A man is more likely to savo his money If he has started putting his surplus in a bank; and it is a great convenience to bo able to make payments by check. When you pay a bill with cash you may have no record of Its payment; but a re turned check with the payee's en dorsement on tho back constitute; a good receipt. Not all farmers who have started bank .accounts however, are as careful as they should be 111 writing Checks, We have just receiv ed a check on subscription written In lead pencil. .No cluck should ever be written In pencil.

Washington, Jan. 9.?Enormous profits of the First National Hank of New York were recounted today by Goo. F. Baker, chairman of the board of directors of the bank, as a wit ness before the house money trust committee. Mr. Baker furnished the committee with records showing that since its organazatlon in 1863 with a capitalization of $500,000 the bank lias made profits amounting to more than $SO,000,000. In the four years since 190S, Mr. Raker told the committee, the bank had paid dividends of 226 percent or more than twice the total capitali zation which is now $10,u00,000. When the capital was increased to that amount in 1901 a special div dond of $9,500,000 was declared, to enable the stockholders to take up in order to provide $10,000,000 of capital for tho organization of the First FiOuritios company to take over the business "which the bank could not do under the law" Mr Baker said "a special dividend of ten million was declared." This was in addition to the regular yearly dividends. 18,550 Ter (cut Dividend. Samuel Untormyor, counsel for the committee, from the figures suppll I id by Mr. Baker, calculated that since ho assumed the presidency of tho First National in 1873, that institu tion has paid dividends of 18,550 per cent on its original capitalization. Mr. Baker flatly opposed tho sug gestion by Mr. I'ntermyer that na tional banks be roqutrod to make public their assets in order that de positors anil stockholders might know the nature of securities hold by the hanks, the witness declaring that he saw no possible good that could come of such a provision. That there is 10 impropriety in OHO man holding 'ircciorship in two or more poten tially competitive banks, railroads or industrial corporations was another stand taken by Mr. Maker. Mr.Un tormyor rovlowod with him a long list of railroads, in which he was a director some of which the lawyer held were potentially competing lines Mr. Baker declared that it was rather an advantage to hold such director ships, because differences between the companies thus lie readily ad justed." "Such a situation," he continued, "as often beneficial to all parties con cerned." Mrs. Mamie Stewart Peden. Fountain Inn, Jan. 11. Mrs. Ma mie Stewart Peden, wife of A. S, Peden of Fountain Inn, was burled today in the cemetery here.

The end did not come as a surprise, but her loss will be keenly felt, not only by the large number of relatives, but by the many friends, who loved her for per sonal attractiveness and noble Oh. p tlon qualities. Resides her busbai she is survived by one son, J. C. Ped en, who is pursuing a medical course at the University of Pennsylvania, and by two daughters, Mrs. J. E. Manning and Mrs. J. R. Kellctt. ACTS ON THE LIVER. Dodson's Liver Tone Livens Up the Liver?Is More Than a Mere Laxa five. u Calomel was for years the onJy known medicine that would stimulate tho liver. But calomel is often dan-| gerous, and people are not to he blam ed for being afraid of it. Within the last few years many med icines have been put out to be used Instead of calomel, but their effect is on the bow.ls?not on the liver. The Damons Drug Co. says that the only real liver medicine to- actually take the place of calomel is Uodsjfn's Liver Tone a mild, harmless, ve/otablo li quid that the Lnurena Ding Co. rc i commended to take the \J;u-t~ of cal omel and which gives )/ompt relief in cases of const ipat \ow, biliousness and Sluggish liver. S.i confident are the Laun n Ding ? Co. that they give their personal glior Thomas Jefferson Little. In the death of Mr. Thomas Jeffer son Little, which occurred Sunday. December 1st, 1912, Laurons county has lost one of her very best citizens. Mr. Little lived to a ripe old age. He WOUld have been 73 years of age had he lived until February 1st, 1913. For the last six years before bis death he was incapacitated on account of a stroke of paralysis, but bore his bur den with fortitude. Finally he was at tacked with Brlght's disease and suf fered greatly from a swollen foot, which was attacked by blood poison. His sufferings must have been very great, but throughout the long days of bis illness he was perfectly resign ed to Qod'B will and was able to tell those who catne to see hint in his last illness that he was confident of Iii? salvation and asked them to meet him in heaven. Throughout all of his pain ful illness he did not murmur. Mr. Little was a good Boldier during ?he war between the States, lie serv ed In Company 10, 7th Regiment South Carolina Cavalry. He was a consistent member of Methany Presbj'terlnil church and was loved and honored by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances who sympa thize deeply with the family in their grc-.it loss. J, Lisbon Locals. Lisbon, Jan. 13. -Wo see from some of the newspapers in ami out of (In state that the national corn show Ik going to > o one of the biggest things tha' ever came to the state of South Carolina. We are all glad to kllOW that this great show is coining, ami we think that every farmer with his hoys and girls ought to attend if ho possibly can do so. You will sc something that you may never have the pleasure of seeing again and then those Who base nOVCI' seen the city by the Conga roe will have that pleasure and many other places of Interest that these little boys and girls can toll about to their chil dren, at the first and perhaps the last national corn show in South Car olina. The state fair people have the building for the grand display of this great show and they are going to do their part to make it one of the great est corn shows on record. There ought to be a monument plac ed at the head of the men who stall ed this great work, you call demon stration farm work. They havo done more for the farmers and their in terest than anything Imaginable. Then comes Jerry Moore. It Is worth the trip to go down and talk fanning to little Jerry. You remember the west went wild over Jerry, whl'e the most of us depend on the west for our corn. If we will attend this great show see Jerry and let him give us his plans we will put the west out of business as far as South Carolina Is concerned. We are like Col. .1. II. Wharton, we are going to see that show if It is the last we ever sec. We wonder If "Aunt Kate" Isn't go ing down to the corn show. If she does wo can say this much: "When she gets back to Madden yon notice what she says in The Advertiser, and you see what you have lost by not going. We always look forward to 'Aunt Kate's' letters. They are very Instructive as well as interesting. She wields a fluent pen." Miss Alma Oarrett will give a box supper at the Lisbon high school next Friday night, 7th. The proceeds will go for improvement on the school house. Everybody come and help this worthy cause.
