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.
Why not "alliterative?”

Pay Up.
r.
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?
XT neigh bor i« not forced to pay his.”
Due and timely notice is to be given
i and if they still tail or
Noticu of Election.

as is provided by law for the holding

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.
