I have been informed thai our people have been paying too much for fruit trees. I am selling all varieties of peach trees from 2 to 3 feet high at $3 per 100, less than 100 at.10 cents each.

Phone Pond Branch, Gilbert, S. C. Issues in South Carolina. SLands of their o*n for landless farmers, homes of their own for mill workers who live in houses belonging I to corporations, money at low interest rates for farmers, businesslike mar, keting of the farmer's produce, the 9^ good health of the mill worker's children and the education of every child in South Carolina?these are issues in ^ Soutti Carolina. They ai.d a few otber jjissues tonstitute a progressive pro- D' gramme for the people. J^.1 Who opposes them? Who dares op- qj rvnso t.hftm? f There are those in the State satisfied with conditions as they are. So long as ambitious politicians may be elect- g* ed to office by an electorate in large -Qj part dependent for homes on employers, why should they wish a change? What improvement in the condition of the people can possibly improve their condition? Sa Not all the politicians and office- gj seekers are selfish. Broadminded men who have at heart the progress and happiness of the people are still active in the affairs of the State. g^ The isues that we haye enumerated were discussed last week in the Conference for the Common Good. Polibe ticians did not participate in the Con- Q_ c*D ference and perhaps it is as well that di they refrained from permitting their be presence to lend to the Conference even a suspicion of political color. Nevertheless, the issues of homes, th _ * l li.1. l i j _ /? a _ _ 1*. oi neaiiiD, 01 aunoois ana or rural credits are before the people. We shall have ^ two groups of politicians in South Carolina. The one will stand for stagnation and tho other will stand for progress. Politicians who disparaged the Conference and would have choked _ it in its inception arrayed themselves against what the Conference stood for and worked for; against lands for the landless, against cheap money and good markets for the farmer, against the health of the school children and against the abolition of the slavery of ignorance.?Columbia State. UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGIST The Old Joke about "Something Just as Good." Doosn't Annlv to This Drug Store T] You have probably heard dozens of times the old story that a drug store was a place to "get something just as good.,, There is at least one druggist in the world that you can't say this about. It is certain that an inferior article will never be substituted for a guaranteed one by The Harmon drug store. Take for instance a safe, reliable remedy for constipation and liver trouble like Dodson's Liver Tone. This harmless vegetable liquid has proved so satisfactory a liver stimulant and reliever of biliousness, and to entirely take the place of calomel without any danger or restriction of habits or diet, that there are dozens of preparations springing up with imitations of its claims. But Dodson's Liver Tone is guaran- ^ teed to do all that is claimed for it, and if you are not satisfied with it, the Harmon Drue Co. will hand your money back with a smile. Any person going to this store for a bottle of 0 Dodson's Liver Tone will be sure of = getting a large bottle of this genuine remedy in exchange for his half dollar. adv. A Lemon Party. Miss Ernestine Barre entertained in honor of her house guests, Misses Marion McFadden, of Kingstree, Martie Boyle, of Sumter, Isabell and Mary Weeks, of Pinewood, a large number of her friends Friday night with a I "Lemon Party". Miss Marion Mc- I Fadden was the winner of the capital j prize and Miss Pearle Rhoden the booby prize. Misses Efird Entertains. On Monday night Misses Efird entertained several friends in honor of Miss Ernestine Barre's euests. with a "book cont9t". Misses Ernestine Barre, Martie Boyle and Mary Weeks . were the lucky ones, winning the cap- J ital prize, they cut for the prize which * Miss Ernestine Barre won. Rev. Mr. Schaffer won the gent's prize. ^ Paint and Not , Paint was never before so high as " last year: about 12.25 a gallon Devoe and a half-dollar less for trash. ^ What is trash? It looks like paint and pretends to be paint, but isn't worth painting. It I costs a painter's day's-work to put-on | a gallon of paint, good or bad; and a * painter's day's-work is $3 or $4. Add that to the price of a gallon. That is the cost of a gallon. "Devoe is |5 or $3 a gallon; and trash a half-dollar less. ? But Devoe is all point and more too; you add oil to it; a gallon is ft or (5 quarts of perfect painter's pot. But trash is three-quarters, two-thiids or half paiut ; you oav a half-dollar less for nobody-knows-what-it-is. 10 gallons Devoe is enough for the . :4- i- ~ 1. ^ir -~ Orv * 1 . ! .|uu, it unus JO iu gallons i 3 of trash. And the wear same way. j Unfortunately, they look alike when ! first put-on. DEVOE The Harmon Drug Co. sells it. j adv.
