The sporting world is agog over the performance of Lou Dillon, the i California mare that lowered the world's trotting record last Monday i * to a mile in two minutes. That is [ swapping time for distance at a s pretty lively gait. c ===== [ The Gaffney Ledger thus tersely ( puts it and we heartily endorse the c sentiment: "We like for people to s read this newspaper, but we don't * like for people to borrow it from their neighbors. Take a paper of your own and pay for it like a man, ( whether you like the editor or not, j and be happy in the feeling of in- ( dependence that accompanies man- I liness". i = I A kicker who is always kicking in j the oommunity is 110 advantage to 1 that community. He is too trifling ? to undertake anything himself and * is too selfish to encourage his neighbor, who is trying to get along. The ^ man who constantly discourages j but never encourages you is not your friend, no matter what pro- ( feasion he may make. The man I who never sees any good in his fel- 1 low man is lacking in that essential commodity himself.-Newport Times. A Michigan paper says that in , Chillicothe they are telling a good j story on a young man who holds a ( humble position in a printing office, t says the Kansas City Star. The ( young man is very fond of the 1 daughter of a minister, but his de otion to her is comparatively new. The other Sunday he went to church to hear the father of his inamorata preach, and unfortanately sat down where everybody could see him. The text was: "My daughter is J grievously tormented with the devil." ^ * Au economical person of Spartan- j burg was recently jerked up and fined ten dollars for violation of ( Section 484 of the United States , postal laws.

Maj Charles II Smith, who as 'Bill Arp" has appealed to thousinds of readers throughout his beoved Southland by his genial, lomely humor and philosophy, is no nore. The whole South stands at lis bier with bowed head and iching heart. The grief manifested it his death is more than a tribute ;o the genius of "Bill Arp", it is lue rather to a feeling of sincere af'ection produced by the kindly belevoleuce of the man. Ilis voice is Bent and the hand that guided his 'acile pen is still forever. Peace be o his ashes and may he in the un xplored country from whence no raveler returns reap the reward of 'one who loved his fellow-man". The Thornwell Orphanage. The Thornwell Orphanage, looted in Clinton, South Carolina, s an institution lor the Primary, High School and advanced edu:ation, both literatv and technilieal, ot orphan boys and girls, ['he institution is under the conrol of trustees appointed by the hree Synods of South Carolina, ieorgia and Florida but it revives from any religious denomilations and from any part ot our lomnion country. Orphans to be received, must >e witliout means of support ol heir own and hence the car# of hem rests upon the general pubic. Contributions for the aid of he institution are not ordered )V any church court; there are no igents canvassing the field asking or money; there are no collection x>xes on the premises of the inlit ul inn. The only dependence >f these orphans for their daily )re?d is on the goodness of God, he printed page and the gener>us help given by the press in ipreading information about the vork. The boys and girls are not legally bound to the institution but ire free to come and go. They ;boose to come.

As they are .veil taught in their books and ? - J : 4 ) u raiueu in vanuus uaues, turn as printing, carpentry, farming, aundermg and the like, they are ilways able to take care of themselves on leaving us. We have 102 orphans from South Carolina, 42 from Georgia, L6 from Florida, and 42 from welve other States and territories. Those who love the fatherless, [all of our200children are fatheress) can aid by sending flour, oolasses, sugar, rice, meal, or my other kind of provisions ex:ept vegetables, (which they 'aise for themselves) or bv gifts A money. The sum of five dollars will board aud clothe a child or one month. Almost anybody ian by that small gift, be a proectorofsome orphan for thirty lays. This may be sent simply o Thornwell Orphanage, or to Rev. Dr. Jacobs, Clinton, S. C., jvho will take pleasure in giving ddiiional information to any isking for it.

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. 1 I All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. ( fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil- I 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 f over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned blood through veins and arteries. 4 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 i 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 iNTL cent and one-dollar siz-|^RgBiMjBffK?22 es.
