When he began breaking out with boils i and sores he wauld itch so bad he j would almost scratch to the bone. I thought sure he would die," writes Mrs A B Williams. Her husband, who suffered the dreadful tortures of rheumatism in its worst form, writes: "l suffered from rheumatism for two years and was confined to my room for three months. I tried everything. The suffering was so severe I thought I was forever done with work. I tried everything I and my friends could get, hut it looked like I was done with business and work for the balance of my life. It struck me worse in the small of my back and in the left leg," continued Mr Williams. By chance he heard of ivhilt irnn will Ho for neoDle with blood and system full of uric acid and the kidneys not acting right. He bought a bottle of Acid Iron Mineral, obtainable at most drug stores. This is the highly concentrated natural product of a mineral deposit of medicinal iron. It is stronger and being concentrated is more economical, a few drops in a glass ot water being a full dose. He took it regularly a short while and now read what he says: "I bought a bottle of A-I-M and before I finished that I sato I vrka getting better. I took three bottles and by the time I had finished them I was as well as I ever was. I was relieved of the other troubles, too, and feel now like I owe a debt of gratitude to you people who put it up I am sixty-three years old and hack at work every day and l>elie\? that rheumatism is banished comcompletely and forever from my system," said Mr Williams. His wife said: "1 heard of Acid Iron ^Mineral and got a bottle for my husband and by the time he had used one bottle he was really well. You can see of what value it is to me. He is now well and back to work. I wish I had more space to tell you more about how thankful I am for your Acid Iron Mineral," Charlotte C. H Va., Box 26.

Many Other Vegetables also Should Be in the Ground Now. Everyone is urged to join the Garden club. It is a patriotic duty as well as a protective measure for the individual to put every foot of available planting ground in vegetables this year. There have been gratifying results within the past year from the cultivation of land not heretofore used for this purpose, and numbers are now enjoying the vegetables they had the foresight to raise and can during the past year of short crops. / From January 15 to March 30 is the time to plant garden peas in open ground. The seeds of beets, eggplant, lettuce and tomato can be planted in hotbeds during that time; asparagus and cabbage plants may be set out in open ground. It is especially urged to plant plenty of garden peas, for the surplus can be dried and put away for future use. It is a bad plan to depend upon a later pea crop, for the good weather is not to be depended on for a good harvest. So now is the time to be foresighted and plant peas and still more peas. The great advantage in planting peas is that they can be gathered in April and May and can then be followed by some other crop. They should not be succeeded by a bean crop, as beans require practically the same nourishment and would tend to exhaust the soil and make a poor crop. Eggplant and tomatoes do well on the same plot after peas. Tractors Solve Labor Problem. In an attempt to destroy the labor problem in the State of Maryland and to insure an increase in the wheat acreage, the State council of defense has purchased four tractors to be used in preparing land for wheat by plowing, harrowing, etc. Two of fhese tractors are being used in Kent county and one each in Cecil and Harford counties. The routing of the tractors is in the hands of the county agents. The C** anrvli'/iofiAno o ro liofnrl art/4 laimcio ayjyi Kanuun mv iidbvu uuu itineraries for the tractors are made out accordingly. Charges for the use of the tractors are based on the absolute cost of operation. These charges range from $2.50 to $3 an acre for plowing and 50 cents an acre for harrowing or disking. The results thus far have proven entirely satisfactory. Plans are already under way to continue the use of the tractors in the preparation of land for spring crops. In addition to meeting an emergency, the use of the tractors has resulted in the purchase of a number of them by individual farmers and groups of farmers. uvUkuut!

Indications Are that Even Better Prices ] Will Be Paid for this Year's Crop. j Editor County Record:? i I should think that it would be of 1 interest to your readers and a bene- 1 fit to your farmer patrons who are < interested in raising tobacco to hear i how the weed is selling in Kentucky. I Well, it is selling high. While it is not quite so high as it opened up in < December, due mostly to railroad congestion, the Burley tobacco this week has averaged on the different markets $26.50 to $28.50, which, in comparison with the average for the last crop, is a considerable advance. Last year's crop of Burley averaged for the State $18.56, so you see it is about $9 per hundred higher than last year's crop, which average then was considered very high. It is the general opinion now that this crop of Burley will average around $27 and will doubtless give satisfaction to planters. With the present outlook, I would advise planting a good crop of tobacco in South Carolina, though no man should fail to grow food crops for home consumption and some to spare for Uncle Sam's soldier boy$; this is highly important and necessary for the preservation of home and government. I am sure tobacco will sell higher than last year, as our country is supplying the world with tobacco. A prosperous New Year to The County Record. Yours very truly, J R Hutchinson.

FAVORS WOMAN SUFFRAGE. ?_ At. Camlin Argues for It and Predids Its Early Realitation. Cditor County Record: I wish to make a few remarks ai .0 my views on woman suffrage. ?Ve, or at least the most of us,think - . t wrong for ladies to vote, out we ,hink it right for them to be school ;eachers, to mould the future of our ions and daughters, also to teach ;hem the mode of religion that they jhould live in this world, This is all right and proper, but when it comes to the legal side of life we say, "Oh, no, the ladies shall be silent and politically dead." Why, if these good ladies of our State and nation can iictate the moral, religious and economic life and also place the rising generation upon a higher moral plane, are not these same noble ladies of our land competent to improve our political welfare. I venture to say when woman suffrage it carried, which it will be within two * years, our politics will be placed on a higher plane. Without the woman the man can donothing. This was begun at the gates of the garden of Eden. Give the women equal rights at the ballotbox and make soldiers of them to carry blessing and sunshine to our men while suffering on tbe battlefield, through the workings of the Red Cross society. This is a Godsend to man through woman. Jf our women can make so great a society possible, why can't they improve our politics? Let me say right here to your readers:can't our politics stand some purging? Who has made them black? Did any lady of our country have a ( hand in making it what it is? Will the ladies make it any worse? If not. let's trv them and see what will be the result. I speak for one voter only. I stand flatfooted in favor of the rights of the ladies at the ballotbox. If the ladies can and do succeed in all other business affairs pertaining to the wellbeing of man,why should they not improve our political life? But some fellow will say, "Oh, no,a woman should not have anything to do with politics; she is not competent." Right then this numbskull needs a guardian appointed to lead him out of the asylum at Columbia. Give the women their equal rights and let them fully exercise these God-given rights as He intended them to do when He made this - - * a. m al _ mortal from a tender pare 01 ene first created man, Adam.
