A?WeD Merited Tribute. —«« V 1 . . «- - In expressing his appreciation of the article which The People reproduces this week from Southern Schoql News, the Hon. 0. B. Martin, Assistant in Charge of Demonstration Club Work, wrote the publisher as follows: "Allow me to express my apprecia tion of the article in The Southern School News on Mrs. Dora Dee Walker. This is one of the best deserved tributes that has appared in your paper since I have been reading it. Mrs. Walker is a beautiful example of devoted woman hood. She has contributed much to the success of the Girls’ Canning and Home Demonstration Work, and she is held in the greatest esteem by our agents, not only in South Carolina but in other States.” This tribute from Mr. Martin is as well merited as the one in the magazine referred to. No one is prouder of Mrs. Walker’s success than her friends, who rejoice with her in the recognition that her splendid work is receiving. THURSDAY APRIL 29, 1915. Mother’* Day. Several years agp, a man who had been honored by his fellow citizens to the extent that he was elected to high office, conceived the idea of "Mother's Day"—a very pretty custom that has been growing in favor. For yean and years we have been cele brating the birthdays of the great men 9t the nation and of the world, but somehow it never occurred to us to pay honor to the women who had borne those men—and others not so great It Is not a difficult matter to observe the Day. All that is necessary is to waara white carnation, if possible, but a white flower of any sort will do. That is "the outward and visible sign.” If "mother” is living and you cannot eae her in person, a letter will touch her heart. If possible, spend the day with her. If she has “gone home,” it would give her pleasure to know that her boy or girt was keeping her mem ory fresh and green. The following beautiful tines by Edna Tucker Muth appeared in the current number of the Ladles’ Home Journal. They ahoeid be read by all who rever ence the thought of "mother”: My soul in reverence now prays For me, for thee, this day of days— » With joy and thanks remembers thee, * With earnest longing asks for me That 1 may grow as thou hast grown, Knowing the sorrows thou hast known Grasping the joy that has been thine; The greening year, the blossoms’ shine, The fruit of purpose, rich, mature, Faith that survives, hopes that endure; A light heart baffling the rime, Feeling no chill, no blight, no time, ..Reacting in itk pleasures mild, With that glad lilt which buoys the child. as thou, for secret stress Keep tears; that smiles poor eyes may bless, Keep my hsnds cleansed from sordid dross. My shoulders squared to raise the cross, My eyes uplifted, mother sweet, From the dull pain that clogs the feet My soul asks in the days to be That I may, stumbling, follow thee, And following still, as once 1 ran Across the floor—a little span— Each step by step and day by day May take me on my mother’s way; So my glad soul remembers thee And asks this—always this for me. Oh, mother dear, thou’rt far away, Thtyk on thy child this Mother’s Day. Some of the weekly newspapers of the State particularly those which \ were pro-Blease, are trying to make a mountain out of a mole-hill in that asy lum matter, claiming t that Governor Manning had no right to increase the pay of the physician in charge when the legislature has fixed his compensa tion at 13,000 a year. They are right in this, but if we are correctly informed the increase comes from Gevernor Manning’s own pocket. The next gen eral sssembly can, if it chooses, reim burse, him but it doesn‘t have to. There are some people in this world who will try to make political capital out of the poorest sort of material. The Barnwell People has as a head to a county newsletter, "Facts and Fancies from Fair Fairfax.” That is nearly equal to the illiterative stunt ol' "Peter Piper’s Picking a Peck of Pickled Pepper.”—Newberry Observer.

As stated in last week’s issue of The People, the city fathers have decided to push the collection of delinquent taxes. There are a number of property owners in Barnwell who have not paid anything in several years. A govern ment, whether it be municipal, county, state or national, depends in large measure upon taxes as a source of revenue. If only one small taxpayer out of every hundred failed to pay his taxes the loss would not be so great but a dangerous precedent has been eetablished. A sees B following this practice and the question at once arises .in hia mind, "Why should I pay mine?

COULD SCARCELY WALK ABOUT ",r • , , V. I 4ad For Three Sununen Mrs. Via- ✓ 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. 1 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. 1 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, I felt like an other person altogether.” Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle acting. Its ingredients have a mild, ionic 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.
