Probably nowhere else does the wind blow so hard and steadily as in the Falkland islands. Tree growth is practically impossible owing to this peculiarity, and with such force does the wind sweep that region at times ^ that potatoes and turnips have been k known to be blown out of the ground. Grass, however, grows luxuriantly. __ da No Fooling Goes Here.

A friend told me about Dr. Kilmer's Swanip-Root% and as I had .tried ta everything else that I heard of, I \v< bought a bottle of Swamp-Root ar and it did wonders for me. I prixei it higher than any other medicine! and I shall recommend it to my ta friends. I wish to add right here op that after using Swamp-Root for two 0f months I began to straighten up .. and am now sound and well, and ri' fee! like I might live a long time tl* yet to tell what your medicine has ni done for me.

' ^ THE LANCASTER NE FROM MR. J. W. TWITTY. )ur Venerable Georgia Corrc pondent Makes Interesting Observations on a Variety of Topis.

Poor John Crawford ragic death cannot be dwt pon by a loving grandfathe ut we are here to meet the i Lies of life as they come to i nd therefore we now join otl rs in profoundest symnatt ir the family?his dear wif lother and sister. The mar riends and sympathizers a ;nding the funeral attest tl indly feeling of the common j towards the bereaved, ave every reason to belie^ lat John meant well and th? will so turn out?that no or in claim him a debtor. C jurse we were greatly shod 1 when the wires brought tt 2ws of his death (without pa culars) but we have conside 1 our duty in the premise id that is to forget the thing rnt are behind and press foi ard to those things which ai ?fore, etc. Now so far as po; ble let all the kindred an iends fall in line and makd th st sentiment their rule of a< on. We are having delightfi eat her these days and some r ir townsment (and farmers a ell) are looking after thei irdens. in fact some have )od showing in that direct in ; thi^ time. I don't think er saw turnips look as prop :ng this season of the yea d'ore. Sea Island cotton (on lief, product in that line) i orth 27c today and the plant s in this section are hoping t we an experiment station e.^ blished here thSis seasoi fiat is the state undertakes t irnish means to stimulate th >st yields by using the bes ed and fertilizers also hav :perts to test the soil bes lopted to its growth.

The fruits of the intempei e use of liquor were so man st at Elgin recently that ar her strong argument is in th nd for its legislation out c le country. In this case th 'esence of a lady teache akes the riot more repreher ble. If a man had been i large of the school such b< ivior would have been ver rong, but it was doubly s nee one of our nice jrirls wa charge. I have no doubt br le young men are renentin: the craze liquor led then, ir i, and it is to be hoped tha ich a manifestation will nc llow in any communit mceforth and forever. My attention has been cal I to the wonderful stride the Raptist church in J>?ut irolina in recent years. I le town, comparatively smal e church or congregation ha 100 members, pays the preach $1,500 salary and furnishe m a stenographer and type iter and a splendid parsonag le membership is in perfec irmony.

They do so notwith>f standing the y are warned to is the contrary. ir It seems to me the policy of 0 the government, in such cases, v hould be to offer no protection 1 to the sufferers. Senator Jones v of Washington, denounced as r unpatriotic American citizens ir who imperilled the nation by s taking passage on belligerent t- vessels. o All this trouble writing notes by President Wilson, to foreign i- nations, enngaged in war, has o been uncalled for. It looked to e the protection of our citizens t who heedlessly and against ad 0 vice put themselves in danger, t Of course my opinion weighs t nothing, but I have a right to i- express it. I take it. that your town and county as well, is moving for ward along all lines. The s: streets in the city are being ^ paved, a year ago they were al' most impassable, and the chief " road called by some, the "king's high way," is being e worked and kept in order. It is a big undertaking to keep this *- road in order. Its length and 1 -' condition, I know every foot of >- it, tells me it is hard to keep it e up. It would be hard to find a >f worse road any where than it e is between the court house and r Waxhaw creek. It appears, however, that some of your n i leading men have the matter , in hand and avow that the high y way between Kershaw and o Reala Sizer's place must be is henceforth in good shape and it of course it will be so. P Your county has other roads I- ...L! .U t- " -1 wmcn nave neen worked of late and consequently your trade is better. Let the prood .v work pro on. In many respects Lancaster is lookinpr up mateI rially and otherwise, and I will s be allowed to conprratulate your h citizens for the stand taken on n fhe liquor question and further I, tender my new year greetings s and wish for your county and i- state a more prosperous year s (1916) than the last (1915). !

Tillman; " John R. Morton of Belton, and A. H. Dagnall, of Anderson. 1 No opposition has as yet at? ] peared to Congressman R. S. Whaley in the first; Congress" man J. F. Byrnes in the second, - and Congressman A. F. Lever 1 in the seventh. j Congressman S. J. Nicholls, of the fourth, who is serving . out the unexpired term of Hon. J. T. Johnston, who was appointed illdoro ui me western " federal district, has two, an" nounced candidates against him ' already, A. H. Miller, of Greer, ' and Alva H. Dean, of Green ville. Whether R. A. Morgan, ' of Greenville, who ran the sec1 ond race with Mr. Nicholls be1 fore. will again enter is not " known. However, this race has not been heard much of from the visitors here from that district. There is one factor which is <roing to figure in the congressional races next summer to a large extent, and that is the : matter of patronage. Some of the incumbents have left many irritations in certain parts of their districts over postottice appointments, and in some places indications are that this will have a large part to do with the result at the ballot box as far as those particular localities are concerned HILLY SUNDAY ON PREPAREDNESS. There may be doubts about Hilly Sunday's theological mania rs. and some persons even question his financial methods, but there is no doubt whatever that he belongs absolutely and without condition or mental reservation of any kind to the most aggressive branch of the church militant. He is stirring up Trenton. N. J., just now, and is letting Trenton know with picturesque frankness what he thinks about everything. To the saintly pacificators who think it a deadly sin for a na"on to hit back, we commend his reply to a Trenton inquirer who asked him during one of the meetings Sunday if he was for preparedness.

This has not much to do with religion as ordinarily taught, we admit, but it is fine Americanism, if not unexceptionable orthodoxy. We think the government might do a wise thing to hire Billy Sunday to preach up national preparedness.
