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.

Report of Condition of Crops Through
out the State.
Columbia. April 18.—The week end
ing 8 A. M. 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!

For a Weak Digestion.
No medicine can replace food but
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets will help you to digest your
food. It is not the quantity of food
that gives strength and vigor to the
system, but the amount digested and
assimilated. If troubled with a weak
digestion, don’t fall to give these Tab
lets a trial. Thousands have been
benefited by their use. They only
cost a quarter. For sale by Chero
kee Drug Co.

them if they are allowed to guide Him.
What Makes a Man.
(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!
Won a Name and Fame.
OoWitt’s Little Ea r ".y Risers, the
fa ions little pills, have been made
famous by their certain yet harmless
an 1 gentle action upon the bowels
and liver. They have no equal for
biliousness, constipation, etc. They
do not weaken the stomach, gripe, or
make you feel sick. Once used al
ways preferred. They strengthen.

Both Necessary.
“Now. my dear children,” said an
archdeacon, “1 will ask you a few
questions in your catechism. Which
of you can tell me the two things
necessary in baptism? Quite right,
‘water.’ Water is one tiling, and
what is the other ’ What! Can none
of you think what else is necessary?
Well, little girl, what do you say?”
“Please, sir, a baby,” was the reply.
Concerning Tears.
(New York Times.)
Cut what you expect in half, sub
tract what you would like to have,
add nothing and multiply the result
by naught, and you get what you
get in this vale of tears. Expect to
do without the things you want most,
take what you can get and he satis
fied.
