THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6TH, 1916. Time to Call a Halt. Almost every day one reads in the newspaper of fatal automobile acci dents in other parte of the country and it is merely a part of the day’s news. Not until one of our friends or relatives is the victim do we realize the deadly power of these modern Juggernauts. Only those who have driven a smooth-running, high- powered machine can realise the thrill that animates a driver when his car leaps forward at the slightest touch mf the throttle, like a thing of life, and there is no music sweeter to his ears than the steady purr of a perfectly run ning motor. It is hard to resist the temptation to keep one’s speed within the limits of safety, and therein lies the greatest danger of automobiling. A loose bolt, a sudden curve in the road, a treacherous piece of road—and a living soul is hurled into eternity in the twinkling of an eye. Another thing that contributes to the dangers of motoring, not only to the drivers of other cars but to pedes trians, is the practice of allowing mere children, eight to ten years of age, to drive machines. It is hardly within the range of the probable that they would exercise cool judgment and re tain their nerve under the stress of approaching danger, even if their meager strength is equal to the me chanical operation of the modern high- powered automobile. And yet, every day. even in the towns of this county, one sees small children racing through the streets and over the roads—and we take it as a matter of course. Would it not be wise for the city fathers to enforce—rigidly—the ordi nances already in effect and to also pass an ordinance putting an age lim it on the drivers of automobiles, as is the custom in the larger cities? It is too lata to lock the door after the horse has been stolen and it is better to be safe than sorry. The People has received informa tion from a reliable source to the ef fect that “there is a scheme on foot, engineered by men of prominence, to amend the prohibition law so as to al low high license in Charleston and pos sibly other places.” The liquor dealers having failed to elect a Governor who would be friend ly to their interests, will now no doubt carry their fight into the General As sembly and try to have the law so amended as to permit them to do bus iness in certain cities. The people could> charge their representatives in the legislature to be on the qui vive and not allow anything to be “put over.” Election Commissioners Appointed. New State and Federal election com missioners were appointed last week by Governor Manning in accordance with the statute requiring that the commissioners be appointed every two years, sixty days before the general election.

W’hen your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don’t get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs tha^ excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with cold water and kidnecO which re- rfiovet the body’s urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal ac tivity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood- In .24 hours the; strain from it 500 grains of scuTaY waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lota of water—you can’t drink too much; also get from any druggist about one dozen 6 grain kid- neco tablets, take one tablet before each meal and at bedtime with aglass of water for a few days and your kid neys will act fine. This famous reme dy is made from perfectly harmless in gredients and acts quickly and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is s source of irriution, thus ending bladder weakness. Kidneco is inexpensive, cannot in jure, make no* mistake, insist on kid- neco which everyone should take now I and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kid ney trouble and backache.—adv.

Dear Sammy:— ‘ • * As you have not heard from me in quite a while Lthought I would drop you a line or two an<JJet you know how I am getting along. I landed in Columbia a few days ago and I think I will stay here—I like this place pretty well. They are going to have a Jubilee in October and all you hear is Jubilee and State Fair. Last year they told me there were about 130,000 visitors here and it was the biggest frolic they have ever had, that is why everybody is using the slogan, “Frolic Time in Carolina.” They are going to have a queen and all that sort of stuff, big street balls, and when it comes to the shows on the streets they tell me that they are pippinsIt won’t cost a cent. All you have to do is stand up andgaze. x _ m ' , One fellow told me that the parade dast year was over a mile long arMPf-said that it would be twice that long- this year. They are looking for 200,000 visitors this year aftd’ I certainly am going to be here for the frolic. Be sure and write me at once if yqii are coming so that I can get a .place'for you to leave your grip. You won’t need-a place to sleep. W’e will be too busy frolicing. I have been invited to the queen’s ball and I sure am going. They tell me that it is going to be the finest ball ever held in the State. k - I saw the photographs of some of the floats that were in the parade last year and they certainly were swell lootyng ones and this year they will be better. In a lot of the store windows-they are commencing to put up ttftYVest Jubilee colors. I really believe^ this burg has waked up, for they are certainly working hard to get in all the fun they can’for one week.. ‘" I don’t see'Tiow I.am going to see all the shows at once, because they are a block apart, but they will be running all the time and I will hang around each one of them to see what is going to happen. I like to look at parades and they tell me that they are going to have five during the week. The farmers' parade I guess will t)e one of the biggest agricultural parades ever held. The whole agricultural department of Clemson --• College, floats from a couple of packing houses, creameries, all the fine live stock, pig clubs, etc., will be in the parade —besides that there are a whole lot of farmers who are going to be in the parade with floats, showing what they have raised on their farms. These fellows are competing for prizes. Another th'ng that I have heard a lot about that I want to see is this open air dancing. It must be fine just to get out in the street and be able to dance a whole block. Iknow you can count on me being in it. I guess it makes a fine sight to see a whole street all lighted up and decorated and the street smooth and nice, with a couple of brass bands playing—why, a crippled man couldn’t keep from dancing, much less me. But there will be nothing doing when it-comes to skating, although 1 expect to be on hand to see^lrlgt of fellows hit the asphalt in the crowd. Lsaw pictures of the candidates for Queen. Gee, I didn’t know there were so many pretty giris in South Caro^Hk lina. It will be hard to pick the winner, . I am glad F got an inviution t6 the Queen’s ball because they are making^ LLfajk-nzcpsT. lions for the «rnnainmert ttwe tei the Pair Give my best regard* to Jim »’nl Aunt Lou.-~Thope txth Zf TT.Tm'WlTT te ' tbm dancing would do Jus’s rheumatism a world of good.
