BRUNSON, Commissioners of Federal E- lection for McCormick County. S. C. Oct. 20. 1944. McCormick County had three boys to enter an exhibit of 10 ears of corn each at the State Fair. Prizes to the amount of $5.36 were received by Billy Parker, Johnnie LeRoy and Paul LeRoy. I am anx ious to have more of these corn exhibits next year in the State Fair. The exhibit from McCormick County at the Exchange Fair in Augusta is in the first booth to the right as you enter the build ing going down the left lane. This booth is the result of some hard work from the ladies from this county. I wish to thank M. G. & J. J. Dorn, Inc., for loaning the hay, and I also am especially grateful for the help of Jennings Franklin in'the handling of this hay. To any one who assisted in this undertaking, we thank you too. Plant more grain than you ex pect to harvest as it is a good cov er crop, and besides, if labor gets shorter, you may be forced to leave it as a money crop. A late graz ing crop will be better than none at all. Everywhere you turn farmers are planting grain. I hope they are fertilizing and us ing heavy seeding practices as I have recommended before in this column. > The large terracing outfit is busy and to date has finished a little over a half milloin feet of terraces, or about 1,200 acres, for 27 different farmers. Most of the cotton has been gathered and I am glad to report that many farmers are making better yields than they had thought. Robert LeRoy and Mr. Parker are making some extra fine corn this year, using “Hybrid”, both white and yellow. If you haven’t ordered your kudzu, do so at once, as good crowns are hard to get. What about this—Wilbur White dug 23 pounds of sweet potatoes from under one hill. ' Joe Quarles brought a mighty good stalk of corn to my office. It has three large ears on it. I have 4-H clubs organized in Washington High, Plum Branch, McCormick High, and McCormick Grammar schools with a total en rollment of about 85 boys. A reg ular schedule is set up for meet ings. Officers’ names will appear in this column soon.

Knoxville, Tenn., in a grateful public endorsement of this noted herbal stomachic and vitamin R-l medicine. Discussing her case Mrs. Eubanks gratefully continued: “Nervous indigestion gave me little peace for years. I rarely felt hungry, and I was afraid to eat for I often suffered so much dis tress from gas in my stomach, that I simply had to gasp for breath. It seemed to me I never got more than an hour or two of sound sleep at night and in the — T felt so tired I simply dreaded to get up. I was forced to use laxatives regularly and of ten very oowerftil one*!. My nerves seemed " to stay on edge all the tir'°. “I never before experienced any thing like the relief Retonga gave me. I rest well, my appetite is •^lendid. and I don’t feel nervous. The sluggish elimination is re lieved too. It would be hard to praise Retonga enough.” Retonga is intended to relieve distress due to Vitamin B-l defh- ciency, constipation, insufficient flow of gastric juices in the stom ach, and loss of appetite. Accept no substitute. Retonga may be obtained at Peoples Drug Store. — Adv. l KTf 1 v v / MODERN GLASSES ON CREDIT Eyes Examined—Glasses Fitted Registered Optometrist in Charge hi,ii THt SOUTHS GREftTEST CREDIT JEUJEimg » nI "vnuu Finn »r «t FRi^aMnns* 826 Broad St. Augusta, Ga.
