Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor tand cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has ' become so prevalent )| that it is not uncommon J for a child to be born P afflicted with weak kid1 neys. If the child urin . . ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should he towards the treatment ot these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

Camden, July 23?The most substantial business block in the city of Camden was destrojedby fire last night, the total loss aggrf gating about seventy thousand dollars, with insurance about thirty thousand del1 rt??Q 1C1 CI* The heavy loss was occasioned by the fact that the power plant of the 1 water works was recently destroyed by fire and has not been rebuilt, being now in process of construction. Fortunately there was no wind and the fire was stopped at the buildiDg of the Bank of Camden on one extreme of the square and Mr. P. T. Yillepegues on the other. The Columbia fire department promptly responded to a call for assistance, but the fire bad spent its force when they arrived. Business is suspended in the city today and every one is lending a helping band to the merchants who were fortunate enough to get their stock in the streets before their buildings weie destroyed. Clnu airlo nf the street nf the beat business block in the place was burned, one store being left on each corner. All the buildings save one were two-story brick structures, the other being a three-story one. Among the places burned was a building in which was the post office. The mails and post office contents were saved. The plate glass windows of the stores across the street were all \ cracked by the intense heat. Women and Jewels. Jewels, candy, flowers, man?that is the order of a woman's preferences Jewels form a magDet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often rained in the strenuous efforts to make or save the moDey to purchase them. If a woman will risk her health to get a coveted gem, then let her fortify herself against the inBiduous consequences of coughs, colds and bronchial affections by the regular use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup It will promptly arrest consumption in its early stages and heal the affected lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system. It is not a cure-all, but it is a certain cure for coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles. You can get this reliable remedy at Kaufmann's drug store.

Ifc seems to us that the candidates might spend a portion of their time on the stump in enlightening the people on the subject of taxes?ex- j planing why they are so high and j suggesting, if possible, some plan for j reducing them. There is no more j lmnnrf.anf cnhionf r?r?w hefnre tbe I ?" ?J--- ? I people. That taxes are high no one will un- j dertake to deny. Some insist that j they are no higher than neces- j sary, and simply dispose of the mat- i ter by saying, as Dr. Timmerman does, that there is no way to reduce ttiem now. If this be a fact, then it is encumbent upon the candidates to show why all the sums collected * from the taxpayers are needed. They ought to do it, if for no other purpose, to satisfy the public mind and quiet the unrest and dissatisfaction that is constantly increasing We presume if the people can be convinced that taxes are not higher than necessary and that there is no extravagancein salaries and appropriation s, they would pay their taxes more cheerfully. If taxes are no higher than they out to be candidates for office ought to be able to prove that fact; if they are too high, they ought to be able to suggest some means of reducing them and giviDg the people some relief. There is a very good reason why the subject of taxation should be discussed on the stump; that is, because the people at large do not really know the details of expenditures; they 86)dom see the reports of the State Treasurer and Comptroller General; the? do not know, therefore, just how their money goes. The State is collecting a good deal mor9 taxes now than it collected 10 or 15 years ago. This is not speculation but a fact, as the records will show. The general tsxee?that is taxes on property alone?amounted in 1888 to'$582,611 78; in .1901 they amounted to 8808,582 40?a difference o* nearly a quarter of million. The total income last year from the general taxas, dispensary fertilizer etc, was $3,391,774,877 together with a cash balance of $626,912.05, making altogether $4,018,686 92 The expenditures were 83,780,943 67, leaving a cash balance to be carried over to 1902 of $237,745.25. Comparing these figures with those of 1888, we find in that year the receipts were 81,267,603 26 and the expenditures 81,190.422 63. Among the expenditures for 1901 may be mentioned those for higher elucationin the State institutions. These amounted to 8*242 898 74, besides $37 798 6f received from the United States government through t'ae Morrill fund and the interest on t ie land scrip. .It may be of interest to note in passing, in connection with Co. Talbert's Rpecial "issue" that while the State pays 8234,898 74 for higher and industrial training of the whites, it pays just 88,000 fnr flic The Same Old Story. J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar to that which hae happened in almost every neighborhood in the United States and has been told and re told by thousands of others. He says: "Last summer I had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used according to directions and with entirely satisfactory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than former attacks when I used other remedies.*' Mr. Kelly is a well known citizen of Henderson, N. C hor sale by J m. Jtvauimann.
