THEIR HEALTH RESTORED

to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vsgotablo Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham’s Advlos.
A devoted mother seems to listen to
every call of duty excepting 1 the su-
[ >reme one that tells her to guard her
lealth, and before she realizes it some
derangement of the female organs has
manifested itself, and nervousness and
Irritability take the place of happi
ness and amiability.
PUBLIC ROADS.
CROP BULLETIN.
Now is the time to
come to us for Chil
dren’s school requis
ites, Tablets, Pens,
Pencils, and Eras
ers, and Combina-
t i o n boxes and
everything the boy
or girl needs to com
plete the school bag.
We have also a com
plete line of dainty
note paper in boxes
or by the pound
with envel-
opes to match for
ladies’ use, all tints,
plain or hemstitch
ed. The mainstay
of social correspon
dence. Come in and
look through our
line. It’s only a
pleasure to show
what we have.
Tired, nervous and irritable, the
mother is unfit to care for her chil
dren, and her condition ruins the child’*
disposition and reacts upon herself.
The mother should not be blamed, as
she no doubt is suffering with back
ache, headache, bearing-down pains or
displacement, making life a burden.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the unfailing cure for this
condition. It strengthens the female
organs and permanently cures all dis
placements and irregularities.
Such testimony as the following
should convince women of its value:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
“ I want to tell you how much good Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done me.
I suffered for eight years with ovarian
troubles. I was nervous, tired and ir-
Hills Should Be Cut Down and Roads
Made Level,
Mr. Editor:—I thought of saying a
few things about tho good of temper
ance or prohibition; but that victory
is already won. So I will turn to the
next great problem that ought to in
terest good citizens In Cherokee coun
ty—that is good roads. I never like
to enter into public discussion; I am
always too glad to listen to wiser
counsel. I have read with much inter-
est what has been said on good roads,
but do not agree with them all. I do
not think the public roads ought to be
macadamized as they are now: but I
think the first thing that ought to be
done is to first put all the principal
roads on a good grade, not to exceed
over a foot to the rod, then macada
mize the low or boggy places, or as
much as the county is able to bear,
but not the steep hills. It does not
show any ’'regress, and we will still
be running in the same old ruts of
seventy-five or a hundred years ago.
It would do then, but it won’t do now;
for then the people worked oxen.
They had no cotton to haul to market,
no wood to haul, no guano, no furni
ture to bring from town, no moving of
people from factory to factory. They
used mostly ox carts and sleds then,
and could go over the steep hills.
They had scarcely any buggies, no im-
prpved wagons,, no steam engines to
travel over the road: and the automo
bile had never been heard of in that
age.
But think of the progress of today.
The country is being filled up with
every kind of improved machinery;
think of the factories, oil mills, saw
mills, brick yards, cotton gins and of
the thousands of bales of cotton that
must go to market every year. Think
of the rural malls that come to your
door every day; of the women and
children going to town, going to
school, going to church, then don’t you
agree with me to put the public roads
on a good grade? Putting the roads on
i good grade will not cost the county
much labor, only the hills and steep
I places will be to change; and when
I that is done, it will not take more than
| half tho labor to keep them up. As
! proof of this, only ask the old road
overseers and county commissioners
ritabK and it did not seem as though I could , , . will asree wit h me that nino-
rtand it any longer, as I had five children to ' • . ,, \ i,. no
care for. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable s ?t all the road work is don
Compound was recommended and it has en- I °u the hills, and vet the hills are al-
tirely cured me. I cannot thank you enough
for your letter of advice and for what Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done
for me.—Mrs. Ph. Hoffman, 100 Himrod
Street. Brooklyn, N. Y.”

ways bad. When the road.is level, or
on a good grade, sometimes it. needs
no work in years: and no one ever saw
a washout on a level road, hut it’s
always on the hill where the gully cuts
the road in two. The accidents that
happen, too, generally occur on the
hills.
Take, for example, the road from
Gaffney to Cowpens by the way of
Thickety where, on the steep hills, the
grade is over three feet to the rod.
This road can he put on a good grade,
and when it. is done, w’here a mule
can now pull two hales of cotton, he
can then pull three. The hill is the
cause of most all balky horses, for
most any horse will pull on a level
or good graded road. So, by all moans,
do not macadamize the steep hillsides;
for, if we do, our great grandchildren
i will still he climbing over those same
] hills. Progress has entered into every
! other industry, so '•>, it cr\ r the pub-
I lie road system, also where it is more
needed than anywhere else, to the
good of the general public; then will
Cherokee set her sister counties a
gcxjd example, as she did when she de
cided for prohibition.

