The family of L. C. Brenner of Gou-

bananas raised In (Jonx.ales. The fruit
Is fully ns large and well flavored as
that shipped In from more tropical
dimes and goes to show that Gonzales

brings forth fruit of Its kind yearly.

der the yoke of oppression, could
not always submit to being dominated
by a people who in everything except
thrift were her inferiors. The grand
and glorious Southland has emerged
from the Shadow of adversity and la
again making for herself the place
from which she was dethroned by the
misfortunes of the most stupendous
contest of modern times. The south
before the war held most of the
wealth of the Union. Her men were
the most chivalrous, her women the
most chaste and beautiful, and her
religion was the moet exalted of any
nation on earth. Her women are still
the moat chaste and beautiful, her
men are still the most brave and
chivalrous and added to this is some
what of the Yankee ihrewdness and
enterprise which is so characteristic
of the people north of the Mason and
Dixon line.
Our material prosperity haa vastly
Improved within the last decade. But
in order to place ourselves where we
were fifty years ago we must take ad-
wantage of the opportunity which is
presenting itself to us now. The key
to the situation is found in the pro
duct of which we of the south have
the monopoly. The whole world Is
clamoring for cotton and the loudest,
most blatant voice that Is heard Is
that of the Wall Street gambler. He
demands it in large quantities In or
der that he may manipulate the price
tor the purpose of filling his once
plethoric but now depleted purse.
Little cares he for the poor fanner
who toils day after day trying to make
make enough to satisfy the lien whicn
hangs over his crop for the supplies
which he is forced to purchase, and
without which it would be impossible
to make it. Little cares be for the
overworked and tired mother who,
day after day, toils to help the father
enough to satisfy the lieu which
and to perhaps send them to school
tor possibly three months of the year.
He cares for none of these things.
He is soulesg and heartless, he is
dead, utterly dead, to every tender
feeling which should animate the
heart of every man who is worthy of
the name. He ruthlessly and relent
lessly trades and traffics in the hearts
and soula of the people whom he op
presses, and he should be driven out
like the Ishmael that he is, and fore-
«d V> wander over the face of the
earth, shunned by every man and wo
man whom he may chance to meet.
If every farmer who Is able to do
So will hold his cotton off the market
In a short time you will see this same
Wall Street gambler begging like a
whipped and hungry cur to let him
have the cotton, not at his price but
*jonn. Yon may dictate to this gen
the price which he will have

Says Home-Msds Mixture is Easily
Prepared, and Cures Weak Kid
neys ang Bladder.
Here is a simple home-made mix
ture as given by an eminent authority
of Kidney diseases, who makes the
statement in a New York daily news
paper, that it will relieve almost any
case of Kidney trouble if taken be
fore the stage of Bright's disease. He
states that such symptoms as lame
back, pain In the sde, frequent desire
to urinate, especially at night; pain
ful and discolored urination, are read
ily overcome. Here is the receipe;
try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take a teasoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here In town
Is authority that these ingredients
are all harmless and easily mixed
home by shaking well in a bottle.
This mixture has a peculiar healing
and soothing effect upon the entire
Kidney and Urinary structure, and
often overcomes the worst forms of
Rheumatism in Just a little while.
This mixture is said to remove all
blood disorders and cure the Rheu
matism hy forcing the Kidneys to
filter and strain from the blood and
system all uric acid and foul, decom
posed waste matter, which cause these
afflictions. Try it if you aren’t well.
Save the prescription.

Dear Sir: Mrs S C Ashe's house
in Yorkville, 8 C, was painted De-
voe 21 years ago and hasn’t been
painted since; it is a handsome house
and the paint was in good condition
when we were there three years ago.
Do we therefore say that Devoe
wears 21 years in South Carolina?
No; on the sandy coast, where the
sun is hot and the flying sand cuts
the bark off trees, Devoe is the only
paint that wears more than one year.
Iax-alkies differ; Devoe doesn’t dif
fer. It is the paint that takes least
gallons to cover a Job and makes least
cost and wears longest; how long de
pends on sun wind sand etc.
Yours truly ^
