FOR THE OLD SOLDIERS.
,\ i>i M-J11 for Munshlne for Those Who I
Wore Uie <;n?y.
Editor Keowee Courier: It ls a
hurnlnK shanie that Oconee has no
U. D. C. except ai denison, aud it ls
composed of women of the whole
So'.toland. Oconee can have wo
men's clubs, D. A. R., foreign mission
societies, card partie?, and every
thing else except two very Important
things-school Improvement clubs
and U. D. C. We should honor and
cheer our old soldiers. Our fathers
are now old and stiff with pain
brough' on by the hardships of four
years ot .var. Think of a rail for a
pillow, sleeping on the ground dur
ing cold nights, eating bread with
water! Shall we forgot them? Re
meber, "be who forgets his noble an.
cesto rs will achieve nothing worthy
to be remembered by his remote de
scendants."
The saddest and sweetest time of
my life was spent at Clemson Col
lego on the 100th birthday o our
grand Lee. Bofore me, on the stage,
sat a few of those men who followod
Loe, still wearing the gray, but gray
of age. Behind me were the future
citizens of the State. There I ?aw
tho past and future meet. Will the
past, with all its honors. Inspire the
youn," to be men Uko Lee? No; not
unless we tell them more of Lee and
his men, and build monuments as
milestones to Inspire them. That
day Col. R. A. Thompson was the
guest of honor. A boy, nearly ready
to vote, asked why Col. Thompson
was a guest of honor, and said he
"was just a lawyer at Walhalla."
Think of his record, and the children
not knowing it! How many school
children know that an Oconee man
saved (?en. Hampton's life0 How
many school children eui sing
'Dixie" or "Bonny Blue Flag?" How
many children are taught to be kind
to an old soldier?
The roll will soon be called, and
they will sleep with Lee and .lack
son. When it is all over the dauglit
ters will build monuments to soldiers
who now are dying In paupers'
homos.
In August I was at the bedside of
a dying soldier and he caught my !
hand and said: "You have done well
for your county, but do hotter; go
hack to Oconee and tell the teachers
I made this request, that in every dis
trict, on January lb th, Lee's birth
day he wholly set apart for Confede
rate day; that the people meet at the
I school house, carry dinner, spend the
day by talking and singing of tho
old South." Teachers, hear your
country's call, "To arms, to arms, to
light for Dixie." While we are a
united people wo must not forget our
heroes.
Now Thanksgiving Hay is here.
Iii the paupers' home are two sol
diers. Lot. each school begin now
? and collect funds, raise money to
v furnish them a good room, comforta
ble, clean bods, and don't let them
' be neglected. Not only these soldiers,
but send a war post card of good
] cheer to all soldiers. A (lower to the
living Is worth a car-load on his
L grave.
lt is said that a poor old soldier
" died in a paupers' homo and was be
ing cari 1 to a potters' Held in a
% wagon. When the wagon passed a
( graded school the children were
mart liing to tho tune of "Dixie." The
I collin lid bu rated, and the old soldier
r arose and cried. "Hurrah for the
j South! - Lee, Stonewall and Hamp
, ton!" Lying down again, he said,
"Drive on, boy; I did my duty." So,
my dear sisters, I have done my
duty. 1 have asked you to make
those last days of the soldier's life so
he can pull the drapery of his couch
' around him and Ile down to sloop,
and dream no moro of war, but peace,
sweet peace. Marye H. Shelor.

Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty <
of the kidneys Is to remove all uric <
acid from the blood. Its presence j
there shows the kidneys are inactive.
Don't dally with "uric acid solvents."
You ..ii?,lu go on until doomsday with
them, but until you euro the kidneys
you will never get well. Doan's Kid -
ney Pills not only remove uric acid, .
but euro the kidneys and then all
danger from uric acid ls ended. Here
ls Walhalla tostlmony to prove lt:
Mrs. J. R. Cobb, living on Faculty
Hill, Walhalla, 8. C., says: " For
years I suffered from Inflammatory
rheumatism. My Joints often became
swollen and stiff and at times my
ankles were so swollen that lt was
only with the greatest difficulty that
1 was able to move around. A few
months ago 1 sent to Dr. J. W. Bell's
drug store for Doan's Kidney Pills,
and have been using them aluce.
Nothing that I had previously used
did me any good. Doan's Kidney
Pills, however, eliminated the uric
acid from my system and the kid

hesitate to recommend Doan's Kidney

PLENTY OF EXERCISE NECES
SARY.
Plenty of regular exercise must be
taken in order to keep the body In
a healthy condition. Any excessive
or unusual exertion, however, ls sure
to cause stiffness and soreness of the
muscles and joints.
To counteract this effect there is
nothing better than Sloan's Liniment.
Lay it on lightly whore the muscles
have been strained; it requires no
rubbing for it p?n?tr?t? right to tho
bone, relieves any congestion and in
flammation and makes the muscles
elastic and pliant.
Sloan's Liniment ls a great hoon
to athletes, for lt not only relieves
pain and stiffness, hut lt ls an excel
lent remedy for sprains, cuts bruises
and cramps.
J. F. Price, of Tuscumbla, Ala.,
writes: "I am an engineer on the
Southern road from Chattanooga to
Memphis, Tenn. The continued eleva
tion of my arm upon the throttle
gives lt a sore feeling when on a
lon? journey, and there is nothing
that will take the soreness out like
Sloan's Liniment, and I keep a bottle
in my grip always."
