The Greenville Dlaily Piedmont has been bemoaning the fact wh!ich it "had to adn it" that tne ewspa pers haven't the iniltllee that they had back in the good old days. 'T'his may or may not be true, but, if it is true, it is either because of a retrogression in the inen tal capacity of the press on the one side or a retrogression or ilnprove ment in the mentality of the public on the other hand. The editors of today have as high ideals as the editors of the past, unless human nature has changed, and the extent of their influ ence cannot be bounded except by their ability to transplanit their ideals In others. The Piedmont undertook to "cad a lesson to its contemlporaries, which might better have been read at a meeting of newspaper men. Ti . question has already received conaI - erable attention in other editoria; bol umns, so it will not be entirelyiout of place to point out a growing tendency to confuse the editorial t id news col umns. If there is any nie thing that will cause newspaper/to lose the con fidence of their rid(ers it will be a conviction on the/ part of the readers that the editors are slipping up1 on their "blind side", so to speak, and attempting to fool them. We see a good deal ttf tIhis confusion of editorial and neWs on the part of some news palers/land all of it (ithlless inm tentht pal, bult the ill etfeis are likely to r sulit. Jli the sam.

Laurens will have its first Chautauqua to open Friday afternoon. Iifty citizens have contracted to guarantee the expenses of it, which i'mounts to $1,750. These citizens were willing to make this guarantee because they felt that the Chautauqua would be beneficial to the city 111(1 county and, further, that other public-spirited citizens would give t-hem their support. When they signed the contract bringing the Chau itaurltua here they exhibited a faith in the citizenship of Laurens which we hope will be rewarded by the sale of tickets. In all probal)ility they believed that they wouldt. not sufl'er any financial loss, but. the fact that they aecepted the risk, and agreed to interest themselves in promoting the cause certainly entitles them to the thanks and co-operation of the commilunity. Laurens is just as appreciative of unselfish and patriotic work as any other city. so the gluaraiiiors have dotll)1ess already re ceived a measure of comntlidation. This in itself speaks well for the 'ommiiiiiuiity. but .jist at. this time whe.'n. the finances of the enterprise are causing somtie uneasiness, it is not out of place to suggest that earn est. co-operation on the part of a 'large portion of our citizenship is needed. The respoae to the I c'ket sale has niot been as spontaneous as the imnmeinsity and merit of the enterprise or the faith und public spirit of the guarlntlors jlstily. Th1e Advertiser ascribes this apparent I uke Wa rninie(s to one thing and one thing only, for we believe that., if the proper spirit is gotten into the sale of tickets and certain muisunder slantling., cleared up, the sale will go with raush and the success will he guaranteed. This one thing is they bhelimay hold that each guar aint.or will be held responsible fou, r'eertain number of tickets. Because ot' this erroneous impression, iany intendedi ticket purchasers have been holding hack to help..tA%'eir respective friends in case they have a large numiber of ticket y. thrown back on thenm. Whether or not this is a proper view to hae' laken under that misconception need not be (is cussed( here.

It shoulI not he necessary to detain the canvassers one miirute, as their time is valuible and the ,job is not a pleasant one at the best.. Indeed it would he a great encouragement and inspiration to them if they are sought out instead of being the seekers. Let it also be remembered that the desire of the ticket sellers will be for somebody to sell the tickets, regardless of who sells them. They do not want any one to wait and, we believe, they hope that no one will wait to buy from any particular teamni. It will be a satisfaction to them to know that the co-operatite enmlp)igni is lmlde a success, regardless of the credit. IHave the guarantors rightly .jiuiged tile spirit of this co mniaity ?

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condi tion of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis . of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are do ing their work properly, the other or gans cannot readily be brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Bright's ;Disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly. ten thousand deaths in one year, in the State of New York alone. Therefore, it is par ticularly necessary to pay more at tention to the health of these import ant organs. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. The mild and healing influence of this preparation, in most cases, is soon realized, according to sworn statements and verified testimony of those who have used the remedy. When your kidneys require atten tion, get Swamp-Root at once from any pharmacy. It is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes-50c and $1.00. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.
