Half a loaf may be better than
I I nothing, but in the estimation
of the people of Charleston a Crum
is worse than no bread.
Senator Tillman used his pitchfork
with characterislic vigor during
his- wit to Charleston last week,
MM?, the people laughed and applauded
as if it were a delightful
sensation to be impaled upon the
. prongs of the Tillman pitchfork.
Children are hothing if not imitaItlwe.
A short time ago in Spartaubnrg
county a teacher shot and
killed one of his pupils, and last
week in the nearby county of Anderson
it was the pupil who shot
his teacher and nearly succeeded in
taking his life. If it become the
cx* custom for teachers and pupils to
If 8* gunning for one another \ the
cause of education will be badly
handicapped.
The Hampton Memorial Commission
met in Colnmbia last week and
adopted a plan for raising the
_ amount necessary to supplement the
appropriation made by the Legislattnre
for a suitable memorial to Gen
Hampton. This plan is to reqnest
the Confederate camps in each
county to recommend five suitable
persons as a county committee to
collect funds and forward them to
the central committee at Columbia.
We hope that there will be no del ly
r difficulty in securing the amount
needed (about $9,000), and, above
all, we should like to see a hand\
some subscription sent in from
; i Williamsburg connty. *

A considerable number of
names of persons in arrears to
' The Record are being dropped
from the list'. This is no
reflection upon them, it may
be , that they are perfectly
good for their debts and intend
to pay them,-'but the
RECORD cannot afford to continue
the paper to those who
are in arrears and who have
paid nothing lately and have
nothing about Davine.
P Subscriptions are payable in
advance. Some of the names
to be dropped are of persons
who subscribed within the
past six months, but whojiave
forgotten to pay. Of course
/Jhe Record will be glad
to have these subscribers,
all of them, to pay up. and to
continue the paper to them.
It will be continued even to
those who give us reason to
believe that they intend to
pay next fall. Those who get
the paper, pay nothing and
say nothing, neeeji-nof be offended
when tfie^kper stops.

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood.
All the blood In your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they filter
out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheumatism
come from excess
of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney troub'e.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
fivftr-wnrkinc in nnmnincr thi^k kMr.*u_
~ ? ? o r r'"b
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their beginning
in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits i
by all druggists in fiftycent
and one-dollar slzes.
You may have a
sample bottle by mail Home of s?ramp-iu>oc
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton. N. Y.
Don't make any mistake, lnit. re
member the name, Swa inn-Root, I)r
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the addre**,
