Upshaw Defends Southern Valor (Continued from Page One.) country, 'tis of thee" with as much love and loyalty as the school boys and girls north of the Ohio river Lave sung it for me in recent months -and when 1 likewise solemnly and sacredly declare that nowhere on the American continent will there be found readier response to the call of our common country than among the sons of southern heroes, "griz zled and gray," who followed Stone wall Jackson and Robert E. Lee; nor do I do violence to the ameni ties or the proprieties of this cru . cial national hour when, in this well provoked and natural defense of my own section I declare that our nation owes the South a cumu lative debt of gratitude for nurtur ing upon her ample and patriotic bosom, that scholar-statesman of poise and power. Woodrow Wilson, who is the impartial president of the whole nation and the inspiration of the whole world. Let us be done -forever done with even the possi bility of such little sectional flings, .vhether inadvertent or deliberate, that "the East can't fight and the South won't fight." It is a glorious commentary on the unbroken and unbreakable soli darity of our common patriotism of the complete wiping out of all political, credai and sectional lines when senators and congressmen, North and South, through the corri dors of the president's heart, in this pivotal, anxious hour, throwing their arms of unquestioning faith and mpport around our nation's leader who must be for many dark and trying days "a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." And what true American did not read today with an unspeakable thrill of enthusiasm the words of former President Taft stating Amer ica's attitude toward German un surpation with all the clearness and loyalty of President Wilson himself -or who did not feel his heart warm within him or perhaps wipe the tears from his eyes when he read on yesterday how Charles Even Hughes grandly fit to be president, declared to the Brown university alumni in New York: "He is our president now, and all differences shall be for gotten as we pledge our loyalty to our president and our country in this grave and solemn hour!" And every man sprang to his feet in thrilling expression of the loft iest type of our united Americanism. It is enough. Thank God we haye ^ at last one country, one flag and one I united purpose, to make that flag a . protection to each other and a bless ing to the world. WILLIAM D. UPSHAW. Editor The Golden Age, Atlanta, Ga. P. S. Since starting this article on the train, the news comes that the inevitable break with Germany has occurred. And if the worst, God help us, must com?', the country will have an "ocular demonstration" of the fact that the East CAN fight and the South WILL fight for the honor and safety of tne Flag we love.

T W WOOD S'SOftS, Interesting Letter From Rev George W. Bussey. Dear Advertiser: It has bee? some time since I had a word wit! you, though I enjoy your week!; visits as much as ever. It seem like the visit of an old friend whei you come. Matters are movin< smoothly hera in spite of wars am cold weather. We have had som of our Edgefield ' boys" up hen this week, in U. S. court, Messrs Thurmond and Mays. Though the\ are rising towards the top, I love to remember them as Edgefield boys, and their parents as raj friends of former days. I rejoice in their success. We have had a treat in our fami ly of late to have had my daughter Hattie with us for several weeks. She now lives in Chicago. She has just left us to return home. The following concerning her departure appeared in the Greenwood Journal a few days ago: "Mrs. Hattie Waldrop returned yesterday from Spartanburg, where she went Saturday to visit her un cle, Mr. J. L. Bushey and other rela tives. She will start back to Chi cago, Tuesday but will go by Mar tin, Ga., and stop a few days with her brother, Rev. A. W. Bussey on her wav home. She has just re ceived a letter from her son who has returned from the border with Gen. Pershing's expedition in Mex ico. He belongs to the infantry and has been in the army three years. He has been promoted to second lieutenant and will enlist for four more years. Perhaps some of the young men here remember little Hugh Gilchrist who went to school here when a boy. His father, W. A. Gilchrist, lived here until Gov. W. A. Gilchrist, his cousin, went to Waycross, Ga., to take charge of the development, of Gilchrist Park which is the largest section of the city of Waycross. While there he died, and my daughter married Mr. Waldrop and moved to Chicago, i She has two of three sons with her there, both in business." My health is fine and I have plenty work to do. Sincerely yours, G. W. Bussey. Greenwood, S. C. A SAFE TEST. For those who are in need of a remedy for kidney troubles and backache, it is a good plan to try Doan's Kidney Pills. They are strongly recommended by Edge field people. W. B. Paul, painter and paper- hanger, Butler St., Edgefield, say?: i "I was bothered by kidney trouble nearly all my life. It grew worse when I had the measles some years ago. Doan's Kidney Pills removed the pains and strengthened and reg ulated the action of my kidneys. My health became better than it , had been in many years." (State ment given April 12, 1911.) Over three years later, Mr. Paul said: "I have very little trouble with my kidneys now, but when I am bothered that way, Doan's Kid ney Pills never fail to relieve me." Price 5c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Dean's Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Paul twice publicly, recommended. Fo.ster-Milburu Co., Props., Buffalo, N. V. Edgefield Colored Fair.

