All the wrestling fans of Sumter county are expected to attend the boot at the Academy of Music on Thursday night when Joe Turner, world's champion middleweight, and Jack Ross, the Greek Roughhouse, of Columbia mix-up on the local mat. Never before have the fans in this immediate vicinity had the opportun ity of seeing a world champion in this city and the local promoter went to considerable expense to bring the champion to this city to workout for the fans. Ross is copsidered one of the headliners in the game, and was the best mpn the promoter could get to book with Turner. Those who have followed the game think a great deal of Ross' work and feel that he will give Turner a good, hard battle to pin his shoulders to the mat. Reserved ringsid' seats will be on sale Thursday at Mitchell's Drug Store, and mail orders will be given special attention. A large crowd is being arranged for, and one of the best bouts ever put on in Sumter will be staged at the Academy of Music on Thursday night. Mail orders should be sent in as early as possible. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Barrow Entertain. One of the season's most enjoyable social functions was the Thanksgiv ing party given by Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Barrow at their hospitable home on Thursday evening from f until 11 o'clock in honor of their visiting guests,' Misses Elizabeth Hentz and Ethel Wells. The halls, parlor and dining room were tastefully decorated for the oc casion with myrids of cut flowers and ferns and presented a scene of lovli ness. Assisting Mrs. Barrow in re ceiving' the guest were Miss Elizabeth Hentz at the hall door and Mrs. Ernestine Fisher at the parlor door. For an hour everyone indulged in merry conversation and- listened to many beautiful selections on the piano. played by different ones. The guests who numbered thirty were then invited into the dining room where a delightful course 'of fruit punch and real pound cake was served much to the delight of all. After ascending back into the parlor interesting games were played.

To the Editor: There are many negro readers of your journal-the leaders of the race in South Carolina. I fer to the preachers and teachers; then there are many white reade % of your jour nal who would gladly give informa tion and instruction to the negro peo ple. As I see it there are some se rious problems ahead of us for the next 12 months. First,. the food prob lem. The chances are that the prices of food will go upward instead of downward. Then there is the labor problem. We can't produce food with out labor. Everything possible should be done to get our people to sow wheat and other grain, not only those who live in the country but those who live in the city should get an acre or two of ground and sow wheat, rye, oats and plant everything in the vege table line that will grow from Jan uary to January. I never tell people to do what I am not doing myself; "somewhere" in South Carolina I planted wheat this week. The labor problem will continue to be serious unless the negro and the white people can get together. Even now there is a wood famine, people in the cities can't get wood to burn because there is no one to cut it; there is plenty of wood but the cutters and haulers are few. Our people who farmed have "plenty of money" and they are not dependent on wood for cash, at least for the present.

(Y GOODS ( - SUM rage Seven ten days people crying for wood from Conway to Rock Hill;. the next cry will be for bread and meat.. White and negro must get together co-ope rate and solve these serious problems; for what hurts one race will hurt the other and that which helps one race will help the other. I am not writ ing this article for prominence nor to appear as a leader, but I am in earnest, I am only a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ and this is the gospel that every preacher should emphasize. "Children, have ye meat," "Gather up the fragments that re main, that nothing be lost." He who came to save man's soul also provided bread and meat and taught economy. Richard Carroll, Columbia, South Carolina. Weak Kidneys Make Weak Bodies Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches and Ills of Manning People. As one weak link weakens a chain, so may weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breaking-down. Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and gen erally when their activity is lessened, the whole body suffers. Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills frequently come, and there is an ever- increasing tendency towards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's disease. When the kidneys fail there is no real help for the suf-4 (erer except kidney help. Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys. No need to take the statement of someone living far away as evidence. Here is a case right in this locality. J. R. Dyson, farmer, R. F. D. No. 2, Silver, S. C., says: "My kidneys were in bad shape. I had paints in my back and loins and could hard ly walk at times. I wAs sore and lame and had rheumatism twinges in my shoulders. My head ached dnd 1 had spells of dizziness. The kid niey secretions passed irregularly, sometimes being too frequcnt and then again scanty. My knees and ankles became swollen. I doctored ind tried different medicines with no results until I finally used Doan's Kidney Pills. They relieved all signs f kidney trouble." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't -imply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Dyson had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.-adv. 1N Add useful ifts.
