KINGSTREE-THE GATEWAY TO OPPORTUNITY. THURSDAY. JAN. 25. 1912. Rewarding His Friends. I The Columbia State lias shown very conclusively that Governor Blease paid I .eon M Green?the ? 1 1.;., UJ Stive UJtr OlllOll. v/ii uiv cmv. principle, Governor Blease appears to be willing to squander the last cent of the State's revenues to compensate his friends for their friendship. One Lucky Editor. If any editor in the State received a turkey as a Christmas gift he was too modest or ungrateful to brag over his good luck. The most fortunate of the tribe so far as we know was the quill driver of the Kingstree Record, to whom were given a string of partridges, a fat 'possum, a pork ham, a half dozen pounds of fresh sausage and , two pumpkins.?Barnwell Peojle. The elevator man may not be a parent but he is responsible for the raising of many people. Now that Morse, "the ice king," has melted the heart of the Pres ident, wonder when will Harry Thaw out? Recently the Columbia Daily Record carried in one issue twelve pages of advertising for a single firm in that city. And yet some business concerns think that a half double column advertisement is the last degree of extravagance. A Even the lowly skunk, despised creature of the animal kingdom, L ISOW'S iV I. OUI'ier > V wiunnmi vwi i*\ 8pon<lent who elected to resign his job rather than relinquish hi? Blease colonelship?the sum of one thousand dollars of the people's tax money for copying a lot of stale statistics from Commissioner Watson's annual report. Governor Blease vetoed the bill providing for factory inspectors and then gave the job to his "friend," allowing him 81,000.00 of the State's money for a rehash of a document that had been printed in The Columbia State more than a month ago. Thus it is that our Governor rewards his friends. It reminds us strikingly of the oft-quoted remark of the late Artemus Ward, who, illustrative of his patriotism, said that he was willing to shed the last drop of blood of his wife's relatives A - * 4^ ^ On f Vlfl CQTTlfl has been called upon to sacrifice n hi? life to enhance the charms <f '' lovely woman.

Un- j j, dpr ordinary conditions the route is, ? as easy as any other, but when j d there is a freshet in the river the j w s numerous streams adjacent thereto ci, that the carrier has to cross make s. it hazardous when they become af- J fected by the overflow. Below is n an account of my trip as carrier on ^ Route No 1 Saturday, January 13, 1912: ti I awoke that morning to find it a sleeting and bitterly cold. Some K one said that the carrier could not e go out that day and I thought my- ^ self that it was very hard.

