Before him the weak and the want ing go to the wall. Only the truth can stand. For years the following statement front a Walhalla resident has withstood this sternest, of all lt. D. Oelkers, butcher, W. Main street, Walhalla, says: "I have suf fered from rheumatic pains ever since I was young. My kidneys have always been irregular in action and 1 have had backache. I used Donn's Kidney Pills, procured from Bell's drug store, and they gave nie relief. Another of the family had dizzy and nervous spells and the kidneys were weak. Backaches also caused much suffering. Donn's Kidney Pills brought relief." (Statement given Mardi 16, IOU ). No Troulile Since. On December 17. 1914, Mr. Oel kers said: "I haven't noticed the slightest sign of kidney trouble since Dean's Kidney Pills cured me. I am now in the best of health." Price 60c., at all dealers.

DIPLOMACY (X)STS MONEY. dirie S411U \ViU Have Several Large Hills to Present. A dispatch from Washington says: Several European nations owe the United States more than $1.000.000 as the result of "diplomatic services rendered" since last August, when the war was commenced. In the event that the United States should he compelled to withdraw "s repre sentatives from Herlin and Vienna, this country would lind itself in the peculiar position of holding a bill against nations with which it is no longer on speaking terms. Although it is considered as a greal honor to act as diplomatic in termediary between warring nations, it is also customary to keep a daily expense account of the money spent on such diplomatic work. The State Department, in addi tion to its actual diplomatic work, also has acted as "hanker" for some of the most important embassies in Washington. Soon after the war began some of the ambassadors "went broke." They could not get money from Eurotie by callie or by mail. They appealed to the State Department. The department ac commodated them and immediately instructed the American ambassadors in their countries to collect the same amount from the foreign office. Neuralgia Pains Stopped. You don't need to suffer those ago nizing nerve pains in the face, head, arms, shoulders, c hest and back. Just apply a few drops of BOOthing Sloan's Liniment; lie quietly a few minutes.

(Atlanta Constitution.) lt was brought out in the meeting In Chattanooga, Tenn., last week, of the Southern Conference for Educa tion dhat while the average farm profit in this country is fi per cent, the farmer is compelled to pay any where from 8 to 16 per cent for tho money he borrows, and that In the aggregate the farmers pay $200,000 000 more per year in interest on their debts than the entire commer cial world. There could he no more forceful . icguiucut than those hiiof but ede i eui of rural credits fhat will glv< lu business man. There ls scarcely a living, let alone an opportunity for building, in 5 per cent profit com bined with 12 percent interest. The banking system Of tho coun try, created to meet commercial needs, must be reconstructed rt cer tain points to lit the farmer': case; it is regrettable that Congress and the national govern men I have not yet realized or recognized the great necessity of it. lt has boon suggested that the pos tal savings bank system might be transformed to meet the rural credit need. The suggestion contemplates the taking of deposits at something like 'A per cent and using this money for farm loans, properly safeguard ed, ol course, at 5 per cent. If such a system as this could ho worked out it would provide a credit plan that would splendidly meet the far mers' needs. There may be some material ob jection to using the postal savings system for this purpose. If there is, there are other satisfactory and ef fective methods of attaining the same end. Tho country not only wants, but needs, a satisfying rural c" dit system, and the Federal gove; IL. int .should admit no delay in finding a means to supply it. Shot Negro Drayman, tireen ville, June 17.-Excitement rtiii high at the Southern Railway station about 12.?0 o'clock yesterday afternoon when Bothwell B. Foster, a young man employed with tho G. B. Foster Dray Company, shot ?uni probably fatally wounded Henry Willis, a colored drayman, who was working for Foster at the time in moving .trunks from the baggage room of tho depot to a wagon on tho outside. A single-barreled shotgun was the weapon used. The dis charged shell passed through the side edge of a trunk and took ef fect in tho negro, just below his right lung, producing a dangerous wound. Alt bongil there wore said to have been ono or two eye-witnesses to the shooting, details as to the cause of tho trouble vary, and are Insufllcient, tho police say, to reach conclusions. Foster is held at the police sta tion pending the outcome of the ne gro's condition Indore lils applica tion for bail is presented through an a itorney.

On Two-Cent P The farmers of this nation are vitally interested in railroad rates and equity be tween passenger' and freight rates is especially im portant to the man who follows the plow for the farmer travels very little but he ? is a heavy con tributor to tho freight revenues. Some of the states have a two cent passenger rate and whatever loss is incurred is recov ered through i reicht revenue. The jus tice of such a procedure was recently passed upon by the Supremo Court of West Virginia, and the decision ls so far-reaching that we have asked L. E. Johnson, president of the Nor folk and Western Railway whose road contested the case to briefly revi?w the suit. Mr. Johnson said in part: "Some ten years ago, pnBSonger fares were fixed by tho legislatures of a large number of states at two cents a mlle. As a basis 'or such economic legislation, no examination was made of the cost of doing the business so regulated, nor was any attention given to the fact whothor such a rato would yield to the rali way companies an adequate or any net return upon the capital Invested In conducting this class of business. "Such a law was passed in Wost Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and Western Railway Company put the rate Into effect and maintained lt for two years. Its accounting airing these two years showed that two cents a mlle per passenger barely paid the out-of-l>ocket cost and noth ing was left to pay any return on capital invented. It sought relief from the courts. Expert accountants for FRESH AIR B/ BETTER ( "T7ES! I am doh X a NEW PERKE NEW PER EEC stove this summer."

