Some small, knee-pants boys/, ii ~ leefield ars?, regular " smokers, of irettes, which they purchase un*, tully from merchants in Edge ield.,' We do not believe the mer* lants vj?late the law th?nWlves by eiling cigarettes; ta minors- bnt ome of the clerks do, either wilful ly or thoughtlessly. Our merchants should! instruct their clerks not to riolate.the law. Ref using ..to. sell cigarettes to minora will not prevent their getting them . altogether but it will "make cigarettes more difficult to-obtain, as well as show, the boys that the 'coffin nails" ar> unde* the ban of the law. .

But we are satisfied that ' the contests". are accomplishing the- purpose for which they were inaugurated, that of stimulating the farmers.to grow more corn . and grain; therefore, we feel amply compensated.for the out- J lay. . / Queen of The Carnival. The ladies who have been appoint ed by the Fair, Association to take r- charge of -sev?al departments of the Gounty Fair have, decided that Queen of the,; Carnival should be "chosen to occupy the position of honor in t he floral parade.

His Kiding Ability Tested. A New Jersey farroer,whose farm is near, a school for boys, was great ly annoyed by the depredations of the youngsters. Finding two of the boys helping -themselves to his choice apples, be! ushered them from ^is'premiijes, ajbly'assisted by the toe of his boot. The following day he found the same boy? loitering in the vicinity of his orchard, fence.*. . "What yoong, scamps hangin' round here for?" he shouted. I told yoti yesterday what, you'd git if I caught you on my land ag'in." "Yes, sir we remember," exclaim ed the spokesman. "We didn't come for, apples this time. '.

Most.Edgefield people work every day in ? some strained, unnatural position-bending constantly over a desk-riding on jolting wagons or cars-doing laborious housework; lifting, reaching or pulling, or try ing the back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kid neys until they fall behind in their .work of filtering the poisons from |he blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in backs. Edgefield cures prove it. Wajtiir Dorn, Cedar E^rw, Edge field, S. C., says: <4I used Doan's Kidney'Pills &id consider'them to be a fine remedy for any trouble arising from disordered, kidneys. I was a victim of kidhey complaint for a considerable length of time and my back often pained meso severely that I could hardly do^tny work. The kidney secretions also too fre quent and were unnatural. Up on learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box and since using them, I have been free from pain in my back and also from thekid Dey weakness."

The first grade teacher had been able to spank Tommy with the great est enthusiasm, but his next teacher had not reached the point where she could do justice to nj ra in spite of all his naughtiness.
