discussed the Health udes to the
delight of nil present.
Friday morning many an anxi
ous farmer arose early, til raid that
they would see n big killing frost,
but to their delight and relief the
high wind during the previous
night had prevent ed :i heavy frost,
lt is stated by se\ eral that they
saw (mite a sprinkle ol' fiost. hilt
not
damage. Tho heavy wind the af
ternoon beforo lashed tho small
cotton and other tender vegeta
tion, doing more damage than tho
frost.

.John K Fletcher, one of our
county commissioners, was in

animal. What he has done eau be
dono by other farmers in this
county. They can raise just as

spend the summer months in Char

tember or October.
All over the United States, and
in other countries, the cotton fac
tories are running on short cut
time, while many mills have closed
down entirely for sixty and ninety
days and perhaps longer. These
mills have millions of manufactur
ed goods, unsold, on hand. This
fact, alone, will encourage a re
duction in price for cotton. These
numerous tamiles, in mid summer,
thrown out of employment with
out means, will work untold hard
ship on this class of people. Of
course many of them can lind w ork
on the farms during tho fall
months, picking cotton, but just
what will become of them dunno
the summer is the important ques
tion.

WOMEN'S WOES.
Benrtettsville Women Are Finding
Relief ai Last.
It does seem that women have
more than a fair share of thc aches
and pains that afflict humanity;
they must "keep up" must attend
to duties in sp'.to of constantly
aching backs or headaches, dizzy
spells, bearing-down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop
means torture. They must walk and
bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills.
Kidneys cause more su tiering than
any other organ of the body. Keep
the kidneys well and health is easily
maintained. Read of a remedy for
kidneys only that helps and cures
the kidneys and is endorsed by
people you know.
Mrs ?V RGrice, Merkinson St.,
Benncttsvilio, S C., says: " I am
very thankful for what Doans Kid
ney Pills did for me and willingly
recommend them. 1 was bothered
fer a long time by dull, nagging
backaches, the pains often extend
ing into my loins. Headaches and
dizzy spells occured frequently. I
could not rest well at night and
morning arose so tired and lang
uid that I did not feel like commenc
ing the day's duties. I was also
bothered by a frequent desire to
pass the kidney secretions from
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. They gave me moro relief
than any remedy 1 had previously
taken not only stopping tho back
aches but streng'honing my kidneys
and restoring my lost energy."
