He was known far and wide for his generosity to the needy, and his death has caused supreme sorrow. Wait Paint There are painters and waiters. Which am I going to do? Paint or wait'' Whiqh is better? How much am I worth with my pro- ' perty waiting? How much if I paint? 1 Will my house be worth more or les# ! if I paint? 1 Say it costs $2.25 a gallon Devoe?I 1 wouldn't paint any other?and $3 or $4 1 more for putting it on. That's $50 or 1 $60 a 10-gallon job. 1 The money is gone. Is it in the ' house? Is it all in the hoose?

BERRY. 8. 1912.?27 27 i I r Creditors Met Thursday; Meet Again Saturday. Thos. P, Meetze, C. E; Leapha.t and W. H. Tcwnsend were elected trusi tees of the estate of W. P. Roof, bankrupt, at a meeting of th 3 creditors held in the court house on last Thursday. W. B. Taylor, Chalmers E. Wessinger and R. L. Keisler, were chosen as a committee of three to represent the creditors and to confer with the trustees in the matter of disposing of the contingent liability of Mr. Roof amounting to nearly $600,000, which is made up of endorsements on mill papers. The trustees hope to be able to reach an agreement with representatives of the holders of this paper at a meeting to be held in Columbia tomorrow. The trustees met on Friday and employed the law firm of Messrs. Timmerman, Thurmond & Callison to represent them in all matters pertain ing to the settlement of the estate. The trustees have also rented the large farm of W. P. Roof to Mr. Sam P. Roof, together with all stock, implements, etc. The creditors will meet again on next Saturday, the llth at which time the trustees and the committee will make a *!report. The creditors are anxiously awaiting this meeting; because it is expected that by this time some definite statement as to what per cent, the estate wiil pay will be f >rthcoming. The meeting on Thursday brought together the largest crowd of people that has been seen here in a number of years. The next meeting on Saturday will likely be as largely attended. \ ffllRTY YEARS OF BIB STOPPED Remarkable Experience of Mr. Barry With New Treatment Will Surely Interest All Sufferers "To every sufferer from backaches and kidney trouble," says Mr. Jno. W. Barry, 336 Brandriff St., Fort Wayne, [ndiana, "I want to tell that I was a victim of backaches for thirty-five $ ears and that like many of my fellow-sufferers, I tried hundreds ~jk. rem* 1 edies without relief. I was so bad at times I could not remove my clothing. Someone recommended Boot Juice to me, just as I am recommending it to you and after taking it as directed I found a speedy cure. I certainly do not hesitate to commend this great medicine to any victim of these complaints for I know what it means to Pfet relief." The new Root Juice treatment promotes a fine appeti.e, makes digestion perfect so that pure nourishment enters the blood; it strengthens the kidneys and not only drives out rheumatic poison, but stops its accumulation. The results are surprisingly quick. One week's treatment will make a different person of you. Mauy have said they would not take five hundred dollars for what the juice treatment has done for them. The genuine Root Juice can be. supplied by any good druggist but the public is warned against tricky dealers who offer worthless or inferior imitations upon which they make more profit.

Since the meeting of the W. P. Roof creditors on the 2nd inst., I have been thinking of some way in which all parties could get their dues. If Mr. Roof's interestsjn the cotton mills are not wholly coyered by registered claims could not the holders of these claims allow the cotton creditors, or any others, to buy stock in these mills? In this way the balance of his I stock or claims could be liquidated while his creditors would be getting pay for their cotton or other dues. These cotton claims are debts of honor and should be protected if there is any way to bring it about. I believe the people whose cotton he got would be willing to go into this arrangement. I give this plan for consideration and a9 the farmer's plan. J. F. Lyles. North Edisto, May G. i 1 *T 1^2 I * uiiciiuineu Lciici s.
