Mosquitoes, flies and other insects, which breed quickly in garbage pails, pond of stagnant water, barns, musty places, etc., are carriers of disease. Every time they bite you, they inject poison into your system from which some dread disease may result. Get a bottle of Sloan's lini ment. It is antiseptic and a few ^Jrops will neutralize the infection ?caused by insect bites or rusty naiis. ^Sloan's liniment disinfects cuts, * bruises and sores. You cannot afford to be without it in your home. Mon ey back if not satisfied. Only 25c at your druggist. Summer Constipation Dangerous Constipation in summer time ?6 more dangerous than in the fall, winter or spring. Tho food you eat is often contaminated and is more likely to ferment in your stomach. Then you are apt to drink much -cold water during the hot weather, thus injuring your stomach. Colic, fever, ptomaine poisoning and other ills are natural reBults. Po-Do-Lax will keep you well, as it increases the bile, the natural laxative, which rids the bowels of the congested poisonous waste. Po-Do-Lax will make you feel better. Pleasant and effective. Take a dose to-night. ?Oe at your druggist Costly Treatment I was troubled with constipation and indigestion and spent hundreds of dollars for medicine and treat ment, writes C H Hines, of Whit low, Ark. "I went to a St. Louis hospital, also to a hospital in New Orleans, but no cure was effeoted. On returning home I began taking Chamberlain's tablets and worked right along. I used them for some time and am now all right. Sold by all dealers. Brookway buggies have advanta ges, you find not in others, regard less of price. Wilson & Cantelou.

There are four murder cases. We ander stand that Judge DeVore has stat ed that it is his purpose to hold court tho entire week in order to clear the docket. Judge DeVore is right in taking this position. The farmers are practically through with their work now and have more time to serve as jurors and witnesses in August than in October. In the past, some of the judges have been dis posed to shirk their duty, onl.\ hold ing court one or two days and then adjourning because they wanted to go away lo the mountains or springs. The people of the county will be grateful to Judge DeVore for clear ing the docket in August while they , j are not busily engaged in their, farms. Compulsory Education. Do our citizens who oppose coin-j pulsory education realize the fact, that chere are now 25,000 more ne gro children in the public schools : of this state than white children? '1 his is exactly what the report of ! J. E. Swearingen, state superinten dent ol' education, shows, and, he gets his facts and ligures from the county superintendents. It' a com pulsory education law was passed it would be the white children who would be compelled to attend school and not the negro children, j The negro children are already in , school and the white children are '< staying away from school and the' compulsory law would be enacted ' for their benefit and not for the j benefit of the negro children. Be-; sides the enforcement of the law j would be in the hands of the school j trustees and you would not tin I the school trustees going around chasing little negroes oat of the cotton patch ' into the school house, btu uiidsuui mer or midwinter would be selected . for their attendance on school, when they are not needed in the fields. In other words, the enforcement of the law will be in ti e hands of the farmers themselves, just as the di vision of the public school money is now in their hands. Look for a moment at the otherside of the pic ture. If 25,000 more negro chi 1 dren than white children are annu ally taught to read and write in this state what sort of race conditions will we have in South Carolina in two or three generations? You might get those who are opposed to compulsory education to draw you a picture of that future, and you will reach the conclusion that a man who is opposed to compulsory edu cation is an enemy to his own white race.-York News. Good Reason for his Enthusi asm. When a man has suffered for sev eral days with colic, diarrhoea or other form of bowel complaint and is then cured sound and well by one or two doses of Chamberlain's colic, cholera and diarrhoea remedy, as is often the case, it is but natural that he should be enthusiastic in his praise of the remedy, and especial ly is this the case of a severe attack when life is threaten. !.

As there has been a very decided decline in the price of Ford cars, they will doubtless become more popular than in the past. The Advertiser has been informed that Messrs. Hatcher and Edwards of Johnston have sold 10 car loads of Fords since the first of January, and it is probable, with the lowered price, that they will sell as many more before the close of the year. Remarkable Cure of Dysentery. I was attacked with dysentery about Joly 16, and used the doctor's medicino and other remedies with no relief, only getting worse all the time. I was unable to do anything and my weight dropped from 145 to 125 poundn. I suffered for about two months when I was advised to use Chamberlain'* colic, cholera and diarrhoea remedy. I used two bot tles of it and it gave me permanent relief"' writes B W Hill of Snow Hill, N. C. For sale by all dealers. How the Trouble Starts.

