^RQLL WEEVIL'S ENEMY.
If the people of this State will listen
to facts they will nut be hurt by the
boll weevil, 'if thev <lo not give heed,
they may suffer. But the weevil would
a not have done much harm In some parts
f of South Carolina that we have seen.
.. The cotton did not come up nt all and
- there was an excellent crop of crab
t grass which provident farmers cone
verted Into hay. We t>elleve the hay
crop this year will be the l?est In the
il country's history. The peavlne hay
crop Is nearly twice as large as the
I best fomer crop.
s According to the Hurtsboro, Ala.,
Tribune a farmer who owned a banker
- took me name ninu to Ills rnrui
y ami i>oiuted out 100 acres In i>eniiuts.
s The hanker was so im|>essed with the
I wonderful sight that he mude tlx1
t farmer the proposition to cancel his
h *iote and give $5,000 additional for
' the peanuts as they stood. The furiner
accepted. Already the hanker has
y sold the iteanuts for $0,800 and has
' $1,800 worth of fliie hay on hand.
II The holl weevil cannot?resist such
an offensive as peanuts and peavlnc
'* hay. He knows hut one method of
" attack and the wise man will find a
way to take that line of fighting away
y from Mr. Weevil. Diversified crops
Is the answer.?Columbia Record.

fcle upon reaching its 21st hirtlulay.

AGAINST USING CALOMEL
The sicken I iif?, naifseating feeling
hat follows the use of calomel is the _
natural result of disarranging your
Mitire system. Doctors everywhere
ire agreeing hat the action of calomel
Is much too strong, and leaves the
liody sick and weakened.
Liv-Ver-Lax is a wonderful substitute
for calomel, that has all of its
good effects and none of Its bad ones.
It. acts soothingly but thoroughly on
the liver, cleansing it of bile, and ridding
the entire system of stagnating
{Kiisons. I
Liv-Yor-Lax Is strictly a harmless
vegetable compound, and Is guaranteed
to give satisfaction or your money will
