NSW YEAR'S DINNER.
Chamber of Commerce Dollar Dinner
at Ctarotnont Hotel.
Preparation* are being completed
for the Business Men s New Year
dinner which is to be eaten the even?
ing of the sixth at the Claremont Ho?
tel. Near one hundred tickets have al?
ready been taken, and the rest are
with Secretary Heard on for sale to
the mta of BUnater. The price of the
ticket is ,|t each, which covers ex?
actly the cost of the dinner,
i Mr. H. A. Moses, who to acting
chairman of the committee in the ab?
sence of Chairman Crosswell, said
when asked about the occasion: "This
is simply a get-together meeting of
the business men of Sumter, to eat a
good meal together, and over the
cigars to exchange views, jokes or
whatever they may wish. There has
not been any general meeting of the
business men of late, and the direc?
tors of the Chamber of Commerce
conceived that it would be a good idea
to have this Now Year's dinner. All
men of Sumter are welcome; the at?
tendance la not confined to the Cham?
ber of Commerce members. This is
net a money making scheme, the dol?
lar cost of the ticket is actually what
the dinner costs, and the Claremont Is
going to furnish a mighty nice din?
ner for the money. Another thing I
can promise ta that thla is going to be
an enjorabie affair; those who at?
tend neon not fear that they are go?
ing to be bored to death by some
long wiaded, sleep-producing speak?
ers; there Is not to be an invited guest
(except the Ren orchestra); there is
not te bo a speech made; there is not
to be a l-eport submitted, there is not
to be a collection or a subscription
taken, tthis is a dinner pure and
simple.
The Claremont dining room will
seat 160 diners; wo hope to have that
many prtaent As we have to notify
the hotel by Wednesday morning ex?
actly hon many plates to prepare, we
hope the men will call on Secretary
Reardon Tuesday for their ticket; or
phono ff? and he will send it to the
purohaennv Sfce directors and the
oamsasn^jnlisanV hnao to see the men
of Bua^mVmit 'im force Thursday
night.

ments to begin active corn breeding
work In sixteen counties of the State
next spring. The counties selected
for the work are Oconee, Green?
ville, Greenwood, Newberry, Chester,
Lexington, Richland, Barnwell, Dor?
chester, Jasper, Charleston Berkeley,
Sumter, Florence, Dillon, and Horry.
The varieties to be used in the
breedings plots are not all the same.
Where possible a high-yielding local
variety will be used. The follow?
ing table shows the varieties and
the counties in which they will be
bred: l
Garric corn: Richland Sumter,
Berkeley, Jasper, and Charleston.
Lee county corn: Oconee (Clem?
son station).
Belmont (Gid Morris) corn: Barn
well and Chester.
Pee Dee No. 6 corn: Florence
(Pee Dee station), Dorchester, (Coast
station), and Horry.
Marlboro corn: Newberry.

In addition to breeding work with
the above named varieties, a test
of ten varieties will be conducted
on the same farms. Ten of the so
called best varieties in the State will
be used in these tests, which will be
continued for about four years, using
the same varieties each year. This
will be of great benefit to the farm?
ers of the State, as the results will
show which varieties yield best in
each section.

PENETRATION TREATMENT QUICKEST
WAY TO BREAK IIP DEEP COLDS
A quick and most effective remedy
for colds is a preparation known as
Gowans (most powerful and penetrat?
ing), which is applied externally. It
!s a well known fact that most cases
of pneumonia and other serious forms
of bronchal and lung troubles are de?
veloped from slight colds and Gowans
has prevented thousands of cases of
these serious illnesses by breaking up
the cold in its early stages and even
in advanced, serious cases of pneumo?
nia itself. The most stubborn cases
have been relieved by rubbing Gow?
ans on the chest, under the arms and
between the shoulder blades at night
before going to bed and covering with
a warm flannel cloth. The healing
medicines penetrate to the affected
parts quickly, reducing the inflarca
tion and breaking up the congestion.
Gowans is also very effective in treat?
ing all other forms of cold troubles,
such as head and chest colds, coughs,
croup, whooping cough, inflammation,
congestion, catarrh, bronchitis, asth?
ma, etc. Try this remedy tonight.
Don't accept a substitute. "Demand
Gowans, because Gowans is more pene?
trating." At druggists in 25c, 50c and
$1.00 bottles. Free sample and testi?
