BOLL WEEYIL GREAT
FOOD FOR TURKEYS.
Latest Report Concerning the Pest of
Texas Is That It Has a
Value.
A boom in turkeys is roportod from
Texas as a result of the boll weevil
plague, and that State, particularly in
the boll weovil section, will produce
from three to four times as many tur
keys as heretofore. The shipment
from Giddlngs amounts to 6,000 tur
keys. The town had never shipped any
before, all those raised there being
j used at homo.
The raising of the turkeys is the di
rect result of the boll weevi', tho farm
ers holding that the turkey is a fine
bird in the cotton fields, boiug able be
cause of his long reach, to get at the
top of the stalk during the season of
greatest activity among the infects.
Then the boll weevil will bo exter
minated and the turkeys fattened at
the same time. The extermination of
birds in Texas la claimed by some to
be largely responsible for the increase
of the weevil nuisance. The turkey is
the only domestic fowl able to get at
the weevil easily.

SAVED FROM TERRIBL'E DEATH.
The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt
of Bargerton, Teno., saw her dying
end were powerless to save her. The
most skillful physiolans and every
remedy used, failed, while consump
tion was slowly but surely takln e her
life. In this terrible hour Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption turned
despair into joy .The first bottle brought
immediate relief and its continued use
completely cured her. It's the most
certain cure in the world for all throat
and lung troubles. Guaranteed bottles

WHY RENT?
When you can own your own home
with the same money?
The Piedmont Savings and Invest
ment Company will euablo you to do
this.
Instead of Paying Rent for years
and owning nothing at the end of the
term the property Is yours.
Meanwhile, you have had the homo
from tho first?with the motivo to im
prove it.
Owning one's borne does more to
make an independent man than any
thing else.
A man with little or no property finds
it hard to borrow and build.
Such men this company provides
credit for.
There are hundreds of working
men in this town paying rent on.
houses that are not cosy and comforta
ble, they have no conveniences, tliut
are not kept up and that are not im
proving in value.
Lot9 ?** Laurens are cheap. The f=o
same i tu, with the rent money they
are paying, can all own homes fn
which they will take pride and which
will grow more valuable each year.
The Piedmont Savings and Invest
ment Company is not a building and
loan association. Why? Because the
contract is certain and definite. The
borrower knows to a day when bis
debt will be due. Moreover the rato of
interest is lower.
