The pelvis of the kidneys. as well as the tubules, is lined with mucous membrane, and is therefore subject to catarrhal congestion. * Sometimes tho catarrh is so slight as tc cause no attention. Other times itleaut. up to very serious conditions. Any remedy capable of mitigating the catarrh is a much more rational treatment tnan to give palliatives that only Tvlieve the patient of one or mort disagreeable symptoms. It is claimed for Pcruna that it is an Internal systemic catarrh remedy, and reaches tho catarrh in whatever organ it happens to be located. "I was cured of a severe attack of inflammation of the bowels by taking Peruna. I am glad to recommend Peruna to any one."?Mrs. J. J.

REFRESHING RAINS?THE SERVANT PROBLEM-CHURCHES VACANT SUNDAY. Lake City, May 31:?Mr J L Stuckey went to Charleston Sunday night on a short visit. Dr A H Williams attended the commencement exercises at Columbia Female College this week. His daughter, Miss Ruth, was a member of the graduating class. Miss Mamie Green is another of our young ladies that were among those who received their diplomas. We had two runaways last week? a mule in a buggy and a horse hitched to a wagon. Both animals did their best to smash things, but succeeded only indifferently, the driver in each case sticking to his post. This section was blessed with an abundant rainfall last Wednesday afternoon and night, and lots of good to farms and gardens from it is now being reaped. Of course, like every other blessing,the showers are not an unmixed blessing. The same moisture that causes corn and cotton, tobacco and vegetables to grow makes the weeds and grass. So we must be up and doing if we would reap the advantages of the blessing. The servant problem seems an exceedingly serious one. More ladies are doing the cooking and house-cleaning in this town than ever before, while the negro wenches are parading the streets in battalions This seems hard, and it is hard, but the future will prove that the negro is being hurt worse than the white. The lightwood stove, that smoked up the whole house, is giving way to the smokeless oil stove; the half-cooked and wholly singed "grub" is being replaced by wholesome and enjoyable food; the waste and stealings are being understood and counteracted, and the grease and grime and filth are being substituted by cleanliness and conse quent Godliness. The''niggers' "days are numbered and, thank you, sir, they number but few. Many people, no doubt, do not see the situation in this light, and think the negro the best servant for the South and deplore his growing scarcity and increasing worthlessness. A little serious thought, however, will prove convincing. It were wise to meet the future, preparing and prepared to accept it as it shall come. Mr W S Eaddy came up from Prospect Monday to town. For the first time in a great many months?we really have no idea how many?not a single pulpit in town was occupied last Sunday. The pasx r _ if.il 1.U tor 01 uitr iueuiuui&c uuuiuii >vaa aw McClellanville, attending .district conference; the Baptist elder was at tbe union meeting at Bethel and he who ministers to the Presbyterians had no appointment for this fifth Sunday. There were two services at King's warehouse, conducted by a traveling preacher, whose name we did not learn. ? Mr B Wallace Jones, Jr, was in Hartsville last week. A good many people, by the way, contend that Hartsville is easily th? most progressive town in the Pee Dee section, and that foundations are being laid there that will one day place that town in a class to which few others can even aspire. Among those from this section who attended the district conference at McClellanville last week were Hon J D Carter and Mr J J Morris. They went and returned by way of Georgetown. We have heard a faint rumor that I this county may furnish a candidate for the office of railroad com missior.er. Dr W S Stokes spent the latter part of last week in the Johnsonville neighborhood.

Mr George A McElveen, the wide- j awake local correspondent of the News & Courier, wrote that newspaper the following article last week ( relating to the progress and im- ^ provement made by Kingstree within ' the past decade: Kingstree, May 25:?One of the most striking illustrations of what 1 J can be accomplished by individuals and communities is furnished by what Kingstree is doing. The prac-!, tical efforts of individuals and the I deep interest of every citizen furnish 1 an inspiring example for like com- ( munities all over the country. While Kingstree is only a small i town with not over 2,500 inhabitants,yet the population has increased . three-fold in the last decade. Ten year^^o there were not a dozen ' bu^^^^^es, whereas to-day they nn times that. There was j onl> iking institution, to-day 1 it can OuaSt of three counting the { Wee Nee Bank, recently organized. There were no sidewalks, while today she can pride herself with hav- ' ing more cement walks than any i town in this section of the State. Ten years ago there was but a tiny , school house with one teacher; to- ' day a flourishing high school, housed in a splendid building, and presided ' over bv a suDerintendent. a princi- < pal and six lady teachers. The development of Kingstree , may be traced entirely to the ener- ' getic efforts of her people. In addition to this, there seems to be an 1 unusual quality of soil in this vicin- 1 ity, especially adapted to the grow- j ing of cotton, corn and truck, and within the past two years it has de- , veloped that the country is blessed with tobacco lands, which necessitated the erection of two large tobacco warehouses, fitted up with immense prizeries, enabling the market to handle during the first season nearly two million pounds of tobacco. The farmers are all thrifty, the farms beautiful and the only drawback is labor. It cannot be said that this is purely a local development, but it is true of this community, and the people are relying upon /viim ond fltnir Aum intrii uwn icovui ouu uua ability to do things, and that kind of development is permanent. A Woman's Great Idea is how to make herself attractive. But, without health, it is hard for her to be lovely i3 face, form or temper. A weak, sickly, woman will be nervous and irritable. Constipation and kidney poisons show in pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complexion. But Electric Bitters always prove a godsend to women who want health, beauty and friends. They regulate stomach, liver and kidneys, purify the blood: give strong nerves, bright eyes, pure breath, smooth, velvety skin, lovely complexion, good health. Try them. 50c at M L Allen's.

Johnsonville, May 23 :?G ood morning, Mr Editor; I wish to inform the public in general, and Lake ; City in particular, that the "Jost" is i still at Johnsonville, and has just read of Lake City's intention of i leaving Williamsburg. Now, of. course, she feels a little hurt about i the way the election turned out, but | "The best laid schemes o' men and ; mice aft gang agley." Now, if Lake City goes to Florence, what are the candidates of that city going to do ? They will simply have to hand over the campaign "dough" and quit. Lake City wants to be right at a court house, and yet she is going to leave Kingstree, which is only fourteen miles away, and go to Florence, which is twenty-three. It strikes me that 3he is going to "cut off her nose to spite her face," and the pretty part of it is, she has quit boasting and is now trying to beg in. "0, you Lake City!" Florence says she doesn't want you, but you have the brass to push yoursen on her. Make 'ier take you; we won't cry. Now, we haven't got anything at all against our neighbor, but simply want to impress on her tender mind tl^t we fly the banner of "old Williamsburg." Good-bye, Lake City, may joy go with you !
