Women as Weil as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon ttie mind, dis- aiurages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order k ' or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon H for a chil i to be born afflicted with weak kid* * neys. If the child urin* ales 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 af.licted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the fits* 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 fif.y- •ent and one dcllar izes.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. Wilkinsvllle, Oct. 30.—Some people can’t stand a dog in the house. Tp such we recommend "Aunt Betsy” McCulloch’s plan to get rid of them: Mr. Ib'n McCulloch tells how his mother managed it. Her son “Add” had a dog which he thought the world of, but he was a bad one for the house. One night “Aunt Betsy” club bed it with a piece of stove wood and “Add” didn’t like it much and told his mother to hit him next time instead of the dog. "Aunt Betsy" said nothing, but it wasn’t long be fore the dog came back and took his position peglde ’\\dd" and was warming himself by the fire. “Aunt Betsy” kept on knitting but noticed the dog all the same. Every now and then she threw ti piece of pine in the fire to make a light. The dog kept his position and "Add” had per haps forgotten what h ' told his moth er. Finally “Aunt Betsy” picked tip another piece of pine but instead of throwing it in the fire gave “Add” a rap on the side of his head witli it. “Add” rose, gathered; a chair and broke it over the Jog and sent him howling out of the house. “Add” u aid he couldn’t afford to take such a licit' as that merelv for the dog’s comfort. The dog didn’t bother the house anv more after that. W. H. Sanders was at Kelton one day when one of his neighbors bought a fine cabbage head. Bill said to him: "Dan, do you know how to cook that cabbage so as to make it eat good?” Dan said, "I don’t know.” Well,” said Bill, ‘Til tell you Go ’■ack and get you a piece of good fat bacon about four inches square and put with it and cook till its well done and you’ll see what a wonderful difference it makes over the com non wav of cooking cabbage.” Once Bill and his wife had laid out a trip to be gone a few days, lie said to "Millis” Little that he would he glad for him to look after his things while they were gone as he didn't care to leave th in exposed. “.Millis” told him lie would do so \ith pleasure. Bill told him the lock hi his smoke house was bad and he feared somebody would break in and “teal his meat and if it was not troubling him too much he would be glad for him to bring his wagon over next morning and haul it home and take care of it if he had room in his (Millis ) smoli-e house. Bill told “Millis” he didn’t think '"’there would he over one wagon load of it. “Well, how much have von got?” asked “Millis.” “I suppose I have two and a half >r three pounds," sai.l Mi 1 On one occasion Col. I. G. McKis- sick was employed by a fellow to irosecute a negro under somewhat doubtful circumstances for killing ills day. The day was set for trial; the hirv empanneled and the witn esses ex aniined and Col. McKissick proceeded with his argument telling the jury about the value and faithfulness of dog—how he protected his master and his property against murderers, thieves, robbers, etc., ond finally con cluded his argument by saying. “Gentlemen of the jury, I think I know how to appreciate the loss and feeling of my client—the prosecutor in this case. I had a dog once who was faithful to me. During 'he dark hours of night when my family and 1 were asleep and unconscious of any danger, that dog guarded the premises as only a faithful sentinel and true soldier would discharge his duty. One night my dog disappeared, and to this day I have never known what became of him. Bu.t. gentle men of the jurv that’s not all of it: what do you suppose I found the next morning after the disappearance of my dog—my smokehouse was wide open and not a bite of meat left in it. The tale is unnecessary for me to tell.” Here the Colonel sa down, wiping the pi spiration from his face while the trial justice turned thfc case over to the jury for its verdict In ess time than it takes to tell it he jury returned the verdict—guilty. \fterwards someone wanted to know something more of Col. McKissick about his loss, when he told th«'m there was no meat in the smokehouse the night before, but he didn’t think it necessar/ to teM it to the court and jury. At one time Bam Stokes was de fending a darkey for breaking Into somebody’s house and stealing his meat. The case w'as brought up for trial before