Spring of 1909.
Messrs. Rives Bros. call attention
in their new advertisement this
week to their early spring arrivals
in laces, embroideries, ladies skirts

talk ofjthe town for some time.

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood.
\^eak and unhealthy kidneys are re
sponsible for much sickness and sufren n g,
therefore, if kidney
trouble is permitted to
continue, serious re
sults are most likely
to follow. Your other
organs may need at
tention, but your kid
neys most, because
they do most and
should have attention
first. Therefore, when
your kidneys are weak or out of order,
you can understand how quickly your en
tire body is affected and how every organ
'seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial will con
vince you of its great merit.
The mild and immediate effect of
Swamp-Root* the great kidney and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest because its remarkable
health restoring properties have been
proven in thousands ol the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine you
should" have the best.
Sold by druggists in
fifty-cent and one-dol
lar sizes. You may
have a sample bottle
by mail free, also a
pamphlet telling you TE?T3SSm?55r
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper
when writing to Dr. Kilmer '& Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. Don't make any mis
take, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, and don't let a dealer sell you
something in.place of Swamp-Root-if
you do you will be disappointed.

Messrs. Ramsey & Jones are in a
position to make very close prices,

Likes Williamson Plan.
A majority of farmers, so far as
our information extends, who have
tried the Williamson plan of grow
ing, corn are greatly ? pleased with
the results obtained.. While in con
versation with Mr.. M. DeLoach a
few days ago, he told the writer of
his success with Williamsom corn
last year. The only mistake he made
was in not using a very heavy ap
plication of fertilizers. This he fully
realizes and will use a greater quan
tity per acre during the present
year. Being a man of good judg
ment and one of the most success
ful farmers in the county, Mr. De
Loach's approval pf0the William
son plan is a very strong endorse
ment of this new method of culti
vating corn.
Young Clark's Hill Merchant.
Mr. C. M. Wates, the c >r->vpris
ing young merchant of Cia . Hill,
solicits your patronage in dry goods,
notions, hardware, ^groceries and
plantation supplies. He buys high
class goods and sells them at very
reasonable prices. Mr. Wates also
handles reliable fertilizers made by
the Georgia Chemical Works. Char
lie Wates is thoroughly honest from
the-crown of his head to the sole of
his feet and yon can depend upon
every ,wx>rd he says. Attention is
directed to his advertisement in
this issue.
An Up-to-date Market.
Edgefield may be behind some
towns along certain lines but in the
matter of an up-to-date, well-kept
market she claims first place. Mr.
H. H. Sanders' market on the cor
ner of the square is at all times sup
plied with home-raised meat of the
best quality, which instead of being
exposed, as is the case in some mar
kets, is placed in a large refrigera
tor made for that purpose. The mar
ket is so neatly kept that it is al
ways inviting. Mr. Sanders recently
had one side of the market filled
with attractive shelves and coun
ters and now carries a complete
stock of fancy groceries. It is his
purpose to keep up every depart
ment, re-ordering as the supply be
comes exhausted.
Your Patronage Solicited.
I desire to notify my friends and
the public generally that I have
purchased the Barber Shop on the
corner from Mr. A. J. Davis and
will conduct a first-class shop at the
same place. I will have a shilled
barber to assist me and guai.vntee
satisfaction.
I solicit your patronage.

Soldier Balks Death Plot.
It seemed to J A Stone, a civil
war veteran, of Kemp, Tex., that
a plot existed between a desperate
lung trouble and the grave to cause
his death. "I contracted a stubborn
cold," he writes, that developed a
cough that stuck to me, in spite of
all remedies for years. My weight
ran down to 130 pounds. Then I be
gan to use Dr. King's New Dis
covery, which restored my health
completely, I now weigh 178 pounds.

The College Magazine.
The Co-Ed, the college journal of
the S. C. C. I. student body, made
its appearance last week in a very
neat and attractive, dress. The maga
zine, both mechanically and editor
ially, is above the average of col
lege journals, reflecting lasting
credit upon Editorin-chief Taylor,
his corps of assistants and con
tributors. "P. P. B's." article en
titled "Our Military-ary-ary Man"
is especiallv good. Long live The
Co-Ed!
Cold Not Yet Over. <
Both the ground hog theory and
the seven stars point to a long
3rawrn-out winter. It is said that the
seven stars can be seen in dark
nights almost over head, and that
there is danger of severe cold until
they set with the sun. Without
considering the signs farmers are
pressing forward with their work,
und they are right.
Will Plant Two Acres.
Of the scores of farmers who
have recently informed- us that they
are planning to enter The Adverti
ser's corn growers' contest, one has
said that he is arranging to plant
two acres, cultivating them by differ
ent methods, and reporting next
fall the one from which the greatest
yield is obtained. This is a capital
idea. Such an experiment would be
exceedingly helpful aside from the
profit derived from the yield.
Every dollar expended in labor and
fertilizers for corn will bring ten
fold returns.
