tnree-fourths inch long wnen you can raise Mebane Triumph,
which runs from one inch to one and one-eighth? Why pay to
have sixteen and seventeen hundred pounds picked to get a five
hundred pound bale, when twelve fifty and thirteen hundred
pounds of Mebane Triumph will make a five hundred pound
bale? Other varieties of cotton turn out 30 to 34 per cent, of
lint, while Mebane Triumph gives a lint turn out of 38 to 42
per cent.

k Judges of cotton say that lint of Mebane Triumph is silky
and stronger than any other variety. A gin will turn out five
bales of this variety in the same length of time it takes for four
of other cotton. It can exist on less, rainfall than any other
known variety. It is very early maturing and early fruiting,
and on account of the large bolls you have no trouble in secur-
ing pickerfc, and it does not blow out easily.
It has always been and always will be our aim to supply the
jpilblic with reliable seed of first quality, which are grown with
the utmost care.
We are exclusive dealers in Mebane Triumph planting seed
and they are not only being kept up to their present high stan-
dard, ..hut are being improved each year by the latest and most
scientific methods of plant breeding by our Mr, A. D. Mebane,
the originator of this famous cotton.
Our seed for spring planting are sound, dry, clean and well
matured, and are put up in new 2 and 3 bushel burlap bags.
See that the name <>t the A. 1). MEBANE C( > 1 1 OX Sb.b.D

Oscar Graham’s newort play, “Th
Prodigal Son" promises to be even
better than previous presentations,
and that is saying a good deal. It
would be difficult to go into detail
as to the plot, motive and incen-

there is really so much to it. 'The

and yet there's nothing overdrawn
