Suggests a Poultry Show.
) Editor Tort Mill Times:
For some time I have been
! thinking- of writing to you and
' asking for enough space for an
article about the poultry industry.
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.

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. This was decided
Monday when the board of trustees
of that institution met in
Columbia at the Columbia Theological
seminary to canvass the
vote of the seven presbyteries of
South Carolina Synod.
I WKH to assure you that you can

transactions that might have led you
to become skeptical, for in 15 years'
experience there are to be found plenty
of these cases, hut in the final summing
up you will find that you have been
dealt by justly. My prices are fair
and much more reasonable than you
imagine if you would reelize that I
must carry the very best quality of
drugs in order to cater to the demands
of physicians. I absolutely refuse to
have anything to do with f:? ;e medit
iocs or any that have not established
a reputation for merit Every reputable
medicine is sold by reputal le
dealers somewhere and i:p< n riqut t 1
can obtain any such article rot carr.ed
in stock upon short notice, and the
coining of the parcel post will make
th > facility much more convenient than
formerly.
