W. F. CALDWELL, EDITOR
IT NEEDS CAREFUL THOUGHT.
Tho timo for electing all the
rulers of thc land from tho presi
dent of the United States down to
tho smallest ollice holder, is fast
approaching and the candidates
arc already beginning to announce
themselves while the gathering of
political conventions and the ar
ranging for thc coming campaign
all over tho country is taking
place.
It would bo well for the voter
when ho goos to the different cam
paign meetings this summer and
when ho goos to cast his ballot at
the polls to seriously consider the
men for whom he votes. It would
be well for him to feel certain that
he has cast aside all prejudice
favorites and sentiment and to?
vote for tho host man for each and
every position. Be not lead by sen
timent or prejudice. Vote for the
best man all the time. Vote for
those wdio will give you and thc
rest of the people the most faith
ful service and cast aside all oth
ers. Wc are glad to see that there
is no dividing linc among our peo
ple in this slate today and we feel
certain that tho mass of thc peo
ple can be relied on this summer
to elect the best men and that is
all there is needed.
Since the Democrat bas adopted
the cash in advance policy in ac
cordance with the modern business
methods and thc rules of the post
office department wc have received
several letters from subscribers
wanting to know why their paper
isn't coming and all this too in
spite of the fact that notice was
given in advance and statements
mailed out to those in arrears.
And in this connection wc will
mention a letter which came from
one of the subscribers thc other
day. This one said that ho had
been a subscriber for the Demo
crat and his subscription was paid
for up to along sometime in
1902 and that until the present
management took charge, of the
paper be bad always received it
promptly. And he was wanting
to know why his paper was not
coming! Mind you bc was owing
six year? on the Democrat and was
still expecting to receive it. Wc
can't run newspapers for a accom
odation although there is a lot of
that done in the newspaper busi
ness and for which we receive
nothing but grumbling. We need
money in this business just as the
merchant needs it in his. There
is the printers to pay, the cost of
the paper, the press to keep in re
pair, the postage bill, thc light
bill, the gasoline bill, and numer
ous other bills. And all this is
more costly than it used to bo.
Paper and help bas gone way out
of sight. \nd surely the editor
must have something. It is true
that after all expenses have been
met there is very little left for
bim.
No if your paper has been stop
ped Or should it. bo stopped yon
may be pretty certain of the fact
that you are behind. True we
may occasionaly overlook one who
bas paid and if this is thc ease and
you will come around and tell us
we will be glad to put your name
back on the list and make up for
the time which bas been lost. Wo
can't run a paper on time and
promises but wo must have the
cash and if you are not willing to
pay in advance then you certainly
do not expect us to semi you the
paper.
But all conn* around and talk lin;
matter over with us sud we will
make it right. The. Democrat is
now right, up to date, t wice its for
mer size, and you should not mind
paying one dollar for it. Von get
far more than timi, from it even in
one month so that you practically
receive it eleven months free.

The Orangeburg times and Dem

way.

Several of tho papers of the
state are discussing the "rat" hab
itation in that most favored and
secure of all places the ladies hair.
We don't wonder, since so many
"rats" arc about, that the hats this
coming season for the ladies are
very large. It will take a large
one to provide shade for their
"protegees."

attended the service at the Baptist
church, and gave earnest hood to

effects of grip, but all are now at

Lau rill, who recently went to
Fayetteville to bc operated on for
appendicitis, is getting on nicely,

KEEP THE KJDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and
Some Bertncttville People
Know How to Save it.
Many Bennettsvillo people take
their lives in their bands by neg
lecting thc kidneys when they
know these organs need help.
Sick kidneys arc responsible, for a
vast amount of suffering and ill
health, but there is no need to suf
fer nor to remain in danger when
all diseases and pains due to weak
kidneys can bo quickly and per
m cn tl y cured, by the use of Doan's
Kidney Dills. Hero is a Bennetts
villo citizen's recommendation.
tl. E. Covington, Parsonage St.,
Bennettsvillo, S. C., says: kk()f all
tho remedies 1 over used for kid
ney trouble, Doan's Kidney Pills
were thc best. My back was very
lame and if I managed to stoop, it
was only with thc greatest difficult
that I could regain an erect po
sition. I could not lift anything
without having sharp pains shoot
through the small of my back.
Another source of annoyance was
tliO too frequent action of tin4 kid
ney secretions often obliging me
Lo risc several times during thc
night. Having hoard that Dean's
Kidney Pills were a syccilic for
such troubles I bought a box at J.
T. Douglas' drug store. They
acted like magic in my caso, not
only stopping tho back nebo but
strengthening thc kidneys and bon
eliting mo in every way. I will
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
every time 1 have, tho opportunity
as I know they act just as represen
ted." V. IL

Rheumatism
I have found a tried ?nd tested euro for Rheu
matism! Not a remedy timi will straighten tho
distorted limbs ol chronic cripples, nor tum bony
growths bock to flesh again. That li. impossible,
ina 1 can now surely kill tho pains and pangs of
this deplorable disease.
In Germany-with a Chemist in tho City of
Darmstadt-I found the. last Ingredient with
which Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy was made
a perfected, dependable prescription. Without
that last Ingredient, I successfully treated many,
many cases ot Rheumatism: but now. at Inst, lt uni

milch dreaded disenso. Those sanddlke granular
wastes, found In Rheumatic Mood, scorn todlssolve
and pass away under the action of this rcmody as
freely as doe? sugar when added to pure water.
And then, when dissolved, these poisonous waste?
freely pass from tho system, and the cans? of
