August 4lh, lu 14. Annual Excursion. On August 1-2 the Southern rail road will operate a special tram from Augusta to Washington, D. C., making the very low rate of >'12.75 from Edgefield to \u? na tional capital and return. This will give those who desire to taite a sum mer trip a splendid opportunity to visit Washington. From an educa tional standpoint there is no other city in America that offers so many attractions to visitors. A week could be spent in Washington very profitably and then lhere would be many things of interest yet to be seen. We would like to see a num ber of Edgefield people take advan tage of the very low rate to Wash ington. There are also special rates offered to points in Virginia and North Carolina. Read the large ad vertisement of the Southern rail road in this issue. Consider the Knocker. One of our exchanges said recent ly: "Newspaper men have a hard time. If we say nice things in our paper, we seldom hear from them, but if we make a mistake, or if some one fails to see what they think we ought to see, the paper is criticised." That's too sadly true. Its an old saw "that the doctor buries his mis takes, but the newspaper man can't hide his." Did it ever occur to you, how few mistakes creep into the newspapers. 'Tn yesterday's issue of The Daily Intelligencer, there were nearly 200 separate arti cles and items. Is there a merchant in Anderson who can <ro on day af ter day, wrapping np 200 s?parait? articles without making some mis takes? Newspaper workers are a proud race of peuple. They love their \ ork. They are jealous of its good repute. And whenever you hear a sore head or a failure, or a chea,, job hunter, knocking newspapers, don't believe what he says. He might be the biggest and meanest liar in creation. The best way is to read the newspaper and see for yourself what lt is. Thc man who can't use newspapers for his selli>li ends abuses them.-Anderson In telligencer. Heart Disease Almost Fatal to Yourtg Girl "My daughter, when thirteen years old, waa stricken with heart trouble. Sho was so bad wo had to place her bcd near a window so she could sr-t her breath.

She took a great many bot tles, but she la ypnred to me to day, a fat. rosy chocked girl. No one can Imagine the confidence I have in I>r. Miles' Heart Remedy." A. R. CANON. Worth, Mo. Thc unbounded confidence Mr. Canon has in Dr. Miles' ll curt Rem edy is shaftH by. thousands of others who know its value from experience.
