The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep?Jit) || B3JH tive. Many sudden deaths are caused J|*SpP ease, pneumonia, /TT\ jf heart failure or 5 iMTv ^3 f~ apoplexy are often the result of kidm I \ S nev disease. If If 1L \ \ & kidney trouble is i 111 Mi allowed to advance the kidnev-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cui-e is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling l?dly you fcan make no'mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the grea: kidney, liver and bladder remedy.

Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles.

Meeting of the State Association in Columbia. Extracts from The State, January 3. Columbia, January 3?With cotton boveriDg arouod the 15 ceDtmark and the farmers in absolute control of the situation. there was a general feeling of rt j )icing today at the annual meeting of the South Carolina Association. It was different from last year any one oould see at a glance that the price of cotton in a measure tests the feelings of the planters of the South. This morning the hundred delegates present got down to business, talked confidently of how they would control the market in the future, listened with pleasure to the gratifying reports of the officers and then took a recess to think over the matter and to meet again tonight to do the States share in the work now being oarried oat for the emancipation of the Southern farmer. One of the features of the convention was the unanimous re-election of h? old officers. President E D. Smith called the convention to order promptly at noon. He called attention to the benefits of the organization in the past year; how the association had forced cotton up from 6 cents a pound to 12; how the farmers bad forced out of business tbe dtotatory policy of the gambiers and applied ibe law of supply and demand to tbe pric9 of cotton. South Carolina was not alone in the fight, be said,. but this State could, by utilizing the advantages at hand, taken her rightful position among other Southern States. It was necessary to reduce acreage and organize against an organized enemy. Tbe cotton must be held?held for 15 cents, and the association was now in position to demand this price. The fact that tbe world is organized for cheap cotton was shown by tbe effort to beat down the price from 11? ?anto ua nrnii fircH he thfl AfihfivillH UUUU U *V ??W MAVV* w* J . .... c invention. About a million bales were sold at 9 oents by the weak members, bob now the mills and consumers are at the mercy of the association and the tactics will be reversed. Mr. Smith britfly reviewed the plan for the co-operation of the Southern bankers and the ware house movement, which was the true bqIu, tioD of the problem "I am a Democrat," said Mr. Smith, in reviewing the tariff on cotton, ' just as long as it means AngloSaxon supremacy, but I do not want to swallow everything handed the South by the party. Had the cotton planter been a Northern man he would be receiving 30 cents a pound for his cotton." The world is dependent upon the ? - * - - _ J >L. o ku i.

Tliurnes, a well known operator of Buffalo, 0., writes: "I have been afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble for years, passing gravel and stones with excruciating pain. I got no relief from medicine until I began taking Foley's Kidney Cure, then the result was surprising. A fewr doses started the brick dust like fine stone and now I have no pain across my kidneys and I feel like a new man. It lias done me $1,000 worth of good. The Kaufmann Drug Co.

Inquiries made regarding the reasons for urgency resulted in obtaining the statement that the ordering of the cars was a precautionary measure, the general staff desiring to be ready to move troops if necessary by the first of March. This is only a proper measure of prudence, it was affimed, in view of the extensive military arrangements goiDg on in Vi1 ? ^ .

The ordering of these freight cars, each of which would accommodate forty i soldiers., or would enable tbe authorities to (transport material, is only in coDprq-ieDce of tbe French preparations, and must not be taken to indicate aay hostile design on tbe part of Germany, whose peaceful intentions remain unchanged. Tbe step taken is due to tbe coovictioD, loDg held and acted upon here, that tbe best preservative of peace is complete preparedness for any eventuality. Tbe word war is not used because such a word in itself would be a provocation, and every interest, both in and outside tbe Government, shrinks from such a possibility, unless it be a small group of military men. The lijvernment will probably regret the publication of this intelligence, but its transmission seems necessary to a proper understanding of the drift of events and of how both France and Germany are strengthening their diplomatic position on the eve of the Moroccan conference by material preparations. How to Avoid Pneumonia. We have never heard of a single instance of a cold resulting in pneumonia when Foley's Honey and Tar has been taken. It not only stops the cough but heals and strengthens the lungs. Ask for Foley's Honey and Tar and refuse any substitute offered. Dr. C. J. Bishop, of Agnew, Mich., writes: "I have used Foley's Honey and Tar in three very severe cases of pneumonia with good results in every case." TheKaufmann Drug Co. A Christmas Trip. Mr. Editor, my wife aod I l<f. home on the 22d of last month for a Christmas trip. We boarded the train at 1015 a m. at Gilbert, S G, and landed in the city of Anderson at 7 30 p. m. We left Anderson by private conveyance at 8 p. m. for Townsville, a distance of seventeen miles west of Anderson, and arrived in Townsville at 1115 p. m. Anderson is a beautiful city with a population of 12 000; it has in its city limits ' nine cotton mills, two oil mills, four banks, six sale stables, three lumber plants, one fertilizer mill, fine school buildings, and the finest court house iu this country. It has water works, electrict care, and the town is beautifully lighted up with electric lights. Ten miles west of Anderson fiowes the great Seneca river. There is the great power house where they generate the power to light up the city, run the cotton mills and street cars and lumber plants, gineries, &c. The dam across the river is forty feet high and eight 'hundred feet long, and they have forty-five hundred boree-power, running four dynamos. The city of Anderson has a very fine farming country to back it up. Some as fine farming land as there is in the State. Her people are prosperous, happy and kind hearted. Townsville is a beautiful country town. It has four stores, one oil mill, cbees factory, three, churches, one fine school building, two gineries, two blacksmith shops, aDd will soon open up a bank. It is located in a fine farming country and has a very fine view of the mountains. This is a delightful country to live in. G W. Lewis, Townsville, S. C, Jan. 1,1906.

Loss Occurred Between Augusta and Washington. That a large amount of money, probably as much as $18,000, was stolen from a Southern express company pouch between Augusta and Washington is the story sent out from Washington last night by the Associated Press, as follows: "Washington, Jan. 4?It developed today that about $18,000 was itt&eu ixuui au PApona ixuuuu uotween Augusta, Gd , and New York. The Southern express company received the package at Augusta. From there it weDt to Columbia, S. C, and arrived in Washington early Sunday morniDg.
