WEDNESDAY, MAR. 29, 1905.
Can a newspaper cou si ste ntl y
publieh advert? semen ts for whole
Bale liquor dealers, directing those
who drink the accursed stuff to go
lo the dispensaries for certain
brands, and then abuse the dis
pensary for selling liquor ? That
is what some are doing.
A hen-pecked New York hus
band, has offered to give one thou
sand dollars to charity if a "per
fectly happy married man"can be
found. Perhaps this much-to-be
pitied mortal can make such an
offer with - safety in the north
where mannish women and divor
ces galore abound, but were he loi
come south-to Edgefield, for in
stance-he would be. ke.pt^-busy i

^Hftir promises aud resolu
tions oncirainj the reduction
of cotton acreage. Ju lesB than
thirty short days the die will be
cs-st. Either a larg.? or email
crop will have been planked.
Which shall it be ? The farmers
must an?wer. Suffice it to say
that oue or two more crops like
that of 1904 will put the persist
ent, all-cottou farmer out of busi
ness, and then the problem will be
easier of solution. Let each in
dividual farmer in this county act
as 8eemeth best for his own per
sonal interest, which will mean a
very liberal planting of food crops.
Then the problem will be solved
so far as Edgefield is concerned.
- v A merchant of Kershaw, S. C.,
recently purchased a car of home
grown com from a near by farmer.
Such a transaction has never been
heard of in this county. Why
should not Edg?fieloMajjrier8:^?,?T
Edgefiel(i^rjie3^a*rrtT^corn ? At
" tue prevailing price, seventy-five
and eighty cents, it does seem that
. it could be done at a profit. Long
years ago, before the railroads
traversed every section of the
country, many of the planters in
this county., whose large log cribs
housed hundreds of bushels of
corn, used to sell this cereal, not
only to their less fortunate neigh
bors, but to the hog and horse
drovers from the west. How con
ditions have changed 1 Now the
westerner sells us cur corn, wheat,
bacon, horses and mules. s
JU any Claiming; Exempt ic n Are
Not Exempt.
An erroneous opinion prevails
in the minds of tax payers con
cerning the exemption from pay
ment of poll tax. So many claim
ed exemption in this county upon
various pleas, and there being so
great a diversity of opinion as to
the construction of the law relating
thereto, that Auditor Haltiwanger
addressed a letter io the Comp
troller GeneraljaBking for an expli
cit interpretation of the law. The
latter in turn submitted the mat
ter to the Attorney General whose
reply is as follows :
"Answering the inquiry of Mr.
J. B. Haltiwanger, auditor of
Edgefield county, referred by you
to this office, I beg to say that
section 259 of the code of laws of
South .Carolina, 1902, volume 1,
\and the annual supply acts, pre
scribing who are liable and who
exempt from the payment of poll
,tax, dope not exempt any one from
% the payment of the tax merely be
cause he is maimed, but only those
are exempt who are incapable of
earning a support by reason of
their being maimed, or from any
other cause. The material fact to
be determined in each case is
whether the person claiming the
exemption is incapable of earn
ing a support or not. If capable
of earning a support, and between
the ages of 21 and 60, with the
fxception of those 'especially ex
empted by law, as Confederate
Teterans, all male citizens must
pay the tax."
Some who claim exemption
should note these words in thc
foregoing: The law "does not ex
empt any one from the payment
of the lax merely because he is
maimed, but only those are ex
empt who are incapable of earn
ing a support by reason of their
being maimed, or from any other
cause." A doctor's certificate
ipili not exempt an individual
wheu the law sayb he must pay.
And we will Bay in passing that
.ire are constrained to believe ihat
some physicians are too lax in
issuing certificates of the a fere- \
?aid nature.

Over=Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
'.j. The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the v/aste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick cr out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesand 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
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
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 begin
ning 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, lt stands the highest for its
v/onderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty
cent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail
free, also pamphlet telling you how tb find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
