The attend ance was large and everv number of the carefully prepared program was well presented. The popular and efficient superintendent, Mr. W. B. Cogburn, presided and announced the program. The Sunday school attendance numbered 239 and there were scores of others who attended to witness the beautiful exercises. The school is graded according to the most modern system or meth od, and last Sunday was annual pro motion day. A large number of pu pils were passed up to a higher class or grade.

At the beginning of the year Mrs. Kennerly offered a prize to the scholar in her class who made the best record for attendance during the year. Mrs. Kennedy's class record showed that Master Harry Paul had not missed a single Sunday in the ?year, so he was awarded the prize, a beautifully bound copy of the Bible. This was presented in an appropriate manner by Prof. T. J. Lyon. The program Sunday morning was carried out as follows: Song by school. Responsive Bible reading. Prayer by superintendent. Recitation, "Thrice welcome," J. R. Timmerman, Jr. Song, Missionary hymn. Praise, Acrostic: "Our state for Jesus." Mrs. W. B. Cogburn's class. Recitation, "Praying and pay ing," Benjamin Cogburn.

Cleora a Happy and Busy Com munity. Since the elections are over and cotton and seed are a good price the future looks brighter to we "hay-seeds" in spite of the short cotton crop which is the shortest in a long time. If the farmers in their eagerness to get it off, rush it on the market all at once they will frive the speculators an excuse to depress the price. Let's all take the advice of the Progressive Farmer and ''gather fast and sell slowly." We are trying to have our school house remodeled in time for the fall term but so far have failed to get a carpenter to do the work. Mr. A. L. Brimson, Jr., who has a good position with Uncle Sara in Florida, is on a visit to his father, with his bride. Mr. John Hill from Beaufort is visiting his father, Mr. H. L. Hill. Mr. Hal Holmes has so much visiting: to do that he uses his mo torcycle in the morning and his buggy in the afternoon. Mr. W. M. Seigler is building him a new residence. Mr. Bob West is doing the work. Mrs. B. R. Thomas is still im proving and will soon be entirely recovered from her trip to the hospital. Mr. W. T. Reel has started up his gin again under the manage ment of Mr. Sam Bartley. Mr. C. M. Williams has r field of corn planted in velvet beans that will furnish more hog and cow feed than anything I have ever seen. A quantity of hay is being saved in this community and corn crops are fairly good which makes pros pects for future much brighter than last winter. Mrs. L. R. Brunson and Miss Ellie Minis have gone to Plum Branch to visit their aunt, Mrs. J. B. Adams. Subscriber. Good Democratic Record. The tariff is only a part of the Un derwood revenue law. In reducing taxes on consumption, of which the consumer pays far more than the gov ernment receives, and substituting a tax on incomes, which falls on the well-to-do in proportion to their ability to contribute to the support of the gov ernment, the Democratic party has been true to its promises, faithful to Its traditions and guided by the best opinion of expert economists. The law provided not only a sufficient revenue but a surplus that covered the year's costs of the Panama canal, until the great war disarranged our industries and interfered radically with our im ports. The federal reserve barbing system now has few critics. Financial opin ion ls very generally warm in its com mendation of a reform of the currency, the need of which was repeatedly pressed by the business world upon Republican congresses, but always pressed in vain. The Republicans evaded their duty; the Democrats did it, and did it uncommonly well Three Years of Democracy. Mr. Wilson has been president for three of the most difficult years in the history of the country since the close of General Washington's administra tion, and excepting only the periods of the second war with England and" the Civil war. Since the government was established and precedents set by the first president, and excepting only the more serious war periods we have been through, no ^ president has had difficulties even remotely approaching those with which Mr. Wilson has had to contend. With due regard for the unprece dented difficulties and embarrassments of the time, President Wilson and the Democratic party have discharged their respective duties with a high intelligence, a broad comprehension, and an eye single to the interests and the duties of the American nation. Backache is Discouraging. But Not so Bad if You Know How to Reach the Cause. Nothing more discouraging than a constant backache. Lame when you awaken, pains pierce v?u when you bend or lift. It's bard to work or to rest. Backache often indicates bad kidneys. Edgefield people rec ommend Dean's kidney pills. Read this case: Mrs. E. P. Jackson, Cedar Row, Edgefield, sayB: "I suffered greatly from a weak and lame back which became so bad thac I could hardly get around. My sides and hips also got sore and lame and loss of sleep made me weak and exhausted. D?an's kidney pills rid me of the attack." (Statement given April 12, 1911.) Over three years later, Mrs. Jackson said: "My back or kidneys seldom trouble me now, but when they do, Doan's kidney pills always give me quick relief." Price 60c, at all dealers.

