i ' Pay
as You &o.
' "Uncle Ed" Doesen't Believe in Debt
and Sending Away from Home for
f Goods.
Pay as you go. This is a good
motto for ev?ry man. This thiBg
^ of working all of ones life to pay
depts is not pleasant. I have known
men who would get in debt when
young and when they died they were
still owing money. Debt is a good
r thins to master, but a very bad mas
^ ?
ter when you are under its galling
yoke. The most awful part of any
debt is when settling time oomes.
Oh, yes, we must settle up some day.
That is a day we dread, if fortune
has not smiled on us, or prosperity
been with us. Settling day has
- caused a lot of trouble in this world
and I do not donbt that many will
shrink from that final settling day
when all debts must be paid, whether
we have wherewith to pay them or
not. I say settling day is a trying
time.
This is the time of the year when
all classes ol workmen mast come ap 1
^ and balance up accounts. The farmer
who has been going to the
merchant all theyeear to get supplies
must straighten up, as we say. The
fertilizer agents will be around for
the last time in a few weeks and
something in the way of pay must
come. Bent must be paid and the
note on the mortgage most be taken
up. The wholesale merchant requires
the retailer to give an account j
and if we look at every vocation of j
life we find that this is a busy time
^ of the year.
This is the time of the year that
all men ought to rejoice. The fruits
of another year are almost stowed
away and we see our labor rewarded.
Hay is put into barns, nearly ail of
the other crops are gathered except
corn and all of our cotton and tobacco
gone to pay debts and the
toiling man is left with little. Too
~ many of us never realize how hard it
is to pay a debt until paying time
comes. It is very easy to get in
to debt, but hard to get out of.
Dry bread paid for tastes sweeter to
me than fine syrup on a credit. I
had rather ride behind a slow mule
that belongs to me than behind a
racer that some one holds papers on.
L My old buggy, no matter if ^t does
| make a little noise, rides better to
i me than a rubber tire, because I
don't owe for it. I had as leave meet
my merchant as the preacher, for I
don't owe him anything. The banker
is not pestering me with duns
just because I don't believe in giving
notes. I had rather pay as I go.
f* This thing of endorsing notes too
freely gets a fellow into trouble
% sometimes. I heard of a man who
had to pay $200 last week because
he went on a "friendV' note.
I bad much rather make a little
and have it clear than to run on a
l* big scale, goiDg in debt for every*
. -i il: __n IX*.: -
Fl tnmg, aoiog imu uaiug we can uuae
buBiness" and coming out the small
end of the horn. When I pay a debt
I feel like I have gotton rid of a
great enemy. If we working people
would once get to running our busi2
ness on a cash basis we would soon
get to the place where a little fall in
market prices at a particular time
wouldn't hurt us.
Another great evil is paying for
anything before you get it. Now,
I don't mean the newspaper subscription.
The newspaper man has
a io live. I mean this way of sending
y way off for some article and paying
for it before you even know you are
L g^'ng to get it at all. In these kind
W o trades there are always so many
I li.tle technicalities that hang around
I that you don't know when you have
j a good bargain. Some may say they
will ship their articles subject to examination,
but it is cheaper to send
cash with order, and as the saying,
"suckers will bite,'' there it goes.
^ ^ ?1A nn/) ff. lro
J5UCI1 pittCCO get JUUl UiUUQJ nuu liuac
their own time about filling jour
order. They often leave out things
you need worse and credit you on
, their books, hoping you will "bite"
again. I have seen people try this
plan of ordering goods but in the j
end they had to come back home and j
get what they wanted. As for me, |
r
I bad rather pay our own merchant
?men that we know and can believe
?the profit they get and see what I
am buyiDg. Pay when you buy?
not before, not after, but when you
make the purchase. Then we won't
have so many sheriff's sales and the
like. Hide in your own buggy. Let
your own nag pull it, and feed the
nag from your own corn crib. Do
business with a man that is a man
and pay him cash. Better eat potatoes
that you raise than bacon raised
by another. Better to go to market
with something to sell than to go
there to buy whac some other has to
sell. All of us will get along better
when we get into the way of boarding
at home and living at the same
plaoe. Uncle Ed.
ITot A Sick Bay Since.
"I was taken severely sick with
kidney trouble. 1 tried all sorts of
medicines, none of which relieved me.
One day I saw an ad. of your Electric
Bitters and determined to try that.
After taking a few doses I felt relieved,
and soon thereafter was entirely
cured, and have not seen a sick
day since. Neighbors of mine have
been cured of Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Liver and Kidney troubles and General
Debility." This is what B. F.
Bass, of Fremont, N. C. writes. Only

