Mr Connor lives about five miles from New Brookland, a suburb of Columbia, on Rural Route No 2. He is a substantial farmer. He came to Burnett & Whetsell's drug store, at New Brookland, and while there he voluntarily told his amazing story of how Tanlac.the master medicine,had banished his really alarming troubles. He said: "I had been a sufferer for a long time with stomach and intestinal troubles. I underwent an operation for appendicitis more than a year ago. and peritonitis, which followed, almost killed me. Before and after this operation, nothing I would eat would stay on my stomach. I had no appetite. I lost weight until I was Tanlac, the master medicine, is ? sold exclusively by Kingstree Drug I Co, Kingstree. Price: $1 per bottle, . straight.

Colds, fevers and infectious diseases very often leave the kidneys weak. So little attention is given the condition of the kidneys during recovery from the original trouble that a severe attack of kidney disease often follows. Here's how it happens. The kidneys are worked hard enough in healthy times. They have to filter the blood. In any germ disease the blood is loaded with extra poisons made by the disease germs. This overwork tends to weaken the kidneys. After colds, grip, scarlet fever, typhoid, measles, pneumonia, diphtheria, tonsilitis or chicken pox, watch for backache and urinary disorders, and promptly use Doan's Kidney Pills. Kingstree npnnln havp found Doan's reliable in w r*"- - many forms of kidney trouble. Here is a Kingstree woman's experience: Mrs S H DuBose, Kingstree, says: "A spell of la grippe, weakened my kidneys, and my back began to ache terribly. I could hardly turn oyer in bed, I was so sore and lame. I tired easily and could hardly do my housework. I suffered from dizzy WHY NOT TAX HOUSE CATS?! c L. AN EXCELLENT WAY TO RAISE t MONEY FOR STATE GOVERN- c MENT, SAYS COLUMBIAN, I Miss Belle Williams, of Columbia, ; secretary of the Audubon Society of South Carolina, says: 1 "I have followed with interest the accounts given of the proceedings of * the House in regard to doubling the s tax on dogs. The office of this so- r ciety has been at some pains recent ly to collect data bearing on the injury done to wild birds by dogs 8 roaming at large during the birds' breeding season. An effort was al- ' so made to get an average of fair and unprejudiced opinion as to the best method of dealing with the problem. "The evidence collected shows that the countless numbers of half-breed, half-starved dogs which roam the fields and woods night and day, and generally escape taxation, constitute a very serious drain upon the resources of the State. In addition to the vast injury done to all groundnesting birds, particularly the noble Bob White, domestic fowls such as chickens and turkeys suffer greatly, and in some parts of the State these poor, hungry beasts, in order to sustain their miserable existence, break down and destroy corn from the time it is in 'mutton' till it is harvested. Then, too, there is the menace from hydrophobia. STATE TAX DESIRABLE. "The concensus of opinion of those fonlwincr tn thp AnHnhnn Snoiptv's L v fLJ '" ft ?? ? - J request for suggestions as to the < v remedy to be applied is that a good, j high State-wide tax, rigidly enforced j by well paid officers, would be efficacious. Such a law rightly enforc- ( ed would reduce the numbers of dogs to those which would be really desired and well cared for. It would be a kindess to the poor dogs in the ( first place, to their often indifferent owners in the second place, and would deprive no one of a dog whose i present and future happiness depends on the possession of one. A long step in the direction of bird conservation would be taken. "It is rather difficult to see the logic of placing dogs in the same I class with cows and mules. The latter do not roam the woods and fields night and day. They are fairly well fed, are restrained within certain limits and there is redress for any injury they may do. They do not trot along in packs at the heels of idle people, nor destroy our ground-nesting birds, nor afford a standing menace to the community because of hydrophobia. Cows and mules make returns to their ownersin dollars and cents throughout their long and useful lives for the food and care which they receive. TAX THE CATS ALSO. "The question put by one of the members from Fairfield in ridicule of this important piece of constructive legislation, 'Why don't you put a tax of 50 cents on each house cat?, is prophetic. In many of the more nrojrressive States this subject is al ready being discussed and bills to j this effect have been introduced into the Legislatures of Massachusetts, 1 New York and New Jersey. The town of Montclair, N J, has just passed a law to prevent unidentified cats from running at large in the 1 streets. Such legislation is a great kindness to cats. ' "Students of the causes of the de- ' crease of bird life find that cats are 1 one of the worst scourges. One ' well fed house cat has been known 1 to destroy as many as 50 song birds in one season. It has been found that homeless, stray cats go wild and destroy countless numbers of birds. In addition they are disease carriers and are not of nearly so much value a3 destroyers of rats 9 and mice as we have been led to be- * lieve. I am told that a bulletin is- t sued by the Government, containing t suggestions for reducing the rat a and mouse population, does not even t mention cats. n "The Audubon Society made an t effort to get an opinion of injury n done to bird life by cats in this State, d together with suggestions for pos- a ? -i -jwjulll.." tk.

Miss Jane Ervin of Trio spent the week-end at her home here. Miss Ruth Wilson entertained her friends of the younger set Fridaynight. Several interesting contests were entered into, after which a de lightful sweet course was served.

Mr M W Rodgers is also having an artesian well sunk at his home. Mr and Mrs Thos McCutchen and children of Kingstree and Mrs D E McCutchen visited Mrs H D Mun.nerlyn, Jr, at Hemingway Monday. Mrs M A Wilson, who visited relatives in Kingstree and Summerton last week, has returned home.
