Robertson, the com mander-in-chief of the forces in the recent y. m. c. A*, campaign has re? ceived from Secretary R. H. King of the Charleston y. m. c. a. who is also In Charge Of the Southern Inter City y. M| c. A. contest, a letter in which Mr. King congratulates the Sumter y. M. c. A. on the excellent showing it made in the campaign. The letter is in answer to ono from Mr. Robertson protesting against the handicap in the campaign. It is as follows' Mr. W. f. Robertson, Sumter, S. C. Dear Mr. Robertson: 1 have yours of April 7th and I want to heartily congratulate you upon the excellent record made by Sumter in the recent Inter-City Cam? paign. As a matter of fact up to the pres? ent year no city with a white male population of less tnan 5,000 (that is to say, much less) had ever even con? sidered entering the Inter-City Cam-1 palgn, The handicap list was there? fore arranged to make the race easier for SO small a city ss Greenville or Greensboro. You can therefore un? derstand why it is that the handicap did not help you very much. What Will be done for the future 1 confess none of us know, but every year for the past six, problem! have present? ed themselves and in some way we j have been able to meet them and con? tinue the use of this plan to all con? cerned. When you bear in mind thy above fact that we only expected cities as small as Greenville, I do not think we feel so badly on our handi? cap. In confidence I may say that an? other serious problem is to get such a clear understanding of the rules gov? erning the campaign as will result in more equalised scores as a rule. Your Mi Birehard has sometime since received notice that a meeting would be held In Columbia April 14th 10 a. m.i Y. M. C. A. building. At this time and place all of the cities in? terested will set up the rules for next year and if the rules do not syit Sumter, it will not be because we have not all tried to make the plan helpful to all. Personally, I am hoping that you will be able to be with us along with Mr. Birehard. With best wishes, I am, Your fraternally, , R. Hi King. ? - WILL REPRESENT HIGH SOHOOL.

And For Three Summers Mrs, Vin? cent Was Unable to Attend to Any of Her Housework. Pleasant Hill, N. C?"I suffered for three summers," writes Mrs. Walter Vincent, of this town, "and the third and last time, was my worst. 1 had dreadful nervous headaches and prostration, and was scarcely able to walk about. Could not do any of my housework. I also had dreadful pains in my bade and sides and when one of those weak, sinking spells would come on me, I would have to give up and lie down, until it wore off. I was certainly in a dreadful state of health, when I finally decided to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I firmly believ 2 I v;ouId have died if I hadn't taken it. f After I began taking Cardui, I was greatly helped, and all three bottles re? lieved me entirely. I fattened up, and grew so much stronger in three months, I felt like an? other person altogether." Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic effect, on the womanly constitution. Cardui makes for increased strength, improves the appetite, tones up the ner? vous system, and hslps to make pale, sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy. Cardui has helped more than a million weak women, during lha past 50 years. It will surely do for you, what it has done for them. Try Cardui today.
