this prodigality of nature is re- \

of natural resources has become a \

conservation of our personal resour- t

A Wasteful People. i
We give below for the benefit
of our readers the article commended
hv our esteemed Lake j
City correspondent in his letter i
ln<t wppIc?"A Wasteful People." *
We are a wasteful people. Our
millionaires glory in it. The aver- c
age citizen is just as wasteful with- j
out thinking about it. It is com" ^
pute<l that a< much as one-twentieth
of all tiie sugar used in this *
country is absolutely wasted. Watch t
any man at a restaurant. He will ?
dump sugar into his coffee by the j
spoonful, <tir a little, drink his l?ev- j
erage and depart. Nine times out
of ten there will be almost as much
sugar lying wasted in the iiottoni of I
the cup as there has been put into j j
it. This waste in the aggregate
amounts to thousands of pounds of c
sugar the year, and this at a
time when sugar is selling at the \
liighe-t price recorded in years. (
We waste in everything. Shoes,
the tops of which are perfectly good,
half-soling alone l?eing necessary,are ?
promptly discarded. Our forebears
used to sew new bottoms on all
stockings of which the tops were ^
good. Hundred- of men tnrow v
away their socks as .soon as a small c
hole appears in them. Style puts i
garments out of use before they
have served half their purpose. We
are not content to l>e warmly and j*
comfortably clad. Our clothes must
be after the model suggested by Editor
Bok.or some other feminine art- c
ist. Some of us cannot cat round -N
steaks. We must have tiie tender- 1"
loin all the time. Perhaps our an- 1
cestors would have laughed at us
for our extravagance, orhavespank- 2
ed us, if young enough. c
We are wasteful in our careless- f
ness about tire; wasteful in our eating;
wasteful in our clothes; wasteful
in our amusements; wasteful in
our voice-; wasteful in our activities,
even We are almost a nation of ,

No better test of any article can
;e made than the test of time and
his is particularly true of a kidney
nedicine. Doan's Kidney Pills have
itood this test and stood it well.
?Vhat better proof of the merits of
his reftiedy could you demand than
;he statement of a Kingstree resilent
who has been cured and has
stayed cured?
Read the following:
Mrs P D Epps, Kelley St,
Kingstree, S C,'says: "I have no
lesitation in recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills, for I know from ex)erience
that they act just as repre;ented.
Two years ago I suffered
;rom an attack of kidney complaint
md I had a lame and aching back.
U that time I used Doan's Kidney
Jills and they so completely relieved
ne that I have not had any need of
i kidney medicine since. I cheer'ully
recommend this preparation in
eturn for what it has done for
ne."

