HOME GARDENING Last week a great deal of interest was aroused among the cotton mill operatives on home gardening by Prof. Jas. L. Carbery, the Department of Agriculture man from Winthrop College, who gave illustrated lectures at the Union and Excelsior Mills. Mr. Carbery pointed out clearly how much even a small fruck garden in the back yard would mean in better living and suggested a plan to establish a garden demonstrator in each mill village to follow up this work and to instruct the people in truck raising. A large and enthusiastic crowd attended these meetings which were made more interesting by stereopticon views. Mr. M. F. Storm, the local picture man, very kindly donated his services at both lectures and the Municipal Electric Light Company co-operated generously, it being necessary to do considerable electrical work at the West End School in connecting up the picture machine.

People are sometimes slow to recgnize true merit, and they cannot bo lamed, for so many have been humugged in the past. The experience f hundreds of Union residents, exressed publicly through newspapers 1 - * * iiu otner sources, places Doan's Kidey Pills on a firm foundation here. J. A. Chambers, 35 Gage Ave., Un>n, S. C., says: "I began to suffer om kidney trouble about five years go. The pain was mostly in my left idney and side. I had a too frequent ssire to pass the kidney secretions id the flow was scanty and distressg. When I heard of Doan's Kidney ills, I got a supply from the Paletto Drug Co. A few boxes corseted the trouble. It is a pleasure r me to recommend Doan's Kidney ills a second time. I still consider sis remedy a most reliable one for dney trouble.
