SOUTH CAROLINIAN'S MILLION BRINGS COTTON LOAN FUND TO SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION An up-to-date remedy for coldo. That is what Paruna is. In successful use over 50 years. Colds are caught in many ways: Illy ventilated rooms; rooms that have direct draughts ; .crowded rooms; damp houses; stuffy school rooms; offices illy heated. A dose of Peruna at the right time, at the first symptom of cold, before the bones begin to ache, before the sore throat manifests itself, or the cough, or the discharge from the nose, just a dose or two of Peruna before these symptoms begin'is gener ally sufficient. But after the cold ts once established with the above symptoms prominent, a bottle of Peruna, or maybe two, will be necessary. "For several years I havo been troubled with colds at each chango of Beacon. I took Peruna and have not been troubled with tho slightest cold thin entire season."

NOT ENOUGH IN THE COUN TY FOR DEMAND NONE AVAILABLE But Few Planters Have More Wheat Than Needed for Con Sumption and Planting. "Where will Anderson county far mers get seed wheat enough to sow" was the question asked last night by ono well known business man while a discussion was going on as to the amount of whent to be planted this season by local planters. The speaker went on to say that practically the entire avallablo supply of seed wheat In Anderson county bas already been exhausted and Anderson planters have not yet begun to sow wheat. All told, not more than 10 or 12 An derson county planters have ever sow ed wheat on an extensive scale and each year they have been planting the same wheat Of the few in the county now sowing wheat to any considerable extent they bave been using . tho same seed used by their grandfathers for thc last 50 or 60 years and these men had but little soed wheat to offer for sale. Tin oughout tho country the same cry is being heard. "Seed wheat is scarce and we cannot supply the de mand." Anderson county's supply of seed wheat seems to have been sold out and when the planters prepare to BOW about 20 tigies as much wheat in this county as was ever produced here before, they will be up against the proposition of finding seed enough to >\ant. To BHO-/ that the situation ls se rious, Forman Smith, the wholesale sri ?innipn, whon gran yesterday and asked-by'a reporter for The Intelli gencer aa to the truth about wheat bciug scarce, exhibited letters where ho returned checks amounting to more than $400 during the last week to planters in the lower part of the State.