'THE PRODIGAL" IS
BACK OH THE JOB
IND WE HAVE TRIO TOPICS
TERSELY TOLD ONCE MORETHINGS
WORTH RECORDING.
Trio, November 13:?There isn't
rnich doin.4 around here these days,
>nt what thhrp is is worth readillC
about.
The ginnery is running only three
iays a week now, most of the cotton
having already been sold?some'
thing over 600 bales, which is nearlj
200 bales more than the whole season
last year.
Mr Cleve Morris, a son of Mr F L
Morris, is now in Columbia, having
accepted a position with the South
?rn railway.
Dr L W M}ore visited his parent
?t al at Lake City Sunday and Man
day.
We are glad to learn that Mr M I
Boyd, of the "Gully", is petting
along nicely, after a severe illness
Hope to see him out soon.
Messrs James Bryan and W 1
Rowell made a business trip t(
Kingstree Monday.
Mr Jas Bryan visited Charlestor
ane dav last week on business.
?
Mr W S Camlin of West Andrews
ivas a welcome visitor here Tuesday
We are always glad to see Mr Cam'
in in our midst.
The road from Trio to Andrews,
>vith the exception of about 20C
rards, is now ready for traveling,
rhe little no thoroughfare of 20C
rards might be speedily remedied
vith profit to all concerned. Now,
et's all pull together, fellow-citizens
md Mr Koad engineer; it needs oniy
i little ditching.
The new school-house is nearing
,'ompletion now. The contractor^sects
to have it ready in about three
veeks, we understand. Several of
;he school children from here are
low attending the graded school at
Andrews. Supt W H Andrews, of
he G & W railroad, gives a very
iberal rate to Andrews and return.
ivir DtlLUIl DlUll, a laiinci ui iata- i
ington county, claims to have made I
this year eleven bales of cotton on '
five acres. The report does not state
the weight of the bales, however.
XXX
Nearly a score killed and many
people injured more or less sjverely
was the work of the storm and bliz- zard
that raged Saturday right in
Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois'. No
deaths were reported in the Southern
States. U
XXX l!
Governor Blease says that he has tl
decided not to call an election on the 81
question of forming "Heyward" ^
county, a new county to be created a
out of portions of Aiken and Edge- G
field counties. J
XXX u
Mr Riley Porter of Pickens county, ^
was killed Friday of last week by G
being caught in a l:ne shaft at his f"
0 b
father's ginnery. .He was putting a
belt on a wheel when his arm was &
caught and broken off above the b
T
elbow, then he was carried around
the shaft several time3,causing fatal ?
internal injuries. His brother. Wad- ?
p
dy Porter, was accidentally killed
three weeks ago while out hunting.
Appreciation.
Thanks to our kind and liberal si
friends, the editor and his family | C
enjoyed a feast, of good things to fi
eat last week tnat really left noth- N
ing to be desired. In fact, our ap- t<
j petites have been so pampered that aj
it is harder than ever to go back to
I the stand-by?fried bacon and hominy,
canned salmon, etc. G
! What do you think of this, Brother C1
Bass, for a layout to delight the 0
soul of an epicure: b
Item?One fat 'possum (it had ^
ibeen fattened in a pen, like a pig), ^
and a side of pork, from our big- e
hearted friend, Mr R C McElveea
;of Bethel. "Charley" is one of the
best fellows we know; his kindnesses p
i to us extend from year to year and 0
' we believe that he enjoys tne giving c
almost as much as we do his gifts, p
j which is certainly the quintessence s
i of enjoyment. ii
Then our generous neighbor. Mr ?
-! W H McGee, went duck-hunting in
j Georgetown last week and brought
J; home of a bunch of beauties. He
r presented us with a fine Mallard?
we suppose it was a Mallard.it ate ^
i so good ?which made us a Sunday ^
*' dinner fit for a King. f
J Our esteemed friend, Mr H H i
Kinder, must have heard about that c
I . I
i 'possum, for he brought us in just 1
1! at the psychological moment, a fine *
lot of those beautiful yams than
' which there is no more graceful
' concomitant, to Mr Possum imaginable.
I
Last, but not least, came along
? Mr Duncan Gamble Saturday with a
* fine string of fresh fish, which he, p
> hearing of our being sick that day, r
' brought around to the house. They r
' were delicious, too, and had much n
1 to do with hastening our convales- a
1 cence to the point of being able to v
' I enjoy them. Jh
Now that it is all over, it seems
: like a dream, all that feast of good
things bestowed upon us in one d
> week. The substantial fact remains, d
however, and will ever be in our
! mind.that we live in a land'of plenty; v
' our lines are cast in pleasant places, tj
and a more hospitable, generous, no'
hie people dwell nowhere on this
terrestrial ball than the good people
; of Kingstree and Williamsburg
county. If we had the choice of a j
dwelling place anywhere in the j
[ world we would continue to live I
! right here iri old Williamsburg
county. South Carolina. /

In a difficulty with a negro named
indrews at Salters yesterday, it is q
eported that young Mr Julius Lif- m
age cut and seriously wounded the Pi

rith a piece of scantling, and the ^
itter acted in self-defense.
