GSTREE, S. C. RECORDS Pone HERE'S WHAT THE MINNEAPOLIS DAILY NEWS SAYS: "Experts from the laboratory of Thomas X. Edison, with the aid of Madam Marie Rappold, of the Metropolitan Opera Company, demonstrated Friday night in the Auditorium that the inventor has attained such perfection in reproducing the homan voice that it was actually impossible for a large invited audience to distinguish between the prima donna's voice and the Edison ReCreation of it." "Those in the audience familar with. Madam Rappold's voice were a trifle astonished?the voice they' heard seemed unquestionably hers, although they faced the visible evidence of her closed lips. Then Madam Rappold's lips opened, and her voice poured out. There were two voices in the Auditorium now. Here it became evident that, although Madam Rappold was singing, her voice was matched am perfectly by the voice in the cabinet that it was impossible to dtstlngafsh between the two." o We have in stock a nice selection of Framed Pictures which we are closing out at cost.

Though Eleanor's lips wore pressed together druilv, there was about her long-lashed eyes an expression of childlike appeal. Out of all the chaos of change, some sort of home must he saved for Eli>?ibetb, and how to make that home was Eleanor's problem. She had kept the country home as long as their small legacy would allow, and it had been 41. - M K - M mi Ua4UU LM1M1?onnAAfl lilt* mci ul r.ii?uut*in a uciyicaaucaa which prevented the elder sister from going to seek work in tho city. Beth had always been a frail little creature, with no positive ailment, and no strength of constitution. The lightest household tasks were all that had fallen to her share, cheerfully willing was the little sister, but pathetically incapable. Eleanor bad shouldered naturally the hardest part, the seamy side of living. Its material cares were borne in silence; anxiety also upon any subject was apt to put the child into a depression which was hard to dispel. The old home must be sold for what It would bring, and in the meantime, she. Eleanor, must go to the city to seek a position which later would supply their needs. Elizabeth could visit with one of their old neighbors until Eleanor should send for her. But with sweet obstinacy the little sister objected. "I will go when you go," she said. Reasoning was useless. "The room which will hold you will hold me also," Elizabeth insisted. So to the dingy room which Eleanor found she brought as many comforts as she conveniently could from the pleasant home which had been theirs. She was promptly successful in finding, through the Influence of one of her I father's friends, a position wmcn wonld grow In advantage with her own efficiency. It was comforting, returning at eve* nlng from an Indifferent world, to find Elizabeth waiting always In the lighted transformed room of the city boarding bouse. The old piano, which Eleanor had saved from the selling gave to the little sister many hours of pleasure. It was usually seated before this instrument that Eleanor found her, the little hands touching with loving harmony the yellowed keys. "What do you do to amuse yourself all day, dear?" Eleanor asked one evening. "These four narrow walls inclose so little." Beth with one of her gay laughs dropped down resting her head against her sister's knees. "These four walls," she replied, "Inclose my whole world?that is yourself, Nell,' and my music. For when you are not here I am dreaming of all that you have been to me, and of all that 1 would wish for you in the future." The girl raised her face slowly. "And when my wishing grows too great for ray heart to hold I voice It all in music. Wait?" She ran to the nlnnn end Hushed off a brilliant intro (taction. "Listen," said Beth. This is your | love souk." I Eleanor's tired face brightened. "Yon are a wizard, Beth," she said. ' "You can drive dull care away." It was the appearance of the man ! which disturbed Nell's serenity and j brougiit fier to her disquieting fears. | She had found him in the cozy room upon her return one evening. He was hanging over Elizabeth at her piano with an air of very evident adoration. Rebellion at his intrusion possessed the elder sister. Who was he to entfcr into the quiet of their home with Ids daring admiration? Elizabeth explained the stranger's | presence easily. j "A neighbor of onrs who lives in the I big room across the hall, Nell," she Introduced. "Mr. Shaw is his name and Mrs. Brandon brought him in to meet me." "At my request," the man added smilingly, but Nell did not smile. Elizabeth's eyes were sparkling, her cheeks were flushed with some new excitement. / Long had she guarded the frail little iister lest love finding Elizabeth might pass on to her hurt. True love comes not always; her charge must suffer no grief. Leonard Shaw's personality was one to inspire confidence, his manner one of frank charm. Nell's heart sank within her as she found him oftener at her sister's side. Sometimes he would walk d >wn the block In order to meet Eleanor and return with her. To the elder sister these evening boors brought a mixture of pain and pleasure. Then at last she faced the troth: Her resentment against Elizabeth's evident approaching happiness was not apprehension for her sister's welfare, rather was it a regretful cry from all her years of sacrifice. Was the growing selfish now? Had she not always chosen for Elizabeth "the better part?" "Dear," cried Elizabeth, "Leonard Shaw was at the piano tonight," and Beth bent above her sister, speaking In breathless whispers. "I can keep the secret no longer. Mr. Shaw Is the writer of popular songs. He heard me singing and that is why he asked Mrs. Brandon to bring him in. My songs are popular, too, Nell; do you understand? Mr. Shaw can sell them?for lots of money?he knows. So my wish for you is coming true, even the love part." Beth turned mischievously toward the unconscious musician. "He adores yr.u Nell! Obf You needn't tare. I know. Don't you tell ine rourwlf that I am a wizard?" BACK ON THE JOB THANKS TO nREffl IV VI1MVV Anderson, S. C. Man was Forced to Lay Off on Account of Backache and Kidney Trouble. Weil Again "I had to lay off from my work on account of the pains over my kid- , seys and in my legs. My stomach was also in bad . shape, and gave much trouble by swelling up with sour gas, and I frequently had swimming in the head, but Dreco, the newv medicine, has stopped all my troubles, and I'm now able to work regular again, and I give all the credit to this good medicine;" said T. E. Mullinax, of C St., Anderson, S. C. Thousands of people are needlessly suffering from disorders of the stomach, blood, liver, bowels and kidneys. Relief is within reach of all. Many have found deliverance from their suffering through the use of Dreco: the great herbal system tonic, which is compounded from Nature's own remedies?roots, herbs barks and berries, which are necessary to health. That is why it regenerates the blood, overcomes rheumatism; eliminates catarrh; putf the stomach in good condition and relieves constipation. Dreco is widely sold throughout the country and is highly recommended in Kingstree by the Kingstree Drug Company. ??^?????

Is it listened to with interest enough for its dictations to be plainly under'* 1 ? T - *A j lit f L/vca f\ StOO(l : is jt neeucu uy uw.n. both hear and understand? The voice of God is heard by so many who fly up in His face to ignore Him and ^ !*ave not interest enough in His voice * to even put forth an effort to understand it. The voice of God from withcn^nlfinfr to that.which is uiihin man, is never heard by some, ? because they have stopped up and clogged up their spiritual ears, wounding their consciences and going to the extent of committing a spiritual suicide of conscience relative to right and wrong, and sadly they go on from bad to worse. There are still those of us who both hear and understand the voice of God, but will persist in disobeying and ignoring its dictations. The voice of God is speaking to us in our vocational business, social and spiritual lives, and if we heed that voice we will be instrumental in bringing blessings from above. Then will the "greatest good" be done to the greatest number and in tfiat acx the world will help men to feel that life is worth living. God holds every man responsible to help make this world better. "Brighten the Corner Where You Are". Every one should ask himself this question: "Whatam I doing for Jesus as the days go by?"
