The Chamber of Commerce secre tsry gave out the following today: Two or three boys will address the meeting regarding what the boys think the men of the city and country owe to the boys of the county. The purpose of this meeting is to make the people realise that there are certain things that we stand for, although there la a great world crisis upon us. One of those is the educa? tion of the people. If we are to keep what we have, we must not take a single step backward in educational progress. There Is grave danger that we may lose our bearings and forget that there is a future to our country and this future is going to be deter? mined by the generation that is now in the formative period of its life. We may decline to send our boys and girls to school and to college be? cause of the world war. If education has ever been worth while, it is worth more today than ev? er. In years to come the world will need, as It has never needed, the ser? vices of men thoroughly equipped. It is Imperative, therefore, that we do not fall In our duty now, because we happen to be living In unusual times. It Is sincerely desired that thin movement for the conservation of our educational forces may become nui only state-wide, but nation-wide, and that In every county in this nation there may be held meetings for the purpose of bringing home to our peo? ple the necessity of not taking a single backward ?tep in the education of the Individual or of the public at large. Let every community place It? self on record that our children, our young women, and our young men. shall not suffer In their educational equipment although we are engaged In a great world conflict. I am sending this Information to papers which represent so many thousands of South Carolinians, and represents progress, humanity, and civilisation in the hope that the ed itors will find this movement of suffi? cient Importance to further the cause by publication, and perhaps by edi? torial endorsement to the end that other counties through their Cham? bers of Commerce and educational boards and schools may join the ranks for the conservation of education, and that strife, parasitical commercialism, and international hatred, breeders of false econniy, and leaders of deter loratlon may not cripple the schools and the colleges, and rob many boys and girls of their Qod-given and con? stitutional rights to an education.

Junt after this heavy rain, a terrific electric storm occurred which set on lire two largo barns, one belonging to Mr. a. f. Smith, the other to Mr. a C. Thompson. Roth these structures were completely destroyed, together with their contents. The barn be? longing to Mr. Smith was filled with hay and wheat, which were destroy? ed, besides about 150 bushels of corn stored in tho barn. There was no li rurance on this building. Ths barn of Mr. Thompson was struck by lighthing about five min? utes after the other barn had caught.

Mr. Wallace numbered his friends hcie by the hundreds, and for many years was prominently identilied with Charleston's business interests.

He also was president of the Charleston-Edison Phonograph com? pany. Mr. Wallace took an active Interest in public affairs, serving in the legisla? ture, on the board of control of the dispensary, and in many other ways identifying himself with the business political, fraternal and social life of Charleston.

IS IT ".Jl'ST A COLD"? gggglgf fgnptS Should Ask Themselves Tills Question. Don't say: "It's just a cold." It may turn into backache, rheu? matic aches, achy joints. Or other serious sickness that comes from weak kidneys. Colds are due to congestion. Congestion makes the kidneys over? work to filter the blood. Colds often leave the kidneys weak.

I had dizzy headaches and the kidney secretions annoyed me by passing too freely. The least cold 1 caught settled on my kidneys and made me worse.
