Women Well rh Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
' or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
1 afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin-
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis-
' erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists, in fifty-
cent and one dollar
sizes. You may have a
sample bottle by mail
free, also pamphlet tell
ing all about it, including many of the
thousands of testimonial letters received
from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y., be sure and
mention this paper.

On Sunday last Mrs. Polly Haris,
of Earle Station, tendered a dinner at
ier home to her numerous relatives
and friends, the occasion being the
seventy-seventh anniversary of her
>irthday.
About four hundred people gather
ed at her hospitable home on that
day to pay their respects to their
aged relative and friend, and inci
dentally to get something good to
eat (or vice versa), and others would
lave gone, but were kept away by
;he exceedingly bad weather.
Shelby was well represented In the
assemblage; others from Blacksburg
and Grover were there, and some
went from this place, among the
number being Mr. Bob Sbuford, of
the photograph gallery, to whom we
are indebted for the particulars of
ibe very pleasant affair.
The dinner was a sumptuous one
and had to be spread in a large out
building to accommodate the large
crowd of guests. Despite the wet
and gloomy weather the time was de
lightfully spent and the dinner
greatly enjoyed by every one present.

Recent Rains Deatroy Hridgea and Rail
road Treutlen.
The recent heavy rains have done
great damage in this section of the
country. Bridges have been destroy
ed, railroad trestles swept away,
farm lands flooded and havoc played
with things in general.
This time the great Southern rail
way has suffered considerably, both
on its main line and some of its
branches. Part of their bridge over
Catawba river is gone and traffic on
the line is demoralized. The north
bound vestibule Wednesday after
noon passed over the river in safety,
but No. 34, which immediately fol
lows it, came back yesterday morn
ing with reversed engine, it having
been unable to go through on account
of a part of the Catawba bridge being
down
We received no mail here until ten
or eleven o’clock yeaterday morning
when a special train from the south
cams in. Mail from the north came
In yesterday afternoon by the way o
Spartanburg.
A small trestle of the S. C. & G. E
between this place and Blacksburg
was also washed away.
The Pacolet and Clifton cotton
mills were forced to shot down on ac
count of high water and conaiderable
damage was done to mill property.
Reports hat® come in from all
quarters and the destruction seeds
to have been general throughout this
section of the country.
A force of hands was sent st once
to the Catawba railroad bridge and it
is thought that trains will probably
be able to get through this afternoon
A Saturday Outing.
Mrs. Jack Humphries and daught
ers, I. G. Sarratt and son Carl, and
a good crowd of young folks from the
city went down on Broad river Sat
urday and spent the day in jolly
recreation. Some passed the time in
fishing, others roamed about at wil
gathering wild tiowera and admiring
the scenery, and all gathered for din
ner at.Buckeye spring, on Mr. Sar
ratt’s place near the river, where
sumptuous repast was spread for the
hungry picnicera whose appetites
had beeo whetted by the exercises •
the morning.
The proverbial "fisherman’s luck’
attended those who sought to Inveit 1
some of the most unwary of the fin
ny tribe into offering themselves up
as a sacrifice to appease the appetites
of (be pleasure seekers, and so that
meat was made conspicuous by its
absence from the bill of fare that bad
been arranged for the occasion
Of coune it was great fun to the
young folks to spend a day in the
country, and their enjoyment gave
pleasure to the older onei.

Fumigators
The value of Sulphur fumiga
tion in contagious diseases is
too well understood by everyone
to require much comment at
this time. However, it is not
easy to ignite ordinary Sulphur
or Brimstone, or to maintain its
combustion.
Sulphur Fumigators, eacli
containing enough to disinfect
an ordinary room, are easily
ignited and will continue to
burn until consumed. They are
especially adapted for the disin
fection of rooms in which there
have been cases of Typhoid,
Scarlet Fever, Diptheria, etc.
It is not a had idea to use the
above as a preventative of con
tagious diseases. They are very
cheap to use, and an ounce of
prevention is often worth more
than a pound of cure. We’ll
gladly explain further in regard
to the use of them if you’ll give
us a chance.
