the CHAKLOTTE IISWS FEBRUARY 8 1912 10 1 fSvS It is true; it tells of a way to get rid of these plague spots which so 'often sap the strength and vitality, and best of all, this permanent cure is in reach of every one. . . r, It is an absolutely true statement to say that every old sore or xhronic uicer exists solely because of bad blood. Outside contamina tions or influences may increase the local inflammation, but such things hare nothing to do with keeping the place open. It is the in fected blood discharging its impurities through a weak spot on the flesh that does this, and the sore will continue, gradually growing worse, until the blood is purified of the exciting cause. See how nature points to the cause through the symptoms. The inflammation, discharge, discolored flesh, and the fact that external Applications never have any curative effect on the sore, show that eep down in the circulation there is a morbid cause which prevents 4he place from healing. But more convincing proof that bad blood is responsible for old sores, is furnished by the fact that even removing every visible trace of the ulcer.by surgical operation does not cure; the sore always returns. .. f; S. S. S. heals old sores because it is the greatest of all blood purifiers: it goes into the circulation and removes the cause from the blood. When the blood has been purified there is no longer any in flammatory or infectious matter to irritate the place and nature causes a natural and certain healing of the ulcer. When S. S. S. has cleansed the circulation and the place is well, it is not a surface cure, not simply a smoothing over of the outward evidence,, but it is a perfect and per manent cure, because every vestige of the old cause has been driven but. S. S. S. is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, cleansing and invigorating in their nature, and of great tonic value. It is a medicine adapted to persons of any age, and is just as effective with the old as with the young or middle aged. Under the purifying and tonic effects of S. S. S. the system is greatly strengthened and benefited. To hear of S. S. S. has been good news to thousands, it is good news for you '. If you wish any special advice about an old sore or ulcer write lor our free book, and ask our medical department to give any instruc tions you may feel the need of. No charge for the book or advice.' S. S. S. is sold at drug stores. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO ATLANTA. CA. Public Interest in Gastonia Centers in Special Bond Issue I For Internal Imp? ovements Z (LEAKE CARAWAY.) Special to The News. Gastonia, N. C, Feb., .8. Public in terest now centers in the action of the city council at its next regular meet ing which will be held on Tuesday mght, cn the matter of calling a spec ial election on an authorized bond is sue for internal improvements. The recent legislature passed a bill authorizing the Gastonia city council to call an election, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the people de frire to issue S70?000 in bonds for the purpose of extending the water and electric light system, street improve ment, school improvement and sewer age, but no action has been taken by the council. On the night of January ISth. of this year a mas3 meeting was held at the city hall at which time it was voted to advise the city council to issue the call for the special elec tion for the bond issue and at thia time it was decided how the proceeds from the sale of the bonds would be spent. Since the city limits of Gastonia were enlarged by taking in the Lcray the Arlington, the Clara and the Dunn Rnd the Holland Mills the administra tion has spent $6,00fr in extending the electric lighting system through the "Tiz Reminds Me of My Barefoot Days!"

CURES OLD . 5 OA 5 To every person suffering with an old sore or chronic ulcer, the very best news in this paper is contained in the present article. It is good news because new territory. This $6,000 was taken from the treasury of the city of Gas tonia and was not borrowed. One line of this extension cost the city 13,500 an dis considered to be a most excellent piece of work. There re mains, however, a large part of the new territory without lights, water, sewerage and street improvements, and iUis the intention of the adminis tration to us-e the proceeds of this bond issue in extending the existing systems and for the improvement of the streets of the city. The Fund Apportioned. According to the action of the mass meeting held In January the fund of 570,000 would be divided as follows, in the event the people of Gastonia approve the issue: For street improvements $35,000; for waterworks $17,500; for sewerage $10,000; for electric light plant $5,000; for schools $2,500. The present 'school system is most excellent and the small sum speci fied for the use o fthe schools is mere ly for repairs and small betterments-. The strides the schools are now mak ing will, within a very short time, demand readjustment of the education al matters of the city, the building of at least one more and probably two more big school buildings and there fore it is not deemed expedient or wise to make extensive changes in the existing system at this tira. Th street improvement portion of the bond issue will be devoted to the building of sidewalks, assisted by the property owners. It has been figured out by those interested that the $35, 0r0 set aside i-r this purpose will, with the assistance of the property owners lay not less that 28 miles of sidewalks and overcome the present inability to get about over the city In the more remote sections