God Give Us Men. God give us men. The time demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faithl and willing hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buv; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor, men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a dema gogue And damn the treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private think ing! For while the rabble with their thum worn creeds, Their large professions and little deeds Mingle in selfish strife; lo! Freedom weeps ! Wrong rules the land, and waiting jus tice sleeps ! -By Request. Unity in Purpose. A united people can accomplish great things. The country that is united in ideals and sentiment has nothing to fear in econ?mico, so ciology and citizenship. It is that unanimity of pnrpose that assures the success of a united people. As a nation we are not making use of our opportunities for co-operation as we should. We have not fully realized the close connection be tween the manufacturer and the farmer; the transportation compa nies and the shippers; the profes sional man and the business man; the merchant and the farmer; the capital and labor. We have not made nse of the fact that eveiy citi zen engaged in serving society in a legitimate way is a factor for co operation, and his interest must not be ignored in any system for economy. The richest, most prosperous and most independent countries m the world are where people produce an abundance of food and clothing and have developed markets so that the surplus is disposed of economically. This cannot be done by antagonism, strife and bitterness engendered by selfishness existing among classes and occupations. It must be done by co-operation and good will to all, and with special emphasis to economy and efficiency. If this re quires monopoly it must be a mo nopoly for the benefit of the people. Every farmer should be proud that he is a farmer; believe it is the best occupation among men; that in producing the people's food he is rendering society a great service as well as himself and his family. But he should recognize the importance of his fellowmen in other legitimate occupations. Markets must be bad; the things that we cannot produce mtfst be bought; professional servie es must be had; manufacturing, transportation, merchandizing, bank ing, etc., are necessary; facilities for education, recreation and hu man efficiency must be in our reach. To get the best results for our selves, our state and our nation we should strive each to help the other and thus be helped by co-operation that builds up society and makes the earth a better place to live in. -Farm & Ranch. Poultry on The Farm. No other form of intensive agri culture is better suited to help feed our rapidly increasing population \ vhan poultry raising. A very small area devoted to poultry raising will produce enough to supply a family. Could the entire farm produce yield as muebjaccording to the area as that which is tiseu to raise poultry there would be larger crops and better profits for thwse who till the soil. A small flock of fowls even under conditions of low prices and little attention given to the fowls may afford considerable revenue. The fowls on the average farm usually have few rsstrictions. They jnust let the crops and the stored grain alone, but with this exception they must have the courtesy of the farm; roost where they choose and eat what they can find. With better care and attention the farm fowls could produce more wealth and be a better source of profit on the farm. It would only be necessary to get good foundation stock and use,care in selection and feeding, and see to it that the birds are properly housed and fed. A dozen hens from a strain of heavy i layer? might be more profitable than two dozen of the type often found in the farmyard. This is the season for increasing the flock. There will be a demand or fresh eggs and poultry on the ble of the farm manager. It now ms likely that the market will ke care of more than has been roduced in the past. A few dollars r week from the hens will go a ? ng way toward meeting the ex nse of necessities.-Farm & Fae ry. . m m_ R "SARK-A No. 0 Liddell mi+1,-48-inch diston saw, a yoke .good oxen -five- years old, good gine and bailer..

The celebration will be the latter part of February, so as not to conflict with the day chosen by the New Century Club. The hostess was assisted by her mother, Mrs. H. W. Crouch, and Mesdames Earl Crouch and C. P. Corn served a most delightful course of salads, sandwiches and chocolate. One of the most pleasant social affairs of last week was given by Mrs. E. R. Mobley, those present being the members of the Pi Tau club and a few other invited guests. Mrs. Olin Hamilton who was one of the most beloved members before her marriage took her to Virginia, was the guest of honor. Several ta bles of rook were enjoyed and at tbe ending of the game the honore? was presented with a set of forget me-not hat pins. A tempting salad course with coffee and whipped cream was served, the hostess being assisted by Mrs. P. N. Keesee and Miss Marion Mobley, So pleasant was the time spent that all very re luctantly made adieux. Mr. James Qua ri es died here at his home about 11:30 o'clock last F?day evening after a lingering illness. He was in his 21st year and was a young man of many noble traits of character. He was very pa tient during all his illness and was a Christian man. At.the time of his death the conditions in the home were very patbetio, all of the mem bers of the family being critically ill, and friends and neighbors were very kind and thoughtful to them in their distress. The body was car ried to Bethlehem burying ground for interment. Miss Lillian Smith of Newberry spent last week here with her sister. Mrs. J. L. Walker. Miss Julia Jumper of Springfield was a guest last week in the home of Mrs. F. L. Parker. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Watson most delightfully entertained the teach ers of the high school on Monday evening. Prof. W. F. Scott stated at the opening exercises of the school on Wednesday morning last that Lee and Washington university bad offered scholarships to the young gentleman of the graduating class making the highest average. Mr. Hill Ready is the only young man in the large class of 1916. It was fitting that the announcement should have been on the birthday of Robert E. Lee, one who has meant everything to this noted university. . ALL WRONG. The Mistake is Made by Many Edgefield Citizens. Look for for the cause of back ache. To be cured you must know the cause. If it's weak kidneys you must set the kidneys working right. An Edgefield resident tells you how. John D Smith, overseer at cotton mill, Edgefield, says: "The kidney secretions were too frequent in pas sage and verv scanty. They were highly colored and I had to get up several times during the night to pass them. I also bad headaches and dizzy spells. Friends recom mended Doan's kidney pills and as I bad also seen them advertised, I decided to try them. One box cured me of all symptoms of kidney trouble." Price 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's kidney pills-the same that Mr. Smith had. EWer-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
