Wednesday, November 7, r Help the Army Y. M. C. A. to help your boy. If whiskey is $S the quart now, won der what a Christmas jug will coast? In this exigency it behooves every loyal American to stand by Mr. Hoover. Help the Army Y. M. C. A. to help some other boy, if you have no boy in the army. Probably the hungry Germans are rushing madly into Italy to get some spaghetti. Col. Louis Wigfall Cheatham will not be abl. to command the situation after another week. What we like to see is two big potato "banks" standing near a farm house where only one stood before. Don't complain about that extra stamp. Every time you lick a stamp you are helping to lick the Germans. Congress overlooked what could be made one of the most prolific sources of war revenue; a tax on merry-go round receipts. The full page advertisements of j Christmas liquor, at one time so promi nent in some dailies, are now conspicu ous by their absence. Edgefield farmers should sow the largest crop of wheat ever sown in the county. Then there will be no wheat less days among them next year. As far as it is possible to do, the Y. M.

Old debts that have been a bur den for year?, debts which you have almost dispaired of evert paying, can now be wiped out. There has never been a time in the history of our Southland when there was more money .in the hands of the producers of the .wealth of the country than right ?)0*v. abor is in great demand and com mands good pricee. Every product of the soil sells readily at unprecedented prices. Eyen where there was a par tial crop failure people have surplus money. Then everybody who owes a note/store account or indebtedness of any kind should pay up at once. Do not delay. Money slips quickly through the fingers of the average person. Pay now while you can. Do not any longer belong to the debtor class. Be independent. Let every day between now and the first of January be a pay-up day. Let every form of indebtness be wiped out and begin the new year with a clean balance sheet. Congressman Byrnes Writes ] Mr. Toole. Hon. G. L. Toole, Aiken, S. C. Dear Sir: I read your letter in which yo'? invite me to meet you between now and Deo. mber first in order to discuss whether ? should or should not be re-elected con gress. The Democratic primary| will not be held uutil August ?t?, lUlS, and a man cannot lile a pledge as a candidate before MAJ.or June next year. Between now and then there may be other crentlemen who desire to become candidates for Congress, and should I meet yon next week, I know of no reason I could assign tor refuting to meet the following week some other gen tleman who thinks he will be a caudidate next year. I believe that at this period in our history what time and energy the men and women of this District | can spare from their personal busi ness affairs, they are devoting to the advancement of the cause of their country, and they are little in terested in the personal political ambitions of men who expect to be candidates for next summer. They know that regardless of joint dis cussions held now by men who ex pect to be candidates, under the rules of the Democratic party they will have inflicted upon them next| summer a joint discussion by men who are candidates for Congress. One such discussion in two years is) enough. Therefore, at this time, ten months before the primary elec tion, I will not join you, either in joint discussion or in a newspaper controversy. If, as \ ou intimate, your invita tion is extended because you fear I may not be present at the meetings provided for by the Democratic! party next summer, I desire to say that I have never failed to give to the people an account of my stew ardship, and you can rely upon it| that I will be there. If you pay the entrance fee and become a can didate I shall be glad to discuss the matters referred to by you, point out the statements in your letter that are misleading and those that are untrue-misleading and untrue, I am satisfied, beciuse of lack of j information, and not from a desire to misstate them. I can also assure you that if any additional questions are asked by you or by others, I shali answer them, and I may ask a few on my own account. Respectfully yours, JAMES F. BYRNES. Nov. 3, 1817.

The writer recently came across a bill of goods b- u<rhl of Kl i nek and Wickenborsr, in Charleston, in 1S53 To compare prices then and now may be interesting'. The price of the following articles will indi cate the price of goods then in general : Java coffee 'JO els; stan-h 10, ba con ll; hams 15; flour 7.25; rice 4 els; lard 14; sugar 12; tea 1.00; vinegar 80 nts; grits etc., in pro portion. Since that time the prices have been like the the tides of the sea-going and coming. Now it is about spring tide, and if it keeps rising we'll be submerged. But we ought not to be alarmed; for we do not think that prices will rise because, unless the unexpected takes place, with all the Neutral Countries cut off there is no place to ship our stuff except England and France-both of which are self-supporting as ourselves, with the exception of Cotton which alone is raised here and in Egypt and parts of South America. We can not ship cotton to Neutral Coun tries. Therefore with the demand, by Neutrals and the enemies, cut off I do not assert but ask the ques tion-how can cotton go any high er or much higher? Now use your own head-not mine-but do not forget to use it before you hold too long or buy too quick! It may be very pleasant to have Utopian dreams about high prices for cotton, but if we read the standard literature of the wor'd and figure just a little our dreams may become unreal. I believe that wool will be very high in this coun try and a substitute, with asbestos and other products, for some cot ton goods. I am giving no advice, because, while it is patriotic and dangerous too, nevertheless, it is an article people get nothing for even if it fills the other man's pocket with wealth-who tooK the advice. So use your own head-but use it! E. C. Bailey. Added a Number of Years to Her Life. SAYS SHE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FRUITLESS LY-FUTURE SEEMED DARK. SAYS SHE BELIEVES SUR HAD OXE FOOT IX THE GRAVE AT OXE TIME. People both old and young, who suffer with stomach trouble, would do well to read the following highly interesting statement given by Mrs. Mary Gillam, of 53 Riverside, An derson, on March 3rd. Mrs. Gil liam is of an advanced age. "1 suffered from an awful case of indigestion," said Mrs. Gilliam, "and I was so weak I could hardly walk and really I should have been in bed. My feet and leus burned all the time, my whole system was weakened and run down and I was very pale. My appetite had left and I never became hungry. My health had been bad for several years. Hundreds of dollars worth of medicines had been bought for me, but none gave me much relief, r.nd 1 steadily became worse and lost weight until I was skin and bones almost and seemed to be slowly starving to death. "Soon after I started taking Tan lac, my appetite returned and my stomach was strengthened and the indigestion left me. Now I am eating heartily and my food is di gested and nourishes me. I gained twenty-five or thirty pounds after I started taking Tan I ac. The home folks laugh at me now because I eat so much. 1 waa just about big enough to make a shadow wheu I started Tan lac, but now I am at normal weight. 'Tanlac is the finest restorer and tonic I ever used. It soon got me strong enough to do my house work, despite my years, and it is the only medicine I ever took that gave ne permanent relief, and I guess it can be truly said that I had one foot in the grave when I began taking it. Tariiao certainly is our stand-by now, and both my husband ?a? .m.vself think the world of it, for 1 expect it. gave me a number of years more of life."

ADLUH MILLING CO COLUMBIA, S. C. A TWICE-TOLD TALE. One of Interest to Our Readers. Good news bears repeating, and when it is confirmed after a long lapse of time, even if we hesitated to believe it at first hearing, we feel secure in accepting its truth now. The following experience of an Edgefield man is confirmed after three years. Mrs. E. Jackson, Cedar Row, Lidgefield. says: "I suffered greatly from a weak and lame back which got so bad that I could hardly get around. My sides and hips also got sore and lame and loss of sleep made me weak and exhausted. Doan's Kidney Pills rid rae of the attack." Over Three Years Later Mrs. Jackson said: ''My back or kid neys seldom trouble rae now, but when they do, Doan's Kidney Pills always give me quick relief." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs.Jackson has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Fresh Norfolk oysters always on hand.
