sneeze wceu,
and rubber weed are responsible for
sheep losses from such cause, while
loco weed is the principal poisonous
plant" affecting horses. Last year
-the loss from these causes amounted
to about $300,000.
That wild burros in the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado are increasing
rapidly is the report from a ranger
on the Tusayan National Forest,
who says the little animals in their
search for forage are finding their
way to the top in such numbers as
to constitute a nuisance. Already
there are thousands of the animals in
the Grand Canyon from Supai to
the mouth of the Little Colorado, ac"
cording to the Forest ranger.
_ PRINTED STATIONERY PAYS.
You are judged by the stationery
vou use. Printed stationery is one
of the repuisites for a successful
.mail-order business in live stock,
poultry, plants, etc. Picture to yourself
a man who has answered your
advertisement and your competitor's
advertisement, holding in one hand
your letter written on a sheet from
a five cent tablet, and in the other
.hand the letter of the other man
written on neatly printed stationery
?will you or your competitor have
the best chance of getting his or.
tier?
It pays to name your farm, and
i have the name and an illustration of
- the kind of cattle and poultry you
: specialize in printed on your station?
sry. There are numerous firms that
: rtake a specialty of letterheads for
J'iarmers and their prices are very
reasonable. These firms will send
you specimen letter-paper so that
. you may get ideas for your own and
quote you prices. You can buy
printed letterheads and envelopes in
small quantities but it pays to buy
two or three years' supply at once.
Your local newspaper will also supply
you very reasonably.?The Pro

ALMOST WOHEEY MIRACLE
m ANDERSON WOMAN,
, <
MRS. KERNELS SAYS A MEAL ,
WOULD THROW HER INTO A |
CONVULSION.
! 1
[ "Before I took Tanlac, I would ,
have after each meal at least one attack
of stomach trouble that would
; be so severe I would be thrown into (
j a kind of convulsion, but now I '
, I have taken about two and a half bot- (
' ties of Tanlac, and that trouble has J
'gone entirely," said Mrs. Mary G.
j Kernels, wife of G. W. Kernels, of 1
i 18 Hammett St., Anderson, S. C. "I ?
i have gained ten pounds in weight f
; I and 1 am doing my housework, 1
though I was in bed continuously 1
Ifor six (6) weeks before I began i
taking Tanlax", she added. t
Mrs. Kernels is widely known ih j
the Piedmont section of South Caro- 1
! lina, being conected by blood or marriage
to a number of the best known i
families in Anderson, Oconee, Pick- j
ens and Greenville counties. i
Continuing, Mrs. Kernels said, in 1
. regard to her awful .suffering and in j
praise of Tanlac: t
1 "I suffered from a very severe t
form of stomach trouble for five (5) s
years and steadily grew worse des- i
pite all treatment. These attacks, r
which followed every meal, resemb- It
led convulsions and they were so very
, painful that they caused me to be- t
I come almost unconscious. Beginning 1

so sick 1 could do nothing around the e
house, and I spent the greater part a
of the time in bed or in a chair. c
j "Last summer 1 was twice operat- t
ed on, but that gave me no relief, t
iUnce I was carried to the hospital \
\ on Thursday, and it was the follow- i
ing Sunday before I realized where I c
was, so great was the a&ony I was c
suffering. /
I "un ine day before I began to
take Tanlac, 1 had one of these attacks,
which was particularly severe, h
and two doctors were called in. They I
told me my case was hopeless, and v
said tney knew nothing which would v
relieve me. They suggested that t
anothr operation on my stomach pos- t
sibly might give relief. I had tnen t
been in Ded six (6) weeks. My kidneys
also were in bad shape, Every- d
thing 1 ate soured on my stomacn. u
We nad tried everything we knew of b
which might relieve me, but had in- t
variably failed. t
"Finally, 1 was persuaded to take t
Tanlac. This remedy had relieved S
in a remarkable way tne indigestion
with which my daughter suffered. I
have now taken a little over two bot- 2
ties and have gained . at least ten i?
(10) pounds, a am doing my house- \
wors now, and only fifteen days ago C
did I begin to take Tanlac. I leel
nne in every way. C
"The very nrst dose of Tanlac 1
made the attack which followed my s
next meal much less severe, and ii
these attacks steadily grew less in ii
severety until, within a week, they
were gone entirely. It is almost a C
miracle, and only those who watched r
me as 1 writhed in pain can appreci- n
ate and understand just how I suffer- li
ed. I will never quit praising Tan- f
lac, for it did me so much good. S
| "I stay hungry all the time and
what 1 eat does not hurt me at all.
My food digests well now, and it is c
I nourishing me. It is really wonder- n
ful how Tanlac relieved my suffering p
and restored my health." J

been recognized as too transparent
and that the Americans "are now
tired of being bamboozled."

whether any cattle driver had

vhile crossing to Europe, then the
people in the White House are terri>ly
mistaken.
"Why do Americans choose ships
n which they can be hurt? Does the
American government deny there
ire rascals among America's sons?
f such rascals are paid with British
fold to make dangerous ocean trips,
vhy should Wilson make us responsive
for their lives. If Germany
ihould climb down, serious trouble
s bound to come from within. Gernany's
leaders prefer that the trou>le
should come from without."
Commenting on the American note
he Deutsche Tages Zeitung of Berin
says:
"Germany never will yield to Amirica
because of Wilson's bluffs. The
ittitude of the American press is in
omical contrast to the really effecive
power of that country. The
test methods of advertisement, of
rtrich Wilson is a master, wear thin

remains too long suspended we
an see it is only a wooden one."

Vilson puts Germany," says the
iiomale d'ltalia.
The whole press comments on the
lerman-American situation. The
.'ribune recalls that on other occaions
submission or rupture seemed
nevitable, but Germany succeeded
n finding a way out.
The idea Nazionale does not think
