THIRTY-FIVE DAYS
"?
Tried simple home treatment?
now walks easily without cane
How the agonizing pain of an acute
attack of rheumatism was eased, and
recovery hastened is told in a letter
from John Smith of Shock, Ky.
"I was taken with a pain in my left
leg, and for thirty-five days I could
not sit up," he writes, "I got no
better until I began usingSloanvs Liniment.
Before I had used one bottle I
could sit up, and now I can walk without
a cane."
And it is amazing ?the quick, genuine
comfort that Sloan's gives. It
doesn't just deaden the pain. It stim
up the body to throw off the cause.
No need to rub even. A little Sloan's
patted on lightly?and a healing tide
of fresh, germ-destroying blood begins
tingling through the aching place. Before
you can believe it, the pain, swelling
and stiffness are relieved. Get a
bottle today. All druggists?36 cents.

PNEUMONIA FATAL TO DOG
Long Exposure in Cave Where He
Wuh Trapped CauHe of Death
Woodruff, Feb. 18.? Weakened by
moie titan one itundred hours in a
limestone cave where he wit* imprisoned
after chasing a fox into its den,
"King," Vandy Kelly'a fox hound die i
of pneumonia at fl o'clock this morn*
ii.g. King had been without food or
enter during the entire period of his
imprisonment in lite underground
pHs.*agc and iie contracted a severe
odd which developed into pneumonia
since la was removed from the
at '! in o'clock Thursday morning/
Skillful hands administered to King
during Ins last hours and everything
for Mis comfort was done while there
was life in the body of the faithful
animal.
The scene which attended the bringing
of the body to an undertaking
( tablixhrnent heie this morning was
pitlutic. din* remains were accompanied
by Vandy Kelly and his
brother Harvey, who made arrangements
to have the body embalmed.
King, however, may never be consigned
to a grave. His owners are
seriously eontcmplating placing the
body in a museum in one of the larger
cities where fie can be viewed by
thouands of pel sons who have evinced
mm interest in his rescue and who will
be saddened by his death.
His body will lie in state at a local
undertaking establishment until final
arrangements and a date set for a
gathering of nil those who had a part
in the rescue o! King. The group will
be photographed.
The^h.u helor brothers were visibly
affected this morning. They showed
the strain of the ordeal which they
had undergone during the long hours
of anxious waiting while a score or
more workers burrowed into the fox
den in an effort to release the imprisoned
dog, and the last moments spent
in giving him tender care in the effort
to bring back his health.
King was rescued from between
tortuous rocks where he had become
lastened after he had tracked his
quarry into the fox den and therein
engager! him in a struggle which resulted
in the death of the fox. Ring
was unable to make his way out of
the underground tunnel until Thursday
morning when Willie Nelson 19year-old
farm boy made his way
through the underground passage and
by the aid of a piece of iron with a
crooked end pulled the dog from the
crevice. Despite his weakened condition
he rushed from the place of
imprisonment into the arms of Ilarvey
Kelly who was waiting at the
mouth of the cave.
The dog went into the cave a week
ago Thursday night and was released
after days and nights of drilling and
blasting through hard limestone
strata. Kelly and his brother becoming
alarmed at the absence of the
animal instituted w search. They
sought the cave long known as a fox
den and began to investigate. Frequent
calls brought forth strong vigorous
barks, but Ring fastened between
two huge bowlders was unable
to extricate himself.
Next day a force of men was employed
to open the cave in the effort
to liberate the animal. One force
was employed during the day and
another worked the night shift. Volunteers
were numerous among the
hundreds of people who visited the
scene und men of smaller statue burrowed
through the cave's mouth until
within reach of the animal.
Hundred of people who had watched
the efforts of the workmen shouted
with joy as Ring came out in the
light of the lanterns. The dog was
carried tenderly to the Kelly home
and placed before a fire. Every effort
was made to nurse the pup back
to former strength but the strain was
too much and he died this morning in
spite of expert medical attention.
W. R. Gregory Dead
W. R. Gregory, well known and
successful farmer and business man
of Kershaw, died at his home a few
miles south of that place Thursday
morning after an illness of about two
weeks. Mr. Gregory at the time of

his passing will be learned of with
much regret by his many friends. He
is survived by his brother, Amos C.
Gregory, and his sister, Mrs. Thomas
IKackmon, and the following children:

toduy with restoring the heavy damage
brought by a four-day storin.
Citi/.uns of Venice, Long Heath, and

waters returned to clean out the mud
and salvage personal effects.
.San Diego remained cut off by rail
or highway communication although
special steamship sailings between
there and Los Angeles were in effect
today. Schools will be reopened tomorrow
in San Diego. The damage
in the city and to highways, homes
and crops outside is expected to be
heavy, while repairs started today
will require more than a week to restore
normal road service.
l.os A/ngeles estimated its financial
losses at upwards of $1,000,000, hut
outside districts found themselves un- j
able to compute the damage to crops,
highways, residences and the losses
from destroyed bridges over creeks
which are normally Handy washes.

' South Carolina fifth in Power
Washington, Feb. IK.?In a statement
issued here today by the federal
water power commission it is shown
that North Carolina, which heretofore
outranked South Carolina in total
waterpower, has been displaced by
the Palmetto State.
California, the commission .said,
"whioh becajne the leading state in
developed water power during 11)25
was more firmly entrenched in first
place January 1, 1927, leading New
York state, her closest competitor, by
about 1 GO,000 horsepower. Washington
state, which held third place since
1921, was displaced by Alabama, and
&outh Carolina displaced North Carolina
in fifth place.
South Carolina has come up from
eighth place in 1910 to fifth at this

There is much (but not enough) interest among farmers* cotton ' ,j
buyers and cotton mills in improving the staple as well as . the | <*1
production of the cotton crop. Coker's Pedigreed Cleveland Strain j |
5 is an ideal cotton for this purpose. It has been widely tested I
during the past year with the result that it has almost invariably I > ^
beaten all competing cottons in yield aind has generally made an " 1 j
ixtra staple commanding one to two cents premium. ^Heretofore,
the maximum yields in most tests have been made with varieties I /
of less than one inch staple, but Coker's pedigreed Seed Company f ' i
have now perfected varieties (including Cleveland Stmin 6) which w
not only make maximum lint yields but make a premium staple j
under average cohditions. Df - .
Mr. D. R. Coker has this to say of Cleveland Strain 6: "It ill ffi
triumph of cotton breeding. I know of no cotton heretofore intrp* ft]
duced which will be surer to make a maximum yield and an extra Jfi
staple. I have handled hundreds of bales of Cleveland 6 this Q!
season all of excellent character. Not one bale was under one inch M
staple and much was 1 1-16 inch, though all cottons stapled slightly jfi
shorter than normal this season due to very dry weather."?11 |
Can the farmer afford not to plant a cotton which holds out fli^
the prospect of maximum lint yield and in addition' a price one or Mi
two cents over short cotton? iD 1
Can the cotton buyer afford not to encourage the planting of ; (,1
a cotton which is in excellent demand by the mute and with which Df J
he can earn a reputation, for excellent merchandise? I, |
Can the mills afford not to help introduce into their local tarri- ft!... J|
tory a cotton which will give them a supply of excellent char- 1 j
metered full-length cotton right at. their doors' and thus free thetn- OS
selves of dependence on the West for their raw material! j '