IS THE ONLY SKSiAUIGA SALVE Sketch of Hon. Walter Mci aid's Achievements Youri; Member of Augusta Bar Hon. Walter R. McDonald likely, be the youngest man in next Georgia House. He is He will be the only blind mat the legislature. The remarkable progress of young man is known to ah every Augustan. One of less pi injured as he was injured, w< have "given up." McDonald die He went on up. And is going h er up. He not only has cour but he has ability. His perse ance is in keeping with his brij ness. McDonald is piled up with ( gratulatory letters- Few men wc guess the large number of messa he has received. The missi many of them, come from men h in Georgia public life. The home politicians can't; "make him out." No faction hind him, on no ticket," he ente the Richmond legislative tickei ten and led the race. Old-timers are asking for his cipe. They are as nonplussed when Dennie O'Connell pitchec some years ago, his candidacy flc ed by both the then political f tions, and ran way ahead of all cc Petitors in a field of seven. When Mr. and Mrs:McDonald cided on the legislative "try," ti also went to work. They have bc married since Februaiy. They h the ambition to go to the asseml as a starter. For they have otl ambitions in a public way, and tb are going to be heard from. In Richmond County we ha symbols on our election tickets, we can't read we are guided by t symbol. Mr. and Mrs. McDonE adopted a picture of the human e as their ticket symbol, and und? stood that energy and vigilan were their only campaign weapoi Work will tell. Good work te all the better. Arm in arm, har in hand, this political organizatio both of them, began their politi ing. If your name was on the re istry list, they buttonholed yo They won, bands down. And b cause they earned the win. That all. They decided to succeed-at succeeded. They are but a lad and a lass-; years and stature go. But, both < them bright of mind, hard student straightforward in their dealing earnest, sincere; determined ac never falter or fatigue. Nor so serious-minded as yo would think. They laugh and joli in their office as they chat or ru over legal points with you. Strar gers to gloom, with no thought c the dreary side of life, they are u and doing every hour, with coni dence in themselves and with laugt ter in their souls. In the Augusta fire, this McDot aid law firm was burned out, at ol lice and at home. That Wednes day night, Walter McDonald ha but ?25. It was in his pocket His thought was for the poor peo pie, who had lost their all in th conflagration. Ile gave of hi sparse capital to the relief fund Without a home, without law ol fice or law book or legal cap, h transacted law business "in the sad die," and on the Monday mornin; after the Wednesday night fire, de posited *78 of saved earnings ii the Union Savings Bank. Mrs. McDonald is not a lawye yet in the sense that she has beer admitted to the bar. But she ii going on to Atlanta when the legis lature meets. j She has not decided whether sh? will first go wita the Fulton Coun ty bar or the Richmond Countj bar. Whichever is the handiest ai the time. At any rate, before thc legislative session is over, she will be a regular practitioner. But she is, in fact, a lawyer now. In college-at the University of Georgia-Walter McDonald "learn ed" the law through an arrangement by which his school roommate "studied aloud." Today, he stud ies his cases by having his wife read the authorities to him. Mrs. McDonald dictates the office correspondence. Mr. McDonald does the typewiiting. I was in young McDonald's of fice half an hour, the other day. There were several clients to call during that time. The telephone kept a-ringing. There were mes sages from court attaches and other law officers. There was the hum of business activity and business meth ods and plenty of business-to me it seemed the busiest law office I ever fell into. Veterans in the law tell me Wal ter McDonald's cases are prepared with scrupulous care, and that each give proof of careful study and preparation; that his knowledge of the law is deep; that be is as pains taking with the case of the humblest patron as with the affairs of the most affluent client; that no care is omitted, no search neglected, no wort overlooked to make