Parcel Peat and Tha Merchant.
The announcement in Sunday's pa
pers that the parcel post service would
be improved and extended, the pro
posed change to take effect August
15th, caused some Barnwell merchants
to throw up their hands and bewail the
passing of the small town merchant.
Now as we see it the parcel post can
be made either an instrument of good
or a weapon of destruction for the
merchants of the smaller towns It is
quite true that the system opens up
broader paths for mail order business,
and goodness knows there has slreadi
been enough money sent swsy from
Barnwell County to the mail order
houses of the North and N* r%t Hu!

down and bemoaning their fate sh,

a total of $15.00 to reach 1,000 people.
A large, percentage of these will imme

the waste basket when they see the

•It is very dry but we hope to get

Dr. Alsberg, the successor to Dr.
Wiley, the pure food expert, among
other things prescribed for summer
comfort, says, “Don’t wear too many
clothes.” The Doctor certainly must
have been speaking to the men, as that
advice is unnecessary for the women
—with the present day fashions.
And what has become of the old-
fashioned farmer, who, with generous
hospitality, always remembered the
editor with luscious watermelons,
cantaloupes and peaches in the good
old summer time?

Barnwell Guards Cut Short Their Stay
at Encampment in Aiken.
Although the Barnwell Guards, Co.
E, Third Regiment, N. G. S. C., left
Thursday morning for Aiken, expecting
to stay on encampment eight days,
stragglers from the company began to
arrive in Barnwell Saturday morning
and when the six o'clock tram arrived
that evening the entire company was
back
It seems that the company left Barn
well with thirty-four men, four short of
the number required by law When
the soldier boys reached Aiken, Cap!
Harley found that tbe-offiyers in charge
had ruled that all companies had to ar
rive in camp with the full numt>er of
officers and privates in order to reave

For the benefit of all partiea con
cerned the following information ia giv
en out by the County Board of Conunia-
■iooen:
At a recent meeting of the board it
was decided to warn all parties doing
work or contracting for work on the pu£
lie reads and bridges that no claims
yfor
against the county for such work will be
approved, unleas the claimants can show
authority from proper officer for doing
same.
Merchants and others are warned
that bills contracted by Captain and
Guards of the Chaingang will not be
approved unless it is shown that they
had proper authority for contracting
same.
Promiscuous repairing of roads and
bridges must be stopped. No warrant
against the funds of any towuship will
be approved unless it is shown that the
claimant had the proper authority for
doing the work.
The amount approoriated by the
General Assembly for certain accounts
has been exaustea. No further claims
against these accounts will be approved.
Our action in this matter is based on
the following section of the supply bill
for this county:
“Provided, further, no contracts shall
be made, accounts approved, no war
rants drawn in excess of the appropria
tions herein, without the approval of
the delegation to the General Assembly
first obtained under the penalty imposed
by section 532 of the Criminal Code,

Adjutant General Moore contended
that the Orangeburg. Barnwell and
Bamberg Compamc* did nut have the
• f *oUireU flUmber rsi men, and it i* ru
mored that regimental officer* argued
the matter with the adjutant general,
contending that he acted arbitrarily in
refuaing to permit the three compame!
to remain on the same terms the other
commands are on, but the commanding
officer! are, of course, discreetly silent
They have nothing to aay for publica
tion, though it it Very evident that the
matter has been under discussion among
themselves—in fact, that it has been
the absorbing topic. They, in conwf.On
with the people of Aiken, are keenly
disappointed because the three com
panies wen: not permitted to remain in
camp.
Adjutant General Criticised.
Open criticism of the adjutant gen
eral is heard on the street. The people
of Aiken, especially the business people,
made extensive plans for the entertain
ment of the soldier boys, subscribing
the money out of their own pockets,
and they plainly feel that they have not
been treated with any more considera-
tibn than were the three companies
Sent home, because in the case of the
Orangeburg company, it lacked only
two men of having the required number
of men.
While they will not talk on the mat
ter—and could not with dignity discuss
their views—it is evident that the offi-
cers of the regiment feel that Adjutant
General Moore is enforcing the letter
rather than the spirit of the military
law. Aiken people in close touch with
the situation attribute the action of the
adjutant general to his recent unpleas
ant rupture over South Carolina Mili
tary affaire with the governor.

COULD SCARCELY
WALK ABOUT
tad For Three Sommers Mrs. Vin
cent Was Unable to Attend to
Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant Hill, N. C.—“I suffered for
three summers," writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, “and the third and
last time, was my worst.
I had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about. Could not do any of my
housework.
I also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, 1
would have to give up and lie down,
until it wore off.
I was certainly in a dreadful state of
health, when 1 finally decided to try
Cardui. the woman’s tonic, and I firmly
believe I would have died If I hadn’t
taken it.
After I began taking Cardui, I was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re
lieved me entirely.
I fattened up, and grew so much
stronger in three months, 1 felt like an
other person altogether."
Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle-
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic
effect, on the womanly constitution,
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner
vous system, and helps to make pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what.it has
done for them. Try Cardui today.
