COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT. j "Uncle John** Tells About Good 1 Things In His Neighborhood. "I see you say that every feller oughta aim to have at least one of the best things in his neghborhood," said Uncle John, as he dropped in J for his regular Saturday afternoon visit. "Me an' some o' the neighbors," he continued, "was a-talkin' about what you had to say. an' then j we started in to see whether all of I us wuz a-livin' up to your advice. ( "Taylor Welch led off by sayin': . *Fer be it from me, fellers, to brag; j but if my waterworks system, with i runnin' water in my wife's kitchen, 1 - '? - ?' - ? itk at tne oarn an iu mj uiavnsiuivu : shop, don't beat anything round ; these parts, then I've got nothin' . more to say.' < " 'Maybe so, maybe so,' said Rig- < gie Jefcoat; 'before I disagree with a word you say, I'll have to look them waterworks over. Fact is, I'm i figgerin' ^n an auto an' waterwonks < both, anvcan't decide which to put in first. Since you like 'em so well, though, I guess I'll have to get the waterworks first. In the meantime, ' speakin' o' something fine, I invite you all up to look at my mule colts, u If you think you've got anything to s beat 'em, jest bring it along.' " 'I grant your waterworks an' your mules '11 do very well,' says Charley Welch, 'but have you 9een 1 how I'm drainin' them reedbrakes and swamps on the lower part of my place? Finest corn I ever saw I raised last year on some of this < drained land, an' this year i m aoin a lot of this work. If you want to ' see some pretty work, come down. i " 'I guess they's some difference i between braggin' an' ju >t tellin' the ' plain truth," said John Wesley, 'an' 1 its only a fact, I think, that my new 1 house makes about the prettiest l farm home hereabouts. Further- i more, I claim that them twins at my house don't have their equal in Jones county.' "Another feller's cows and hogs i had walked off with blue ribbons at i the county fair; another feller's boy i had beat the county makin' corn; i an' first one thing an' then another, j With fine stock, drained and ter- : raced fields, good roads, waterworks, i pretty homes an' pretty babies, this ol' community ain't fer behind the i best they is. So that's what I'm i a-tellin' everybody?that fer fine i folks an' all-round progress an' git- | there, our neighborhood is a cracKerjack. An' then you see, we, havin' got sich a fine reputation, have jest naturally got to live up to it."?The Progressive Fanner. Baptist Union Meeting. Trio, April 10:?The Georgetown and Williamsburg Union will meet with Bethany Baptist church Friday, April 28, at 11 o'clock. The introductory 9ermon will be preached by J C Cullam and the following programme carried out: 1 First query: Which is more bene- ] ficial, a revival conducted by an < Evangelist or one by the Pastor?

I fcThe War Brings Them Wealth. It has been brought to light that the DuPont Powder company, which I recently established at Georgetown 1 the only wood alcohol factory in the < South, nowemploys 66,000 workmen 1 in place of the 4,000 with the con- < cern when the European war broke i out and the company existed with 1 the orders of our peaceful popula- < tion. It is also stated that this company has made in the last 18 months i $75,000,000 besides expending an additional $50,000,000 on new buildings. This is an enormous fortune 1 for some one, and it seems but nat- 1 ural that those for whom the war 1 god9 have lavished their orders < should desire more favors from the i lap of the world's destructiveness. i Avoid Spring Colds. !

Skin foods and face creams and xnvders cannot make a woman beautiful, because lieauty lies deeper than that?it depends on health, in most cases the basis of health md the cause of sickness can be [raced to the action of the l>owels. The headache, the lassitude, the sallow skin, and the lusterless eyes ire usually caused by constipation. An id mil rpnipdv for women. and one that is especially suited to their delicate organisms, is found in I)r Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a mild laxative compound, pleasant to the taste and free from opiates and narcotic drugs of every description. Mrs Gertrude Jordan, 522 North Liberty St, Indianapolis, Ind, says: "It is simply tine; I have never l>een able to find anything to compare with I)r Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

Cedar Swamp, April 4:?Last Friday and Saturday were ideal days, balmy and spring-like, typical of what it is hoped that April 7 and 8 may be, the same being Field day. It is not only expected thatthe children who have a part in the programme will be present, but it is also incumbent on the parents to provide means for the other scholars to reach Kingstree to assist in boosting the school which is dearest to them. The weather thus far has been exceedingly propitious to farmers, and they are, or should be, (to use our rural ver nacular) plumb up with the work, so there is no excuse for the parents at Cedar Swamp or anywhere else not (riving the bright, energetic little fellows a chance to attend these exercises. The baseball fans are busy in our midst. In fact, they have already played the opening game of the season with the Beaulah team and are planning to schedule aseries of games with neighboring clubs. Messrs John Cunningham and White Courtenay, two of our progressive young farmers, are taking advantage of the copious showers that fell yesterday and are transplanting tobacco. "The early bird gets the worm." Mr Edwin Epps of Kingstree was a welcome visitor here Sunday. He worshiped with the congregation at the Methodist church in the morning. Folk here are talking about the McLendon meeting to take place in Kingstree. Notwithstanding the iate will conflict with cotton and tobacco planting, when the farmers' attention is needed,a good many are planning to attend some of the serv ices. w t s. 3E CAREFUL AFTER FEVER,COLD OR GRIP Many Fatal Cases of Kidney Trouble Can Be Traced to Some Infectious Disease. Colds, fevers and infectious dis?ases very * often leave the kidneys areak. 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 hardlenough 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 people have found Doan's reliable in many forms of kidney trouble. Here's a Kingstree woman's experience: Mrs S H DuBf.se, Kingstree. says: "A spell of la grippe weakened my kidneys, and hiv b?.ck began to ache terribly. 1 could hardly turn over in bed,I was so sore and lame. I tired easily and could hardly do my house work. I suffered from dizzy spells ind the kidney secretions, being irregular in passage, annoyed me con-1 riderably. When I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills I got some at he Scott Drue Co's. Two boxes rured me." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't limply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same thai mred Mrs DuBose. Foster-Milburn Zo, Props, Buffalo, N Y.

New Zion, April 4:?Mrs M Verline Evans died at the home of her son, J S Evans, in the Workman section j of Clarendon county Thursday night, March 30. The deceased was nearly ninety-one years of age and had been in good health for one of her age until the 21st of March when she fell and broke her right arm. She was thought to be rapidly recovering from the effects of the fall when suddenly the end came. nirs uvniis w as wit .. .. ! Daniel Epps Evans, who died while a soldier in the Confederate army at Lynchburg, Va, in 1864. She is survived by one son, J S Evans, with whom she lived; four daughters, Mrs J D Epps and Mrs G D Smith of New Zion, Mrs J R Mayes of Mayesville and Mrs S M Reardon of Manning. Also one brother, H H Kinder of Kingstree, and twenty-six grandchildren and thirty-four greatgrandchildren. Mrs Evans was a devout Christian and for more than seventy-five years was a consistent member of Midway Presbyterian church, in the vicinity of which her whole life was spent in the service of God and doing good unto her neighbors. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev W H Workman, at Midway church Saturday morning at 11 o'clock. Safe ledlclne for Children. "Is it safe?" is the first question to be considered when buying a cough medicine for children. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has long been a favorite with mothersofyoung children, as it contains no opium or other narcotic, and may he given to a child as confidently as to an adult.' It is pleasant to take,too,which is of great importance when a medicine must be given to young children. This remedy is most effectual in relieving coughs,colds and croup.