each pa per proof against error and invul nerable against attack. So there you see-you young man who sees "no future far your self in Augusta" and you croaker who is always croaking that "every person who leaves Augusta and set tles in some distant city, seems to progress finely." Bereft, at 14 years of age, of the precious and greatest sense-that of sight-the boy ten years later is en joying an excellent law practice; is honored by bis people, is compli mented by the electorate, and is fast becoming independent in this world's goods. Hopeful, cheerful, thankful, joyous, he is battling on in life; buoyed by ambition, cheerful by confidence in self and confidence in his God. "No "giving up" for him. No admission that loss of sight is a fa- j tal handicap. No guest of the blind academy asa haven. But, laughing at affliction, throwing the hatchet high, commanding the respect of men, demanding place of honor, meriting continued advancement, Walter McDonald goes on and on. He will not have lived in vain. If, for no other reason, than that I the example which he shall have given will stand for all time as a | ?lesson to th? youth of the section in which he shall have lived. -T. D.

SAYS HE THINKS TANLAC IS "FINEST REMEDY IN THE WORLD" TO PURIFY AND STRENGTHEN ANYONE. Because of the hardship he was forced to endure during the four years he was a soldier for the United States array during the Civil War, Mr. B. F. Dixon, of Converse, S. C., R. F. D. 1, a suburb of Spar tanburg, savs, in a statement given August 7, that his health was un dermined and that he never really enjoyed good heaith after the war was ended. Mr. Dixon was wounded six times by bis then Southern enemies, sev eral times seriously. But his health now is better than it has been in a long time, he says, ind he gives Tanlac, 'the master medicine,' credit for bringing about the great change in his condition. Mr. Dixon took just two bottles, he says, and he gained eleven pounds. His statement follows: "I suffered particularly from stomach trouble. I had almost com pletely lost ray appetite and I was just worn down. I am SO years of age, and I had lost so much strength that I staggered when I walked. Also I had lost considerable Rates to South ?st Jubilee and State Fair .ia, October 23-' (UP TOWN) ir Parades-Eight I Ifficial Opening Daj ition M 'al Gk Band Concerts (FAIR GROUNDS) ,000 in Premii Exhibits-Racing Lets-Mammoth M DU ARE EXPECTE a Harvest Jubile? weight and I was very nervous. My condition finally became so bad and my nerves were sc disturbed that I could not sleep well and I would lie for hours in bed before I could get to sleep. "Rheumatism also caused me con siderable pain, and, besides these pains. I suffered considerably with crampy pains. My nerves were so bad and my strength so little that I could hardly write my name. "I had [suffered with these troubles for years. I don't know just how long. Finally, I heard about Tanlac aud began to read the advertisements, and later I decided to take it. MI bought the first bottle and it did not seem to help me much. The reason of that, I know, was because I was in such bad shape. But I bad faith in it and bought the second bottle, and that was the bottle which gave me wonderful re sults. "The relief the two bottles of Tanlac gave me was as follows: I gained ll pounds in weight, and that certainly is a lot for man of 80 years to gain. Tanlac relieved my sleeplessness and I got to where 1 could sleep almost like a dead person. It gave me a great appe tite and I was soon eating three square meals a day. It broke up my stomach trouble and I gained a great deal of strength. That short ness of breath left rae, and ray nerves were quieted and strength ened. I do not suffer with rheuma tism now either. "I think Tanlac is the finest rem edy in the world to renovate any one's system and to build it up. Tanlac is good-there can't be any better. I think. I am certainly glad to recommend Tanlac, for it is an extraordinarily good medicine, and I know from my experience that it is good for all il is claimed to be. I have tried it and I know what it will do. If I ever need medicine again, I certainly will take more Tanlac." Penn & Holstein, Edgefield; < Johnston Drug Co., Johnston; J. VV.
