Wood's campaign managers spent over a million dollars trying to secure his nomination as the Re publican candidate for president. This Is indeed a poor man's country. Poor folks mutst have gotten some of It. * * 0 Gen. lcrshing is to -retire from the army at the age of 60 after a long 11and distinguished service, to Pursue a more active career. If he intends to get out now anId make a living he'll find it pretty active. We dto and we at'e not sixty. Statistics recently published by the Bureau of Ciop iEstimates show that the estimated amount of fertilizer used per acre this year in the first agricul tural district of this state, wichkit in cludes a2aurens, was 393 pounds, cost ing $10.02 per aere. Ii the 3rd dis 'trict, including Marlboro county. '415 poulnds wero used, costing .20.S, a difference of around $10 per aere. It is claimed that. Marlboro land is better than Laurens land, and maybe is, but it is possible that larl boro farmers get better results by the more extensive use of fertilizers. Ae cording to these figures Laurens farm ers coild pract ically double the amount of fertilizer at a cost of $10.00. At the prevailing price of cotton, around 40 cents per pound, an increase of 25 potinds of Iint cotton per acr-e would pay for the extra fertilizer and another live pounds -would pay a year's subscription to The Advertiser. lSS1' MADE PLAIN.
