County Ginnings Now
Surpass Last Year
Indications Are That Laurens County
Farmers Have Produced
25,000 Bales.
That the cotton crop in Laurens
county will prove to be greater this
year than last, is indicated by the
latest report on ginnings which shows
that there were 22,534 bales ginned
to Novmeber 14th, as compared with
21,486 bales to the same date last
year. All reports made prior to the
latest one this season showed the
county running behind last year, ow
ing to the rainy weather in Septem
ber, but §ince this report runs more
than 1,000 bales ahead it is thought
this crop will be greater.
The government report made on
March 1, this year, showed that Lau
rens county farmers planted an esti
mate of 75,000 acres in cotton in 1923,
made an average of 159 pounds of
lint to the acre, a total crop of 23,-
800 bales, worth $3,808,000 at a calcu
lation based on the price as of De
cember 1, 1923.
It has been generally understood
that there was more planted in this
county this year, but that the yield
is not quite so much per acre as last
year. However, if the present lead is
maintained there will be about 25,000
bales ginned in the county, maybe
■ir’''TBwr9r i 7«fe ‘Sy-n;
Another thing to be considered in
comnarine’ this crop with that of last
year is that a few ginneries near
some of the county lines were dis
continued this season and a part of
the crop carried across these lines to
other counties. All these compari
sons indicate a greater crop ih'this
county than last year.

Doctor: “Your bill is $650. Now if
it will be more convenient for you we
can arrange payments of $100 down

Patient: “Gosh—it sounds like buy

Doctor: “I am—all of them.”
Experience
Junior: “It’s a great life if you
don’t weaken.” , '
Senior: “Yep—but if you weaken
just a little—it’s greater.”
Dumb Dan Abroad
Dumb Dan: “The Russians are a
funny lot. I was riding in a train
there and a big Russian got in and
put his feet right up in my lap.”
Friend: “And what did you do?”
Dumb Dan: “What could I do?—1
couldn’t speak a word of Russian.”

Jones: “Bill Simpkins, conductor on

system.”
Decker: “So?—I haven’t heard
about it.”
Jones: “Wall, Simpkins collects
quite a few cash fares on his daily
trips. To determine jest who tlv~
money belongs to, he flips a coin. If
it’s heads, he puts it in the left pock
et. It it’s tails, he puts it in the right
pocket—and if it lands on the beh-

the company.”

Prospect: “Well—not too perman

“For heaven’s sake, where did you
come from?”
Stranger: “I’m sorry—but do you
know that’s the fifth time I’ve fallen

For Many a Clinton Household.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary
disorders, is enough to make any
kidney sufferer grateful. The follow
ing advice of one who has suffered
will prove helpful to hundreds of
Clinton readers.
Mrs. R. J. McCrary, 93 W. Main
St., says: “My kidneys began to
bother me. The -trouble got worse
until I could hardly go. My back
ached so badly I couldn’t do my
housework and sharp, cutting pains
caught me in my back whenever I
bent. Dizzy spells and severe head
aches causde a good deal of annoy
ance and I felt tired, run down, de
pressed and miserable, was in need
of something for my kidneys when
I started to use Doan’s Pills. This
medicine soon relieved me.” (State
ment given May 8, 1918).
On January 22, 1922, Mrs. McCrary
said: “Doan’s Pills cured me of a
spell I had one time. I used Doan’s
off and on for a little time after that
and kept my kidneys toned up. I
havent’ needed a kidney medicine in
some time.”