in bad weather. The preeem very effiicent and ntire ly satisfactory water works system must needs be extended if the entire citizenship of Gastonia be served to their best interests and the $17,500 of the bond issue set aside for this pur 1ose can be made to accomplish this end by careful management and Judi cious expenditure. The source of Gastonia's water sup ply iLong creek, which flows near the city. This creek affords an ade quate supply and during Charlotte's water trouble last summer Gastonia furnished thousands of gallons of water to her sister city from her own mains without any ill results. The sup ply is especially pure and is conceded to be as good as there Is to be found. The only necessity for additional funds for this department is the additional territory taken in. And to reach those sections which have not heretofore been served by the city mains. The sewerage portion of the bond issue is badly needed or will be by the time the issue is authorized and sold. The system will be as nearly perfect as latter day engineering can make it. The present bonded Indebtedness of the city of Gastonia is $!Ji0,000, all of which have been sold at' par and it is understobn that there is- a good heal thy demand for more municipal bonds of this character and that there will be no difficulty in disposing of these bonds at par or better. Interest is .becoming marked in the matter of the issue of bonds and that there "wil be a lively campaign against the election is a foregone coo elusion. That the issue -will be author ized and that Gastonia wil continue her march of progress appears to be the general Impression at this time. Usually when we think we are "taking the conceit out" . of a person we are merely adding to our own. v PECAN Gil PROFITABLE 111 NORTH CAROLINA ' i . . Some days ago this paper had a short editorial item which read: "It is to noted that the reports show that Worth Carolina, produces the largest and best kind of pecans. The soil and climate suit the growth of the pecan and the wise thing for men with lands in the state to do is to set out pecan grove. They will pay handsomely." Referring to this item a letter was received from a prominent nursery man of this state who said in part: "The above statement might cause a great loss to people in the state who have land and locations not adapted to growing pecans. In tact in our state conditions and soil are so varied that we can grow almost anything, yet some things can only beg rown successfully in . certain lo cations and the pecan is one of these. The area being limited on which It will make a commercial success any one contemplating planting should take up the matter of location with prof. Hutt, state horticulturist, and submit a full description of location, etc, and get his advice. . The view of the correspondent is exactly the right one. The . News and Observer in its editorial item, meant only, of covrse, that pecan groves should be attempted where the lands and other conditions were suitably just as a farmer who plants tobacco should know whether or not, the land hep roposes to use is suitable. A matter of location affects the growth of almost everything that can be mentioned, and in pecan planting, as in other things, the condition and adaptability of the land should be first known. t State Horticulturist Hutt, in re gard to the matter says: "Pecans can be grown commercial ly in all the coastal plain region ot the state and probability also in the lower piedmont section. In higher portions of the state it is found that hardy varieties of pecans, such as the Stuart, the Mantura and the Ap-. pomattox, the latter two Virginia va rieties, are grown in countries North and are suitable for Northern lati-, tudes. The pecan is -being grown ex perimentally in more elevated sec tions and even in the mountain re gions of North Carolina by means of hardy varieties introduced from more northerly states. -1 do not re commend the planting of pecans above 500 feet altitude till we know the results of our experiments which are now in progress. At present all orchard of very handsome trees is bearing fruit at High Point at an altitude of a thousand feet, and at the Statesville experimental farm, above a thousand feet, several vari eties appear very promising for plant ing in upper piedmont, and perhaps, even in the mountains. We are work ing to extend the range of pecan culture by the introduction of hardy varieties. Sir. F. J. Holloway, of Raleigh, is planting on his farm near this city twenty-five acres in pecan trees. This industry is untried on a com mercial basis in this section, but Mr. Holloway believes that under favor able conditions it is likely to prove very profitable, as' shown by the records in places where the land and climatic conditions are favorable. Mr. Holloway sends this paper a most interesting article on "pecan vs. cotton," and quotes from a paper read before the American Pomolog ical Society at Tampa, Fla., in Feb ruary, 1911, by Mr. J. B. Wight, as follows: Pecans vs. Cotton. "Probably the oldest tree of which an accurate record has been kept, both as to growth and bearing stands at my home in Cairo. This tree is a budded Frotscher, set January, 1892. The following is the record to date: Circum- Nuts in ferences. Pounds. 1894 8y2 inches. 1895 ... .. .12 inches. 1896 14, inches. 1 nut. 1897 20 inches. 1 lbs. 1898 25 inches. 10! lbs. 1899 294 inches. 13Va, lbs. 1900 334- inches. 27 lbs. 1901 ..37i inches. 16 lbs. 1902 ...30'i inches. 45 lbs. 1903 44 inches. 80 lbs. 1904 4634 inches. 121 lbs. 1905 50 inches 131 . lbs. 1906 50 inches. 96 lbs. 1907 56' inches. 