j Mother Always Seeps It
Handy
"My mother suffered a long time
from distressing pains and general ill
health due primarily to indigestion/'
says L. W. Spalding, Verona, Mo.
"Two years 8go I got her to try
Kodol. She grew better at once and
! now, at the age of seventy-six, eats
! anything she wants, remarking that
; she fears no bad effects as she has her
! bottle of Kodol handy." Dont waste
| time doctoring symptoms. Go after
the cause. If your stomach is sound
your health will be good. Kodol
j rests the stomach and strengthens
| the body by digesting your food. It
! is nature's own tonic. J. E. Kaufi

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages
and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
tand cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kidneys
are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
' become so prevalent
)| that it is not uncommon
J for a child to be born
P afflicted with weak kid1
neys. If the child urin
. . ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should he towards the treatment ot
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miserable
with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

Heart of Camden Eaten Toy Fire.
Camden, July 23?The most substantial
business block in the city
of Camden was destrojedby fire last
night, the total loss aggrf gating
about seventy thousand dollars, with
insurance about thirty thousand del1
rt??Q
1C1 CI*
The heavy loss was occasioned by
the fact that the power plant of the 1
water works was recently destroyed
by fire and has not been rebuilt, being
now in process of construction.
Fortunately there was no wind and
the fire was stopped at the buildiDg
of the Bank of Camden on one extreme
of the square and Mr. P. T.
Yillepegues on the other. The Columbia
fire department promptly responded
to a call for assistance, but
the fire bad spent its force when they
arrived.
Business is suspended in the city
today and every one is lending a
helping band to the merchants who
were fortunate enough to get their
stock in the streets before their buildings
weie destroyed.
Clnu airlo nf the street nf the beat
business block in the place was
burned, one store being left on each
corner. All the buildings save one
were two-story brick structures, the
other being a three-story one.
Among the places burned was a
building in which was the post office.
The mails and post office contents
were saved.
The plate glass windows of the
stores across the street were all \
cracked by the intense heat.
Women and Jewels.
Jewels, candy, flowers, man?that
is the order of a woman's preferences
Jewels form a magDet of mighty
power to the average woman. Even
that greatest of all jewels, health, is
often rained in the strenuous efforts
to make or save the moDey to purchase
them. If a woman will risk her
health to get a coveted gem, then let
her fortify herself against the inBiduous
consequences of coughs, colds
and bronchial affections by the regular
use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup
It will promptly arrest consumption
in its early stages and heal the affected
lungs and bronchial tubes and
drive the dread disease from the
system. It is not a cure-all, but it is
a certain cure for coughs, colds and
all bronchial troubles. You can get
this reliable remedy at Kaufmann's
drug store. Get Green's Special Almanac.

Newberry Observer.
Ifc seems to us that the candidates
might spend a portion of their time
on the stump in enlightening the
people on the subject of taxes?ex- j
planing why they are so high and j
suggesting, if possible, some plan for j
reducing them. There is no more j
lmnnrf.anf cnhionf r?r?w hefnre tbe
I ?" ?J--- ? I
people.
That taxes are high no one will un- j
dertake to deny. Some insist that j
they are no higher than neces- j
sary, and simply dispose of the mat- i
ter by saying, as Dr. Timmerman
does, that there is no way to reduce
ttiem now. If this be a fact, then it
is encumbent upon the candidates
to show why all the sums collected
*
from the taxpayers are needed. They
ought to do it, if for no other purpose,
to satisfy the public mind and
quiet the unrest and dissatisfaction
that is constantly increasing We
presume if the people can be convinced
that taxes are not higher than
necessary and that there is no extravagancein
salaries and appropriation s,
they would pay their taxes more
cheerfully. If taxes are no higher
than they out to be candidates for
office ought to be able to prove that
fact; if they are too high, they ought
to be able to suggest some means of
reducing them and giviDg the people
some relief.
There is a very good reason why
the subject of taxation should be discussed
on the stump; that is, because
the people at large do not really
know the details of expenditures;
they 86)dom see the reports of the
State Treasurer and Comptroller
General; the? do not know, therefore,
just how their money goes.
The State is collecting a good deal
mor9 taxes now than it collected 10
or 15 years ago. This is not speculation
but a fact, as the records will
show. The general tsxee?that is
taxes on property alone?amounted
in 1888 to'$582,611 78; in .1901 they
amounted to 8808,582 40?a difference
o* nearly a quarter of million.
The total income last year from the
general taxas, dispensary fertilizer
etc, was $3,391,774,877 together
with a cash balance of $626,912.05,
making altogether $4,018,686 92 The
expenditures were 83,780,943 67, leaving
a cash balance to be carried over
to 1902 of $237,745.25. Comparing
these figures with those of 1888, we
find in that year the receipts were
81,267,603 26 and the expenditures
81,190.422 63.
Among the expenditures for 1901
may be mentioned those for higher
elucationin the State institutions.
These amounted to 8*242 898 74, besides
$37 798 6f received from the
United States government through
t'ae Morrill fund and the interest on
t ie land scrip. .It may be of interest
to note in passing, in connection
with Co. Talbert's Rpecial "issue"
that while the State pays 8234,898 74
for higher and industrial training
of the whites, it pays just 88,000

The Same Old Story.
J. A. Kelly relates an experience
similar to that which hae happened
in almost every neighborhood in the
United States and has been told and
re told by thousands of others. He
says: "Last summer I had an attack
of dysentery and purchased a bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used
according to directions and with
entirely satisfactory results. The
trouble was controlled much quicker
than former attacks when I used
other remedies.*' Mr. Kelly is a well
known citizen of Henderson, N. C
