While we are bewailing our own misfortunes growing out of the l"uropean war, and commiserating ourselves over the necessary sacrifice of luxuries to which we have long been accustomed, it is well enough to be remindedfnow and then of the cost and meaning of luxuries at an earlier period of our national life. In the possession of Mrs D W Kirkman of Albany is a bed spread, made in 1835 and, therefore, nearly 80 years old, which bears eloquent testimony of our own utter lack of excuse|for complaint because unexpected conditions have for the moi. ;? j raent eniorcea; economies aim scu-i denials which we do not seem dis-1 posed to accept with good grace. j The bed spread is of cotton, and every thread of it is hand-made. It1 is the handiwork of a great-grandmother of Mrs Kirkman, a resident of Kentucky. This daughter of the' Blus Grass State must have been a very versatile lady, for the family history of the bed spread which Mrs KirkmanJ prizes so highly relates that the maker of the spread planter! mo cntfnn cupd nicked the staple VU vtav- vvbvvii uv v r" "" 1? , when it opened, separated the seed and lint by hand, carded, then spun the fiber into thread, and finally wove the cloth on a hand loom. The j spread has a fringe border, and is ornamented'with an interesting design,all of which is hand-made from materials entirely produced at home. How much'more an elaborate bed spread must [have meant in those days than even the handsomest counterpane could possibly mean to the' owner today, ever though the latter be hand-made, is a matter for interesting speculation, though but one f?nnr?lnsinn is nossible. r We mention the interesting history of this 30-year-old bed spread because some of us need such lessons just now. We think?or, rather, we endeavor to give ourselves excuse for thinking?that we are having rather a hard time of it, as the war in Europe rages. But we are not. In fact,we are so much more fortunate than our grand-parents were, or than the great bulk of the people of the world are to-day, that we should be heartily ashamed to complain because of the slight discomforts we are temporarily experiencing.? ban if (Ga) Herald. In Re the Hard Times, Allow me space in your paper to say a few words. EveryDoay is talking about hard times just now. I got a letter from my brother the other day asking me how we are going to pay our guano bills with the low price" of cotton. I wrote him to keep his stables cleaned out and fill them with good old pine needles. That is the way I have started in myself. Let the guano pass on by. We will have to quit going to'the stores to buy soap and other things that we can do without by making them at home. The othei day a man asked me why didn't I trade some with him and 1 asked him why couldn't he buy my potatoes, eggs and butter? Is it right to take that money that I get for my produce and trade with a man who will not buy such as that? High priced tools and high priced mules is what hurts the most of us at the present time. We must stick to the ones who stick to us. S E Kennedy. Gaffney, S C, October, 2. I | ? Gaffyiey Ledger. I ' . J " * _ OES! 3 now replete with ingstree. le Queen Quality foi ?r Children.

They keep the herds of goats that furnish their milk pastured constantly near their camps. To blow up a bridge about to be crossed by the French, the Germans called on the twenty-four aviators near Rheims for a volunteer. It was a mission of certain death. All twenty-four wanted to go, so lots were drawn. The chosen aviator had blown up the bridge and died within five minutes. After the battle of Krasnik a wounded Hungarian hussar was found to have a quantity of earth wrapped carefully in a piece of |cloth. His mother had given it to him so if mortally wounded he could "die on Hungarian soil." On a wounded German soldier in Bordeaux was found a letter from his wife saying: "I hope you will spare neither women nor children." The letter was returned to the writer with this rebuke: "Madame, this! letter was found in your husband's | pocket. He is wounded and is being humanely cared for."

Act quickly in time of danger. In time of kidney danger Doan's Kidney Pills are most effective. Plenty of evidence of their worth. W R White, S Boundary St, Manning, S C, says: "At one time my kidneys were so weak that I had but little control over the kidney secretions. I suffered constantly from backache and pains across my loins and mornings I was so lame and sore that it was hard for me to dress. If! 1 sat down for a little while, I had to lift myself by main force. Nothing ever helped me until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They restored my kidneys to a normal condition and removed all the symptoms of the complaint. I can confirm the statement I gave some year3 ago re- ( garding Doan's Kidney Pills.
