Now that Edgefield's grand jurj hastmade a thorough investigator of-the county offices it can turn its attention to other fields. Judg( Prince's words are as apropos and , timely when applied to Edgofielc as when applied to Charleston. As To County Offices. In this day and time, when sc few men and women have ver} decided convictions upon mora! questions-or having convictions lack'tb^e courage to stand by tberr -3p?s*??r?shing, very cefreshinp ?-.?t^BT""a?3- reassuring, to occasionally come in contact with a MAN. A -man who follows the dictates oi conscience-A man- who puts principle above policy-A man who seeks to do righteyen though it jeopardize to a degreehis busi ness interests and personal popu larity. .^We recently came in con tact with just such a man in the person of one of Edgefield's coun ' ' "ty officials. As the writer entered a certain office ? few days ago on business, we-heard a man, who was in the .act.of drawing a bottle from his pocket, ask the official for permis sion to drink in said office. The official courteously, but in no un certain terms, declined to grant the request. The mau was not offended, yet he seemed confused and humiliated as he pasBed out, for the denial, though not intended as euch, was received by him as a stinging rebuke. .This county official was right. . SpTed'fhe'day when every county office in the slate t-ha!! be so cou ; ; i ducted that' a lady can at any hour enter them to transact business without the fear of seeing and hearing those things that would wound hi-r delicate sensibilities. Perish the thought that a couoty r-y office, because it is a public office, ? shall be a rendezvous for thosf who drink and carouse. Let them be''couducted upou the same plane as are most private offices. . We:doff pur hat to that couut) official, wherever he may be, who . refuses to allow drinking and tht flt- use of obscene language in hip I o$ce. f?e is the man for whom all right-thinking men delight tel cast their ballots. I A Statement From 3fr. W. H. Bar ling, Cashier of the Farmers Bank. To The Public: Whereas, charges have been mad? and cir culated that The Farmers Baut of Edgefield, S. C., was re?pousi ble for the shortage fouud in tbe Treasurer's office in this county, I deem it due to the public a d to the bank and to myself, who had the transactions with the treasur er, to say that the charges made have-no foundation in fact, justice and truth. At no time have any warrants drawn on the treasurer and paid by said bank been sur rendered to the treasurer without giving^him a list of the amounts of the "warrants, and before he has ever given me a check for such paper he has checked off the war rants with the list. No error has ever been delected by the bank or by the treasurer in any traosact ion between the two. In fact our transactions with the treasurer have had such a system of check ing against them that errors would abow up at the time without any mistaking. In this matter, I desire to say that The Farmers Bank courtE honest inves'igatiou., and I join it myself. W. H. HARLING. Cashier. Interesting: Items From Modoc. (Written for last week.)

Over-Work Weakens Your Kidnevs. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood In your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or Impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart "is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for tts wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar siz es. You may have a _. sample bottle by mail Homo of Swam^Boot free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

Dear Sir: But few of the men who sell the .hundred different paints in the market know much about them. All Devoe agents have a state chemist's c rtificate telling just what it's made of; they know a good deal, not only about Devoe but the rest; we see that they do. We buy every paint, that has any sale, and analyze it. Our agent fi?ds out all about it. When we know what a paint is made-of, we know how it will act; we know how fur. it goes, and how long it weais. Devoe is the standard; call it 100. The best of the rest is about 75; the worst about 25; the rest are between. But the men, who sell them, don't know auy better. They know what the maker tails them. That is: they know that he tells thtm. They don't know whether ho tells them Ibe iruth or not. The business is not conducted on knowledgs; the less they know, the more comfortable they are.