IC FORUM i Johnson assenter Rates both the State and the Railway Com pany testified that the claims of th? railroad were sustalnod by the facts Two cents did not pay the cost ol carrying a passenger a mile. Th? State, however, contended that thc railroad was earning enough surpHo on Its state freight business to give a fair return upon tho capital used lo Its passenger as well as Its freight business. For the purposes of thc caBO, tho railroad did not deny this but held to Its contention that thc State could not. segregate its pas senger business for rate Axing with out allowing a rate that would bc sufficient tovpay the cost of doing business- and enough to give some return upon the capital invested lo doing tho business regulated. This was the Issue presented to the Su preme Court, its deolslon rosponde to the judgment of the fair-minded sentiment of the country. Tho Bu preme Court says that, even though a railroad earns a surplus on a par tlcular commodity by charging rea sonable rates, that affords no reason for compelling lt to haul another's person or property for leBs than cost. The surplus from a reasonable rate properly belongs to the railway com pany. If the surplus is earned from an unreasonable rate then that rate should be reduced. The State may not even up by requiring the railroad to carry other traffic for nothing or for less than cost. The decision ls a wholesome one and demonstrates that the ordinary rules of fair dealing apply to railway companies. The fact that ono makee a surphiB on his wheat crop would never be urged as a reason for com pelling him to sell bis cotton at less than coBt. It would not satisfy thc man who wanted broad to be told that UB high price enabled the cotton manufacturer to get his raw product for leBB than cost. In this case thc court reaffirmed the homely maxim that each tub must stand upon itt own bottom." ?CING MEANS COOKING ig all my baking in CTION Oven on a :TION Oil Cook hly browned-such such light, fluffy rent of fresh hot air Dver and under the 5 steam and preven xclusivc advantage ECTION Oven.

Years, I Wnlkr-I to Richmond Kennion (Anderson Mail, 12th.) George W. Sheram, an old Con federad? veteran, is now returning home from the reunion at Richmond and is walking This old man is 76 years of age, but has far more life and get-up in his system than many men considerably younger. Mr. Sheram is a very peculiar looking old man. ile has a long, flowing white beard, and his hair is long, reaching down over lils Bould I ors. His lia ir and beard are both ; pure white. He was fairly well ; dressed, and seemed just as happy I and contented as if he had a special j train waiting for him at the station . instead of a long, weary tramp from here lo Forsyth. Ca. He left Forsyth on May 4th, and for the most part of the way ho walked to Richmond, Va., arriving at Richmond on the 26th of the month, making the trip in 22 days. He says that he rode about 2f> miles in all on his way to Richmond, and on his return trip be has made the trip from Richmond to Anderson in one week. Ile left Richmond Sun day morning and arrived in Ander son Friday evening. Several big lifts from parties traveling in auto mobiles have enabled this old man to get this near home in such a short time. The question was asked Mr. Sher am, "How much did your trip coat you ?" "Nothing at all," was the reply. "1 have even made money at it, for when 1 left Forsyth 1 had $li in my pocket and when 1 reached Rich mond I had $14. No one has yet ac cepted money from me for meals along the way, and 1 have only paid for about two or three meals since I left home. They were all in the city of Richmond." Mr. Sheram served in the war dur ing the four years. He started out with the First Georgia Volunteers, hut later was in Simms' Brigade, Ker shaw's Division. The old man left the city Saturday morning, headed for Athens, Ga. He did not seem to mind the long walk in the least, but rather seemed pleased with the prospects. "I am getting to be an old man," said Mr. Sheram ns he was leaving ?the Dall.*.

Hugs to Mat Bugs. We hardly realize that $250,000 000 a year, or abeu! $5,000.00(1 a week, is sjient directly ami indirectly in trying to check the ravages of the insect posts that prey on the crops. Besides (his, the pests eat, according to Government estimate's, about $f>00.000,000 worth of food annually, which brings their cost up to over $1,000,000,000 a year clear loss. In every state effective war is waged on these pests. But Hie. result is not seen in a diminished loss. livery weajion known to science is employ ed. Hut no sooner is a particular pest conquered in one part of the country than it appears in another. Emphasis has been placed in recent years on insect-destroying birds, and those are ticing protected in all kinds of ways. Laws against the uso of bird featherr on hats are part of this proteetie , and in many states forest areas have been established as hird refuges. Science lias also at tacked Hie problem in breeding in sects. The melon aphis, for example, used to cost the growers in one Cali fornia valley $5,000,000 a year. The lady bug, it was found, devoured the aphis. So lady bug? were col lected and kept in cold storage. About 2,000 pounds were gathered in certain canyons of the Sierras, each pound repre?onting about 25, 000 bugs. They bred prodigiously. It. was found that 50,000 of them would keep twenty acres of melons free ot the aphis and other plant lice. As a result, bumper crops have since bern raised. So now scientists are study ing the problems of bugs to eat bugs, which shall in themselves be harm less to the crops. And thus tho bat tle for the crops goes on yearly, and never before, perhaps, with such suc cess or with such general applica tion.-Popular Magazine. French Hum Alwintho Material.
