Lexington Has to Bow to tt e v Inevitable?Scores of CitiTl (z ensrrove it. After reading the public statement of this representative citizen of Lexington given below, you must come to this conelu -ion: A remedy which cured years ago, which has kept the kidneys in good health since, can be relied upon to perforin the same work in other pases. Head this: "4 L. Hall, jeweler, Main St., Lexington, S. (J., says: "I suffered from kidney trouble for several years and finally my kidneys became so weak that I was alarmed. The kidney secretions were too frequent inpassage at times, then again f could hardly void them. I felt weak, lust flesh, did not sleep well aud was ncrycus and Irritable. A short time ago I got a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills from the Kaufmaira Drug Co. and since I nsed tncnr:, I hare improved wonderfully. I earnestly recommend this 'ren-udy to all kidney sufferers." (Statiromt given March 1-08.) Tribute to Mrs* Harman. A simple tribute of love and respect to my dear departed friend and cousin Mrs. M. F. Harman. On the eve of the 23d of May, 1911, the summons came to our dear cousin and life-long devoted friend, Mrs. M. F. Harman, to come up higher and enter into that reat prepared for those who have been faithful unto the end. Knowing her from my childhood, and being intimately associated with her later in life, none knew her better or loved her more. Her strong, noble character was an * ?1? in f rmnVi inspiration to an wuu uams WVIX/U with her. She is too well known to the people of Lexington, especially the older citizens, for me to attempt to relate the many acts of charity and deeds of love and kindness she did for others. She was a woman of superior intellect and a self-sacrificing spirit. . She was devoted to her family and friends, gen erous almost to a fault. To the calls of her church slie was ever ready to respond with willing hands and heart, giving of her means and labor. Her faith in God was firm to the last, always willing to bow in humble to Him who dceth all things well. For several years she was a great sufferer, but was always cheerful. Be! reft of every member of her immedij ate family, through misfortune, sicki r^aao otid death. sh#? fought each battle iigoo vivwvmi of life bravely and now she wears the victor's crown, living the eteral life with her Savior, her God. Her work is finished, her chair is vacant, but she lives on in sweetest memories of one who loved her and who will miss her. ta. A. s. New Cotton Blooms.

Shealy, at Freedonia, on Sunday night at nine o'clock, after a brief bat severe illnes. Mrs. Davis was a popular young woman, being only about 34 years of age.

From the indications, it * seems that these rains have been gen- j eral in their range, and the drought 3 that has lasted for months lias had to * yield. This has been the most severe * dry season that we remember, and the 1 rainfall will relieve conditions that had j already become serious. The water ( supply of wells had, in many places, j become exhausted and the necessary 1 supply had to be hauled. 4 "Eve-Droppers." j "Eve-droppers" never hear any- 1 thing good about themselves, and of all the nuisances in the woild, there J is nothing that compares with the "eve-dropper" on a rural telephone ] line. This is the greatest drawback to ; the system. There are always those 1 subscribers wno wane to auena to otner people's business instead of their * own; there are always those who, from lack of curiosity or from lack ef good, sound common sense, are eternally , taking down receivers when other people are trying to talk. There is a rule < laid dowd in all of the by-laws of the several rural lines prohibiting "evedrupping" and for the vioh t'ou of which the subscriber is debarred from the service. It matters not what time of day or night the phone rings nearly , everybody along the line will rush to j frho folor?Vir?nn I i mrt.nv insrannPS. it I is said, that mothers will leave their cozy beds in the dead houis of night and their infants in their arms, go to the phone to find out what their neigh- j bors are tailing about. The baby usually raises a "rough house," making it impossible to carry on a conversation with any degree of satisfaction. Let j thuse who have rural phones answer j when they are called, and speak when they are spoken to, and there will be much more pleasure and profit deuved from the rural telephone. I _ .

There is a general and widespread lotion, which the curious investigator vill find scattered throughout both nedieval and modern literature, that he world will last G,000 years from he date of its creation. An inscrip</-wr> In nno r\t ATnrtin T.llfhpr's hooks ends as follows: "Elijah, the prophet, laid that the world had existed 2,000 rears before the law was given (from ^.dam to Moses), would exist 2,000 rears under the Mosaic law (from doses to Christ) and 2,000 years under he Christian dispensation, and then it vould be burned." In the Etrurian account of the crea:lon (by Suidas) there is a similar tralition, "The Creator spent 0,000 years n creation, and 6,000 more are allotted to the earth." In the black letter edition of Foxe's "Acts and Monuments" (1632) there Is a whole sermon given with the 3,000 year limit of the earth's duration is a text Some writers contend that the "six 3ays" referred to in Holy Writ really mean 6,000 years and that the "sev enth day" Is a type of the coming millennium, or "Sabbath of a thousand pears." The psalmist says, "For^ a thousand years are in thy sight as yesterday" (Psalm xc, 4. See also II Peter 111, 8). Chinese Nomads. ? In the plains on the western borders of the Chinese empire, in the heart of Asia, there live roaming tribes who seldom visit towns except for trade. They dwell in tents made of felt and usually low, small and conical. The wooden door frame is no higher than half a window frame in English houses, but the tent, although not equal to the j wants of a large family, is snug and , comfortable in summer, but cold in winter.?London Graphic.
