The crop of June brides, hereabouts is rather promising.' Edgefield boom consists ir just one new building after another. After all, it is a fine thing that the advance in cotton came af ?r the planting season was practically at an end. If Abbeville can have an eighty five-hundred-dollar fire engine, it seems that Edgefield might heve one of some kind. The biggest man on American soil to-day, President Wilson being in Europe, is Sergeant York, the great est hero of the World War. Wonder if wedding presents have advanced like everything else? We'll j all know after the June weddings are over. Edgefield's postmaster received 50 baby chicks by parcel post a few days j* ago. He would not be surprised next,* to receive a real baby. lt The people of Abbeville are in the j1 throes of a campaign and primary e lection to fill a vacancy in the office of county treasurer. They have our sympathy. If the size of the Victory Loan subscriptions can be taken as a test, I the American people are all right 100 per cent loyal. The subscriptions witt aggregate five and a quarter bil lions of dollars. . . The sooner the Huns sign and set their house in order, the better it will be for them. There is no questioning the fact that they have made the rest of the world dance and- now they must pay for the music. The newspaper iolk will be in mighty good hands when they assem ble in Greenville for their annual meeting. For climate, hospitality, in tellectual and heart culture, the Mountain City is not easily surpass ed. It seems that the international court, too often like our State courts, is rather slow in meting out justice to the red-handed criminal. The old kaiser should been made to answer for his nameless and numberless crimes against humanity before now. If those Germais arouse the "Yanks" again, they will not stop short of Berlin. The fact is most of the returned soldiers who saw real service at the front are of the opin ion that the Stars and Stripes should have been unfurled in Berlin before an armistice was agreed to. Help Along the Hospital. There can be no questioning the fact that Edgefield needs a hospital. Every county in the State should es tablish and maintain a connty hos pital. There is sufficient wealth in Edgefield county to easily establish such an institution here and if inter est and enthusiasm are aroused a mong the people of every section, a hospital can he built. Talk to your friends and neighbors about the hos pital. Tell them of the advantages of getting- special treatment here at home. One of Few Br?ala. President Wilson may not have in ended it but he made vine and beer pek go up by leaps and; bounds. Our r?sident, who is right about niaety ine times out of a hundred but oc casionally, like the balance of mor tals, makes a slip, seemed, for the tiipe, to forget that citizenship ret rogrades in proportion as the interests of; wine and beer are advanced. The belief is current that congress will nat adopt the ^president's suggestion about repealing the wine and beer ?nse of the prohibition measure, we rather hope it will not. V -IV VT : -ri V-1. '.-J -C Annual Fre?s M c : i i r. 5. June 30 and July 1 sud 2 have jeen fixed as the time for holding the innual meeting of the South Caro ir.a Press Association in Greenville. Dur hosts in the Mountain City are making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the newspaper makers of South Carolina. Besides a j?rne of baseball each afternoon, a barbecue in the mountains and an automobile trip to Asheville, a ban cjuti and dance for the young people ?Ti" bc given the last night. There ?rill also be o!;her entertainment fea tures. The Imperial Hotel, which is one sf the most modern and best appoint ed hotels in the State, will be the as sociation headquarters. The business sessions will be held in a large recep tion room on the second floor of the lotel-an ideal place. An attractive programme is being irran red. so as ake the occasion 5ne ot "eal profit as well as pleasure, rion. Josephus Daniels, secretary of ;he navy, has been invited to deliver in address Monday night and another speaker of force and national repu tation will be invited to deliver an address Tuesday night. The railroads will issue transpor :ation in exchange for advertising to Ul persons who desire to attend. As :his is an off year in politics and the ?var clouds having about disappeared, everything points to a large atten iance. Unusual Photo Drama.

The Ogden Pictures Corporation, i he producers of "THE LUST OF THE AGES" have inaugurated a program of eight releases for Miss | ?Valker with a photo attraction that ? las been pi'onounced by the trade , :ritics to mark a new era in the si-. ent drama.

Kidney disease often advances so rapidly that many a person is firmly in its grasp before aware of its pro gress. Prompt attention should be given the slightest symptom of kidney disorder. If there h; a dull pain in the back, headaches, dizzy "spells" o"r,aJ tired, worn-out feeling, or if the kid^* ney secretions are offensive, irregular and attended by pain, procure a good kidney remedy at once. Your townspeople recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. Read the state ment of this Edgef.eld e??is?h. . L. W. Redd, 31 C hr St., :r.;'s: "I used Doan's Kidney Ti'.b s^r/.e l::.:a ago when I was trouble;' a rvja. d...l with backache. I wa? injuree tfcnt time in an accident ar.d fr; rn .hat time on my back caused ra 2 a great deal of pain. It was hard work to straighten up after I bent over. A friend advised me to try Doan's Kid ney Pills and I took his advice and did so. After I had taken a half a box nearly all the pain left me and after further use all the pains disappeared. At times since, I have used Doan's Kidney Pills and they helped me in the same splendid way." Price GOc, at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Redd had. Foster-Milbum Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. A garrulous lawyer was arguing a :ase.
