HEMINGWAY HAPPENINGS. Recent Events In Live Community Briefly Chronicled. Hemingway, July 6:?Hemingway has been silent long enough. We are glad to say our town is progressing nicely. Farmers throughout this section seem to be in good heart, as their crops are fairly good. The tobacco men are losing no time advertising Hemingway as a tobacco market, which we expect to be one of the best, according to size, in the State. The merchants and other business men are looking forward to good business, which expectation we hope will be fulfilled. , Mr A E Flowers,formerly of Venters, is about to complete his store building, which is a nice one. He expects to open up for business about July 15. We regret very much that the parsonage at Venders was destroyed by fire a few days ago, a defective stove flue being the cause. However, we welcome our pastor, Rev P B Irigraham, in our town, and hope he will make it his home as long as he is on this charge. Dr W C Hemingway visited Charleston a few days ago and reports having an enjoyable visit. lf ? ?-l Ar^omo nf ^Qtrflnnoh illI5SS real I nuauu v/1 UI4TUU..U.., Ga. is visiting her brother, Mr J L Merriman, of this place. Mr C B Cox, formerly of Vox, has moved to town and is going out from Hemingway on his R F D route instead of from Vot. We welcome Mr Cox to our town. Mr H Edward Eaddy has about completed his residence and will move therein in the next few days. Mr Eaddy is a member of the firm of the Huggins-Eaddy Co. and his move will be a source of convenience to him,as he has hitherto made atrip of four miles every day to attend to his business affairs in town. Mr and Mrs D G Huggins have just returned from a pleasant visit to Lamar. Mr H L Whitlock, the lightning rod man of Lake City,was down last wppk. "roddinar" some houses in town and vicinity. Dr E A Simmons has moved into his new bungalow, which is a nice one. We congratulate Dr Simmons on his good taste in building.

(YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU WANT IT.; Leading Druggist Will Refund Purchase Price of Godson's Liver Tone if You're Dissatisfied. i Dr W V Brockington may not be willing to guarantee the safety and reliability of calomel for constipation and sluggish liver, but he will and does stand back of Dodson's Liver tone with an unconditional guarantee to refund the full purchase price (50c) instantly without question if you are not satisfied in every way with Liver Tone and its results. If you take calomel, perhaps you will seem to get temporary relief, but it often happens that the after effects are at least unpleasant and sometimes dangerous. Calomel in large doses is a poison and actually deadly to some?perhaps to you? and hence its use means taking chances. With Dodson's Liver Tone you are always safe. Its reliability is so certain that it can be sold with the money-back guarantee. It is a vegetable liquid, pleasant to take, and it cannot harm. It clears up the dulled and aching head and cleans out the clogged system in what many have found to be a wonderful way. Dodson's Liver Tone will do for you what it has done for thousands?and you take no risk in trying it. Ask Dr Brockington about Dodson's and the guarantee. Mr Maxcy A Thomas Dead. This estimable gentleman passed away at his home near Lake City last Thursday afternoon. He had been in declining health for several months and his death at this time was not a surprise to those acquainted with his feeble condition. Mr Thomas was born and reared in OAnnfir on/-] nnlu HA. tv 11ilaiiiouui& wuuvj uiiu wx. came a citizen of Florence county by reason of the annexation several years ago of that section of his native county in which his home and estate were situated. For thirty-five years he was a surveyor, and in the pursuit of his duties as such, underwent many hardships and frequently severe exposure. His life was one of unceasing activity until his health gave way and he was obliged to give up. In late years he attended only to his farm duties. Mr Thomas was noted for his honesty and uprightness of character. He was a consistent* member of the Lake City Baptist church,and superintendent of the Sunday-school up to the time of his death. He was sixty-two years of age and is survived hy his wife and four children, namely, Mrs B H Willis of Cottageville; Mrs D H Oliver. Caces; Miss Lena and Mr Boyde M Thomas of Lake City. The deceased was laid to rest in the Baptist church cemetery at Lake o.'i? j_??l^ ^lty rriuay aiicniuuu iii uie presence of a large gathering of friends. ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WELL? Many Ktogstree People Know the Importance of Healthy Kidneys. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. Well kidneys remove impurities. Weak kidneys allow impurities to multiply. No kidney ill should be neglected. There is possible danger in delay. If you have backache or urinary troubles, If you are nervous, dizzy or worn out, Begin treating your kidneys at once; Use a proven kidney remedy. None endorsed like Doan's Kidney Pills. Recommended by thousands. Proved by Darlington testimony. E T West, Broad St, Darlington, S C. says: "I had a lame and aching back and pains through my kidneys. I used Doan's Kidney Pills as directed and they acted so beneficially that I have no hesitation in telling of my experience. I haven't been bothered by backache since." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr West had. Foster-Milburn Co, Props, Buffalo*. N Y. The new postoffice at Mobile, Ala, will be built of marble quarried in Alabama. The Treasury department has announced the award of the contract to a Montgomery firm. The structure will cost $268,000. Jamaica ginger has been placed under the ban in Kansas. The State ; supreme court holds that it is intoxI icating and that a druggist who sells it may be prosecuted for violation of the prohibitory law. / START A BANK ACCOUNT. Then Your Money Won't Be Burning a Hole In Your Pocket. "A bank is built to keep money in?and your pockets are' so arranged that you spend it." To this effect spoke a farmer who was being interviewed by a writer for a banking magazine. Before the farmer made his discovery that it's easier to spend money out of your pockets than money in a bank account, he followed this plan (let him tell it): mnnntr A 1 nf if T 1 UlilUC J1IUUCJ. i* iVk Vi. > .. carried around with me and the rest I left at home. Somehow or other 1 never got ahead. I couldn't understand it. I blamed the weather, the crops, the markets, the tariff? blamed everything but myself." Then this farmer got his idea. At the time he had just $20 above his immediate needs. He started the bank account with $10. That $10 stuck, and he began to add to the account. He said to the interviewer: "With cash in the bank I was able to lake advantage of opportunity when it came my way. Opportunity takes off its hat to the man with cash. The more money you have the more opportunities you have. I notice opportunity doesn't hang around the poorhouse. "I got that field over there cheap because I had the cash in the bank to pay for it. Pretty, isn't it? And it pays too!" There is a definite moral effect produced by starting a bank account. You feel under obligations both to the bank and to yourself to make that account grow. It is like undertaking some bit of work in which you take a pride?you don't want to fail. There is a positive stimulation of success. If you make that bank account grow normally you are not only going to be richer, but you are also going to be stronger and more capable. Opportunities which open out to the owner of a bank account mean two things to him. First, they show him the way to make more money. That may or may not be a good thing. Better, they show him a way to become more active, more alert, more useful. If he can take advantage of opportunity to make his bank account enlarge his field of work and interests he will help to set up higher standards of achievement in his community. So your bank account becomes a moral bracer.?Chicago News. The Weather House. A very ingenious contrivance for foretelling the weather is the old fashioned "weather house," largely made in Switzerland. It is arranged in such a way that two figures act in response to the twisting of a piece of catgut. The material, supported by a wire, controls the movements of a little platform on either end of which is placed a model. Excessive moisture in the air causes the catgut to twist and turn the platform round, so that the man emerges from one of the doors in the front of the house. Reverse conditions of the atmosphere bring about the contraction of the catgut, and the platform swings back, thus bringing the figure of the woman into prominence at her particular door. The making of a weather house is quite an easy matter. Being True to Nature. The lady had been out shopping. She returned home with a handsome sable scarf. She remarked to her sister (as recorded in London Opinion), who was admiring the purchase: "That stupid salesman tried to get me to buy a fur with two heads. I cannot tolerate the unnatural in anything. Who ever heard of an animal with two heads?" . Her sister looked critically at the scarf. Then a 6inile of amusement lit up her face. "Yes," she remarked, "you didn't buy a fur with two heads, but you have bought one 4- Vi i rtonn foilo " TT itU bUll On* View of Chance. When you talk of chance you are only confessing ignorance. The very spin of the coin is governed by the nerve, muscle, or manipulation of the thumb and brain that spin it. The only chance about it is your ignorance of the forces that lift, twist and catch the coin. If you could calculate the physical and mental forces between the halfpenny's leap and return