Clinton Folk* Are Learning How To Heed It. v - Are you miserable with an gphing back? Do you get up lame and stiff; drag through the day feeling tired, weak and depressed? Then you should help your kidneys. Backache is often the first sign af failing kidneys. Uri nary troubles quicfcly follow. Neglect ed, there’s danger of gravel, dropsy, or fatal Bright’s disease. Don’t wait for serious kidney sickness! Use Doan’s Pills, a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys, before it is too late. This Clinton resident tells an experience: H. Y. Abrams, barber, 44 Academy St., says: “My kidneys acted irregu larly and sometimes the secretions were scanty in passage. My back ached and at times, it was an effort to stoop, as my back felt sore and stiff. I used several boxes of Doan’s Pills, from Young’s Phamacy, and they were the means of relieving me.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t sim- E ly ask for a kidney remedj—get loan’s Pills—the same that Mr. Abrams had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

And why do you take such care of us, And keep us so safe at home, And are never easy a moment If ever we chance to roam When you ought to be thanking heaven That your Plague is out of the way, You’ll keep fussing and fretting, “Where is my Plague today?” If a Plague peeps out of the window, Up go the eyes of men;* If she hides, then they all keep staring Until she looks out again. —Aristophanes. o — y IN HONOR OF NEW YORK GUESTS On Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs. W.

C., March 4.—Wednes day at high noon at the {Todd home on West Main street, the wed ding of Miss Lilia Johnstone Todd, of this city, and Walter A. Johnson, of Clinton, was solemnized in beauty and simplicity. An altar 'formed of ferns, ivy, white carnations, and fresias, and lighted by white candles in antique candelabra with cut glass prisms, made an unusually lovely background for the wedding party. The jedding music which consist ed of ‘On Wings of Song,’ by Mendels- shon-Liszt, and other Liszt melodies, was played b&r Miss Frances Davis. As the opening chord of’ Wakner’s ‘Bridal Chorus' from Lohegrin an nounced the wedding hour, Dr. Davi son Douglas, president of Presbyter ian College, Clinton, who performed the beautiful service, entered and stood before the altar. He was fol lowed by the groom, Walter A. John son, and fii« best man, Lonnie Mc- Millian of Clinton. Then the little maid of honor and neice of the bride, Amelia Todd Nicklea, exquisitely dressed in white crepe chiffon and silk lace, and wearing a hat of white chiffon, came in carrying a colonial bouquet of sweetheart roses and val ley lilies. • As the bride entered with her brother, Thomas Erskine Tood, her <iress of white crepe Roma, self- trimmed, her tulle veil falling over her face to the hem of her dress and arranged with orange blossoms, her bouquet of brides roses showered with valley lilies, she made an arresting picture in her bridal beauty. The decorations in the dining room were similar to those in the drawing room where the ceremony had been performed. On the table, which was covered with cluny lace, was a silver basket of white cut flowers and silver candlestick^ with white tapers. In the library amid a profusion of yellow daffodils and jonquils the pres ents were displayed. Because of a recent bereavement in the- bride’s family, only the imme diate relatives of the bride and groom were present. The out-of-town guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Allan Johnstone, of Newberry; Mr. and Mrs. George McCutcheon, of Columbia; Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Coleman, of Aiken; Mr. and Mrs. Laurens Mills, of Camden; Mr. and Mrs. James L. Kennedy, of Winnsboro; Dr. and Mrs. Davison M. Douglas, of Clinton; Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie McMillian, of' Clinton; Mr. Thomas Erskine Todd, of Birming ham, Ala., and Miss Margaret Mills, of Converse College, Spartanburg. Mrs. Johnson is the youngest daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Erskine Todd, of this city. Her many accomplishments, charming personality, and beauty have made her one. of the most popular young women of Laurens. Her going away costume was an ensemble suit of black silk bengaline trimmed with white squirrel and ac cessories to match. Mr. Johnson, formerly of Milwau kee, Wis., but now of Clinton, is the athletic director of the Presbyterian College, where he has been most suc cessful for a number of years. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson Will be at Itome in Clinton after March 15th. j THE JEDGETS JOSH ; Old Faahioned Bleeks: “My wife is just like the rest of them. She will have the last word.” Spiffy: “Man, she’s outta date. It’s the last shot, these days.” Milk and Honey Oldtimer: “Can your wife live on your income?” Newlywed: “Oh, yes—yes, indeed.

Making special appeal to entire membership of the Southern Presby terian church in the interest of the every member cahvsss for thy bud get of this church for the coming ’year, which 'will be made on Sundrfy, March 16th, Rev., M. E. Melvin, D. D., of Chattanooga, Tenn., general secretary of the stewardship confhtit- tee of this church, says: “All eyes in our church are fixed on the afternoon of March 15; the future plans of our executive agencies center there; every plan and program of the denomination rests on the outcome of that day, whether it be the increase of the pas tor’s salary or the entrance of the open doors in the mission fields at home and abroad^ On that afternoon 438,000 Presbyterians will give their answer to the i askings of the church courts for the maintenance of work already established and for needed en largement. “This is a period when the church needs to be much in prayer. The to tal askings of the assembly, synods, and presbyteries for benevolences amount to $4,750,000. To this must be added approximately $8,000,000 for local current expenses by the officers of the local churches. Surely this is a task that challenges our best effort and most earnest prayer.” The stewardship committee, of .which Dr. Melvin is secretary, directs the every member canvass, and in keeping with tj>e recommendation of this committee, which has been ap proved by the general assembly of the church, there will be 60 per cent of the *$4,760,000 pledged for benevo lences applied to assembly’s causes and 40 per cent will be applied to the causes of the synods and presbyteries. This division will give to foreign mis sions $1,581,750; to assembly’s home missions, $760,000; to Christian edu cation and ministerial relief, $365,000; to publication and Sabbath school work, $95,000; to assembly’s training school, $28,500; to Bible cause (Amer ican Bible society), $28,500; a total of $2,850,000 to assembly’s causes. The remainder of $1,900,000 will be ap plied to home missions, educational institutions, orphans’ homes, and other benevolent causes in the 17 synods and 89 presbyteries of the church.