Ga, (Special):?'This city > wild with excitement over the /onderful cures of certain chronic iseases that are being treated with strange new liquid, recently introluced by an Indiana man who claims o have spent the best years of his ifc and a large sum of money perecting it. * * ? *r Scores ot people wno nave suncrd for years, many of whom never xpeeted to see another well day, ave been completely restored to ealth and news of countless wonerful cures have spread like wild re. The drug store where the strange quid has been demonstrated is beieged with health-seekers from morning till night and many intersting stories are being told by perons who, having used the new treatment successfully, brought in some ick friend or acquaintance to chain a supply. Among the many recent callers ,ho related their strange experi nces with the new treatment was Ir Oliver W DeVVeire, who has ved at 840 Bank street, Atlanta, wenty-two years and who for sixeen years has been employed as lacksmith in the Southern Railroad ound house. Mr De Weire said he ad been afflicted with stomach rouble for about four years and hat five doctors and many different ledicines had failed to effect a cure. n speaking of his strange case he aid: "I sometimes would have no esire to eat at all. My digestion ras poor and frequently I would uffer intensely with pain in my tomach. Gas would form in my tomach and cause belching. I had ull, heavy headaches and was very ervous, irritable and worrisome, it night I could not sleep. I was ;eak and felt all run down. I have ow been using the new Root Juice reatment for about three weeks nd feel like a new man. I have ained six pounds in weight and can at almost anything. I sleep fine, jo, and get up feeling rested. This ledicine has certainly fixed me up 1 fine shape." Another startling account was 1 l- - 1 I lven by a man wno saia ne nau ame from Marietta. He gave his name as James D. tupp, his address as 324 Hoovel treet, and was very enthusiastic ver the results in his case. "I have een a sufferer from stomach, liver nd kidney trouble for seven years," e said. "My food positively would ot digest and I was in constant fisery. I tried one remedy after nother without relief. I heard so luch about this new Root Juice reatment that I procured a bottle nd began using it. To my great rprise before I had finished it I aund my stomach, liver and kidney rouble fast disappearing. Now I an eat heartily and I sleep well, i fact, I feel better every way." Other well-known Atlanta people 'ho report equally phenomenal rejlts are Mr R W Roberts, 16 Short treet. who says that his wife was reated by twenty-two doctors withut results and that the first bottle f the juice treatment brought slief. Mr Oscar L. Seymour, living at ^eber and Orange streets, reports hat after suffering from rheumasm, swollen joints and pain for ight years, three bottles of the iice treatment put him on his feet, aused the soreness and swelling to isappear and made him feel fine. So quickly and marvelously 'have )me severe cases been cured that Tories have been circulated to the ffect that the medicine possesses jme miraculous power, but this of Durse is ridiculous and untrue. Many of those who have used it, owever, say that the good effect is ?lt so quickly that it does seem allost like a miracle.

Black iiver water works?a distance o of about 9 miles from the office? b here I found that the Black river * banks were overflowing so much n that it was impossible to cross the n river in a flat; I then had to strike a out on foot. I had a heavy mail n that day and owing to the fact that * it had snowed all the morning, and the flakes were still falling thick f( and fast, and facing the bitter ti North-west wind, I found it a slow c and tedious process to travel. I would have had to travel 20 miles, through that snow storm before I! S1 could sit beside my fireside that j si night. I never reached it. I got j ^ within 5 miles ef the office about 0 dusk, at Warr's Crossing, a little r( station on the Marion Branch rail road, and I was almost frozen and V quite exhausted. Mr Warr, who fj lives at the station, took me in and ^ 61 gave me a very comfortable bed. I j, knew my people at home and my c friends would be uneasy, so early d next morning I left to finish my trip of the day before. I arrived at ? the office about 9:30 a m, but not e) without difficulties. I walked from S( Warr's Crossing on the Marion C( Branch railroad and in numerous places the banks were completely jj, washed away, and nothing was left f( except the ties and the rails.

At times I was too weak to feel myself and when I started taking Root Juice 1 weighed only ninety-eight pounds. Within a \\^ek after taking my first dose I found I could eat anything 1 cared to without the slightest discomfort and that 1 was gaining rapidly in weight. After I took several bottlesof the medicine I was able to do my own housework and have not been troubled since In any way." The case of Mrs J Schondell is another examnle of the wonderful re suits that the medicine is accomplishing for sick people. Mrs Schondell suffered for years with rheumatism which became so severe that she was unable to move. The story of hrr strange and remarkable recovery is l?est told in her own words, and the following is quoted from a signed statement which she has issued for publication: "I suffered for years with a severe attack of Rheumatism. After trying numerous doctors without success I made up my mind to see what the Root Juice medicine would do for me. Before taking the medicine I was unable to move and had to be carried from one place to another, but when I had taken only two bottles I was able to walk without assistance and can now take care of my household duties. Root Juice saved my life." i ine enect 01 tne nooi juice upon 1 persons suffering from stomach trou' ble is almost incredible.

Oases of kidney and bladder trou- i ble, too, in which the sufferers com- j plained of backache, soreness in the I back, dark specks seeming to float J before the eyes,painful and frequent ! urination, puffiness under the eyes and other common symptoms, have ' yielded very quickly and many complete cures reported. !