Congressman Byrnes Gave Ac count of his Stewardship. Mr. Mixson Presented His Record. Yesterday the two candidates for Congress, Hon. James F. Byrnes and Hon. R. M. Mixson, addressed about 10? voters in the court house. I The meeting was presided over by lion. J?. E. Nicholson who present: ed Mr. Byrnes as the first speaker. Ile jailed attention to some local matter which concerned" the people of the district directly. He secured an appropriation for the purpose of eroding a bridge in the lower part of Beaufort county which enabled the farmers of that section to mar ket their produce in Savannah. He also secured an appropriation of ?100,000 for the improvement of the internal waterways along the At lantic coast, enabling those residing along thes<" streams to secure cheap er rates for transportation. Mr. Byrnes secured for this di-trict ?20,000 for the improvement of public roads. Of this sum $10,000 were offered to Ed gefiel cl but suffi cient money cou'dj not be raised locally to comply with the condi tions imposed by the government. Mr. Byrnes has established tb rural routes in the 2nd district during the past three and a half years, enabling 2.500 families to have their mail de livered at their doors. Mr. Byrnes staled that he worked for the nomi nation of Hon. J. Wm. Thurmond for position of district attorney for South Carolina, and that he was greatly disappointed when the president announced his decision to nominate some one else for the po sition. He explained why he voted to repeal the canal toll exemption act, thus saving the government 82,500,000 annually The first speech he made in congress was up on the repeal of the duty on farm ing implements, bagging and lies and other necessities of life. He spoke at some length of the tariff legislation and what it has accom plished. He.stated that the loss of revenue incident to the decreased duty has been made up by the en actment of the income tax law, causing the burden to fall on the rich mau. Mr. Byrnes then went into a discussion of the new cur rency law at some length. ;He then referred to his efforts to secure funds for the improvement of the public roads. A bill carrying au ap propriation for road improvement has passed the House and is now in the senate. If this becomes a law it will provide about 8450,000 for the roads of South Carolina. In concluding Mr. Byrnes referred to the prestige that the South has won by keeping congressmen in office for a long term of years. This policy has enabled the southern states to control most of the impor tant committees. The second and last speaker was the Hon. R. II. Mixson of Barnwell county. Ile stated that it was a pleasure for him to come as a farm er before the people of old Edge field, he having been engaged con tinuously in farming since he don ned the red shirt in 187?. He made a hurried review of his work as a member of the general assembly in 1913 and 1914. His initial bill was one providing that all supplies for public institutions be purchased in open market from the lowest re sponsible bidder, claiming that this effected a saving of at least ID per cent. Mr. Mixson ai so referred at some length to the fight which he made in the house in the interest of education, especially the common schools. He also introduced and se cured the passage in the house of a \ two-cents rate bill, this measure meeting death in the senate. He ' supported in the house a senate bill K to require Clemson college to fur nish hog cholera serum to farmers free of cost. Mr. Mixaon favored , the pawage of a bill abolishing the hosiery mill ia the penitentiary and ^ opposed the payment ?by the state of a sum to the operator of the mill for alleged damaged sustained throQgh the violation of the con tract made by the state. ' In discuss ing the question of good roads, Mr. Mixson said that the public high ways cannot be improved by taxa tion. Such a large sum would be required that it would bankrupt the people to raise the necessary amount. He strongly urged government aid. He also advocated the dairying of the valuable lands on the cost, stat ing that the government is spending millions in the west irrigating arid plains. Mr. Mixson referred to the fact that in 1?04 he called Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to account for an error that was made in the estimate of the cotton crop, claiming that the servico which he thus ren dered had much to do with the rise in the price of cotton at that time. Mr. Mixson spoke of the possible effect which the present war in Europe will have upon the price of cotton when it is. marketed, stating that the.national'governrnent should Edgefield, S.

His sugges tion was that the government pro vide for storing the cotton in ware houses and lend farmers to the imount of 10 cent? per pound at three per cent interest. Mr. Mixson refeired briefly to Bome portions of Mr. Byrnes rec ord of the past three years, and af ter he had concluded hie speech Mr. Byrnes was granted a reply of five minutes. He likewise found some vulnerable points in Mr. Mixson's legislative record. The expressions from those present indicated that a very large majority will support Mr. Byrnes, who has become very popular among the people of Edge field county.