you might buy the world. But you can't. And it's just that bit of blindness that we have to call chance.?London Chronicle. Hindoo Fakir*. Among the fakirs in Hindustan a peculiar custom is that of holding the hand tightly clinched and in one position so long that at last the nails grow through the palm, emerging at the back of the hand and growing thence almost to the wrist. When the wasted muscles refuse to support the arm any longer it is bound in position with corda. CARICATURING IS OLD. But John Lew's Wild Financial Methods Gavs It a Nsw Life. Caricature nowadays is one of the principal methods of criticism. No movement can overreach the mark without eliciting dozenn of works of art from caricaturists all over this and all other countries. This branch of criticism and attack dates far back, but the greatest "impulse it ever felt cajpe from the age of tremendous speculation, when, in 1719 and 1730, John Law was manipulating things financial in France. Never before had the financial world been so carried off its feet as it was at that time. Members of the nobility were waiting for%a chance to purchase shares in Law's schemes. 'Duchesses and ladies of high renown tried their most persuasive charms on Law in the attempt to get hold of shares. Men hired out their backs for writing ? desks, so great was the press of business in making contracts, and one hunchback is reputed to have made 100,000 francs in this way in n few weeks. The French went verWdy mad over the schemes to becom* wealthy. Naturally the papers of the time, especially those of Holland, caricatured the state of affairs. There were pictures of all sorts caricaPuring Law, the nobility, the schemes and everything connected with them. It was this tremendous amount of pictorial work that first directed the energies of William Hogarth in London in this direction. Caricaturing began to be used more and more in the political field, and 6oon afterward it caused the shelving of Rob ert Walpole from the English ministry. Ever since then has caricaturing been one of the bitterest and most effectual methods of checking public men and their schemes. Cleared His Doubts. A well known English gentleman engaged a tall and powerful highlander to act as gamekeeper on his estate. Having been a considerable time at his post and not having caught any poachers, the gentleman suspected iliis gamekeeper of carelessness. So one dark night he disguised himself and went out with a gun to poach on his own ground. He had fired only one or two shot? when he was suddenly pounced upon from behind and his gun wrenched away. Then kicks and blows were showered upon him until he fell down half insensible. The highlander then walked away quietly, and when the gentleman recovered sufficiently lie crawled home and took to his bod for two weeks. He has now no doubts as to whether the man can perform his duty or not. Put In Mor* Words. "Xow, Peters," said the teacher, "\Niat is it makes the water of the sea so salty ?" "Salt," said Peters. "Next!" said the teacher. "What is it makes the water of the sea so salty ?" "The salty quality of the sea water," answered "Next," "is due to the admixture of a sufficient quantity of chloride of sodium to impart to the aqueous fluid with which it commingles a saline flavor, which is readily recognized by the organs of taste!" "Right, Next," said the teacher. "Go up one!" Breakfasting With Whiatler. There was a foreign painter who used to breakfast at Chelsea with Whistler, and when Mr. Carr asked him if he had been there lately he replied: "Oh, no; not now so much. He ask me a leetle while ago to , breakfast, and I go. My cab fare, 2 shilling, 'arf a crown. I arrive, ; very nice. Goldfish in bowl, very (J pretty. But breakfast?one egg, , one toast?no more! Oh, no. My | cab fare, 2 shilling, 'arf a crown. ( For me no more]"?London Telegraph. I Pitiful Sal**. Kits of sailors lost at sea are sold regularly at auction at the Albert ] docks in London. The sale providee j many a pitiful sight. Most of the ( lots are contained in the regular j sailor's sea enest, all marked with the name of the ship from which they come. It is not unusual for j those who have lost friends or relatives at sea to attend these auctions, . and there are tirr.es when the first ( I news of such a loss comes through j : the recognition of familiar objects. < Weaving Stocking*. , The art of weaving stockings in a frame was invented in England by the Rev. Mr. Lee of Cambridge in 1589, twenty-five yean after he had learned to knit them with needles. Cotton stockings were first ? made in 1730. The ancients wore cloth about their feet and legs, and i in modern Europe cloth hose were 1 in use for generations before knit i hose were known. 1 Bank Sta i Favorably Shov Business Statement of tbe Condition of The Bank of Williamsburg, located at Kingstree, S.
