.Mr. s. is, Honey,
i.aureus, s. o.
Dear Sir: I thank you for the copy
of the Laurons Advertiser of the IT.th.
containing paragraph of tin- Merc*
hauls' Association! since the meet
ing at Greenville, 1 have had occa
sion to he in Bpartanburg, Union,
and other places. 1 lind that there
is an opening in every line for an or
ganization working on the plan of
our Greenwood Ass'n. Besides main
taining a department for the rating
of all credit risks, and a clearing
house for handling all had accounts;
at our monthly meetings we handle
all matters for the betterment of the
town, or of trade conditions, that
would come within the scope of a
Chamber of Commerce or a Hoard of
Trade. In other words we have
Combined these features under separ
ate departments, and run the whole
under the same management. This
enables us to keep a competent person
constantly employed to look after all
these matters, systematically.
I am making my plans to organize
each county on the plan of this
county, ami to have a State organiz
ation in Which all the counties will
lie aillliated. In nbOUl 10 days. I ex
pect to begin mailing my prospectus
to interested parties in ench town, ami
my idea is to begin to work where
most urgently called, working up the
organization in each county the same
as I have done here. If you think
Well of it. 1 would lie pleased Indeed
to send you my printing matter, and
have your cooperation in working up
the organization in Laurons.
On the 8tll. of this month was the
first quarterly meeting of this organ
ization since we hegan business, Our
financial statement showed a profit
of nearly L'? per cent on our capital
Stock id' $418. after deducting for
all expenses, which was a good show
ing for a new concern just starting.
Hoping to bear further from you, 1
am. Yours very truly.

tically clothed her son':, company, and
hone in all the southland was muri
self-sacrificing or courageous.
The weekly visits of The Advertiser
are my weekly treats. I could not do
without it; it is like seeing a face
from home. | go( all the home news
and read it before laying it down.
There is only one New York, and I
am enjoying it to the utmost. My
business is pleasant and prosperous.

my truest friends many of the finest
business women and most successful

tecture and art. It is a wonderful
experience.
Congratulations and great success
to The Advertiser.
Sincerely,

THE WILLIAMSON PLAN
By Chas. Petty
"' ft ft** *-** ft ft ft ft ftft*ft ft vfl,x.-ft*** ??
in the first place thorough prepara
tion is required. The toi* soil is
shallow with little humus in it; pre
pare by breaking two or three; inches
of the clay and mixing with the soil.
! That preparatory work should bo
done at on< e. Turn the land and
follow the subsoller. Harrow oc
casionally, if it gets hard. If dis
posed to wash put terraces on a level.
If you have a good crop of grass and
weeds to turn under so much the
better. All of our uplands cleared
years ago need humus. When that
Is abundant the land acts as a sponge
and absorbs and stores up the rain
as they fall. Such land Suffers less
III the wet weather, or dry, than land
scratched over. Do not think you
know more than fanners who have
succeeded with this plan. Some peo
ple, say their plan is best and they
put in a part of the fertllizler when
they plant. Others say G-foot rows
are a waste of land and they make
?I or 5-foot rows. Such farmers arc
not often heard of at gathering time.
Stick close to the plan and when
you succeed at that, get up a better
one and the corn growers will call
you a benefactor.
After the laiAl has been well pre
pared and received the benefit of the
frosts and winter rains, it is ready
to plant. He sure that you never
touch the land with a plow when it
is too wet. Some time in March lay
olT your rows as nearly on a level as
possible. Ho not come an Inch up
der six feet. Bed with a two-horse
turn plow, leaving the last furrow till
planting time. In the Piedmont
plant the com as soon after the 25th
of March as the weather and moisture
will permit. Do not plant in hills.
If you do you will lose by it. St row
(lie corn along so that when it comes
up there will be enough to get a stalk
exactly where you want it. Do not
add an ounce of fertilizer when you
plant your corn. Cover it about two
inches deep. Being low down in
that deep middle furrow the April
frost will not hurt it after planting
your corn, then proceed with your
cotton and plant and thin it and give
it a second cultivation about the last
of May turn your attention to the
corn. If the weeds and grass are
growing too much In the middle, run
one section of a steel harrow over it
the loth to 15th of May. That will
check or kill the grass. A one-horse
cultivator run twice will (dear the
niiddb s. Hut do not touch the corn
till May 25th to June .'.th. If the
stalks are small and even yellow, do
not be alarmed. When time to culti
vate conn s, let the corn be thinned
leaving a stalk JuSt where you Want
it.
Decide libw much you wish to the
acre. Men who have not tried the
plan should not aim too high the first
time. Try for forty bushels and
make It. You will feel 80 good that
you will go for sixty next year. If
you plant corn with a largo ear, deep
grain and small cob. 80 ears may
make a bushel. Hut when all the
ears are a vor ago size count a hundred
to the bushel. It will take 125 to
to 160 ears of the rollflc varieties.
On thin land that would make six to
ten bushels of small corn without
fertilizer, do not plant for more than
.10 to 40 bushels. Land has to be
brought up by degrees.
If the soil Is thin and devoid of hu
mus begin with the hills two feet
apar,t. That should make 30 to 35
bushels. As the land Is better in
crease the fertilizer and the yield.
{The following Is the number of hills
J to the acre:
Six feet by 24 Inches 3,630.
Six feet, by IS inches 4,840.

Perhaps it never occurred
to yotl that a defect in the
sight is not as a rule a disease
of the eye. So often it is a
condition which the proper
glasses will not only relieve
but many times entirely
cure. Sight is restored,
eyes are made strong, head
aches disappear, the nervous
strain is relieved and the
eyes are saved perhaps from
blindness. If you have eve
