A correspondent writing from Lake City to the Kingstree Weekly Mail, April 27, says: "J L C Moore, one of our largest strawberry planters, picked in two days 90 bushels of strawberries off of four acres J ' Viotto cnlr? tViPm at. fhp * *?

EXPOSURE To cold draughts of air, to keen and cutting winds, sudden changes of temperature, scanty clothing, undue exposure of ^ throat and neck after public speaking and singing, bring on coughs and colds. Ballard's Horehound Syrup is the best cure. Mrs. A. Barr, Houston, Texas, writes: "One bottle of Ballard's Horehound Syrup cured me of a bad couth. It is pleasant to take." 25c, 50c, $1.00.

Carter, of Atlanta, Ga., "and consulted a a physician who advised me to try a box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. I purchased a box and was cured. It is splendid for piles, giving relief instantly, and I recommend it to sufferers." DeWitt's Witch v Hazel Salve is unequalled for its healing qualities. Eczema and other skin diseases, also sores, cuts, bums and wounds of every kind are quickly cured by it. Sold * by Dr. H. F. Hoover. ? A girl residing in a Lake Michigan town has recovered $500 damages from a steamboat company for naming a boat after her without her permission. An exchange says she took offense at a marine item stating that "Kitty Marshal, ^ having been thoroughly scrubbed, painted, refitted with figure-head and new boilers, will hereafter serve as mail-carrier, and poke her pretty nose into the lake business for all she's worth." N H. F. HOOVER does not hesitate to recommend Kodol Dyspepsia Cure to his customers. Indigestion causes more ill health than anything else. It deranges the stomach, and - % brings on all manner of disease. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat, cures indigestion, dyspepsia and stomach t disorders. Kodol is not only a perfect digestant but a tissue building tonic as well. Renewed health, perfect strength and increased vitality follow its use. The unprecedented speed of 109.4 miles an hour was made by a Michigan Central train with the president of the road aboard. The remarkable time was made * for a distance of 5.47 miles. This establishes a world's record. Some people do not understand Mayfield's withdrawal from the second con% gressional race. He has only withdrawn for the unexpired term, and will be a candidate for the full term in the primary this summer. WHOOPING COUGH. "In the spring of 1901 my children had whooping cough, "says Mrs. D. W. Capps, of Capps, Ala. "I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with satisfactory results. * This is the best remedy I have ever seen for whooping cough." This remedy keeps the cough loose; lessens the severity and frequency of coughing spells and counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia. Sold by Bamberg Pharmacy; H. C.

Now that's some- J t thing a man never could do properly. I j 1 have noticed that many of them go at it j the same way they go to washing a dog \ \ or sawing wood, which is entirely wrong, j c In my experience and humble opinion,! c a waist should be gathered with the right arm, although long practice has enabled some to use right or left with equal celerity. It should be handled, this gathering of |) a waist, about like you would take hold of j a dozen eggs done up in a funnel shaped t paper at a grocery store, until you are j f sure you have it gathered and all in hand j ^ or arm and then, rizht then, the amount; t of firm and steady pressure that a little, i c frail-looking waist will stand is enough to j1 make a man wish for the gathering pro- j | clivities of a polar bear. c I have never been there?not even in a pipe dream?but I have a fashion of observing things. i A SURE THING. It is said that nothing is sure except death and taxes, but that is not altogether j true. Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption is a sure cure for lung and throat troubles. Mrs. C. B. VanMetre, of j Shepherdtown, W. Va., says: "I had ai severe case of bronchitis and for a year ; tried everything I heard of, but got nc j relief. One bottle of Dr. King's New. Discovery then cured me absolutely." It's;" infallible for croup, whooping cough, j. grip, pneumonia and consumption. Try i; it. It's guaranteed by J. B. Black, Bamberg; H. C. Rice, Denmark.

One afternoon, to test him, she disguised herself, rang her own door bell, and inquired if Mrs. Dash was at home. "Yes, home all lightee," replied Wing Chow. "Come in dlawing room, I findee shee." Mrs. Dash seated herself j ^ and waited?waited so long that she be-! | came uneasy, and was about to rise and | seek her pupil, when the front door bell ' rang. Wing Chow did not appear in response, and the bell rang again. Mrs. Dash hastened to open it and was con- I fronted by the Celestial. "I pletty fine f man!" he exclaimed with a delighted J grin. "You foolee me; next come my turn, I foolee vou." t ' t After Wing Chow had studied at a J Sunday-school and became a member of a church he decorated his remarks with 1 scriptural phrases. He grew dissatisfied J ! and pleaded for an increase of wages. | "You vely rich woman, I velypoorman," I he explained, "money I wish you more give me." Mrs. Dash rejected the plea and Wing Chow appeared to submit. But on the following morning, when the good woman entered her dining room, though the room had been swept, the table laid and everything left in perfect order, there was no Wing Chow. Beneath a plate the perplexed mistress found a note, which reads as follows: "You vely rich woman; I vely poor man. I ask you more money; you givee me none. O lamb of God, I go." A STARTLING TEST. To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa , made a startling test resuiting in a wonderful cure. He writes, "a patient was attacked with violent hem- 1 orrages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. 1 had often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver I troubles so I prescribed them. The patient . gained from the first, and has not had an ? attack in 14 months."
