the monthly reports of dispensary sales

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.

as much cotton “stored” in back yard

After Four Tears of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bollock Gave
Up u Despair. 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. He will recom
mend it Begin taking Cardui today.

“THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH,
YIELDING PLACE TO NEW.”
King Arthur sadly realized this truth when in passing
away, he gave utterance to the-above thought. 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.
MONEY IN BANK, CHECK BOOK IN POCKET
tS^ the new order now practiced by all who are really
progressive.
First, select the bank wisely, and if the acid test of capi
tal stock protection is used, you will choose this bank.
Then ask for the check book which we furnish' without
cost to you. We want your business and heartily invite
you to maintain business relations with us.
