K The Advertiser is iiot opposed to the dispensary pfr se but is opposed to the sale pf liquor in any and every form. The dispeu Bf>rs and assistant dispenser? iu Edg* field have always been hon-j estj-honorablo men-far above the average- but jest because intoxi cants are bottled by tb? stale and sold by honest mi?:>; does nor make them any less harmful and hurt ful. : - ' The Standard Oil Klug will re ceive his ruuual Thanksgiving! . present in the form ? a $20,000, 000 check, this being Mr. Rocke feller's dividend on his oil stock. Wonder if he will be half as thankful for this mun ficent sum as the average newspaper mau i would be for a Thanksgiving goo ier? Everybody who bas had any ex perience with thrm at all, knows that negroes who loaf around the - towns make .undesirable farm hands, even when they can be in duced to work. The supervisor of I H Spart?nburg county has r/iscover- [ --ed that the professional loafer is foo worthless to make even a good ~- jepuviCt, and for that reason bas refused to work convicted city loafers upon the couD ty roads. As a. result Spartanburg has es tablished a municipal chain-gang. \ In commenting upon the very smaltamiiunt of drunkenness that .is now seen ii ^hernkfifr'county the Gaffney corres^^ot to The State amcng other tS^S8 hT th? following to say : Cherokee, the first to vote out the dispensary "arid the one who is proud of setting the example to TV her sister counties, works well . indeed and few if any citizens of Gaffney and Cherokee would have the dispensary return." The farm is not only the proper place to rear boys bot.it is also the --place to develop men. The follow ing from the Greenville News are ?.. fitly spoken words: "The two greatest institutions of learning aw the college and the farm, and it is a question which does 1he best work. The graduatet . of the farm is holding * the evens in about as many > cases as the graduate of the college. George Washington was not a-cbllege man, buUhe was a good farmer. If x^ducation cou?? be brought to NjBrirere^ever^ young mau could have equal training on the farm and in the college, then would we have the ideal -education". The president of one of the. largest life insurance, companies, whose salary for some years has been $150,000,;na9 voluntarily re quested that it be reduced to half th?t amount. The office of presi dent of such ? company is a sine cure, and, with an army of sub ordinate officials and clerks at his beck and call to do the work, we see no reason why he should be paid $75,000, which is fifty per cent more than the President pf the . United States receives. Were the home offices of large life insurance companies located in the south scores of capable men cculd be found to fill such places . at much smaller salaries. Two representative citizens who reside some distance from the - county seat were in cur office a few days ago and expressed I he ~ belief that the residents of tba Taral districts were more anxious to vote out the dispensary than .rr-" ?'.?3$ the residents of the towns, because the present mode of selling liquor -iias - wrought greater demoraliza tion in tho country that, in the -towns. The young mon in some jutions send and- get several '?quarts or a demijohn and have - neighborhood sprees, often carry ing it to cburjb on,Sunday. ?Said the gentlemen above alluded to : . .'-If the. - town s. .will vote again st ;'-the dispensary th sre need be no Apprihensiou. about result of J th? ?l??tion onc ?^V-?:;:^^^-''/:-;^;^:,;-^; - : - .

His remains were interred in the cemetery, within a stoue's throw of his earthly borre. During the major portion of Capt. Ward's long life of 77 years he was a very active man-active in his private interests, active in his community's,, county's and state's affairs. In the troublous times rf J76 he donned the red shirt and rendered valuable ser vice in that trying txigeucy. Lau he served his county for two termt in the legislature, having alai been a director of the state peni tentiary. As the weight of year* pressed heavily upon him, caus ing a decline in health, Cap? ; Ward was forced to remain clot at home, yet he never forgot thos who needed a helping hand.

Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. 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 fall 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 sich you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraord nary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. 11 stands the highest for its wonderful cures . if the most distressing cases and is .'?old on its merits by all druggists i n fifty-, cent and ont-dol l?r alz-[ es.
