AFTER EFFECTS OF MEASLES Mother, Who Lives in Tennessee Mountains Where Black Draught Is Relied On in Many Troubles, Says It Made Her Boy Sound and Well. . Coal Creek, Tenn..-Up in the moun 'taint quite some distance from town, 'lives Mrs. U. S. Fritts, who relates her experience with Thedford's Black Draught 'as follows: "My little boy, James, took sick with diarrhea, about five years ago, and was badly swollen. He had the measles and this was, no doubt, an after-effect. I made him well by giv 'Ing him Thedford's Black-Draught. T gave it to him three times a day for -a month. I firmly believe it saved 'his life. We always keep Black-Draught in -our house. It is our doctor. Always easy to get antd prompt in giving re lief. A small pinch of Black-Draught after each meal and at bed time f'or headache, stomachi and liver trouble, -and we are well the next morning. It certainly works wonders some times and saves no end of trouble, re lieves pain, and there is no need for another doctor. I have reconmended Black-Draught -to all iny nelghbors andt will continue to recommend it." Thedford's llick-I lraught is a pure, vegettble herb -liver merlicine, acting gently, yet promuptly, on liver and bow -els. Thousands of perople, everywhere, have found it to relieve constipation, indigestion, bilousness and many similar (isorders. Try Black-Draught. Your druggist sells it.-Adv. True to His Promise.

DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark j the Progress of South Carolina Peo pie, Gathered Around the State Capital. Columbia. The South Carolina Anti-Tuberculo sis Association is closing its books for the 1917 campaign on the sale of Red Cross seals. I)r. L. A.' Riser, the executive sec retary of the association, made an at tempt to raise $10,000 by the sale of these seals. Thus far $9,932.87 has been realized and a number of agentc have not sent in their reports. It is thought that the small amount of $67.13, necessary to bring this amount up to $10,000, will yet come in. Gr 'en wood county sold the most seals per capita of any county in the State. Richland came second and Orangebur,; third.' Richland pays the salary of a nurse from the proceeds of 'he seal sale and Orangeburg and Greenwood will each have a nurse to do 1ub) ru. losis work this year. The negroes have organized an as sociation which is known as the Pal metto State Association. They sold seals among members of tu&r own race and collected $388.56. This is the first year they have sold seals and they hope to do m'uch bedter next year. To Get Certificates.

The growing of castor oil beans for the oil that is in them has proven suc cessful on a small scale in this State. It might be well for farmers to make further inquiry and to satisfy himself as to whether or not his soil is adapt able to theg rowth of castor oil beans. The cultivation of such beans is being pushed by Phillip H. Arrowsmith, local food administrator for Williamsburg county, at Lake City. Those interested would do well to communicate with the food administration or Mr. Arrow smith. Mr. Arrowsnith has this to say with reference to castor beans: "The oil which is made from this beau has been found to be the only lubricant that under all conditions meets the needs of the airplane service Iand the beans are to be raised for the government for this purpose. It is thus seen that the farmers are now af forded one opportunity of doing sonm thing active to help win the war and lick the kaiser. In addition to this. however, the terms of the contract are most attractive from the standpoint of profit. "The contract provides that the gov ernment will supply the seed by April 20 to be paid for when the crop Is har vested and at a cost not exceeding $1 per acre, but it is estimated that the actual cost will be approxinately 60 cents per acre for the seed. Any land that will grow corn or cotton will grow castor beans. They are planted like Corn and require but little cultiva tion. The yield in this section Is esti mated will be around 40 bushels per acre, which by the terms of the cott tract, the government will take at $3 per bushel of 4i p0ou1(d5, sacked and delivered at the nearest railroad sta tion. "The beaus ripen and may be har I vested in about 100 days from pla! big. As the spikes are pulled from the bush they may be laid out on 'he barn floor where they will pop open and thresh themselves, but if they should not thresh themselves they may be threshed by placing the burs in a sheet and whipped open with a brush. Full instructions for preparing the eed. planting, cultivating and harvest - ing are furnished along with the con tract. "Those interested may call on Mr. Arrowsmith. the Williamsburg food administrator, and get full partiiculars amid take a crop contract." S. C. Food Administrators.
