AND REMEMBER THEY'RE "BUII/T FOR SERVICE J. D. CULBERTSON Madden, S. C. Don't Suffer! "I had been troubled, a little, for nearly 7 years," writes Mrs. L. Flncher, in a letter from Peavy, Ala., "but I was not taken down, until March, when I went to bed and had to have a doctor. He did all he could for me, but I got no better. I hurt all over, and I could not rest At last, I tried Cardui, and soon I began to improve. Now I am in very good health, and able to do all my housework." The Woman'sT?riic You may wonder why Cardui is so successful, after other remedies have failed. The answer is that Cardui is successful, because it is composed of scientific ingredients, that act curatively on the womanly system. It Is a medicine for women, and for women only. It builds, strengthens, and restores weak and ailing women, to health and happiness. If you suffer like Mrs. Fincher did, take Cardui. It will surely do for you, what it did for her.

Kershaw Chapter, U. D. C. There Is no section of all our land so full of romance and sentiment as the "Land of Dixie", and the story of the Old South, the South before the war, is always delightfully reminiscent and sweet to every southern heart. The pride of its people, the varied comedy and tragedy of its social life; its peculiar and interesting customs; its old slave taleB and folklore, their songs in the sugar cane and cotton fields, and their merry-making by moonlight and torch light in the "big house" yard; the short gay winters; the ld*ng dreary summers, with leaf clad forests and verdant fields and flowers in wild profusion, its cattle grazing in open field and In cane-bush es; the home life of the old planter and gentleman with his family pride, his host of friends, bis gun, his hors es and bis hounds for pastimes; the sweet femininity, the far-famed beau ty, the virtue, the soft voices, the gentle manner of the cleaving, depend ent southern women, all these and scores of other strange and pleasing conditions made the Old South the land of romance nad cong. Life was broad and ample, generous and tine-spirited. It was a rural life, the towns and villages of the New I England settlements being replaced I in the southern colonies by large plan tations, on which the families of the planters lived in patriachal state, sur rounded by their multitude of happy and contented dependents. As they grew rich from the sale of tobacco in Virginia, or of rice father south, the planters built themselves comfort able mansions, handsomely furnished and decorated. Within wero broad stairways, rising out of amide halls which were often adorned with tro phies of the chase. The richest and most ornamental woods were used in the interior decorations, the mantels and wainscoting being frequently rich ly carved mahogany, while solid oak and mahogany supplied the material for chairs and tables. The sideboards were heaped with glittering gold and silver plates. These stately mansions were fronted by cool porches, screen ed from the summer heat by trellises of dowering vines, while the sur rounding grounds were richly adorn ed with beds of fairest flowers. Cach mansion had its numerous household of negro servants, whose dusky faces were to be seen everywhere about the house and Its surroundings. The field hands dwelt in separate quarters, each cabin having its garden and poultry yard. There was abundant work to do, for every estate was in its way a separate industrial community, most of the articles needed being made by slave artisans on the estate itself, but there were plenty of bands to do the 'work, so that it was rare for any one to l)e pushed beyond bis powers. In fact, the system was one of modern patrlachism, and the association more that of a great family than of task-master and slave. No doubt, in those old days, content, and comfort were the prevailing elements. The great planters lived llko lords of the manor, keeping stables of fine horses and packs of hunting dogs, riding and hunting being favorite modes of pass ing the time. In going to church, flr visiting neighboring planters, the elaborately grand coach, drawn by C I stately horses, was brought into ser vice and with its dusky drive: and uniformed outriders made a showy display. Never was there more gen orous hospitality. VihUors wero wel comed with the utmost warmth. An old-fashioned southern plantation in fact, presented a type of domesticity of which few traces remain and which was one of the purest, sweetest, and most agreeable types of social life ever known. While the owner of the estate was, in fact, as well as in name, the head of the family, yet there has never been a home in which the wife was so important and so dominant, for there cannot be a hbine in which the domestic part was so important. Upon her fell the duty of supervising the household, its occupants, and its affairs, and of superintending the con duct and care of the negro women and chlldrcp. She was mistress in the true senso of that word, for in her do main her word waa law of tho bouse and of tho "quarters." In these households the Bible was the ordinary text-booh. Family wor ship was conducted regularly, and without regard to the personal piety of the head of the family. It was one of the inherited customs to ho kept up and made a part of the dally life of the house. The children had no menial duties to perform; but were reared with a certain dislike land contempt tfVor menial labor, because it was perform ed for them by slaves. In every house hold, however, they were trained from their earliest childhood in such labors : and accomplishments as jverc common to the country, and ?were supposed to bo needed by those who were to be masters and mistresses of such es tablishments. The boys became su perb horsemen, excellent shots, skil ful sportsmen and admirable farmers from their boyhood. The girls early became notable housewives, experts with the needle and splendid horse women. Thus families resided on their farms, and to a certain degree isolated from their neighbors, and from this grew a certain Intensity, of family af fection and of family pride which gave to the members of the family the aid and defense of all tho clan, which re sembled Scotch clnnishness. A brilliant picture of tho Idyllic scenes amid which these planters and farmers passed their lives is given by Dr. Hagby's "Old Virginia Gentleman". The vision of beauty and plenty pre sented us is certainly a highly allur ing one. lie says: "A scone not of en chantment, though contact made it of ten seem so, met tho eye. Wide, very wide fields of waving grain, billowy seas of green or gold, as the season chanced to be, over which the scud ding shadows chased and played, glad dened the heart With wealth far spread. Upon lowlands level as the lloor the plumed and tasseled corn stood tall and dense, rank behind rank in military alignment, an army fresh and strong. The rich, dark Boil of the gently swelling kerolls could scarcely be seen under the broad-lap ping leaves of the mottled tobacco. The hills were carpeted with clover. Beneath the tree-clumps fat cattle chewed the cud, or peaceful sheep re posed, grateful for the shade In the midst of this plenty, half hidden in foliage over which graceful shafts of the Lombardy poplar towered, with its bounteous garden, and its orchards, heavy with frlut near at hand, peered the old mansion, white or dusky red, or wellow gray by the storm and shine of years. Seen by the tired horseman halting at the woodland's edge, this picture steeped in the intense quiver ing, summer moonlight, filled the soul with unspeakable emotions of beau ty, tenderness, peace, home." Laura A. Harksdale. MAKES RHEUMATIC PAINS DISAPPEAR New Treatment Drives Out Rheumatism; Pain Stops, Soreness Disappears and Stiff Joints Are Limbered.
