The best nibbing liniment is, MUSTANG LINIMENT Good for the A ilmenls of Horses, Mules, Cattle, Etc. Good for your own A chea. Pains, Rheumatism, Sprains, Cuts, Burns, Etc. 25c. 50c. $1. At all Dealers. The very tardy manner in which many of our subscribers have treated our request for a settlement of their past due subscription dues impresses upon us very forcibly the necessity for ehsnging to s strictly cssh-in.sd- vsnee basis. As we pointed out in previous issues, the price for news paper stock has advanced more than 100 per cent in the past feef months For instance, as late as last Spring, print paper could be bought as cheap as |65 a ton. On September 27th the quotation waa 654 cents a pound, or $180 a ton. TW'manufacturers say that in all probability the price will go to 10 cents by the first of January. It is manifestly impossible to con tinue at the old rate and with the old hit-and-miss methods of collections. Not only The People, but every news paper in the country that ia not on a cash-in-advance basis, loses hundreds of dollars annually by the failure of subscribers to pay their dues prompt ly. Frankly, we have stood about ss much of that loss as we can reasonab ly stand, and afterthe first of January, 1917, all subscribers who are not paid in advance will be dropped from our list. This does not mean, however, that their accounts will be automati cally settled, as we intend to uses every legitimate means to collect them We wish to call the attention of our readers to the agreement between the publishers of The People and The Sentinel, which is printed on the front page of this issue. Their action is merely one of "safety first” and is be- 'ing put into effect by practically every newspaper in the country. You will save both yourselves and the publish ers considerable trouble and annoy-, ance if you will look at the label of your paper right now and if you are in arfears send us check or money order by return mail for an amount sufficient to settle past dues and at least several months in advance. Re member, you can get the paper now for $1.00 a year, limited to 5 years in advance, and that after Jan. 1, 1917, the price will be $1.50 a year in ad vance to all—absolutely no favorites, it matters not who or what you are. In all fairness, won’t you give this matter your attention right now? With so many ignorant, irresponsi ble negroes buying automobiles it be hooves the officers of the law to en force the laws against speeding more stringently than ever. Unless they are made keep their^speed within the bounds of safety, other users of the public roads will take the law iri their own hands. Honestly, now, can you imagine “Coley” addressing a crowd of ne groes and calling them “my friends”? But, then, as the negro bishop ex plained, all that blood and thunder talk on the stump was merely to tickle the ears of the voters and to catch their votes. We see by the papers that a prize is being offered at one of the county fairs in this State for the ugliest girl or woman driving a certain popular- priced automobile. We certainly would hate to be one of the judges. .1. What about our suggestion to put an age limit on the drivers of auto- whv driver to endanger his own life and the - lives of others? And according to his own boastful < statement, it waa Mr. Blenae’s vote *nt landed the negro Murrey in Con , a white man named Mome. |; Why is it that afimet every rattle- j li' . md a State of Ohio.

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don’t get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that 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 moves 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 they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of water—you cant drink too much; also get from any druggist about one dozen 5 grain kid neco tablets, take one tablet before bl 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 anck^cts quickly and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged^kidneya; also to neutralise the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Kidneco is inexpensive, cannot in jure, make no mistake, insist on kid neco which everyone should take now 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. Undertaker Williston, - S. C.

HnWaJ Catron, Ky.—In an Intending letter Iran this place, Mrs. Bettis Bullock writes as follows: “I suflend lor four years, with womanly troubles, and during this ttme, I could only ait op lor s little while, and could not walk anywhere at an. At times, 1 would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor waa called in, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After • that, nothing seemed to do me any good. 1 had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me t bottle ot Cardui, the woman's tonic, sad I com menced taking it From the very first dose. I could tell it was helping me. I can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing all ary work.'* If you are all ran dewa bom womanly troubles, don’t fivt up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman'stonte. It has helped more than a million women, in Its 50 years of continuous success, and should rurety help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui tor years. He knows what it will do. Ask him. He will recom mend it Begin taking Cardui today. H’rvf* to: Ck>U.mo«. SMWOm Co.. L*4tn‘ AJvncry D*!*.. Outunoota. Tmn.. for ..p^ruU /njtnrtumj m row . .m book. Hob* Truimat tm Waaaa."
