of Markets, the department in
Washington handling the nitrate of J
soda, to appoint a county nitrate)

ed. The distributor to have charge j
of all the soda shipped into the

Patriotic Rally.
There should be several thousand
people here Satuaday to attend the
patriotio rally. Several very able
addresses will be delivered. Dr.
George B. Cromer of Newberry has
accepted an invitation to be present
and deliver a patriotic address, se
lecting his own subject. Several
who have recently heard Dr Cromer
make patriotic speeches have told
us that he is one of the ablest and
most eloquent speakers they have
ever heard. Besides Dr. Cromer,
Prof. Leonard T. Baker of the
South Carolina University and Prof.
J. C. Guilds, headmaster of the
Carlisle Fitting School of Bamberg,
will speak. It is practically certain
that Mr. W*. W. LOUP, the head of
the Clemson College extension
work, will also be present. Satur
day will be a great day in Edge
field. Do not let anything keep
you away.
Gifts Multiplied.
On Sunday afternoon at the Bap
tist church the Sunbeam held a pub
lic meeting, the program giving a
demonstration of work amoug the
Indians where the contributions
from Sunbeam bands are now being
3ent.
The pulpit was made into an In
dian scene, a wigwarm beinsr in the
center, and in the door sat what we
thought was a little Indian maiden,
the prettiest one that ever was, but j
after awhile we discovered that it
was little Anua Tompkins who sang
"Jesus loves me" and made all the
other little Indiau maidens seated
around so happy.
Julia Strom, Gladys Lawtoi
Corrie Cheatbam and Eleanor Mimi
all represented Indians, but tbe.\
were not fierce, because they had
learned to walkin the "Jesus roaa.
Little Margaret Lyon sang a beau
tiful sunshine song, and Rachael
Arthur told a missionary story anc
Grace Rearden and Talbert san j
"My Mother's Bible," and last was
the raising of the nation's flag and
the salute, and then the unfurling
of the christian conquest flag and
the salute to that.
Corrie Cheatham sang "Throw
out the life line," and Elise Hud
gens read a statement of the need
of missions among the Indians.
It was all very inspiring and
made "hope spring eternal" in every
heart, for all this beautiful program
and all it represented of thought)
and talent and music and stage ar
rangement, was done by Gladys
Tjjon who not only had the capacity
.or these things which in itself is
unusual, but'the courage to under
take it, and the unselfish spirit to
?ive her time and all she possessed
of talent and gifts towards the per
fection of this afternoon's entertain
ment.
How splendid it is that now and
then on the highway of life, we
meet up with such a soul! How it|
cheers the weary way, and makes us
look up and take renewed courage.
How wise it is to exercise gifts in
the ways of holiness that the Lord
may be able to multiply them into
infinity.

HAD BEEN IN" BAD HEALTH
1 H'REE YEARS, SHE SAYS
GIVES HIGH PRAISE.
GLADLY RECOMMENDS TANLAC, FOR
SHE FOUND IT FINE REMEDY.
"lt was a short time after I be
gan taking Tanlac before I had be
come able to do my housework,"
Mrs. Fannie Ripley, of Gluck Mill,.
Anderson, in a statement she gave
May 25th. "I had been in bad
health three years when I
began taking Tanlac, and during
the summers of 1914 and 1915 I
had not been able to do ray cook
ing, I had suffered from indiges
tion, and everything I ate burt me.
I had very bad spells of indigestion
and headaches and nervous attacks.
It was soon relieved by Tanlac,
however, and the indigestion was
stopped. The Tanlac relieved the
nervousness and headaches right
away. I soon got so I could sleep
well and my whole system was built
up and strengthened. I am doing
all ray housework now.
"I am glad to recommend Tanlac,
for I found it to be such a tine
remedy. "

How Bad Backs Have Been Made
Strong-Kidney Ills Corrected.
All over Edgefiild you can hear
Doan's Kidney Pills are keeping
up the good work. Edgefield peo
ple are telling about it-telling of
bad backs made sound again. You
can believe the testimony of your
own townspeople. They tell it for
the benefit of you who are suffer
ing. If your back aches, if you
feel lame, sore and miserable, if the
kidneys act too frequently, or pas
sages are painful, scanty of color,
use Doan's Kidney Pills, the reme
dy that has helped so many of your
friends and neighbors. Follow thiB
Edgefield citizen's advice and give
Doan's a chance to do the same for
you.
J. G. McNeill, Battle St., says
Six years ago when I was living in
Greenville, I was afflicted with a
lameness in the small of my back,
which was undoubtedly caused by
my kidneys. My kidneys didn't
act right, being sluggish. I got a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills and
used them and they removed the
troble."
Price 00c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that cured Mr. McNeill, Foster-Mil

IS THE ANSWER to those who will wait until the eleventh hour
to make their Easter purchases, and find that the article they
wanted was gone. And the article to take its place has not arrived
due to transportation serviee. Seven to twenty days for express and
one to three months for freight deliveries will soon bring home the
truth to you.

who are doing our "bit over there."
