JULY 3. 1913. The Pr*M Association. Columbia may boast of her square meals, Spartanburg may be the city of success and Rock Hill may be a good town, but Charleston proved to the editors of South Carolina last week that she is eligible to lay claim to all of these, for her hospitality was un bounded. It was our first trip to a gathering of the scribes and our visit to the Isle of Palms, Carolina's famous seashore re sort, was thoroughly enjoyed There we had the pleasure of meeting a large number of brother editors, than whom there is no finer set of men in any walk of life A number of excellent papers were read by members of the Association and the way In which editors damned the subject showed that these gather tafa are not held for pleasure alone but with an honest desire to exchange ideas with the view of bettering con dltmaa and Itfoag the profession up to the ptaae where it r^htfully belongs We thank each and eiery member of the Assorts lion for the msny court Stlsa shown us during our stay at the lale of Palma Md sincerely hope that wt will all be spared to meet next year at Chick Springs, at which inland rsaort the Knights of the Blue Pencil hstf fifettd to bald their neat annual the Newberry Obaerver blames the free paaa for the insult handed the Bute Prrsa Association by the govern or when he ordered them to be watched during their cosvesboa on the Isle of Palms last week to see that they did not buy whiskey from blind tigers To boar him out la this assertion. Kditor Wallace argues at length that in accept ing a pass from railroads in exchange for advertising, the editor sells his self-respect and his paper to the rail roads It seems to us that his assertion is rather far fetched The governor no doubt intended his orders as an Insult, but the free passes had nothing to do with the attitude that the members of the association chose to take in regard to his action. To treat it w ith the si lent contempt that they did was the best thing to do. Such petty methods as he uses at times in dealing with those who are against him politically are apt to prove boomerangs. The Bank* and the Soil. Here is a roll of honor: Bank of Bishopville, $150. Bank of Sum ter.'taxi, City National Bank of Sumter, $300. First National bank of Florence, $150. First National bank of Conway, $100. Bank of Darlington, $150. The six institutions in the counties of Sumter, Florence, Darlington, Lee and Horry have contributed the respec tive sums to be awarded in prizes to farmers engaged in a three-year rotation system of soil building. These are by no means the first con tributions by banks in South Carolina to be used as incentives for farm im provement, but that does not take away from the worthiness of them. The contributions are made in co operation with the Department of Agri culture and Clemson College and that insures that every dollar will be ex pended to the beet purpoee. In July a campaign will begin in eastern Carolina, by the Department and the Callage, to is a fine thing that the banks are aattat- ad in it in the manner indicated The interest of the banks and the farmen is mutual. The interest of the dties and the farms is the same. In an agricultural region the cities are de pendent upon agriculture and the short est and surest way for scity to promote its own prosperity is to assist in the de velopment of the,country roundabout that creates the wealth on which its trade depends. The recognition of this fact is the explanation of the contribu tions by s the banks to the cause of im proving the soil, which is the improve ment of the farmers and through them finally it is the improvement of the condition of the banks.—The State. In making up its roll of honor, The State failed to mention the Home Bank of Barnwell, which is offering $50 in gold to farmers engaged in a three-year crop rotation, an account of which ap peared in these columns several weeks ago. Otherwise, the above is eminent ly correct, and we add our "amen” to what our esteemed contemporary has said. Clean-up Day. The People wishes to commend the action of Mayor Harley in setting apart Monday and Tuesday of next week as clean up days. We are all prone to let things go hang these hot days, when, as a matter of fact, it is the very time one’s premises should be kept exceed ingly clean. In many back yards in Barnwell there are numbers of old tin cans and broken bottles that are veri table incubators for mosquitoes This is extremely dangerous to the health of the people of the community, as mos I will dtecoatinoe back-stamping all ordinary mail today, according to Or der No. 7107, and will continue to back- tamp all registered and special deliv ery mail, regardless of class, as amend ed Sec. 611, Postal Law* and Regula tion!.

Notice to Magistrate* of Barnwell County Notice is hereby given that I, W. L. Woodward, Coroner, request that the several Magistrates of the county will stop holding inquests unless especially notified by me. The promiscuous man ner in which the inquests have been held heretofore renders it impossible for me to keep a proper record, and for this reason I am ordering that no inquest be held except by my orders. When it becomes necessary Tor an inquest to be holden in any part of the County, it is the duty of the magistrate who is near est the murder or homicide, or any other person who may have the matter in charge, to notify me, and upon said notice I will be upon the ground in proper time or notify some magistrate to hold the inquest.

Husband Came to Rescne. Catron, Ky.—In an Interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "l suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, 1 could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called In, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and 1 gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com menced taking it From the very first dose, I eould tell it was helping me. 1 can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing all my work.” If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped more than a million women, in Us 50 years of continuous success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years. He knows what it will do. Ask him. He will recom mend it Begin taking Cardui today. Write to: Ch*tt*»ooo Mc*lc!n« Co., UrfVj* Advisory Dept.. Chatt*noo*a.