PR0VE1IENT WONDER FUL. COULD NOT KEKP EVEN* COLD WA TER ox HDR STOMAC? AT ONE TIME. STRONG AXD HEAR TY Now. Though she declared her condi tion at one time was so bad that she could not keep even cold water on her stomaeb, Mrs. J. G. Johnson, of 587 North Church St., Spartan burg, declared that Tanlac made such a rapid improvement in her condition that it got her out of bed and enabled her to do light house work in three days. Mrs. John son's remarkable statement and en dorsement of Tanlac follows: "I had catarrhal fever and what I think was a slight case of the grippe. 1 was very much sick at my stomach and I vomited so much I could not keep even cold water on my stomach, much less my food. I had dizzy, fainting spells a let, too. I had become so weak and sick that I had to stay in bed. I stayed in bed three weeks and could not even sit up, and I was under treatment all the time, but I did not seem to be getting any relief, except that nausea was helped. I did not gain any strength at all, though, and 1 finally lost heart in that way of try ing to regain my strength, and I threw away all medioines and be gan taking Tanlac. "A friend whose husband had been helped ever so much by it kepi after me until I began taking this medicine, and she certainly did me a great kindness by doing so, too. "My relief by using Tanlac was as follows: I was able to be up-and going to the table and eating a reg ular meal and doin? light housework in three days, and in a weak I dis charged the cook and began doing my housework by myself. I was able to go to church five days after I started taking Tanlac. The Tan lac gave me back my appetite right at the start, and soon drove away that nausea that I then bad at times, and I could just feel myself getting stronger right along. ' I never hava known any medi cine that would make a sick person fid well so quickly, and especially one who was as sick as I was. I just took two bottles and I am fecl ing line now and am still getting stronger and heartier, even if it has been a month since ? look thc lasl dose of Tanlao. 1 '.IP .1 great deal i stronger now than I v <s before I ; got sick, 'Mai I ??? .)> i?: I'-.; h. ! : r : ealt i-, -!<:J:. ! haw beni ;;; u .u ..; i . ;>.

They were discussing the DuRant quart a month bill in a York county drug store the other day after it had passed the senate and a certain well known doctor delivered himself of this: "Well, if it is passed I am one physician who wilf absolutely re fuse to write a prescription for li quor for anybody or under any cir cumstances. If the bili becomes a law physicians will be continually almost worried to death. Every booze fighter and most of the booze fighter's friends will be seeking pre scriptions. Suppose you do write them. The records of the clerk of court's office will be open for in spection and it could easily be seen that not only I, but every physician was writing scores of whiskey pre scriptions. Then some folks would say that I am selling liquor pre scriptions. No sir, none of that for me. I remember how it was several years ago when the drug stores sold liquor on presmp:ions of physicians. I was pestered to death for prescrip tions and I have actually had peo ple to steal my prescription blanks from my pockets and forue my name to prescriptions for liquor. No, sir I will not write a prescrip tion for liquor for my best friend." - Yorkville Enquirer. FOR SALE:-Alexander's Im proved Long Staple cotton seed at ?1.50 per bushel. W. L. Dunovant, 2-7-41.
