. THE MARLBORO DEMOCRAT BEOTETOSYILLE, S. C. W. F. CALDWELL^ EDITOR *MONEY AND ITS BENEHTS. " Everybody knows what money is. Wc probably hear that word used more than any Qther in the English language ant] today tho world is talking money abovo and beyond everything else. It is tho drcam/>f thc young man and maiden to some day have money. It is the desire of those who already have a goodly portion of the world's goods to get more money. In fact it is fast eclipsing everything oise if it has not already done so. It is the key which unlocks every door but that of eternal life and some people are sacrificing even that for money. "Money is the root of all evil," says tho Bible and wc sec that fact illustrated day by day. Men rarely ever do evil for anything else than money. Or at least it is the cause of more evil than any other ono thing. No matter what the apparent cause of a wrong is if you will trace it back to its source you will invariably lind that money is the starting point and that from it all of the latter consequences How.' People will rob, steal, lie. burn, and even commit murder for money. It was the love of money which caused Benedict Arnold to be tray his country. That arch trai tor of them all Judas Iscariot gave his Eord into the hands of his ene mies for filthy money. Homes are ruined for money. Character and virtue are sold for money. In short there arc all kinds of crimes and whole lists of evils which arc laid at the door of money. Here in our own state wc have ?nd can cite many examples of tho abuse of money. All are familiar I Tb?jiilh n?tKvC ot ibis o iw KI: \ ?i?Hh vvt? disgraced Hy indne.S ?icu. .i.w.. ..'hu ....v. always ..iv..... high in the social and religious circles, once they got connected with the dispensary seemed to lose whatever force of character ?nd principle they had along this line and would join in the grab game, the stealing of '"blood" money as it was often called. A terrible abuse of money that was and will long stand as a blotch up on the otherwise fair and proud name of thc state of South Caro lina. Various are the abuses to which mont y is put. Men gamble, buy their way into the legislative halls, stand as guardains and the lawma kers of the people and pose as vir tuous and high minded men, when in fact they aro nothing but frauds and vampires. Sucking the very heart out of the poor people for money. Causing untold su Hering and misery for the getting hold of the hard earned wages of the la boring people, and then turning philanthropists in the latter days of their lives, money is being abused wofully by some men. Another very llngrant abuse ol' money is war. Men and nations array themselves in armies and Meets, pillage, bum and kill and it takes money to carry all this on. The history of thc world bears us out in this Statement and will fur nish evidence OH almost every page of one of the greatest abuses to which money has Ween subjected from almost the timi- man was first (rcated, Wc can't take space lo incut ion all the abuses of money, Trusts, monopolies, liulawful combina tions, the shielding of thc crimi nal because he is a man high in lin money world, the sale ofJhpiOrb.V the state and county, and many oth cr examples of tho abuse of nioner could lie told bul those will have lo SllllicC. Standing in contrast and pre scnting a pleasing side of tho pict ure if we can so image money is the good will and Hie cheer which money is causing everyday. Men nie able to supply the needs of this life and to live in comfort with money. They can get all con voniencnces and to uso an everyday commercial expression. It is tho whole thing:. Education tho Chris tianizing of tho world, aro some of tho benefits which aro dorivod from tho right usc of money. Not counting physical comforts-and tho good will which is accomplish ed in this is almost innumerable tho carrying of tho gospel of peace to the heathorn and unsaved by means of money more than repays for all abuses. In furthering peace and good will among mankind money is nccccssary. And this is brought about not so much by money but by conditions which arise through the right uso of money. People who are at first warlike and wick ed become educated and enlight ened through the means and influ ences which money creates. Then follows a passing and a getting a way from thc animal instincts and thc impulses of first blush ana a getting nearer to the higher and more nobler allairs of life. Tho promotion of the brotherhood of man is one of tho grandest and most magnificent teachings of tho world and of the present day gen eration. We might outline other uses of money. Follow the child which is trained from thc cradle through manhood and on into after life by the right use of money and we can see a good example of its right handling. Thc child is trained properly, honoring its parents and worshiping its God, grows up to make an ideal man or woman and passing away leaves behind an honored name. This life is a blessing to humanity and meets all of the requirements of the use for which money was intended. Hut probably for our immediate consideration thc matter of obtain ing an education and the opport ...-.i*-- ?">flV"*ep! pt' rocmev ic> o**e n^ lion.

All of the good results from education along some linc. With education has come onlightment and all of tho higher aspirations of the human race. The lifting above tho com mon level and that power which enables man and woman to stand the trials and discouragements of every day life is resulting from education anti makes firmer and more real their fast hold on the Hock of Ages. It has ever been. thus and will always bo so. Al though we sometimos think that thc people today aro money mad, vet when we view the good which is being accomplished through thc right use. of money wc will see that our first impression is wrong. There are a gi cat many good and noble men and women still lefi and we verily believe that the world today is nearer the Brotherhood of man ami Universal peace than ?tl ever has been before in all history.

I was also bothered by a frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions from' c' this I decided that my kidney were out of order. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills, I had my husband procure a box for me at J.T Doug las drug store and I began taking them, following the directions closely.