The Race Problem Growing.
Washington, Nov. 13 ? Widespread
comment was aroused at the capitol
today by action of Representative
Dick, of Ohio, in introducing a resolution
providing for a congressional
inquiry into the alleged disfranchisement
of voters in the south and for
the reduction of congressional representations
of those States wherein
such conditions t?re found to exist.
Representative Dick is an intimate
friend of Senator Hanna, a strong
man in the house, and one of the big
men in the Republican party. For this
reason there is rightly attached a
farreaching significance to his resolution
that others of the same character
introduced by less prominent
Republicans entirley lacked.
Sd Could Hardly Cot Up.
P. H. Duffy, of Ashley, 111., writes,
"This is to certify that I have taken
two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure
and it has helped me more than any
other medicine. I tried many advertised
remedies, but none of them
gave me relief. My druggist recommended
Foley's Kidney Cure and it
has cured me. Before commencing

Serious Strike in Chicago.
May Lead to Intervention by Federal
Authorities.
Chicago, Nov. 12.?Constant scenes
of disorder over a district approximately
50 square miles in extent resulted
today from the inauguration of
a strike by the employees of one of
the two principal surface street railway
companies in Chicago. All along
the lines wherever cars were started,
strike sympathizers made desperate
onslaughts on the crews, beginning at
dawn and continuing as long as cars
remained on the tracks. The tie-up
was made complete.
A number of 'cars were wrecked
and that no person was killed is no
fault of the rioters. One man had
his back broken and the first shot of
the strike was fired at Wentworth
avenue and west Sixty-ninth street,
where a mob of several hundred persons
tried to hold-up a train.
Many persons, chiefly non-union
men, were iDiured by fiviner stones or
splintered glass. Two women were
among those hurt.
The Best Liniment.
"Chamberlain 8 Pain Balm is considered
the beet liniment on the market,"
write Post & Bliss, of Georgia,
Yt. No other liniment will heal a
cut or bruise so promptly. No other
affords such quick relief from rheumatic
pains. No other is so valuable

Education in Lexington.
A Growing School in a Growing
Town.
Very few towns have made more
progress in the last few years than
Lexington. It is seen everywhere
and in everything.
On Main street there is one wooden
store house nearing completion and
a very large brick store just commenced;
on College Hill, a commodious
dwelling is in course of erection;
and other places of business
and residence are under contemplation.
People of different professions
and callings have lately moved here
and others will follow. Never before
has there been such a demand for
both places of business and residence
as now. The calls for vacant lots,
suitable for residences and business
houses increase daily.
Though the present material advancement
of Lexington is unprecedented
in its history, yet the Palmetto
Collegiate Institute has kept
even pace. In six years the attendance
has almost doubled itself, and
the boarding students have multiplied
themselves by twenty. Nearly
every mail bringB inquiries from
prospective students from this and
other states. Scarcely a week 'without
several new students being enrolled.
Below are found the names
of all students living outside the
Lexington School District, wfco have
attended the Institute during the

from the above. Truly both Lexington
village and the Palmetto Collegiate
Institute are on a boom.

New Way of Using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from
Durban, Natal, South Africa, saye:
"As a proof that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a cure suitable for old and
young, I pen you the following: A
neighbor of mine had a child just
over two months old. It had a very
bad cough and the parents did not
know what to give it. I suggested
that if they would get a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
A f Aft f A
pui borne upuu iue uuiuuij icnl iuc
baby was sucking it would no doubt
cure the child. This they did and
brought about a quick relif' and
cured the baby." This remedy is for
sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co.

Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they filter
out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesandrhcumatism
come from excess
of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected !
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady '
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is

It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their beginning
in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
