'L- THURSDAY DECEMBER 3, 1914. What of the Homeless at Home? ‘ A few weeks ago a certain daily newspaper in one of the great cities started a movement for sending a ship load of Christmas presents to the or phans of Europe. The idea “took, because it was new and novel and it af forded an opportunity for cheap no toriety. • Now another great daily paper comes forward with a scheme for having American homes adopt the orphans of Europe. That, like the Christmas ship, is more or less commendable and it, too, affords an excellent means of ad vertising-advertising the newspaper. It is well to relieve distress in Eu rope. It is welt'to provide homes for the orphans. Both may bring forth letters of thanks from kings and queens and lesser dignatiries. All of which, to be sure, would make excellent read ing in print. BUT WHAT OF HOME? Wr.at of the hundreds of thousands of children in OUR OWN COUNTRY to whom Christmas will be but an emp ty name—a mockery? What of.the little babes in OUR OWN COUNTRY who are pining and dying for want of proper nourishment? What of the mothers whose breasts are empty because the table is bare? What of the fathers who are walking the streets because there is no employ ment for them? What of the young girls in the great cities who are dragged down to the depths because their positions are gone, their board bills are overdue and r- they have nowhere to turn—no great paper to head a campaign in their be half? What of the orphanages right here in South Carolina that are making appeals for the help of the more fortunate? We of the smaller towns and cities do not see so much of the privation and want that so many are facing nor do we realize the temptations to which many young women are being driven, but they are grim realities, neverthe less. Europe has our sympathy—it should have what assistance we may reason ably extend—but charity should begin at home, and the Lord knows there is abundant call for it in the Uuited States today. But then there is no glory in that— no advertising in that—no notoriety for the givers. It is just charity—and plain charity is not pojiular.

Many owners have no in surance and little if any means of fire protection. The two recent emergency warehouse fires befehave demonstrat ed how quickly cotton wfill burn. It is, therefore, up to the town coun cil to take immediate steps to restrict or entirely prehibit the use of fireworks during the approaching Christmas sea son. In the past it has been a pretty general practice 40 send up paper bal- loons from different parts of the city, thereby endangering the property cf the people of Barnwell. The firing of V.

Husband Came to Rescue. Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: “1 suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, 1 would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but 1 was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak 1 could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and 1 com menced taking it. From the very first dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. I 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 its 50 years of continuous success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years. He knows who| it will do. Ask him.

So it is in all kinds of business, banking included: the old way if not adapted to modern progress must give place to newer methods. Keeping money at home, subject to loss-by theft and fire, has for the most part passed away in Barn- — well County by reason of modern facilities in banking.
