THURSDAY. APRILS. I903.* - TWtl Half a loaf may be better than I I nothing, but in the estimation of the people of Charleston a Crum is worse than no bread. Senator Tillman used his pitchfork with characterislic vigor during his- wit to Charleston last week, MM?, the people laughed and applauded as if it were a delightful sensation to be impaled upon the . prongs of the Tillman pitchfork. Children are hothing if not imitaItlwe. A short time ago in Spartaubnrg county a teacher shot and killed one of his pupils, and last week in the nearby county of Anderson it was the pupil who shot his teacher and nearly succeeded in taking his life. If it become the cx* custom for teachers and pupils to If 8* gunning for one another \ the cause of education will be badly handicapped. The Hampton Memorial Commission met in Colnmbia last week and adopted a plan for raising the _ amount necessary to supplement the appropriation made by the Legislattnre for a suitable memorial to Gen Hampton. This plan is to reqnest the Confederate camps in each county to recommend five suitable persons as a county committee to collect funds and forward them to the central committee at Columbia. We hope that there will be no del ly r difficulty in securing the amount needed (about $9,000), and, above all, we should like to see a hand\ some subscription sent in from ; i Williamsburg connty. * t \ Hotice to Delinquents. 5?Ai ** ' ' * ??? A considerable number of names of persons in arrears to ' The Record are being dropped from the list'. This is no reflection upon them, it may be , that they are perfectly good for their debts and intend to pay them,-'but the RECORD cannot afford to continue the paper to those who are in arrears and who have paid nothing lately and have nothing about Davine. P Subscriptions are payable in advance. Some of the names to be dropped are of persons who subscribed within the past six months, but whojiave forgotten to pay. Of course /Jhe Record will be glad to have these subscribers, all of them, to pay up. and to continue the paper to them. It will be continued even to those who give us reason to believe that they intend to pay next fall. Those who get the paper, pay nothing and say nothing, neeeji-nof be offended when tfie^kper stops. rftl&li'U* -1 > - 4- V I SIf 1S1 HKl: OFFERS RESOLUTIONS AFPER- , < TAiNING TO SHAD FISHING.

All the blood In your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they filter 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 rheumatism come from excess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney troub'e. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is fivftr-wnrkinc in nnmnincr thi^k kMr.*u_ ~ ? ? o r r'"b 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 beginning 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 its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits i by all druggists in fiftycent and one-dollar slzes. You may have a sample bottle by mail Home of s?ramp-iu>oc free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y. Don't make any mistake, lnit. re member the name, Swa inn-Root, I)r Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the addre**, Binghamton, X.
