Round trip excursion rates to Memphis from principal stations as follows: Abbeville $11 45 Chester. 13 20 Lancaster. . 13 80 Rock Rill. 13 60 Blacksburg. 13 10 Anderson 11 45 Columbia 13 60 Newberry 12 75 Spartanburg 12 50 Orangeburg 13 75 Charleston ... 14 85 Camden 14 25 Greenwood 11 00 Prosperity 12 90 Sumter 14 45 The indications are that the reunion at Memphis this year will be one of the largest in the history of this organization. The various camds throughout the ? - - ? J o 6tate have already elected delegates and alternates, but it is certain that a large number of veterans other than those who will be official members of the convention will attend the gathering. A feature of the annual reunion of Confederate veterans which is, perhaps, most interesting to the general ? public as well as the most enjoyable, is to see "the boys who wore the gray"' in the parade when thousan ds march side by side as they did when they were fighting the battles with the Yankees in the sixties. This big parade will take place in Memphis this year,and the South Carolina division will take conspicuous part. HINE1AL SPKING SCHOOL CLOSES . With iBteresUng Exercises?Teachers, Pupils and Patrons Enjoy Occasion. Johnsonville, May 17:?-The Mineral Spring school, which has been 1 successfully taught by Miss Fanny Keels for the past four years, closed May 5, and had its picuic Saturday, the Sth, at Lake Cupel Baptist church near the schoolhouse. * - vl. - 1 1 tL. 1 At uie usual iiuur lur nunu commenced gathering and at half past tea o'clock the school children marched in a body from the schoolhouse to tne church and the boys had* drill in military style. u01d Glory" was unfurled on the drill ground and you should have heard how the little fellows hurrahed and yelled. Each of them wore caps of white and blue and seemed to feel that they were soldiers sitre enoughall little chaps too. The drill being over they marched into the church and in a short time the curtain was raised and the exercises begau with songs, recitations and dialogues. Some of them wer fine selections fiom the best author , piece, "The Swamp Fox," by Gilmore Simms and some of Longfel low's poems. Three of the largest girls had good selections, too, one was, "Our Dearest Friends,'' well rendered by Miss Muldrew Cox; another, "The Blue and the Gray," was pathetically spoken by Miss Ruth Cox, and last, but by no ! means the least, Miss Bernice Huggins recited, "O, Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud?" This poem was food for thought and was beautifully recited. Rev J L Mullinix then came to the front ank gave a good practical talk, touching on the home training of the children and possibilities that lie out before them when properly brought up, &c. Dinner was next in order and all were ready for it. As soon as it was announced the school marched iu double file to the table, then others followed till the large triangle was filled and ail did amole iustice to a fine and plentiful A 0 * dinner, consisting of fresh fish, bam, chicken, and, in short, everything else that goes to make a nice dinner, with steaming coffee and cold water gushing from a tine mineral spring nearby. It was estimated ihat the crowd number? two hundred or more. The was ideal for a picnic and all st in good spirits and to enjoy there. The school had been in sessn seven months and teachers and pupils were glad to have a rest Visitor. Live* 152 Tears.

Sick kidneys weaken the body through the continual drainage of life-giving albumen from the blood into the urine, and the substitution of poisonous uric acid that goes broadcast through the system,sowing the seeds of disease. Loss of albumen causes weakness, languor,depression. Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain, nervousness, nausea, cricks in the back, gravel and kidney stones. The proper treatment is a kidney treatment, and the best remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is good proof in the following testimonial: C L McElveen, S Church St, * o rv ft r\. _ T7!.i canning, o \j, gays: **L>oau ? i\iuuey Pilla pioved to be the best kidney remedy I ever used. My kidneys were weak for some time and too frequent passages of the secretious caused me to arise often during the night. I suffered severely from backaches and pains through my loins and at times I was so lame that I could not stoop or lift. I finally read about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box. Since using them, my backache has disappeared, the lame* ness has vanished aud 1 do not have to rise at night. I highly recommend Doan's Kiduey Pills at every opportunity." For sale by all dealers.
