The Milk ?n the Cocoanut."
"Much light-is thrown on the real
Motive of Georgetown in her annual
Ight in the Legislature against all
sbad bills by the Georgetown correspondence
in the State, written after
? the news that iMr Cause's shad bill
had beeu continued until next
session.
gb It also accounts for the 'up-river'
y people getting no shad, except w hat
they buy at a high price form the
P? fivoigetown dealers,
js* The Georgetown correspondence
t-' writes: "The news that the shad bill
had been continued until next
fe session was received with joy by the
fish dealers today. This action
p . means about $10,000 will be added
to Georgetown's capital during the i
fir la it any wonder, Mr Editor, that
we people up the river can't catch
any fish. The fishermen here
at Monzous do not catch fish enough
to pay them for thagv trouble. I
hare known men to edgaf here from
15 or 20 miles and not be able to get
f\ a fish, because there was none caugh t.
' Before Georgetown monopolized the
? fish trade, as they have, we used to
get plenty of shad here. But, for
the i*st few years we get very few.
The people living on the rivers are
not the only ones that are injured by
f1 , the Georgetown dealers taking out
r all the fish, bat people all over the
State. We are not opposed to j
. Georgetown's having a shaie of the
& , fish, but we do object to her taking
them all. We appreciate Mr Bass'
1 effort to give us relief and hope that
he will renew his fight at the next
session and that he may be succeas
fui: 1 think it the duty of the peop
; pie of S. C., and especially of those
'Q.- who are interested in a shad bill to
S& .iei the Legislature kuow what they
want. I hope that at the next
session of the Legislature the members
will know what the people
want, and that they will give us
relief. We would like to hear from
F wi others. llespectfully.

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages
and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
tand cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kidneys
are out of order
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it Is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kidneys.
If the child urinates
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 afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
sten 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 miserable
with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
