Ttoe Cotton Farmer Should Be Kins:
Make cotton your servant, and
not your master. Consider your
self king and not the crop. Apd
the one way to do this is to have
rotation and diversification. Join
the great con-raising revival.
Build up your land with legumes
»od stable manures. Don't put a
pound of cottonseed meal in the
ground, but use this king of cattle
feeds for feeding livestock. "Cot
ton, corn an 4 cattle" —these three
C's should be the slogan of the
South; and while this may or may
not mean that cotton as a crop will
lj>e king, it does mean that the cot
ton farmers—able to grow all other
crops that men grow anywhere,
and with a monopoly of the world's
cotton supply in addition—will in
deed be the kings among all farm

For Catarrh
Medicine Free in Every
Case Where It Fails
to Relieve '
Neglect or pessimism, we believe,
is the greatest enemy thtjjublic has
to contend with when applied to the
loss or recovery of health. Prac
tically every case of consumption
might have been cured if hope had
been maintained and proper treat
ment had been resorted to at the
fir-it symptom of the disease. Un
til the advanced stage is reached
consumption is curable. Catarrh
is responsible, we believe, for many
cases of consumption. It is about
catarrh we want to talk to you to
day, incidentally consumption,
since the two a-e so closely all ied.
We have a medicine made from
a prescription of one of the most
successful catarrh specials known.
We believe it is positively without
an eyual. We are so satisfied that
we are right, that we will supply
the medicine free in every instance
where it used according to direc
tions for a reasonable length of
time, should it fiil to give satis
faction in every particular. We
want every one to try this medicine
at our risk. There are 140 condi
tions attached to our offer. We
put the user under no obligation to
us whatever.
The medicine we want you to
try is Rexall Mucu Tone. It is a
catarrh remedy that goes right to
the seat of trouble. It is carried
by the blood to every part of the
system. It purifies and enriches
the blood, tones uf> the mucous
cells, and brings about a condition
of health and strength that tends to
prevent the germs of^consumption
from getting a start. Besides this,
Rexall Mucu Tone is a wonderful
appetizer, Higestivfe aid and flesh
builder. Its good effects are often
felt from the very first dose. It in
one of the largest aud#most satis
factory s.lling medicines that we
have ever had anything to do with
We know so much of the great
good that it has done fhat we per
sonally back it up with our reputa
tion and money, which fact should
be a,mple guarantee to satisfy any
body. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes
in two sizes, 50 -cents and $1 00.
We urge you to try it. Remember
you can obtain Rexall Reme4ies in
Williamston only at our £tore, —

Dea'h of Stanley Lefgett
(Contributed)
On Thursday, March 24th, 1910,
the soul of Stanley Leggett passed
into the Great Beyond, there to
await the Resurrection Morn. He
was seventy-nine yt ars old, and
had been married twice, first to
Elizabeth Griffin from which union
seven children were born, three of
whom are living, and then to
Artimissi Knox, who died in 1900
leaving one child, Mack Li ggett,
at whose home Stanley L* ggetl
had lived for some years and died
there.
Mr. I.eggett was early left an
orphan and was reated by his uncle,
Abrain Peel. He served faithfully
in the Civil War. For years his
health bad been failing, and he ex
pressed a wish for death to come
and relieve him.
His soul was full of human kind
ness always re«dy to lend a help
ing hand whenever he could. He
had never connected himself with
any religions body but professed
faith in the doctrines of the Primi
tive Baptist Church. For long
years he had been a member of the
Masonic fraternity.
The funeral tervicas 'were con
ducted by Klder M. T. Lawrence,
and a large body of Masons buried
him with all the honors of a
worthy Craftsman.
Worse Thin Bulhts
Bullets have otten caused less
suffering to soldier:; than the ecze

Me., got in the army and suffered
with forty years. "But Bticklen's

failed," he writes. Greatest

MANY SUDDEN DEATHS
From Poisonous Rheumatism
Rheumatism has for years been,
regarded as an exceeding painful
disease but it has only been dis-
covered within tire last few years
that it is this terrible . trpuble—that
is either directly or indirectly caus
ing thousands of deaths yearly
throughout our country. Rhetj
mati-im cf- the-Heart # Neuralgia of
the, Heart, Paralysis, Uric Acid
Poisoning are among the most dan
gerous forms of the disease. If
Uric Acid is allowed to. stay in the
system sudden death, can scarcely
be averted, but if any sufferer will
go at once to C. I). Carstarphen &
Co. and get a bottle of "Bloodine',
the guaranteed remedy for rheu
matism, they will positively be cur
ed. B|godine in large bottles cost
50 cents. In old chronic- cases
where there is* acute pains,
"Bloodine Rheumatic Liniment"
should be used with "Bloodine."
