TIMELY COUNSEL TO FARMERS.!
The Necessity of Planting Large
Grain Crops Pointed Out.
Editor County Record:?
While we have been b'essed in j
this State with an average cotton
crop in many sections and with a j
* I
price that is remunerative, i rear
that the financial relief that is coming
to many of our farmers will
maKe them forget the necessity at
this time of seeding a large grain
crop, especially oats, and, I would
add, some wheat. I call attention
to the advisability of seeding these
two grain crops from the fact that
the corn crop in many of the great
corn producing Spates of the West
is a failure. In many sections it is
an absolute failure and the present
prices of corn in the Western markets,
and reflected in our local markets,
should make us realize the j
nesessity of seeding a large crop of J
oats and, in many cases, wheat, in
order to supplement the crop of
corn that we are now harvesting.
It is not too much to expect that
corn next spring and summer/ will
be selling for $1.25 cash and $1.50
more on credit per bushel. Surely
the possibilities of such prices is
enough to make us stop and thinlf
and the farmer who has not produced
a sufficient supply of corn for
man and beast certainly will be very
much in his own light if he does not
seed as large a crop of grain as it is
possible for him to do. I have mentioned
the seeding of wheat, not
from the fact that it is a paying
market crop in our State, but I am
one of those who believe that every
farmer should make all of his supplies
at home, for it is my observation
that those who practice this
method of agriculture are generally
the men wo are prosperous. It
u a ti7 ncrps nn each
wuuiu utrwc "hij a *vn
farm to supply every family with
flour enough for home consumption.

Common Errors of Speech.
Every intelligent person is always
progressing and is never indifferent
in matters of culture. It careless
habits of speech have been formed,a
determined effort to correct them
will lead to good results.
Many persons who consider themselves
well educated make the mistake
of using the participle "got"
^ in connection with the verb "to 1
A have." They say: "Have you got '
the key?" "Who has got my book?" i
instead of ''Have you the key?"
"Who has my book?"
Mistakes of everyday occurrence
are "Who did you give it to?" |
"n" - lL:- inptoqfl r?f fhp
wno IS U1I5 1U1. Iuevvw. --
correct expressions "To whom did
you give it?" "For whom is this?"
Frequently one hears these errors i
in grammar: "I intended to have ]
bought a pair of gloves," instead of ;
"I intended to buy a pair of gloves." j
"It was no use asKing him," instead <
of "It was no use to ask him;" "Try i
and persuade her to go," instead of
"Try to persuade her to go."
It would seem unnecessary to tell
any one not to use the present tense i
instead of the past tense when men- ;
tioning what another has said, yet a ]
careless person may be heard saying j
"he says" instead of "He said." <
Other faults are to say "A great j
wavs." "Somewheres," "There's j
plenty of places." ]
The contraction "don't" for "do )
not" should never be used with a 1
singular noun or pronoun. It is i
correct to say "He does not," and
not "He don't." It is important to i
remember the objecti\e form of the j
first person singular when a noun i
and a pronoun or two pronouns fol- <
lowtfa verb, and not to say "Ethel <
asked Mary and I to go," but "Ethel ]
asked Mary and me to go." If one
is confused about the use of pronouns
in a sentence of this sort, an ,
easy rule is to separate them and *
use each one with the verb, thus: (
"Ethel asked Mary" and "Ethel ,
asked me." In this way the gram- j
matical form is seen. ,
It is correct to say "A summer
day," not "A summer's day."
"Cut the apple in two" or "in
halves," not "cut the apple in half."
"I cut the ribbon off this piece,"
not "off of this piece." The child 1
threw it on the floor," not "onto
the floor."
"Whether" is a word that indicates
a choice of things, and should
not be placed at the head of each
part of a sentence. For instance, it
is incorrect to repeat it, thus: "I
have not decided whether I shall go
to Boston or whether 1 shall stay at
home."

A mild, gentle and effective laxative
is what people demand when
suffering from constipation. Thousands
swear by Dr King's New Life
Pills. Hugh Tallman of San Antonio,
Tex, writes: "They are, bejondi
question, the best pills my wife and !
I have ever taken." They never cause
pain. Price 25c at druggists, or by

WHEN YOUR LIVER >
ORES WRONG.
!
Kearly Everybody Needs a Liver Slim j
ulant at Ooe Time or Another, i
Nearly everybody now and then is
annoyed with a sluggish, lazy liver
nr hv constiDatinn or by biliousness.
It is for this reason that Dodson's
Liver Tone is such a good medicine
to keep always in the house.
Either children or grown-ups can
take Dodson's Liver Tone without
bad after-effects and without restriction
of habit or diet. It is a
vegetable liquid with a pleasant taste,
but a reliever of constipation and
liver troubles, and entirely takes
the place of calomel.
Dr W V Brockington guarantees
every bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
he sells. It costs 50 cents per bottle
and if you are not satisfied that it
is worth the money, he will hand
your half dollar back to you with a
smile.
Don't be fooled by preparations
imitating the claims of Dodson's
Liver Tone. Just remember Dr W
V Brockington will give you back
your money if Dodson's Liver Tone
fails you. That is a guarantee that
guarantees.
"A Con In' and a Gwlne."
"Cats!" says he. "There's a barrel
in 'em! Good skins are worth
from fifteen cents to twenty-five,
v. ifnnui Knui thpv hreeH?from six
to eiffht ini a litter?and they grow
in a year."
"Yes," says I. "No trouble about
breedin' 'em."
"Now," says he, "here's the nub
of the whole scheme: Rats breed
twice as fast as cats. The idea is to
breed rats to feed the cat$! Then
skin the cats and feed the carcasses
to the rats. Once started the scheme
runs itself. Nothin' to do but collect
your money."
"Well," said some one when Seth
told the story, "did you put in any
money?"
?V?" T AiAn't " sniH Spth." but I
gave him an idea that was worth
money."
"What was it?"
"I told him the only weak point
in that scheme was the bother of
skinnin' the cats. I told him what
he ought to do was to cross those
cats with snakes, and then they'd
3lough off their skins every spring?
skin themselves!"?Ex.
CAN YOU DOUBT IT?
When the Proof Can Be So Easily '
Investigated.
When so many grateful citizens of
this locality testify to benefits derived
from Doan's Kidney Pills, can
you doubt the evidence? The proof
is not far away?it is almost at your
floor. Read what a Georgetown
resident says about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Can you demand more convincing
testimony?
Mrs H Rembert, 312 Cleland St,
Georgetown, S C, savs: "About a
year ago I had kidney complaint and
1 suffered severely from dull, nagging
backaches, headaches and dizzy
spells. I did not rest well and mornings
had no strength or energy.
Reading of Doan's Kidney Pills, I
procured a box. It did not take them
long to relieve me. I have had no
backache or other trouble from
my kidneys since."
"When Your Back is Lame?Remember
the Name." Don't simply j
ask for a kidney remedy?ask dif j
'inctly for Doan's Kidney Pills?the i
same that Mrs Rembert had. 50c all i

A New York woman wants a di- !

Every woman who is troubled 1
with fainting and dizzy spells, back- {
ache,weakness, debility, constipation
or kidney troubles should use Electric
Bitters. They give relief when
nothing else will,improve the health,
adding strength and vigor from the
first dose. Mrs Laura Gaines of Avoca,
La, says: "Four doctors had
given me up and my children andall
my friends were looking for me to
die, when my son insisted that I use
Electric Bitters. I did so, and they
have done me a world of good."
Just try them. 50c and $1.00 at all
druggists or by mail.

because it requires neither intelligence
