I - J • » / JAN. 15,1913. When a woman suffering from some form of feminine disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course frightens her. The very thought of the hospital operating table and the surgeon’s knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder. It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but thousands of women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. This fact i: attested by the grateful letters they write to us after thei; health lias been restored.. These Two Women Prove Our Claim. Cary, •* I fe.‘l it c duty I Cwe to all Rufforiuj? wom^n to tell what Lydia E. I’inkhuui’s Vegetable Compound did for me. Ooe year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sidi*s and such a soreness 1 could scarcely staighten np at times. My back ached, I hud ao appetite and was so nenrous I could not sleep, then I would he so tired mornings that 1 could scarcely ^ get around. It seemed almost im possible to more or do a bit of work and I thought 1 never would be any - better until I submitted to an opera tion. I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new woman. I bad no pains, slept well, had good nppe- ■ tite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a family of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your medicine.” —Mrs. Hayward J?owers, Cary, Mo. Charlotte, N. C—“I was in bad health for two years, with pains in both sides and was very nervous. 1 i I even lifted a chair it would caur • a hemorrhage. I had a growth whk !i the doctor said was a tumor and I never would get well unless I had an operation. A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound, and I gladly *ay that I am now enjoying fine health and am the mother of a nice baby girl. You can use this letter to help other suffering women.”—Mrs. Rosa fenta, 10 Wyona St., Charlotte, N. U How answer this Question if you can. Why should a \vc- man submit to a surgical operation without first giving Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that h has saved many ethers—wny should it fail in your case? For SO Tears Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable land * Ills. k has been the standard remedy for fo rty! No one sick with woman's ailment* W does justice to herself if she does not try this fa- moos medicine made from roots and herbs, it has restored so many suffering women tohealth.

PAGE SEVEN SOLONS STARTED WORK TUESDAY UKNKKAL ASSEMBLY CONVENED AT NOON JANUARY 14. ELECTIONS AND MEASURES Annual Sea»>loa uf Heath 1'arollBa Luwmakei n Promise* to be later* tercstlng—l.i*t of Members Particulars The general assembly of South Car olina convened in regular session at noon on January 14, as provided by the constitution of the State. Of the 4 members of the senate, 28 of them including the hold-over senators and those re-elected were in the upper house during the last term. In the house of representatives 90 new members, elected It? 1 November, will be seated, with the 34 re-elected then. The g< neral assembly will elect, probably coon after il convenes, two cirtuit judges, a superintendent of the penitentary and three members of the penitentiary’s board of trus tees. Judge R. E. Copes of the First circuit has resigned and the term of Judge T. S. Sease has expired. It is understood that P. T. Hildebrand of Orangeburg, solicitor of the First circuit, M. S. Connor of St. George, a member 5 of the Dorchester county bar, and Octavus Cohen of Moncka Corner, will seek to sueceeed Judge Copes. So far as is known. Judge Sease will Le unopposed for re-el ection. Compulsory Relocation. One of the most imporUnt measures which will come before the general assembly will be the com pulsory education bui, which will be introduced by Senator Hall of Cherokee, The measure will un doubtedly meet with opposition. In his annual report the State in surance commissioner advocates the adoption of a State life insurance law. In the light of past experience, it is highly probable mat this recom mendation will be Introduced in the form of a bill in either the house or senate. , It is also probable that k bill pro viding for the medical inspection of children attending the public schools w ill be introduced during the session. A bill providing for medical inspec tion was passed by the last general ssembly, but failed to get the two- thirds majority to pass the house again, after it was .ctoed b> the governor. The coming session of the general assembly will probably bo ccm> in tercstlng. It Is, of •ou r so, impos sible to forecast what •' wh! accom plish in the way of beaeiici&l and remedial legislation.

Four tc:*n Hc»u>*e** Have Been Acldecl to the Residence Section, Ehrhardt, Jan. 11—W’ith the be ginning of the new year many signs of improvement have been noticed is indicative of a substantial growth of tills town during the 12 months past. Fourteen commodious dwellings ive been added to the residence section, representing an increase, possibly, of 130,000 to real estate values; while half as many more iwellings have been wonderfully Im proved by the use of .the paint brush. Several new business enterprises tave been launched during the same time, while the mos; recent state ments of the two banks indicate most irosperous conditions with them. The older of these is the Ehrhardt Banking Company,, Jpo. L. Copeland president: J. C. Kinard, tlce-preai- lent; and A. F. Henderson, cashier, heir report showed a net earning of 17 per cent, a dividend of 10 per ent, with $1,000 passed to surplus md the remainder being credited to real estate, fixtures and furniture. This bank has made many friends by its safe and conservative manage ment. At the close of business December SO. 1912. the Farmers and Merchants ban. S. W. Copeland, president; J. H. Roberts, vice president, and W. Max W’alker, cashier, showed a net earning of 11 per cent, and a sur plus 6f $1,000 for Cue year’s work. The stockholders and directors ex pressed themselves as being much gratified with these results, especial- ’y in consideration of the fact that -Is bank is only two years old. On January 10 they will inarease the 'apital stock $10,000. All Ehrhardt is welcoming the new Yfehodist pastor. Rev. u. C. Hutch inson. He is a young man of fine Msonal appearance and pleasant ad dress. His last charge was Winns- ~>ro. Mr. Hutchinson preached to a large congregation at thr Baptist .lurch last Sunday night. Quarterly conference was held with the Methodist church here last Saturday and Sunday. Jules Road of Hunter's chapel community makes an efficient officer as secretary of his body. It was a rare privilege hut the community enjoyed of hoar- g two very able sermons during e conference by Dr. Daniel, the presiding elder. Yc/Ui Druggist lias a Kciuccly THAT HE GUARANTEES TO PROMPTLY RELIEVE ALL STOM ACH DISTRESS. People go on suffering from little rtoniadi troubles for years and im agine they have a serious disease. They over-eat or over-drink and force "»n the stomach a lot of extra work, hut they never think that the stom ach needs extra help to do the extra work. If these people would take Rlood- ine with or after meals, it would be i great big help to the stomach in its strain of over-work. No matter what you eat or drink, Bloodine will sweeten your emir stomach and stop gas belching in five in:nutes. The heaviness disappears, and the stom ach is greatly aided in its work of digestion. Bloodine not only promptly re lieves all distress, but If taken reg- ilarly will absolutely cure indiges tion by building up the flabby, over- orked walla of the stomach and ake them strong enough to digest the most hearty meal. All druggists sell and guarantee Bloodine. The price Is 50 rents a 'arge bottle. Test sample free for a cents to pay postage from the Bloodine Corporation, Boston, Mass ohn M. Klicn, Agent.