30 lbs. 1908- ....5914 Inches. 169 lbs. 1909 .....'.....62 inches. 352 lbs. 1910 69 inches. 196 lbs. "Since it .began bearing this tree has been severely cut for budding wood, and hence its bearing has been to some extent '.- retarded. The nuts from this tree have readily sold at from fifty to sixty cents per pound. One hundred and forty yards south of this, tree stands another tree, twenty-three years old from the seed, which is owned by Mr. K. Pow ell, and which for thel ast two years has yielded over four hundred pounds of nuts annually. Well cared for, a tree may begin bearing the third or fourth year after setting, but not much of consequence should be ex pected until the seventh or eightn year1 (an occasional over-enthusiastic promoter to the contrary notwith standing). After the twelfth year,, a thousand pounds per acre should be realized; and by the twentieth year it is not unreasonable to expect from two thousand to three thousand pounds per( acre. And this can be done as easily as a bale of cotton per acre is produced. "Twenty-three years' experience with the pecan has convinced me more and more of 'its profitableness. The demand for the best nuts Is con stantly Increasing. Trees from fif teen to two hundred years, old are annually producing their crops of nuts to the delight both of the palate and pocketbooks of their owners. A grove once established, a pound ot pecans can beg rown more cheaply than a pound of cotton; and the grower has twelve months of the year in which to sell them, and the world for his market. Over-pfoduc-tion need not be feared in this gener ation nor during this century. C. K. Wight being questioned as to the increased value that would accrue to land set in pecan trees, said : f "Good land set in vigorous budded Certainly Ends Stomach Misery A little Diapepsin cures Heart burn, Gas, Soutness and In digestion in five Minutes.

" ' or grafted trees at the end of the first year is worth "$100- per 'acre. Add $50 to this value at the end of each year of growth. With this as a basis, your land should, therefore be worth . , -v At the end of 5 years, $300 per acre. " r At the end of .10 years' $550 per acre.- ' 'J. ' . - Atthe end of 15 years, $800 per acre. . .. .-7: ' While varieties differ -slightly as to the age -at which they begin to bear,, yet this may be - safely "put ' at from five, to six years from the time trees are transplanted. By-the tenth year when the -value "ras above is $550, the net income per acre should - be 8 per cent of this amount, or $44, This is probably t about as early as the trees would begin to pay a reasonable income ' on the value as y figured above. By the fifteenth year the net income should be $64 per acre, or s per cent on $800. The twentieth year should show more, than a net income of $84 per acre on an; 8 per cent In come on a valuation of $1,050 per acre according to the above estimate. By net income Js meant what re mains after " deducting a reasonable amount for cultivating and fertiliz ing trees and for the gathering of the nuts. It has been shown that land set. In pecans - can be made to pay for its cultivation and fertilizing . by thee rops of cotton", peas, potatoes, vegetables, etc., thatareg rown be tween the trees. Now the above estimate Is not by any means visionary. While it has not been demonstrated with orchards on a large scale, yet it has been shown to be a very conservative esti mate, both by myself and by other growers of pecans. There are orch ards of budded pecan trees In this section that, can not be hought on the above basis. Understand me that wrhen I give these figures I em phasize, the fact that the trees must be properly cared for. If you are going to set them out in a careless manner and leave them to the In different attention of hired help, to be run over and broken down by the stock,, and to be , smothered by weeds and grass, then this will not be borne but by results. This estimate is based on good land, good trees, and good condition. "Twenty-three years ago I read this advice from a veteran pecan grower, who still abides with us: Young man, set a pecan grove, and when you are old it will support you.' I believed then that , the advice was sound; I now know that it is so. And so I pass the word along: Young man, plant a pecan grove, it will, help to make your days happier and your pockets heavier. It will lighten your burdens vhile here; and when yci are gone, your children will rise up and call you blessed." News and Observer. - Gum Machine A Gambling Device Special to The News. . Raleigh, N. C, Feb. S. Attorney General T W. Bickett has tried out the latest slot machine designed to evade the state law against gambling devices and in a formal opinion rules that they are barred from the right to licenses to operate in this state. The machine vends gum and indicates each play of the wheel what the next turn wil give, the possibilities ranging from gum Or a nickel check to one dollar in checks. Attorney-General Bickett played the machine yesterday to the amount of 40 cents and came out of the game with $1.50, a net profit of $1.10, which he turned over to the barber shop' in which the machine is located. v (The attorney general made seven successive plays that brough only the gum each time, then he got two checks. He played one of these and brought out 20 checks -worth a dollar. That was the best haul he made. He pronounces the operation of the ma chine "gambling once removed," but clearlyUnder the bane of the lawi The operator plays not for what the ma chine will deliver at that play but for what it will ' indicate for delivery in the next play.
