SCENES OF BOYHOOD DAYS- WOUDERFUL

Editor County Record : I have *
had a pleasant trip to my birth- 3
place, the City by the Sea. How *
the old place has changed since my *
boyhood days! I had no one to accompany
me around so I went from ^
place to place by myself. Of course l-it
would have been of little interest J
to some of the young people to show 0
them around from the Battery to 1
Line street and from the marshes of
the Cooper to the Ashley river, the
places where I went to school, the 0
different creeks where I went swim- v
ming, the marshes where I hunted ^
the marsh hens' nest, the place where J1
the bad bovs and mvself used to help 1]
ourselves to old Mr Day's sugar a
cane without asking for it, roving
up and down the two roads leading 0
from King and Meeting streets and a
what was called "up the road."
Mr Editor, very little of my life ^
-was spent in Charleston after I was
thirteen years old, but there were ^
many scenes and trying times a
crowded in those few short years of a
Poor Conrad's time. Yes, I was all 1
alone in the dear old City by the 0
Sea. The name is so appropriate. 1:
I strolled aloug many of the streets 3
that were once the outskirts of the ^
city but uow elegantly pared with 3
handsome buildings on both sides, g
street cars whirling by where a few 3
years ago the sand was seyeral inches F
?deep. I passe I some of the churches ^
^here I went to Sunday school, also a
the place where my mother and v
father are buried. I took a look at 1
the old Market that was once such v
a lively business place but now a sad c
?nd gra^e-vard looking place. Did v
. not -even see any of the old buzzards ^
around?all gone. I never fail to
go by the corner of Charlotte and
Elizabeth streets where I had the
hardest fight of my life with an Irish y
boy.
I write about a good many things
that may seem small to big people a
but we were, all of us, children once, s
I went over to Sullivan's Island to 1
see the soldiers'encampment. I was J
a soldier myself once, so was my i
father. He was in the Indian war t
Ir. "Clnri/^Q T mpf sprpral nf mv an- J
quaintances from Kingstree. Some
seemed surprised to see me. Some
asked what I was doiDg down there.
They did not seem to know that I
was on my old ground.
I spent two nights with my son.
He is employed by the Southern
liailway. I also had the pleasure of
visiting the Citadel, and was rejoiced
to meet Col Asbury Coward,
the superintendent, now resigned.
He was quite glad to meet me, although
it has been 46 years since I
saw him. Colonel Coward is every
inch a soldier. I remember him so
well in Virginia the first two years 1
of the war. It made me feel so proud ^
always when I was detailed on $
brigade guard to be drawn up in t
line with the others in front of the
. Colonel. He had such a fine soldier- j
like bearing. He was quick-spoken, j
When giving a command to the
:guard he would not say "Attention t
Guard" but "Attention Guad,"
not "Shoulder Arms" but "Shoulder
Ams." I had quite a long talk with
him. He was wounded at the battle c
of Sbarpsburg. as well as myself. 2
The Colonel looks to be in excellent i
health and more active than 1 ex- s

Surgery in the Public Schools.
Editor County Record: The
ime has arrived w* '11 public
chools should be well

t is well known that ser.
?even death?is often p
ly the proper attention to
iometimes very slight bru
)unctures result seriously f(
>f prompt and proper attei
sTail punctures frequently resu
ock-jaw, pin scratches pr'blood
poison," etc. These, anu
ther wounds, unless affecting u
ital organ directly can be readily
lealed if given proper attention, but
t so often happens?nearly always,
q fact, that it is impossible to do
nything that is really needed.
An outfit suitable for all ordinary
ccasions, including the common
utiseptics,aseptic bandages, syringes,
orcens, etc., is procurable at all
rug stores and is cheap.
One teacher in every school should
iave a knowledge of the properties
ud application of the most useful
ntiseptics, and of the principles of
reatmeut of wounds, fistuloe and
ertain common skin iufections. This
s the more imperative in the rural
chools, some of them many miles
rom a surgeon. There should be a
tatute requiring every teacher, reardless
of whether or not he or
he holds college diplomas, to pass a
described examination indicating
lis or her efficiency in the science
nd art of simple surgery. This
k ould not in any way hurt the pracice
of the professional surgeons but
pould add much to the average life
>f mau. It really seems Strange that
ire should have been so long negectful
of this matter.

Stop Ind
Most digesters rely on pepsin.
But pepsin digests albumen only.
It is but one of the elements needed.
Starch, fats and phosphates each
require something else.
Then half of digestion is done in
the bowels, and pepsin can't do
that.
It requires many ingredients to
form a perfect digester, and they
must be in liquid form.
Kodol has all those ingredients.
It does all that the stomach
does?all that the bowels do It
digests any food?any mixture of
foods?completely.
Partial digesters give only halfway
help.
There is always some food left
to get hard, and irritate the stomach
lining.
That irritation, even though
6light, continues the inflammation.
That is why the stomach fails to
regain its strength.
A weak stomach is like a lame

never get well.
But give it complete rest?do all '
its work for it ? and Nature very
quickly restores its normal powers. '
You can't do this by dieting, for
there is always some food that
doesn't digest.
You can't do it with partial digesters.
You can't do it with tonics, for
they spur the stomach to but temporary
activity.
It must be done with Kodol.
The results then are instant and
complete. Every food that you
eat is digested. You get your full
nourishment, yet the stomach gets
absolute rest.

On the first dollar bottle of Kodol
your druggist gives a signed guarantee.
