When it comes to guessing at
the cotton crop it is about like

To the Women of the Pee Dee
Counties.
A Pee Dee Historical Society was
organized and ollicered at Florence
yesterday. It is composed of men of
such character as lo gi ye confidence
in its future succoss and usefulness
Such an organization moue much for
the future welfare of this section of
the State. Mure than any other sec
tion we need an organization of this
kind, for more than any other section
of this much neglcclcd stato, we are
overlooked io the writing of history.
But we need female auxiliary societies
for nothing is truer than that selected
assertion ol Talleyrand's: "If you
would accomplish any great thing in
this world, you must get the women
going." Wc wish to "get tho women
going'* in the Pee Dee country in aid
of tho Historical Society. Daughters
of tho Revolution and Daughters of
tho Confederacy should he organized
in every coi)pty of tho district. I shall
earnestly co operate with all aid s -
cieties in awakening sentiment, or
gathering material for tho preserva
tion and embodying in convenient
and enduring form the history of the
Pee Deo people. Hoping for carly
and encouraging reports from our
patriotic women,
I nm, respectfully,

I wonder If you remember my speaking

naya looked for her ?a my prayers, and
novor looked into* those large olear eyes
without a thrill. They always carried a
message of beauty and uplift for mo, and
f grievo that I ahall never look into their
depths nguiu. Tho aoul that looked out
from them I know must be still ia G.d'c
universe somewhere. It had ia it the qua%

Our girls wish to Bend Boinn flowers, as

FROM SMITHVILLE/
Dear Mr. Editor;-I think we
must say something about Smith*
ville. Crops are looking fine. Some
of the farmers have layed by their
crops while others are trying to
slay "general green".
The watermelons are sorry so
you see that wc have nothing for
the preachers but peas, young
chickens and peaches.
Mr. IJ. C. Chavis has thc finest
crop of peaches we have seen-thc
limbs ure just breaking off with
fruit.
We are glad to leam that Mrs.
Ella Smith, who has been sick is
improving. The health of this com
munity is very good.
The protracted meeting will
commence at Prospect tho fourth]

.U/HEN ASHCRAFT'S Condi
tion Powders are fed to horses
and mules, marked improvement
will be seen after the first few
doses. There is no doubt about it.
The Powders, acting directly on the
digestive organs, first thoroughly
cleanses the stomach and bowels,
correcting all disorders, and then
good healthy appetite comes nat
urally and surely. It is the most
powerful tonic and appetizer on
the market to-day, and when once
used horsemen will have no other.
Ashcraft's Powders produce that
silky sheen of coat and hair so
admired by horse fanciers. The
Powders fatten but never bloat.
Always high grade and put up
in doses-never in bulk.
By the use of three or four doses
a week your horse or mule will
not be subject to colic or any dis
ease of the stomach and bowels.
"I had an old horse tliat was In very "rad
condition tjeiierally. He was thin and had a
blood dlsea.se that waa causing tho hair to
come off. t pave tho horse three doses of Ash
crnit'a Condition Powders a day for seven days
and fed him liberally. Tho appetite improved
from the first few doses and the animal Rained
fifty-two pounds In Heall during the week I
pave lt three doses a day. Thc Bonoral health
of thc animal was greatly improved by the use
of Hie powders ana he was made almost a new
horse. I most heartily recommend Ashoraft s
Condition Powders,a? I know they are a splen
did tonic and appetizer.-C. C. BIKES, Livery
