Hold Your Cotton.
' 'I
Cotton is on the decline but we
are confident that the price will
be better and the farmers who sell
now are giving the difference be
tween cents to 11 cents to spec
ulators and manufacturers. We
have made an investigation of the
condition and here is what people
say who know Mr. C. C. Fagan,
of Dardens says "We have ginned
seventeen bales more cotton this
year than last year this time but
we are mnch nearer done ginning
than any year before. I picked
nearly all my cotton the first time
it was gone over. We will gin
twenty-five per cent less cotton
than last year."
Mr. Van R. Taylor who was in
town Wednesday said, "The cot-
ton crop is short, we are not gin
ning as much as last year and I
think we will make about sixty
per cent of what we made last year.
Mr. Hyman Bowen who was in
town Wednesday said: "My son
and myself have l>een running :■
gin about sixteen years and tilt
crop is shorter than it has l>een in
years. We are getting very little
cotton to gin as compared with last
year."
Mr. J. G. Statou says: "The
crop is short although opening raf>-
idly now which makes it look larg
er. The Williamston Milling and
Ginnning Co. is not doing the gin
ning it did last year because tin
crop is not made thats just all then
is about it.''
Here are men who are iu a posi
tion to know al>out the crop and
thev say it is short. Kvery reader
cf this article knows the crop is
short although it shows up well.
Now if the crop is short although
conditions are such as to make it
appear large and the price conse
quently low and these conditions
exist all over the cotton l>elt, isn'i
it reasonable to canclude the
price will be lietter when the situ
ation is understood.
In our humble opinion and it is
gained from what people say who
"know and from reports covering
the whole cotton belt, fanners will
make a big mistake to sell cotton
for cents when they can gel
as much as 11 and Sully says 13
for it.
Croup is quickly relieved, and
Whooping Cough wil not run it
course, if you use the original Bee's
Laxative Honey and Tar. This-
Cough Syrup is different from all
others because it acts on the
bowels. You cannot cure Crouj
and Whooping Cough until you
rid the system of all congestion,
by working off the cold through
a copious action of the bowels.
Bee's Laxative Honey and Tai
does this, and cures all Coughs.
Croup, Whooping Cough, etc. Nt
opiates. Sold by S. R. Biggs.

Dn't Borrow Trulli
It is a bad habit to borrow any
thing, but the woist thing you can
possibly borrow, is trouble. When
sick, sore, heavy weary and worn
out by the pains and |>oisons of
dyspepsia, biliousness, Bright Dis
ease, and similar internal disorder
don't sit down and brood over your
symptoms, but fly for relief to
Electric Bitters. Here you will
find sure and permanent forgetful
" ness of all your troubles, and your
body will not be burdened by a load
of debt,disease. At S. R. Biggs

A Judicious Inqulri
A well known traveling man who
visits the drug trade says he has
often heard druggists inquire of
customers who asked for a cough
medicine, whether it was wanted
for a child or for an adult, and i(
for a child they almost invariably
recommend Chamlierlain's Cough
Remedy. The reason for this is
that tlicy know there is no danger
fiom it and that it always cures.
There is not the least danger in
giving it, and for coughs, colds
croup it is unsurpassed. For sale
>ale by S. R. Biggs.

"1 had a fearful cough, that dis

until 1 took I)r. King's New Dis

me." Instantly relieves and j>er

Son Seasonable Adilci
It may lie a piece of superfluous
advice to urge people at this seasou
of the year to lay in a supply ol
Chatulwrlain's Cough Remedy. It
is almost sure to be needed before
winter is over, and much more
prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a
cold is contracted and before It has
become settled in the system, which
can only l>e done by keeping the
remedy at hand. This remedy is
so widely known and so altogether
good that no one should hesitate
aliout buying it in preference to
any other. It is for sale by S. R.
Biggs.

How ti Cure Corns ud Bunions

in warm water to soften it; then
l»are it down as closely as jiossible
without drawing blood and apply
Cltanilierlaiu's Pain Balm -twice
daily, rubbing vigirously for five
minutes at each application. A
corn plaster should l»e worn a few
days to protect it from the shoe.

Pain Balm is unequalled. For sale

Science at Last Discovers a Real
Cure For Rheumatism.
After years of ex]ieriment a new
scientific remedy has been found
that not only relieves, but al>solute
lv cures Rheumatism and kindred
diseases, to stay cured.. The new
discovery RIIKUM ACIDK, though
purely vegetable, and acting though
nature's channels, neutralizes thece
acids and sweeps all jx>isons and
harmful germs out of the bloo:l.
At the same time it tones up the
stomach and regulates the liver
and kidneys.
RAKUMACIDE therefore, cures
the disease permanently, bee a use
it teinoves the cause. It has cured
hundreds of cases after the most
noted doctors and hospital nurses
have failed. RHKUKACIDKcur

after he had tieen held in bed by
rheumatism for three years aud his
feet were drawn up almost to his
back. This is only one of the
inauv marvelous cures RHKI'MA
CIDK lias already performed.
RIIKUMACIDK is curing many
cases of Rheumatism, Sciaticarlum
bago, Rout, kidney trouble, indi
gestion and constipation, right in
this community today.
Because it has cured so many
others we lielieve it will cure you
All the leading druggists in this
