To the Editor of the Dispatch: A few months ago I gave you a short sketch of Georgetown aod liosemary, and would have taken you a trip out into the logging woods camps before now but for the continued illness of my "better half." Am glad to say that she is now on the home run for health once more. Thanks and congratulations. Now, Mr. Editor and friend of your paper, we will take a little trip into the woods. Off from the main line of the Georgetown and Western railroad leads numerous switches, spurs and lines of railroad anywhere from ten to thirty miles long. These lines takes ue to the several different oamps and through the finest spruce pine and cypress trees that ever a saw butted up against All trees are sawed down and not chopped down. There are eight of these camps placed around in the different bays and most convenient to the beBt timber. These bays have curious names, such as Ki lsark, Gapway, Boeta and Oak Ridge bays. There are about one hundred and fifty men at each camp and are well organize with a foreman, commissary clerk, stableman, camp cleaner, cook, log scaler, sawing crew, loading crew, one engine and crew and about one hundred log cars. There is aleo a skidder machine with Bach camp and is used to pull logs cut of marshy places where mules cannot work. A skidder is first cousin bo a derrick and draws logs at a distance of four or five hundred yards. There are about forty mules. A veterinary doctor is employed to look after the stock. I visit each camp once a week and ease the pain and Eight the attacks of malaria, etc, etc. All accident cases are brought immediately to Bosemary on engine or motor car where we have a fairly good hospital. This is a good field for surgery both in major and minor surgery. I have done many amputations with only a negro man to bold and another to give the anesthetic. I shuddered at the inconveniences at first but now it is just as aasy. The number of one armed and one legged men chasing around here is proof of successful amputations. The medicinal treatment is Dot as satisfactory as the surgical for these negroes down here have taken bo many pills that their joints have all become "ball bearing" and they are crying ont for "drinking" medicine. I/quid medicine is too easy spilled to carry much of it around in a medicine case. Nearly every medioine can be and is made into a pill or tablet now-a-days and why carry liquid; but you can't make them believe otherwise but that all pills are cathartics. All employees pay one dollar per month medical fees and they want their money's worth. There is a camp at Rosemary 'and Borne evening they are lined at the office forty feet deep. I have only to look up and out comes a tongue, and that tongue shows he has been Bating hominy and chunk meat. Hominy and butt meat for the negroes and beef and eggs for the white. I always pull my hat to any old cow in the road and I can't look a hen Btraight in the face. Everything is quiet and am anticipating a nice time on Pawley Island this summer. Come down, Mr. Eiitor. Good luck to all. E P. Derrick. How to Ward OS Old Age. The most successful way of warding oft the approach of old age is to maintain a vigorous digestion, mis can oe done oy eating only food suited to your ago and occupation, and when any disorder of the stomach appears take a dose of Chamber* Iain's Stomach and Liver Tablets to correct it. If you have a weak stomach or are troubled with indigestion, you will find these Tablets to be just what yon need. For sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Pledged Cotton Growers. Secretary Armstrong, of the Southern Cotton Growers' Association, was in Columbia last week in conference with the officers of the South Carolina Association. He was on a trip through the South perfecting and systematizing the statistics that are coming from the various State asso ciations in order to secure a more thorough and reliable general organization. He says the figures he has gathered so far show a membership of 1,270,000 already filed, 800, 000 of which are on record st the central office with post office addresses. He says that two-thirds of this membership represented farmers who have pledged a reduction of 25 per cent. Mr. Armstrong told of plans which had been perfected for a meeting of State presidents to be held in New Orleans the 30th of this month, when these presidents would report OAfnonrn I iu xxai vie du&uciii ao tu uuu w/Avogv io each State, and he said that the thorough manner in which these figures would be brought together would make the general report more reliable, self evidently, than any government report that had yet been issued. Step by step the report of acreage will come from precinct to township and thence to State organization. Three farmers and three others interested in manufacturing concerns make a report from each precinct. This general report at New Orleans will be made three days ahead of the government report. The coming comparison of the two reports will be most interesting. A Silent Tongue. The best of us talk too much. "The essence of power is reserve," said a man who knew. Many a reputation has been built on silence. Many a one is spoiled through rushing prematurely and volubly into speech. It is 3afe to be silent ,when your words would wound. "Faithful are the wounds of a friend," says the old proverb, but one wants to be mighty Bare one's friend needs the wounding and that we are qualified to administer it. Keep Btill when your words will discourage. It is infinitely better to be dumb forever than to make one fellow being less able to cope with life. Keep still when your words will ncite to anger or discomfort. An incredible amount of breath is used in the evil practice of trying to make our friends dislike their friends. Never speak when what you have to say is merely for the purpose of exhalting yourself. Shut your lips with a key when you are inspired to babble incontinently of yourself?your ailments, accomplishments, relations, loves, hatreds, hopes and desires. It is only to the choice, rare friend that one may speak of these things without becoming a fool. Are You Using Allen's FootEase?

Augusta, Ga., May 25 ?Two were killed, one fatally injured, two probably fatally and three slightly injured in a collision tonight between a passenger trolley car and a Louisville and Nashville coal car on the Augusta-Aiken railway in a stretch of woods some miles from Augusta on the South Carolina side of the river near Clearwater. The coal car, which was being conveyed to the power bouse, broke away from the motor car at the top of a hill and swept downward for several hundred yards, acquiring such momentum that when it collided with the passenger car returning to Augusta it ground the lighter car almost into kindling wood. Physicians were sent from here in a special car and the injured brought to this city, where they were transferred to the city hospital. Mechen, former superintendent of the free delivery service of the post office department, has been sentenced to two years in the penitentiary for fraud.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Just in Time. Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning1, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: Dear Mrs. Pinkliam :? " I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. 3/ "Before I wrote, to you, telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady and spent lots of money on medicines besides, but it all failed to help me. My monchly periods had ceased and I suffered much pain, with fainting spells, headache, backache and bearing-down pains, and I was so weak I could hardly keep around. As a last resort I decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful that I did, for after following your instructions, which you sent me free of all charge, my monthly periods started ; I am regular and in perfect health. Had it not been for you I would be in my grave to-day. " I sincerely trust that this letter may lead every suffering woman in the country to writ? you for help as I did" When women are troubled with Irregular or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhcea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearingdown feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. Refuse all substitutes. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass.
