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.

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

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

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken Ike Whele
Body?Make Yea Weak,Languid
and Depressed.
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."
