Ooie Resigns to Go to Up per Fort of Btato Kershaw County Association Meeting. Pisgah, Oct. 17.?The cotton is nearly all picked and the crop is just as light as was expected. The price for it and the seed will help those having short crops to pay debts. Pcavine hay has been about saved? the crop is line, the best we over bad generally through the country. A ride through a portion of Kershaw county shows a fine system of roads credit? able to any country. The Supervisor, Mr. West, is an up to-date man and keeps the roads in all sections in fine order. It makes me ashamed to see a portion of our coun? try roads, especially, the Columbia road. Maybe we will have good roads some day. Rev. T. L. Cole has resigned his church here and will accept work in the upper portion of the State. The Kershaw Association meet with the Thorn Church seven miles from Kershaw Wednesday of this week and adjourned Thursday afternoon. Dr. Charles A. Jones, State Educational Secretary, and Rev. J. K.

The churches were fairly represented, and the whole session was marked by a high Christian tone and was very harmonious. J. E. DuPre was elected moderator, J. L. Cato clerk, and Mr. C. West, treasurer. The reports from the churches show that much good work was d> ne during the past association year. The next meeting will be at Beaver Dam church In October, 1916. Measures were put on foot for aggres? sive work next year. Thorn ahurch was named after an eminent layman who recently died. It is a pretty church in the midst of a line people who showed every attention to the pleasure of the delegates. The ladies had dinner both days and it was as fine and abundant as writer ever saw.

Uimblo ot Attend Peace Conference on Account of Illness?Wants Blind T??*ers Pot Out of Runners. J >ar.\ Corner, Oct. - Times are wrv craiel in 11 is corner. Everything Is moving along normal, farmers are] cutting hay and picking cotton these pretty warm days. Some eorn and peas have been gathered. Mr. Lawrence B. Lackey, formerly of tliis place, died at the Sumter alms house last Monday (the 11th) night and was burled at the Weeks' come tary near Pinewood last Wednesday. I was sorry that my health was such that I could not attend the In? ternational Peace Congress, which was to convene in Berkley and San Francisco, Cal., on tho 10th Inst, as Gov. Manning appointed me one of the delegates from South Carolina. But my health is very poor of late. I have been quite sick since I last wrote for the Watchman and Southron. I begin to feel myself again, so hope to claim my space a little oftener. Well, Mr. Editor, I was very much surprised at the large majority for] prohibition, but now the cry is the blind titters and the rich man's whisk? ey clubs." The latter, Gov. Manning informs me, have gone out of busi? ness, and the former will soon die, if no one feeds them. And I think the buyer is worse than the seller. Come now, Kind Reader, let's let tho tigers all starve. Don't feed them and then curse them for eating the feed, says "Hard Times.'' AHE YOUR KIDNEYS WELL? Many Sumter People Know the Im portance of Healthy Kidneys. The Kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. Well kidneys remove impurities. Weak kidneys allow impurities to multiply. No kidney ill should be neglected. There is possible danger in delay. If you have backache or urinary troubles, If you are nervous, dizzy or worn out, Begin trea'.ing your kidneys at once; Use a proven kidney remedy. None endorsed like Doan's Kidney Pills. Recommended by thousands. Proved by Sumter testimony. P. B. Braid, electrician, 18 K. Calhoun street, Sumter, says: "I suf? fered constantly from backache, and mornings was soro and stiff. I had headaches and dizzy spells. The kid? ney secretions caused me a lot of an? noyance by passing too freely. When I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills 1 Used them, and two boxes cured me."
