The Fames Union News desires to call the attention of its readers to the Farmers’ Union History* written by National President C S Barrett. The readers who have not secured a copy should do so at once. There is no book of its kind that is near so valuable as is the “Mission, History and Times of the Farmers’ Union.” The lecturer, the organizer, the local and county officers especially need this book. It will help them a great deal in carrying on their work. Don’t fail to secure a copy of this ‘ history at your earliest possible, moment.— Farmers Union News. It was not my pleasure to know Mr Sanders until the campaign last summer, but' from then until his death our friendship was as close as it. was possible to become. Few men knew Mr Sanders as I knew him. At our first meeting I was im pressed that he was no ordinary man. He waa broad-minded, yet very conservative in his actions. He was watchful of the interests of his constituents and careful that his judgment was on the side of right Mr Sanders was ndt a politician. He was no office-seeker. He thought the office should seek the man and not the man the office. But I am of the opinion that his official life had just begun, for when the people found out what manner of man he was they would have given to him any office within their right of be stowal, because in honoring him they would thus have honored themselves. Yes, Colleton County has lost a man in whose integrity and ability they had confidence. Had he lived 1 their confidence would not have been betrayed. Personally, 1 will miss him. I • admire a manly man, a man with back-bone that will stand up to his honest convictions of right to friend cr foe, and that man was the Hon. D C Sanders. We will soon have to elect his successor. I do not know who that ' man will be, but whoever he THE H. W.

They find that they have interests in common, and are brought to realize the value of good citizens to the county. But, aside from this, com mercially the county fair is a valua ble institution.

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus’ Dance and Spasms, are all nerv ous diseases. They have been cured in so many instances with Dr. Miles’ Nervine that it is reasonable to conclude that it is almost sure to cure you. With nervous diseases of a severe type, persistent use has almost invariably resulted in a complete cure or lasting benefits, worth many times the cost of the rem edy. The best evidence you cati get of its merits is to write to those who have used it. Get a bottle from your druggist, 'l ake it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will re turn your money.
