We hope that we will not be com-|

burning without coal? Ask brother1
Morse.
Dote Smith is up town nearly ev-j

It would really be amusing to see
a lot of fat men like Col. Kerr, Col.
Calvert and Albert Henry at work, i
So many politicians are trying to
get on the cotton platform that we
fear there will be no room for the
cotton.
From the condition of the bridges
in Abbeville Countv. we are able to'
judge that mules' legs are cheaper J
than lumber and labor.
We believe that the law should be
so amended that a man will not be
allowed to pay over two dollars per
. month on his debts.
We fear with the exodus of the

clerks to the farms and other essen
tial industries, that Furniture Ker:
will be be compelled to go to work
Here's hoping.
Von Hertling has been for th
fourteen points all the time, he says
and in a little while we hope to mak<
him swallow about twenty-eight.
Now that the lawyers have seei
that all questionnaires have beei
filled out, it is about time that M?
McAdoo, or some of his hired men
issue another indictment agains

From the number of governmen

hired a few extra printing offices.
FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.
The United .States Governmen
will, on Saturday, offer the larges
loan ever offered by any governmen
in the world at one time. Six bil
lions of dollars worth of bonds, bear
ing four and one-half per cent, in
terest will be offered to the peoph
of this country at par.
That the whole amount, and more
will be subscribed goes without say

ing. Witn tne passing mvuiua w<
people of this country have seen vie
tory come to the American arms
they have seen a small body of mei
grow into an army of nearly tw<
millions of men; they have learne<
that this country is in war in ear
nest, and they have made up thei:
minds for the sacrifice necessary t<
make the world free, and the peopli
a free people. With the coming o
the casualty lists, the people havi
dedicated themselves again to thi
work which lies ahead of them. Th
people will do their duty. The void
of the patriot is now heard all ove
the land. The thoughtless hav
ceased to talk, the disloyal have gon
to prison. V/e are one in the prose
cution of the great war for humai
freedom. The bonds will be boughl
But we are chiefly interested i:
the showing which is to be made b
the South. With the talk abou
price-fixing there has come talk tha
the South may not subscribe as lib
erally as-otherwise to this loan. Thi
is a mistake. The South is patriotic
Prices have been fixed on coal an
wheat and other things which th
South has been compelled to buj
The people of the South, throug
this price-fixing, have been save
millions of dollars, and yet those
whose products have had a pric
fixed upon them, have not sufferec
because we live under a just govern
ment, and the prices fixed have bee
reasonable, yes, liberal. It has bee
unfortunate, we think, that the fix
ing of a price on cotton has bee:
delayed so long, but it will be fixed
if at all, in the next few days.
The price which may be fixed wil
be a reasonable one. It will be fixei
by the men appointed for the pur
pose, with the concurrence of Presi
dent Wilson, who has, in every em
ergency, proved a friend to this peo
pie. We may expect what is reason
i 1 \1 r* onrl -Poii* Wo mnef vnmorMKo
that the government and the othe
peoples of the earth are to buy fron
necessity while we sell mainly fo
profit." Let us, therefore, not bi
ereedy. Let us accept the deliver
ance of the president and his ap
pointees when they have acted. An<
then let us get down to business.
The war has brought great wealtl
lo this section. The people are abli
without hurt to themselves, to bu;
many times the amount of bond
which will be allotted to this section
We hope that they will go about tin
buying with that patriotic spiri
which has always been a heritage o
the South. Thousands and thousand
of dollars are being made in Abbe
ville County, and in every othe:
county in the state, by the fanners
Tho t^nnntc nrwl tVin
the owners and all others are reap
ing a great harvest in golden dollars
The owners of the farms will bu:
bonds, and they should encourag*
their tenants and laborers on share:
to invest some of the profits whicl
are coming to them in this govern
ment loan. Most of all they should
at this time, discourage every spe
cies of extravagance and waste, an<
undertake to teach the less informe<
the spirit of thrift and patriotism.
Let us make a great drive! Le
us cross the mark early! All to
gether!

i "I want to see the Dreco Man,"
Announced a middle aged man as he
f crowded his way into the Farrisst|
Klutz Drug Store in Greensboro a
few days ago. "I want to see this
j man and tell him what Dreco did for
tj me and my wife so that he can pub"ilish
my experience to the world."
21 The Farriss-Klutz Store was crowd j
i i ed with customers but everybody in- J
?j eluding clerks and customers, stopped j
a 1 *- J a- 1 nnfltiii!!.!
& ano Turnea ip near wnat una cumuoi-i
| astic man had to say. And it wasj
j well worth their while for he told j
| an interesting story.
j The man, it developed later, was!
'' John Basinger, a carpenter of Proximity
Station, and he has given permission
for the-publication of his;
"j strange story just as he told it then. ^
"j This is what he said: | ^
"j "I have bought three bottles of| ^
2 j Dreco. My medicine isn't all out but^
11 came here tonight to tell you how( ^
?: much good Dreco has done for myself ^ v
and wife.
2, "I bought the three bottles about j
";two weeks ago. At that time I was( f
? so bad off I hadn't been able to work
1 a whole week.
5 "As bad as I need money .1
* wouldn't take a thousand dollars to- d
" I night for what this medicine has t
rj done for me. My back ached so bad t
5, that it felt like someone was jabbing
B a knife into me. I couldn't sleep for s
^ j the awful pains I had. If anyone
e | had slapped me on the back I know
ejl would have fainted.
ej "I took 16 boxes of a certain kind
ejof popular kidney pills, have been
r i treated by good professional men, I
ej and now a few bottles of Dreco has
e;done what all others nave lanea in, i t
l_! for tonight I am a well and strong j
rt|man again, with not a pain in my J
j body. t
"See how I can stoop and bend i
y,over! How I can hit myself on the!
small of my back! It's ;wonderful
't| what Dreco has done! I sleep so .
' , sound now that I don't hear the
s I whistle blow of mornings.
:-j "My wife has suffered from rheud
matism and Dreco has relieved every
e, pain in her body. Both of us have
T \ told many of our friends about this
h;good medicine and I want every suf
d.fering man and woman to know
V about what it has done for me and
e mine."

I Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back ?

forma uric acid. a
i
e s
y We are a' nation of meat eaters and ?
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a :1
s well-known authority, who warns us to j
. be constantly on guard against kidney fl
e trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free ^
t the blood of this irritating acid, but 5
f become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminativc tissues clog
b and thus the waste is retained in the *
- blood to poison the entire system.
r When your kidneys ache and feel like jj
lumps of lead, and you have stinging
' pains m the back or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder is irritaUe,
obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessy
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
B four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
s tablespoonful in a glass of water before
1 breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
" famous salts is made from the acid of
;f grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
i to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
j no longer a source of irritation, thus
, ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
t injure; makes a delightful effervescent
_ I lithia-water drink, and nobody can mak?
a mistake by taking & little occasionally
I to keep the kidneys clean and active.?
