MOVING FOR GROWTH, An article, appearing herein, setting forth the exceptional ad. 1'tlntages of Pickens town and Pick ens county is well worth reading and considering by those who have lands to sell and also such as are in search of homes. In locatiug, the advantages at tending a place are the first things considered by the prospective buy. or. He generally soeks to find a location where als many conveni ences as piossible are to he found, whore the health conditions are gootl, and where he can be in po. sition to prosecute his business with the greatest possible oppor tunities for success. The remarkable growth of Pick ens in the past three years is only a suggestion of the possibilities in store for bjusiness men who are looking for a place in which to be, come a factor and a sharer ; in the increment of business that is sure to result in the steady yet rapid development of the country sur rounding and tributary to it. And Pickens county is one of the best agricultural counties in the favored Piedmont section of South Carolina. Lands produce abun (dantly, yielding as freely as any lands under wise cultivation, and the inviting feature of it all to the prospective buyer is that these naturally produictive lands are yet to be had at oltremely low prices. If you have lands to sell, join 11 the movement that is shaping fo: liberal advertisement, and lot peo know someothing of a country thai offers these advantages. Every sale effected means an increase iri the value of the lands adjacent. Il means growth, and a commumity Once aroused to its advantage., wil: accomplhsh something for itself. A TIMELY SERMON. The sermon delivered by Dr Thomas, at the Baptist church Sunday, on "Obedience to Authori ty'' was a timely one, and im, pressed all who heard it teontlye. ly as a forceful appeal to all p.o pie to yield petty, personal differ enees, and mor. grievous one a wellh to settlement on the just ani etluitable basis of man's brothe: hood He appealed to the peopl to leav~e off the cavils that lead t open enmity, andi to live in hai ion7 with all mankind by th striot rule of the laws of the lan< many of which are the outgrowt of oustom While tighteos ttatu make. laVa Hie ulted the via tions of thO'Xspensati law and th weapon law othis state as instat ses throug' wLh a dirgr athoritt as gr ing vat,and ow obediene. SA opinions as to itu norits. Such sermons as this, takon home to each individual, are worth more to a commniity than all poK siblo political arguments in sup r port of a law. The issuo as to :11nw is settled when it is enacted. But the isue, deilt with by the preach or for the benefit of the people, is the duty of the citizon with re slect to the law. And to all, save those who are in open rebellion against legal authority, the ob servanco and enforcement of laws, however unpopular, are among the first duties of citizenship, and it is to these that the preacher appealed lost at ia time when passion or pred"jadice might intrude to influ, once, they give their sanction to lawlessness by some act of viola tion or, by their conduct, encour age violation by others who regard then as propor exponents of citi. zenship. .0@MISCELLANEOUS. [ A SERMON ON (iIVING. Preached by Rev. J. E. Foster at Secona Baptist Church, Sunday March, 1, 1903. Acts, Ch, 20, verse 25. "Remembor the words of the Lord Jesus ,bow he said it is more blessad to give then to receive" That is a striking verse which concludes the go.-piel testimony of John. See 21st chapter 25th verse. Doubtless the passage is highly metaphorical, but it cantaiuis this great truth: that the Savior's say. ings were 80 very numerous that it was impossible for them all to be recorded, or if recorded, that they could not be read. Now we need not be astonished at finding Paul using a saying which he ascribed to Jesue, al. though it is not found in the writings of the Evengelist. The face of Paul's who possessed the spirit of inspiraeion, stating this sentence to be Christ's is sufficient warrant for its Divinity. Let us then regard this passage as a precious gem of truth, by the Apostle from oblivion, that it 3 might instruct and edify all 6 true believers unto the end of the r world' In the text i 1. 'there is a blesednesa Implied. 2. Trho blessedness implied is iJ that of receiving. The passage derive, all its logical force from this: 1. It is blessed to recive a supply of our temporal needs, thus1 we are blesse3d of God e:kery day' The body has its Wants and necessities, and these must b)e met or misery is the remult. As e temporal happiness is infinitely preferable to temperal misery, then it nmust be blessed to receive' New it is also blessed to receive this temporal supply through the medium at our fellow-men. For an illustration of this, see the miracle of the loaves and fishes. It is blessed to receive alleviation from our sorrows and sufferings,. Man is an heir to sorrow, born to it and ever exposed to it in this world. where it abounds. sometimeis this may be sorrow of mind, sometimes. pain of body. 'Well it is a blessed thing to re ceive consolation, receive hesling or even alleviation. Who does not congratulate those who were the object of Christ's compassion on earth? Do you not say that blind BartimleLs wre blessed, the man whose son Wias possessed, the lepers, the widow who received her son to life again? and Mary and Martha who received their brother back to life? Oh, yes, surely they were blessed'- So, when our poor afflicted fellow creatures are sick and in sorrow, is it not blessed for them to receive sympathy indeed? 3'- It is especially blessed to receive spiritual favors. Jesus Rtyled it to be blessed -to have the privilege of the Gospel. Luke 10 23. When the mind is dark, how blessed to receive the comforts of the Holy Ghost, and a sense of forgiving love" "How blessed to receive grace to help in time of need" Oh who can tell how blessed it is so receive the pearl of great price, the new name, the white stone. God generally makes use of men as the instrument in eon. veying the knowled geof th eway of salvation to the benighted sinner. But we notice: 1- It is more honorable to give than to receive. Men have apled worldly honor to many n ahg horrid and vile. The sue. oesstul leader of a distroying army, the man who risks his life a and daree to attempt the death of a another is styled so. Ob, this is .falsely iained, this is barrefnness, whatever m nty dall it' A great deal ojf honho r of the I4 world Which is not evil is vain, a trifling and wotthless' flut there a Is iie hoSnot oantiected wt ,beneWoletios atid l11 talit ' Th# hot~or i# ttIUW f# laf kUn S ad e ynolds Wi Iouish whati -t natneS Ut statesit.e g hitosophe ad *aftao* bhall o.station the e ap Wn a Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Bl0d. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes, The kidneys are your . blood purifiers, they fil . ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do - their work. Pains, achesandrheu matism come from ex Cess of uric acid in the ki - y b blood, due to neglected kidneyr trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unstead heart beats, and makes one feel as thog they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney. poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin. ning in kidney trouble.

'Unto hin* that hath &c." We annot do good to others without enefitting ourselves. The streams 'hich go out from us will return pon us again.

When we think of earth, ,1 e contetnplate a needy world an onstantly requiring the outpour- U ng of blesuings from above. th Vhon we think of' a world of m~ abundance and profusion, a world rom whence flows streams of ilies throughout the whole Tuiverse of God. But what is he greatest blessedness to Which Tc 'an or ituigel is capable of being xalted? Likeness to the Divine lory. This was man's original ignity. And do not forget that St ~od is glorious in wisdom, holiness E nd truth, yet none of these form 9 he preeminent glory of God, is k.nd this is the Apostle's des. Sa 'iption of Deity. God is love, m~ Chus God is good, universally re mnd is ever doing good by giving M o all his creatures. All depend of 11)on him. He supports all from du he flaming seraph to fluttering, pR osect, and it is only when we rise fr o the lof ty eminence of liberality ar hat we are closely allied to th~e CO leavonly and Divine. Then re. nember the Son of God, the Rie. ~ leemer of the world, Ye know the oL raoe of our Lord Jesus Christ s which saved us frotn sini and hell. ~ and what was His whole life? A sh ife of giving. He gave light to the er, gnorant. He gave pardon tu the stuityi peace to the wretched, lope to the miserable, life to the .j lead and salvation to the lost, of What gave Hie?
