The citizen who told us to call atten:ion to the wild onions all around the Confederate monument in rear of the )ld court house is right. We agree tfith him right now when he says they should be taken up before spreading and getting beyond control.

It may be interesting to Newberry people to read what the Sumter Herild says of it down there: "The city board of health has held several meet ings to consider the advisability of placing a quarantine here, and we unlerstand that at present the members 5f the board are very evenly divided 3n this question. There is a tendency ?n the part of the school board to fight ;his measure on the grounds that if :hey are closed now they cannot be >pened again during this session. . .

His popularity is due in no small measureto his active interest in the affairs of his community and his advice on social and political matters is much sought. Mr. Teal has been afflicted for a ' loner time with a particularly malig j nant form of stomach trouble which | seemed to defy all treatment until a friend of his, Mr. Basinger, told him I of Dreco, the new herb medicine. I which he said helped him wonderful:, liy. Here is Mr. Teal's story of his ex* | perience with Dreco. It will prove inj teresting reading for the/ hundreds of ' anH wnmon in this section who think their cases are beyond reliefs Read every word: "I have been suffering for years and| the doctors ^aid I could not live six -, months longer if I wasn't operated on They made an X-ray picture and said I had a "kidney stone."

"The reason I ever bought the first ' j bottle was because it had helped my ! friend, Mr. Basinger, so much. I "I expect to take a half dozen bottles before I stop and feel that I will1 be permanently cured." Dreco is the purely herbal medicine that is causing such a furor through out tms section, nunareas 01 men and women are taking it regularity and reporting remarkable results in. cases of stomach and kidney disorders,, liver complaints, constipation, . rheumatism, catarrh and similar troubles.
