Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the tK'oa in your body passes through your kidneys or.oe 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 blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney ‘rouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, nnd makes one feel as though 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. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty- cent and one-dollar siz es. You may have a sample bcttle by mail free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer i & Co., Binghamton. N. Y. Don’t make any mistake, but re member the name, Swamp-Root, Dr Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, and the ad dress, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle. CROP BULLETIN. Home of Swamp-Root.

April 17th, averaged slightly cooler than usual, but the de partures from normal were small un til the Ifith, when the temperature fell rapidly to the morning of the 17th, when it was below freezing over the central and western parts of the State, with killing frosts as far eastward as Williamsburg county and heavy frosts along the coast. There are as yet no reports available as to the extent and severity of the damage caused by the frost, except in the vicinity of Colum bia. where practically all garden truck, corn and other young crops were killed. The damage was likely more serious to the westward where the temperature was lower. There are no reports available as to the effects of the frost on fruit, which up to this time was in a very promising condi tion except in parts of the extreme northwestern counties, where some was killed by the frost of the 7th. The precipitation was general during the week, and was oxcessise in por tions of the central, western and ex treme northeastern counties. Scat tered localities had hail on the 9th and 13th. The rainfall ranged from loss than one to over four inches, greatly delaying planting operations in the western half of the State and parts of the eastern. As a rule the rainfall was needed and proved bene ficial to grain crops, gardens and truck. Corn planting w r as continued over the western counties, but made slow progress. In the eastern counties re planting is under way, and most of the early corn is up to from fair to good stands, and some has received its first cultivation. Cut w r orms did much damage in places. Preparation of lands for cotton is nearly finished over the eastern coun ties, and made some progress over the western ones. Planting is nearing completion in a few localities, but generally is less than half finished and was delayed by the wet soil in the central and western counties. Some cotton is up to stands. In the greaer portion ofihe State it is prob able that practically all cotton and corn that is up will need to be re planted owin gto the frost. The wheat and oats crops made marked improvement in appearance and growth during the week, especial ly spring oats, that were greatly ben efited by the rains. Some tobacco has been transplanted in Marion county. The acreage to be planted to tobacco will he somewhat larger than last year. Rice planting is nearly finished in the Colleton district, and the conditions for planting are fa vorable in the Georgetown district. Truck was doing well, with heavy shipments of beans, peas, radishes and strawberries under way. It is be lieved that, truck was materially dam aged in districts somewhat remote from the coast, but the amount of in jury cannot be stated in this week’s bulletin, and may prove to have been slight. When I Had Money I Had Friends. (A tramp's story.) When I had money I had friends, Yes, had them by the score, (A tramp said) but when money ends Friends close ’gainst you the door. While you your purse will open wide, And in fine garments dress, A throng wil gather at your Ride And friendship deep confess. As long as you your friends can toast, No matter what you do, Of your acquaintance they will boast And say nice things of you. They deem you talented and bright, As they about you flit, And seem to take a great delight In laughing at your wit. But let reverses to you come, And your last dollar fade. And suddenly the friends are dumb Who compliments once paid. The hand it was your wont to clasp Whene’er you used to meet, Somehow grows palsied in its grasp When you meet on the street. The wit and wisdom you once had. And which they used to own, Has greatly changed from good to bad And with your dollars flown. When I had money I had friends, When none how soon they flew; With this my short, sad story ends; Base hypocrites, adieu! MURRAY IRON MIXTURE Now is the time to take a spring tonic.

(Exchange.) A truthful soul, a loving man. Full of affection for its kind, A spirit firm, erect and free, That never basely bonds a knee; That will not hear a featherweight Of slavery’s chain for small or great; That truly speaks from God within, That never makes a league with sin; That snaps the fetters despots make, i And loves the truth for its own sake; That worships God and Him alone, And bows no more than at His throne, And trembles at no tryant’s nod— A soul that fears no one but God, And thus can smile at curse or ban— This is the soul that makes a man!
