Pickens a Good Corn County The "Corn Number" of the Clemson College Agricultural Journal contains some interest ing facts andifigures asto corn production in South Carolina.

Charleston, Cherokee, Chester, Dorchester, Fairfield, Georgetown, Green., wood, Kershaw, Lancaster, Marion, Oconee, Richland, Sal uda or Union. That year Orangeburg made the largest production 1,112 863 bushels. This is a splendid corn county. What Jerre Moore did in Marle boro County can be done in Pickens county.

It Pays to' Advertise As aln evidence that it pay: to ,,advertise attention is caller to the award of the articles of fered to the highest bidders by Hammond- Brown-Wall Co., of Easley, in an Advertisemeni which this firm has been run ning in The Sentinel for aboul two months. If you will refer to last week's or any previous issue of this paper within the last two months you will notice that this firm offered a piano, an organ, a sewing machine, a steel range and a victor talking machine to the one making the highest bid on or before 11 o'clock May 10th. The only condition was that the bids should be written, sealed and marked and addressed to them, and these would be opened by a disinterested committee after the above date and the awarde made to the ones making the highest bid, who was obligated to take the article bid on and pay for same. The time was up last Satur day and on Monday the com mittee met, opened the bids and made the awards, as follows. The highest bidder for the piano was H. J. Waif, Athens, Ga. For the organ, L. A. Perry, Easley. For the sewing machine, Leroy Winchester, Twin Bi'dges, Montana. For the steel range, J. M. Robinson, Columbia, S. C. For the \ictor talking machine, L. H. Pratt, Twin Bridges, Montana. This is the most convincing proof that it pays to advertist and especially in The Sentinel, It is seen from this that people in Pickens County. in South Caiolina., in Georgia and in fat Montana read The Sentinel and read the advertisements in it. It is the best advertising mediun in the County and' Its readers are not limited to this county but are to be found in almost every county in this State and in'almost every State. Everyone who has anything for sale or exchange could not find a better way of disposing of it than by the judicious use of a little printer's ink through the columns of The Sentinel. It will pay you. Try it. Evans Disbarred From: Law Practice Barnard B. Evans an attorney~ of Columbia, and two timeE candidate for attorney general, was indefinitely suspended fromr the practice of law in this state by the Supreme Court of South~ Carolina last Friday.
