Fort Mill township should get up a nice poultry show. There are not many townships in the State the size of Fort Mill that could beat In r in the p ultry industry, i have been around over the township a good deal and I ft: d that most every farmer has some nice birds that would show upas well as a great many thtit win blue ribbons at the different fairs A show al Fort Mill would do more to stimulate the industry in the township than al! the Mecklenburg fairs or even a York county fair. Of I course, a local show would help the county fair, if we ever have one. Al the present price of chickens and eggs we need to he stimulated to give the industry more at ten'ion. An association could be Jointed and a show given some time next spring, say in February or March, as t hat is the time most people decide on what breed of ctucUens they will raise that year. Asa .enetal rule the women attend the el i.-kcns and a show would give them an opportunity to see ill the different kinds iti the township. ? The raising of poultry is an industiy tom.d < n almost every .t in, as well as in the city yards. Th?- farmers' chickens find their iving in the waste products, and practically no expense is n'niid. There is more profit in this industry than any livciiulncl . 11 ?l..? v ? ? .tixiuut* j \'II vut iril all. I HI* >roiils on poultry range from 10b in 200 per cent, and tin re is no iiidn. Lry in the State that is d ve;oping more rapiuly. Up to .1 very few years ago little interest was taken in raising the allprofitable fowl. Of course, every farmer had a few chicki ns. hut he didn't know what ind they were unless they were itanies or domi Deckers. Kggs were then taken to market and 10 cents in trade was the price received. Today you get 50 c nts'for chickens and 35 cents : or i ggs. A great many men over the country are giving their full time to poultry raising and are meeting ui.lt marked success. A great many men of "ther couid l ies are found here engaged in the poubry business, and whenever you find a poultry man he has nothinu hut t he pure breeds. Fo 1 ti ink a show at Fort Mill would stimulate to a areat extent. Many utiks i?ggs 'or hatching are order* <i from a distance at a fancy price, when vour iieiglihor over the way has t'ne san e chickens ami y<>u could n e s ued hall *> i \o <r eggs if uni had known it. A poultrv /.now in Fort Miii would mean much to the industry ?n Loth the town and township. D. V. Epps. Gold Hill, Dec. 30. (Advertisement.) Could Shout For Joy. "I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart," wrote C. it. Ruder, of Lewisburg, W. Va., "for the wonderful double benefit I got from Electric Bitters, in curing me of both a severe case of stomach trouble and of rheumatism, from which 1 had been an almost helpless sufferer for ten years. It suited my case as though made just for me." For dyspepsia, indigestion, jaundice, and to rid the system of kidney poisons that cause rheumatism. Electric Bitters have no equal. Try them. Every bottle is guaranteed to satisfy. Only 50 cents at Ardrey's Drug Store, Parks Drug Co. and Fort Mill Drug Co. Wiil Not Move Chicora. Chieora college will remain at Greenville.
