THURSDAY JANUARY 7th, 1915.
< Few people realize the trials anc
tribulations of the country editor. 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

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

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.

You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
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.