some of the circuit judg es. Everybody knew that the fellow was guilty—the circumstances and evidence went to prove it. and he was ready to plead guilty, but Sam would not let him. The jury had nothing to do but write the verdict “guilty,” and as :he fellow was being taken to jai) he broke out in a laugh and one of the bystanders asked him what he was laughing at. ‘T’se laughing at Mr. Stokes trying to make lat jury believe I didn’t steal dat meat when dey knowed it as well as he did.” Frank Millwood said that during his argument Sam spit all over Bill Sinkl ;r. one of the jurymen. We are told upon good authority, as we consider it. that I’nlted States Senator George F. Hoar, of Massa chusetts, played a good trick- on a prominent member of that body who was frequently on committee work with him. It was this: The Senator alluded to was in the habit of using profanity oecasional y, even while on his senatorial duties, and George Hoar got tired of it and concluded to administer a gent’e rebuke. So one morning when the committee met in its room for the transaction of bus iness, Senator Hoar said: "Now. gen tlemen. before we begin business I suggest that we all presume ourselves to be damned so it will not be nec essary to reli to that in considering the bills upon which we are to r>ass.” The senator ook th* hint and that was the las* -f his annoying Senator Hoar with his profanity. Mr. W. R. Walker’s card should receive the attention an:] considera tion of Cherokee farmers, and they will do well (or much better than many of them are doing) to take his advice. His stock farm has been fre quently mentioned in our letters and it is there to show' for its-If. Mr. Walker is not one of those meg who farm without anv practical knowledge of the subject of which they write so bountifully and enthusiastically. There is nothing so cheap and costs so littl as good advice, except it be good hMimers. Ever ft'ncv* Mr, Walker started his stock farm ir has been a matter of speculation among his neighbors, many of \ horn could see ‘‘no money in it.” and some evog pre dicted that it, wott’d break him up feeding at the expense of from $12..lO to $17.00 a day. It’s a big tiling. i:'s true, but “Will'' Walker knows his own business and can tell when Ik* is on the losing side of the ouestion. When it doesn't pav ' * will be the first man to find that out. Mrs. .1 L. S. has been quite unwell for several da vs with a rheumatic ‘T ;on. which has given her a good deal of trouble. But she has such DR. BOUCHELLE Dr. L. B. Bouchelle of Thomasville, Ga., a physician well known in the South, is very enthusiastic over the cod liver oil preparation Vinol. He says: I have ustd Vinol in my fam ily and In r, v general practice with the most satisf u-tory results. It*is exceeding!v b'-neficial to those afilict- ed with bronchial or pulmonary dis eases and to create strength.” The reason Vinol Is so far superior to old fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, Is because it is a real cod liver preparation from which all the useless oil has been eliminated and i tonic iron added. We ask every weak, thin, run- ; dowm, nervous and aged person In town, and all those suffering from chronic colds, coughs and weak lungs, to try Vinol on our guarantee. The Gaffney D 'i>r Co.

Listop preached at Salem last Sabbath and Saturday night be fore. Quite an excitement was raised in the Sarratt section last Saturday by a r port that a negro had entered the home of Mr. Office Inman. Crowds of men rushed to the scene but the scoundrel made good his escape be fore they got there. Had he b< .n caught there is no telling how he would have been dealt with. As it turned out no damage was done that we know of. There is still a good deal of sick ness among our people, but none se rious that we know of. The “drop-off’ in the price of cot ton will stop its rushing to market. Our people are not anxious to se 1 on j a d“dining maiket and they generally I think eleven cents is little enough I And we agree with them. Immediately gfter the war we had | in this country what was known as the “oath of allegiance,” which i- wtt sai-’ those who had taken a nart in the so-called rebellion must take in order to restore their citizenship. In official circles this was known as the “dynasty oath." Old Mr. Estes could not remember the 'atter name and didn’t have mm .i opinion of it any way, so he called it the "dam-nasty” oath. The ginners’ report, which is al leged caused th dtopoff in the price of cotton last week, is perhaps not well understood by those who manipu late the price of toe staple. farmers have had it ginn d up to keep ir from be Ping.