Report of Condition of Crop* Through
out the State.
Columbia, Sept. 19.—The moan tem
perature for the week ending Mon
day, September 18th, was slightly be
low normal, due to very cool weather
early in the week and warm at its
close. Th« extremes of temperature
were a maximum of % degrees at
BlackviUe on the 12th, and a maxi
mum of 57 degrees at Cheraw on the
15th. These was slightly less than
the normal amount of bright sunshipe
over the southern and eastern coun
ties and about normal amount in the
central and western counties.
There were numerous showers over
the eastern and southern counties,
and very little rain, in many places
none—over the western ones. Exces
sive rainfall occurred in Florence and
Darlington counties, in the latter
there were 8 inches recorded in 24
hours. Lands were washed, streams
flooded and bridges carried away and
crops were seriously damaged on up
lands as well as low lands. Generally
the week’s precipitation was needed
and proved beneficial. Over the wes
tern an northern counties the ground
is very dry and late crops are suffer
ing for moisture. Streams and wells
and becoming low, and it is too dry
for fall plowing and for seeding oats.
Frequent showers interrupted farm
work along the coast and to a lesser
degree in a few interior southern
counties, while the weather was fa
vorable for continuous work over the
greater portion of the State.
There was a slight deterioration in
the condition of cotton due, mainly,
to premature opening caused by rust
and drought. On sandy lands the
crop is nearly all open and most of
it picked, while over the State gener
ally it is opening fast. Growth and
fruitage have stopped, but this is
immaterial, as what fruitage would be
taken on after this time would not
mature. Caterpillars have appeared
in Berkeley county on cotton, which
is the only report of damage by in
sects this week.
Late corn is in need of rain. There
is a slight, deterioration of minor
crops, due to want of moisture, over
tihe western parts and a slight im
provement in the eastern portions.
Fall truck has improved, and recent
ly planted seeds are germinating well.
Rice harvest made good progress.
Much hay and other forage was saved
in prime condition.
It is only after some people are
planted under six feet of earth that
they cease to say “I told you so.”

The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier made two very in-j
’erosting statements in Monday’s pa
per. He stated that a want advertise
ment appeared a day or two ago for
a competent bookkeeper, but it was
distinctly stated that a cigarette
fiend or one who indulged in intoxi
cants was not wanted. Again that
Governor Heyward was asked to rec
ommend an expert accountant not
long since, and the main requirement
was that he was not addicted to
drink. We wish to emphasize these
things. The time is coming when no
responsible persons will give employ
ment vo persons who are drinkers.
The sober young man is to he more
truly than ever ihe man to fill any
position carrying with it any degree
of responsibility. The action of tho
governor of Indiana not long since in
refusing to appoint men who drank to
any nosit ions within his gift was com
mendable. These facts ought to be
pondered by all right-thinking people.

A r o business can possibly be ^
successful that is not adver- T
♦ Used. 4
This is a sweeping statement, ^
but it is true. There are aome T
merchants in this community 7
whose experience apparently 7
contradicts the statement. ^
The contradiction, however, j
is only apparent. If they have ft
attained any degree of success ^
they have advertised. They have p
let people know what they had to ^
sell, what they were here for and ^
what they proposed to do. Just i
in proportion to the thorough- T
ness with which they have done T
this and met the conditions of 9
their competitors they have suc
ceeded.
If they have used the newspa
pers they have worked with the 4
best tools so far as getting pub- k
) licity is concerned. If they have ^
worked without the newspapers ^
they have been handicapped and |
have not attained the highest
possible measure of success.
A fertile seed planted in fertile
ground, carefully watered, will thrive
and bear fruit.
A properly organized business,
in any inhabited place, well advertised
will succeed. The law of
growth is as certain and inexorable in
one case as the other.
