To the casual observer, the follower of the Fourth Estate has a bed of roses upon which to lie, is fed upon milk and honey and has no worries whatever Far from it Under ideal conditions, perhaps, he would write with the fervor of inspira tion, but instead he often writes under the spur of necessity. From week-end to week-end its one continual grind- hunting local news, looking over ex changes, trying to collect a few dollars with which to meet current bills and hoping against hope that you, dear delinquent subscriber, will come in, settle up that long past due subscrip tion account and renew for one year in advance. While writing editorials, the mind is often occupied with thoughts of the bos in ess office—those statements that should have been mailed on the first of the month, that note that is due at the bank. Ma^be he is called from his so- called “easy-chair” to act as the “devil” in the composing room, where for the time being, there is a rush of work. From writing of the latest success of local society’s belle he may be called to write the obituary of some old codger who died owing for several years’ sub scription, the collecting of which is ss much a probability as that the statute of liberty will fly from her pedestal in New York harbor. Then if he inadvertently forgets to “localize” the fact that John Snodgrass spent Wednesday in Bugville on im portant businees he is most likely to get a curt notice from the aforesaid John to stop his paper. Oh, yes, we certainly do have one cinch in this life, but, honestly, is it any wonder that the typical country editor is a long and lanky and cadaverous ktoking individual? By authority of Education, notice is hereby given a special teachers’ examination held in the Court Honse at Brevity 1 may or may not be the “soul of wit,” but there is no question in re gard to brevity being the soul of con versation nowdays. The aim of the up- to-the-scond conversationalist is to cut all concerns and get there in the short est possible time. In days of yore a man was polite un der all circumstunces, no matter how tuuch tine it consumed. Then he would say, “My dear sir, I desire that you Un derstand thoroughly that I comprehend fully,and ip all 'detail the information you are endeavoring to impart to me.” Now he says, “Gotcha!” “It is reported that some of the Georgia weeklies are using pages from The Congressional Record as wrappers in their mailing department. This goes to show there is nothing that can’t be put to some use.”—Columbia Record. f ■ And the above paragraph goes to show that even our brethren of the daily press do not know it all. The weeklies of South Carolina have been putting The Congressional Record to a practical use for lo! these many years. ^ Pursuant to an order of the Probate Court, I will sell the personal goods and effects of H. C. Creech, deceased, at ; his lata residence near Kline, S. C., in the County of Barnwell, on Tuesday, the 12th day of January, A. D., 1915; the sale beginning at fen o’clock (10 o’clock) A. M. and continuing from day to day until the whole of tne said property has been disposed of. The property consisting of a number of fine farm mules, three (3) milch cows and two (2) calves, 25 killing hogs and a num ber of other hogs of all sizes, and corn, fodder, forage, seas, wagons, farming implements, plowsj wagon gear, house hold and kitchen furniture, 1 piano, 1 sugar milUlyOaklahd automobile, some new and second-hand buggies and a stock of general merchandise in the store on the place, stock in Home Bank of Barnwell, stock in Farmers Ware house. Terms of sale, saie cash upon deli very of the property purchased. Lottie S. Creech, Administratrix. 12-24-3t The Kaiser says that his nation is “prepared to sacrifice its heart’s blood for the sacred domestic hearth which we are defending against outrageous invasion.” From which we are to infer that the invasion of Bel gium, France and Poland by the Ger mans, who laid waste the country they conquered, is by no means “outrage ous.” While the editor heard much hard times talk Monday, we failed to find a single man who was so down-cast that he could not see a single ray of hope in the future. Nearly all of our callers were of the opinion that present con ditions will in the end prove to be a blessing in disguise. Treasurer’s Notice. The Treasurer’s office will be open for the collection of State, County and School taxes levied for the fiscal year commencing Jan. 1st, 1914, from the 15 day of October, 1914, to 15th day of March, *0| 915 to Jan 31, 1915 inclusive. 1st, From Mr. J. M. Weathers bee, of Rosemary township, was in town salesday. He called at The People office and showed the editor a chunk of lime which was found on a farm on Tinkers Creek. Mr. Weathersbee believes that it will be valuable as a fertilizer and as the deposit is a vcy large one, will no doubt prove to be profitable for the owner. A sample will be sent to Clem son College for analysis. QUARTERLY REPORT of Fines, etc.. Collected by J. B. Armstrong, County Treasurer, Oct 1 to Dec. 31, 1914. E. W. Holman, Magistrate. We call attention to an article in another column of this issue signed “Q. E. D.” This is the first of a series of “talks” that are to be submitted to the readers of The People to demon strate that prosperity will come from growing stock and that misery will continue to appear at recurrent inter vals from the all-cotton fatuity. The first article looks all right logic ally to us, but as we are not authority on farming, there" may be errors in it that we fail to detect. If there are, we would like to have them pointed out, as we do not wish to be the medium of misleading any one, least of all our * farmer and |enant friends. Hunk TkUOmr.

When that time comes to you, you know what tonic to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com posed of purely vegetable ingredients; which act gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs, and helps build them back to strength and health. It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak, ailing women in its past half century of wonderful success, and i{ will do the same for you. You can’t make a mistake In taking Cardui The Woman’s Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. P. D. Na 4, Alma, Art, says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth, for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was . so weak and nervous, and had ■such awful .dizzy spelts and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything,’* Begin taking Cardui todafk Sold by all dealers. Has Helped Thousands,, MAN of family has a big mponeibility.
