there is a very interesting "enter
tainment in progress in the Parker
building south side of square, in'the
form of fancy glass blowing. The
Mitchell Glass Blowers are giving |
the show. It is a practical exhibi
tion of the manner in which glass j
is converted into various pretty ob
jects, and the facility and ease with
which the skilled operators produce |
numerous complicated and inter
esting objects ' is .surprising. The
glass blowers are giving to visitors
pretty souvenirs made under their
observation.

President Helps Orphans
Hundreds of orphans have been
helped by the President of tire In
dustrial and Orphan's Home at
Macon, Ga., who writes: "We have
used Electric Bitters in this insti
tution for nine years. It has proved
a most excellent medicine for stom
ach, i. /er and kidney troubles. We
regard it as one of the best family
medicines * a earth." It invigorates
the vital organs, purifies the blood,
aids digestion, creates appetite. To
strengthen and build up thin, pale,
weak children or run-down people
it has no equal. Best for female
complaints. Only 50c at W E

show that there are eighty-four au
tomobiles in Augusta, and their
value is estimated to be $84,000.
Many of the northern people who
are spending the winter in Augusta
have exceedingly handsome cars.
Some of them spend more for one
automobile than an average well
stocked farm costs. The Augusta
Chronicle has the following to say
of Mr. ?John D. Rockefeller's autos:
"Mr. John D. Rockefeller has
two cars here, one a Renault Lan
daulet, 30-hor3e power, capable of
seating six persons. The car is lux
urious and convenient in every de
tail. There are electric lights in it,
a tube by which to speak to the
chauffeur, ano!, in fact, eventhing
that speaks for comfort. The car is
valued at about $9,^00. It is the
highest priced car ever seen in Au
gusta. The other car, owned by Mr.
Rockefeller, is a Pierless, 6-cylinder,
touring car, in which seven persons,
can be seated. This is also a*very
handsome car and the largest in the
eitv. It is valued at $7,000."

Women's Woes.
Edgefield Women are Finding
Relief at Last
It does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity;
they must "keep up," must attend
to duties in spite of constantly
aching backs, or headaches, dizzy
spells, bearing-down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop
means torture. They must walk and
bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills.
Kidneys cause more suffering than
any other organ of the body. Keep
the kidneys well and health is easily
maintained. Read of a remedy for
kidneys only that helps and cures
the kidneys and is endorsed by peo
ple you know.
Mrs. M. Timmerman, Cedar Row,
Edgefield, S. C., says: "For three
or four months I suffered considera
bly from lameness in the small of
my back and could not get anything
to help me. My kidneys were also
out of order and when I heard that
Doan's kidney pills were good for
such tronbles, I went to Penn &
Holstein's drug store and'' procured
a box. They soon stopped the pain
and made me feel better in every
way. I consider Doan's kidney pills
a valuable kidney remedy and ad
vise others bothered as I was to give
them a trial."

Judge of Probate.
Probably no other county in the
state presents such a record in the
matter of long terms* of service of
county officers. Among those who
have enjoyed long terms in office is
Mr. J. D. Allen. He was elected
Judge of Probate December 6th,
Judge J. D. Allen
1887, and has served continuously
since that time. And not only has
j Judge Allen served 21 years, v but
I he has the assura?^?Tthat he can
hold the office as long as he desires
the eqiva?ent of a life tenure. , No
county in the state has a more con
scientious or more capable official
I and the people fully realize that they
are fortunate in securing Judge' Al
len to fill this office^
County Coroner.
In the primary last summer M
. A. Pruitt was elected coroner of
Edgefield county, having been re
Mr. P. A. Pruitt.
cently commissioned. This is the
first time that Mr. Pruitt has ever
held public office, but his friends
are confident that he will be faith
ful in the discharge of his duties.
Well Satisfied.
Under prohibition. in Anderson
the number of cases in the. police
court has fallen off, while the num
ber of business licenses issued and
the post office receipts and freight
receipts have grown. And that's why
Anderson is so well satisfied with
prohibition.-Anderson Mail.

No Land So Rich That Fertilizer
Cannot Make It Better
You use fertilizers for the profit you get out of them-and the
better the land the more profitably a good fertilizer can be used on it
Do not imagine because land will produce a fair crop without
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
that these fertilizers cannot be profitably used on it, or that they were
made only for land too poor to produce without mern. If poor land
will show a normal increase when fertilizer is used, good land will
show at least double the increase. Use Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers
to increase the quality, as well as the quantity of the crop-and you
will increase the profits from your land.
"I have been using your fertilizers for a number of years" says
Mr. William Fraiser, of Glasburg, La., "'andfind that it not only pays
to fertilize, but to do plenty of it, and use the best fertilizers to be
had, such as your brands. I have used a number of them and found
them to be as recommended and to give better results than any other
fertilizers that I have ever used."
Every planter and farmer should have a copy of the new 1909
Virginia-Carolina Farmers' Year-Book. Get a free copy from your
fertilizer dealer, or write our nearest sales office.
