They forget that ] the other chaps have identically the , same factories to select from that I < Jv 0 I do. G. FRANK BAMBERG, J ? I cannot help it, if the bargain j vehicle you bought did not turn out ] v to be what you paid your money for < V v and the concern you bought it of is ; out of business. \ G. FRANK BAMBERG. j Don't say the old vehicle will 1 ;have to do, that it can be fixed up ' after a fashion. Isn't it poor econ- ] omy to make yourself dissatisfied, i IG. FRANK BAMBERG. ! Big city dealers must charge a 1 greater profit for the same vehicle. < Ev than I, because of higher rents, in- < $.? ' surance, taxes, cost of living anau T conducting business. < G. FRANK BAMBERG.

Ehrhardt Banking Co.?Statement. Letter to B. W. Miley, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Sir: Here's honesty for you! North Dakota has a pure paint law. Prof, Ladd, the state chemist analyzes a certain paint labled "contains only lead and zinc and is strictly pure," and finds it no lead at all, a resinous oil, and benzine. It is however, full-measure and contains no water. That's like the man on trial for killing his grandmother; proved that he didn't set fire to the house. No lead, but zinc and barytes, resinous oil, and benzine?"strictly pure lead and zinc paint!" Pure paint is lead-zinc-and-oil; but that isn't all; there is such a thing as proportion and make. The strongest paini is uevoe. North Dakota is doing a handsome thing in holding these confidence-people up to scorn. She gives their names as well as their works. Yours truly 20 F W DEVOE & CO. P. S. J. A. Hunter sells our paint. Orphan Work-Day. There is a family of 250 orphan children at the Epworth Orphanage, Columbia, S. C., Methodist. There are 250 orphans at the Connie Maxwell Orphanage, Greenwood, S. C., Baptist. There are 250 orphans at the Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, S. C., Presbyterian. Th re are 50 orphans at the Church Home, Charleston, S. C., Episcopalian. The Lutheran Church Home is at Salem, Va. The Hewbrew Home is at Atlanta, Ga. The Roman Catholic Homes are in Charleston, S. C. The support and care of all these various denominational institutions, **ith their large body of fatherless children, is a sufficient appeal to evsry heart. Some years ago it was suggested by Rev. Howard Crumley, Atlanta, Ga., that on the first Saturday and Sabbath of October, all those who love children set apart those days for gathering funds to relieve the needs of the fatherless. On that Saturday, let everybody old and roung, rich and poor, devote the day ;o the orphanages, each man sending tiis gift to the orphanage he loves ;he best or that lies nearest his heart. The Georgia scheme worked well. For several years an effort has been made to rouse an* equal interest in South Carolina, and Alabama and Florida have also taken it up. In every community some zealous brother might take up the matter and push it and the day's work from everybody would go to the orphans. This proposition is not in the interest of any orphanage; it is intended for each one to give to the orphanige nearest his heart. Give Saturday's wages to the orphans. Gather the proceeds on the Sabbath and forward to the institutions above named. It will be sure to reach the right spot, if drafts and checks are made eut to the name of the institution itself and provisions shipped to the same. We have no doubt that when in individual community makes special request of the railway authorities, flour and rice and molasses or my other products would find them willing to deliver without charge. Notice that this is simply a statement. Urgent appeals are not necessary. The orphans need help. The Institutions are unable to give it, without the backing of the people. A.t this season all their treasuries are greatly depleted. Do not overlook Che day. A good farm and a nice residence Cor sale. ' H. M. GRAHAM, Attorney.' William C. Wolfe Joseph A. Berry Ernest E.

Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us * Strong and Healthy. All the blood in the body passes throngh the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healfny they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symtoms?pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys. Mrs. J. Q. Adams, N. Main Street, Bamberg, S. C., says: "I have been using Doan's Kidney Pills for several weeks and can say that nothing I ever tried has given me as much relief as this remedy. I have suffered from kidney trouble for the past three years. There was always a dull pain across the small of my back and at times I felt very dizzy. The kidney secretions were very irregular in action and caused me added annoyance. Upon hearing of i-s Dllle, T eont thp jjuau a xviuucj jl me, j. sivuv w , People's Drug Store and procured a 3upply.
