THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 4 *926. Diversification of Crops I Has Helped Williston-Elko Flying Death Williston, Jan. 30.—Willlston and surrounding country presents a fine example of what diversity along right lines may accomplish. . About forty years ago a northern man came into this section and • t planted out two acres of fasparagus pear Williston; to be exact, between Elko and Williston. From this small beginning this crop has steadily grown up to large asparagus shipping industry which bring* thousands of“ecTby these banktf, there being suf- dollars in return for the fresh aspa ragus which will soon be moving to Northern and other markets. Willis- U>n is the center of the asparagus industry, being headquarters of the South Carolina Asparagus Growers’ association, which handles shipments from surrounding territory includ ing ,quite a large area in which are some 6,000 acres of asparagus. There has been no spasmodic growth either in .this industry or in the growth of Williston, Elko and surrounding territory embraced in J this district. There has been a steady growth in wealth, industry and along all lines over the long period of diversification, including aspara- ; gus which offers^the larger field of any of the truck crops which are, grown as well as watermelons, can taloupes, cucumbers "fthd sdtpe other minor truck crops. The prosperity which has come to these sections re sulted from the method of farming and is well reflected in bank deposits shown. At present the total deposits qOhe two banks of Williston is $425,000.00. * "*, . ' ■ » Very little money has to be borrow- Night Coughing Quickly Stopped ^ N«w Way Simple But Vary Effective Night coughing, with its distressing loss of sleep and dangerous sapping of strength and vitality, can now be almost instantly checked through a simple but wonderfully effective treat ment that is economical, too. This treatment is based on the fa mous prescription known as Dr. King’s New Discovery for Coughs. For aston ishing relief make this test tonight before retiring:—Simply take one tea- spoonful and hold it in the throat foi ls or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and conges tion which are the real cause of night coughing. So with the cause removed, coughing stops quickly and you sleep the whole night through. The Dr. .Ring’s New Discovery pre scription fa for coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children as well as grown-ups —no harmful drugs. At all good druggists. Ask for DRjyiiCS CougHS ficient money to take care of needs of the community, which ^comes into circulation during several periods of the, year instead of only one, as un der the old system of all cotom'' Banks w-ant no better collateral than a lien upon well cultivated asr paragus; while under the old pfac- tice insistance was upon planting a large acreage in cotton, in order to be able to pay up in the Fall. Now all this is changed and the large acreage of all cotton is looked upon with at least some question, and neither banks nor credit merchants any longer insist upon large cotton acreage, but do want to know how much asparagus the ^farmer has, when the matter of financing comes up Williston-Elko.has recently built a consolidated high school which can not be excelled within the State for towns of same size. This building cost approximately $85,000.00 and is beautifully located on the highway passing through Elko and Williston. Besides this Williston-Elko high school both of these places have gram mar schools with highly efficient of fleers and teacers.. Williston has just completed a fine Baptist church costing about $75,000 Two other denominations in Willis ton,—Methodist and Presbyterian— have in contemplation buildings to take care of their growing congrega tions. The citizenship of this section is composed of the very finest type, largely descendants of original Scotch- Irish settlers, who have stayed on the land of their fathers and are con servative, intensely patriotic and con stitute the very finest type of Ameri can citizenship. Just recently Hydro-Electric power has come into this section and it is generally believed that this will re volutionize industries; and while ag riculture has heretofore been the prin cipal dependence, new industries and mahufactarTng is within sight, and already i» bringing new enterprises About your Health Thing# You Should Know.

A large ginnery is being installed at Windsor, which will also use “Juice” for power. There is already a large Ginnery at Williston, besides a crate and manu facturing plant which not only manu facture crates to take care of aspar agus and truck shipping from Willis ton-Elko and surrounding country, but ships car loads of crates of all kinds into other States each year. It is not generally known just how large and complete a crate manufac turing plant Williston has. Then there is a manufacturing plant for making Ford truck bodies, and for almost anything in this line, including furniture. In closing this pleasing story of Williston, it might be well to ask why it is that a steady stream of people who are constantly passing on every highway leading toward Flori da, have not found out the wonderful possibilities of our own section, and State, and do not turn aside and in vestigate some of the wonderful pos- ibilities of South Carolina, and par ticularly • this garden spot of the ■‘the South’s Asparagus Center.” Since the establishment of aspara gus Williston-Elko have grown from tiny hamlets to hustling towns full of pep, hopeful of the future, and of the time which seems not far away when these two towns will be one solid and continuous city. In keeping with its line of progress both in an industrial way Williston now has in sight a bakery of the most modern type. For. some time Williston and the surrounding com munity has felt the need of just such an enterprise and Mr. W. E. Prothro, one of the city’s’leading boosters, has spared no pains in the erection of this particular need. The Owens building to the North side of Main street the whole of which has Ijcen formerly occupied by the Southeastern Express company is now being remodeled and will be a most attractive and convenient loca tion for this industry'. 'It is understood that the machinery and all requisites have arrived l»nd within a very few days the bakery will be in operation. MONEY TO LOAN Loans made same day Application-received. No Red Tape HARLEY & BLATT. Attorneys-at-Law BamweiL S. C. by John Joseph Gaines, M. D DOCTORING YOURSELF. '' I cannot think of anything that it a greater menace to your phys ical welfare, than the hour when you attempt to diagnose your own disease, and set out to buy a ready- .- made cure fc>r it. You could hard ly assume a task that is fraught with greater danger. There is little common sense. A human being who does not know how to keep from getting sick, is a mighty poor proposition to take care of his own ailments when he does get sick. Yet there are dozens of people in most communities, who attempt to cure themselves upon that hypo thesis, that they know is wrong when they exercise reason. The profession of medicine is an honorable one, however unscrupu lous some of Its adherents may be. There are pirates on all seas where easy victims are afloat; and the most villianous is the buccaneer who preys on the sick and afflicted, under the disguise of respectability. And, there are people who are ever ready to sing the praises of “cure- alls” and furnish their photographs to clinch the evidence. Is that any valid reason why the stuff is good for you? • Most any kind of testimony can be bought for the price these days, from the people who sell them. A good thing to remember is, that every ache or. pain has a definite cause beneath it. And, unless you know what this cause is, and ex actly how to remove it, you had better leave treatment to some body who does know. Even a good physician when he is sick, and his judgment likely to be erroneus, will call his neighbor physician to help him out. No good doctor will trust his health or that of his fam ily to the mercies of the exploit er of the bottled' noatrum. He knows the value of prudence in the vital for the sick. Springfield News.
