Tried an Experiment.
[New* and Courier.]'
As stated by Mr. A. Sydnor,
Knights ot the Maccabees.
The State Commander writes
us from Lincoln, Neb., as fol-
of Darlington, in his report j lows: “After trying other med-
wlnch waj published in the icmes for what seemed to be a
News and Courier several days very obstinate cough in our two
__j chi j (lrwn we trietl Dr Ki n g- 8
New Discovery and at the end
of two days the cough entirely
left them. We will not be with
out it hereafter, as our exper
ience proves that it cures where
all other remedies fail.”—Sign
ed F. W. Stevens, State Com.—
■Why not give this great medi
cine a trial, as it is guaranteed
and trial bottles are free at
Willcox & Co.’s Drug Store.

ago. the present important and
still growing tobacco and manu
facturing industry in Darling
ton County has been developed
from an almost insignificant be
ginning in only six years—or in
about the time that has elapsed
since the last Presidential elec
tion save one. He says:
“F r o m 5,000 to 5,000,000
pounds in six years! The above
figures sound like fiction, but
they are true, nevertheless. Six
years ago one farmer tried as
an experiment four acres in to
bacco in Darlington County,
making about 5,000 pounds.
This first effort was made in
telligently, resulting in a type
of tobacco of such desirable
quality and such marketable
value that other farmers were
induced to try the new crop.
The success has been such that
now after six years not less
than five hundred good men are
planting the weed, and with
favorable seasons no less than
5,000,000 pounds of the golden
leaf will be harvested. The
Darlington market has kept
pace with the increase of* the
tobacco, always in the lead of
other markets. Two new mam
moth warehouses and quite a
number of leaf factories are
now in process of construction,
parties having availed them
selves of the liberal offer of
Darlington to give lots to those
desirous of building tobacco
houses. These buildings will
be ready in time to handle the
growing crop.”
All this “development,” and
more incidental to it which is
not mentioned in Mr. Sydnor’s
report, it should be noted is the
direct result of the experiment
of one intelligent and careful
citizen of the county in planting
four acres of the new and un
tried crop,six years ago. Theone
thousand pounds which he made
as the result of that experiment
will be multiplied a thousand
fold this year. If he had not
tried the crop and proved it,
Darlington County would doubt
less be still worrying and des
pairing over “the low price of
cotton”, and would be several
million dollars poorer to day.
His example is a :■ f .ble one
and well worthy of imitation by
other farmers and other citizens
of other counties. What he has
done for Darlington some other
thoughtful farmer can do for
his county. What Darlington
has done for itself any other
county in the State can do for
itself. Tobacco will grow in
any county in South Carolina.
All that is necessary to insure
the success of the crop is to
“experiment” and so discover
what special variety will thrive
best, and then plant it for mar
ket. The warehouses and fac
tories will follow, as they have
followed in Darlington and in
Florence. The county that
“sticks to cotton” and cotton
only, with so instructive and
plain a lesson of enterprise and
self-helpfulness before it, has
itself only to blame for its con
tinued hard times and hard and
unavailing toil.
And tobacco is not the only
thing that can and will bring
deliverance and more money.
There are hundreds of new in
dustries that will pay as well as
tobacco growing, if they are in
troduced and pushed as intelli
gently and as energetically as
tobacco growing has been push
ed in Darlington. Hog raising,
sheep raising, stock raising
canning, hay making, butter
and cheese making, honey mak
ing, wood working, truck gar
dening, apple and peach and
pear and grape and plum and
berry growing will pay as well
as tobacco growing, and oetter
perhaps in proportion to labor
and cost, and there are countless
other untried but profitable in
dustries besides these. What is
wanted everywhere is the first
careful and intelligently con
ducted “experiment”, by some
man who is tired of the old and
unprofitable way. One success
ful new venture will work a re
volution in a county and in the
condition of a county. Darling
ton has proved the rule by its
experience. Other counties can
not do better than to profit by
its example.

Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111.
writes that hq had a Severe Kid
ney trouble for many years,
with severe pains ir his back
and also that his bladder was
affected. He tried many so call
ed Kidney cures but without
any good result. About a year
aijo he began use of Electric
Bitters and found relief at once
Electric Bitters is especially
adapted to cure of all Kidney

gives almost instant relief. One

It is a great mistake to sup
pose that a simple tonic gives
strength; it only stimulates the
stomach to renewed action. To
impart real strength, the blood
must be purified and enriched,
and this can only be done by
such a standard alterative as
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
Texas justice—“You admit
you stole the pig out of the pen?”
Colored prisoner—“Yas, I ad
mits I stole de pig, but I wuz
hongry. an’ I didn’t have nuffin’
ter eat.” “Pork reacher,” said
the judge, with tears in his eyes,
as he chalked him down for two
years.—Tammany Times.
Food, when it sours on the
stomach, becomes innutritive
and unwholesome. It poisons
the blood, and both mind and
body suffer in consequence.
What is needed to restore per
fect digestion is a dose or two
of Ayer’s Pills. They never fail
to relieve.
Fuddy—“I suppose your son
goes in for athletics? Football,
perhaps? What is he, half
back?” Duddy — “Half-back?
Well, I guess not! You should
see Jack once, and then you’d
say he was all back. No, Jack
is no footballist; he’s a bicycle
stooper.”—Boston Transcript.
