FIRM FOUNDATION Nothing Can Undermine it In Union People are sometimes slow to recognize true merit, and they cannot be blamed, for so many have been humbugged in the past. The experience of hundreds of Union residents, expressed publicly through newspapers and other sources, places Doan's kidney Pills on a firm foundation here. J. A. Chambers, 35 Gage Ave., Union, S. G., says: "I began to suffer from kidney trouble about five years ago. The pain was mostly in my left kidney and side. I had a too frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions and the flow was scanty and listressing. When I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a supply from the Palmetto Drug Co. A few boxes corrected the trouble. It is a pleasure for me to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills a second time. I still consider this remedy a most reliable nne for kidney trouble."

SPECIAL NOTICE All goods not called for in 30 days will be sold for repairs. W. Newell Smith Auto Co. tf Union, S. C. The Ice Water Cooler. From the St. Louis Republic. How dear to our hearts is the ice water cooler When medical science presents it to view! It isn't the menace to health we imagined, And the evil things said if it never were true, The doctors out East are advisng their patients To drink all the ice water they can consume, And they say the old storm about it was nothing But the work of some old unreliable gloom. The ice water cooler, The frost covered cooler, The much abused cooler That sits on *a chair. The New York department of health has repented, And urges ice water wherever it can; It says there is nothing so good in hot weather, And therefore removes its rediculous ban. In medical science, they say, it must follow That if cold drives the heat from exterior parts It must do the same for the region internal, And there, so we read, the awakening starts. In very hot weather, says medical science, Whatever refreshes and cools 'us is good, And we havn't been giving the ice water cooler For some cause of other the credit we should. Some old-fashioned croaker project ed the rumor That ice water hurt us, and gave us a fright, And it's taken us ages, with science assisting, To settle the matter and settle it fight. SANTUC There was a mad dog killed in our town Monday. It had done no harm that is known before it was called on to "send in its chips." A negro man killed the dog, after it had already been shot by some white men. There have been a lot of mad dogs through our section this year and many dogs were known to have been bitten Vs dogs that were mad; sotne of tb^jJt were. killed but others I haVe Dcen told were not. Some of our sportingmen are preparing for chasing fo&es in the not distant future. They have had s?nt to them lately, by express, five foxes from Missouri. These young ones. For quite a number of years there were no foxes around here at all, and about two or three years ago, two took up abode in some of the big wide hollows that part of this country is blessed with, and some men who had been fox hunting got a taste of it again, and that led up to this present preparation for more chasing of foxes. They let the dogs outrun them last winter, and killed the mother fox, and they just imported a few. I attended the County Baptist Association which was in session at Padgetts Creek church, Aug. 27-28. I enjoyed the meeting highly, and got a whole lot of good stuff in the way of good points of information, and knowledge, etc., tucked it away somewhere and it will beat the trunk full of promises that I have had given me at one time or another. That was the only vacation that I have had and a real nice time I did have. It might have been better?I wanted to talk to the girls so bad (if I am O. B.) but the housewives treated me too kindly, they made me sick. The dinner on the grpunds was, as the negroes say "an over plush" and as one of my weaknesses is a fondness for sweet things (even those that can walk self-propelling) and talking too much of one kind handicapped me as to taking enough of the other, and as to that I am hungry now. I wonder what my jolly young friend S? thinks of that. Dropping jokes, it was a profitable vacation for me. 1 met quite a number of old friends whom I had not seen in quite a while. Some young ladies I admire very much and men, young and old and older, some who have attained their three score years and ten, one especially, who has passed four score milestone, and as time is so fleetimr. I wondered if many of us will over be permitted to meet again. That was the kind of sadness that sort of crept over me, for I would like very much to go over there on a plain simple visit, but can't, my time is so short. I believe every one hud a fine time. The meeting was good and not longfaced, for there were some lively cheerful fellows and business spiced with some jollity and then there was so much to learn, and I wondered too why it was that so many churches had no representative there, why' a church could not find one who would go?some perhaps could get no way to go?and you can often see and read where church members are taking such active parts contributing to t society functions, society functions. Any section ought to be glad to get these kind of meetings of all i christian denominations in their community and try to season their taste. That Sedalia and Cross Keys country is a fine section, socially and every other way. You had better get acquainted with it, if not already. Mr. F. M. Whitlock, is on a visit to relatives at Jonesville. He has also been on a visit to his son, Rev. Mr. Whitlock at Saluda. Mrs. Moss, of Grover, N. C., and Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Hardin, of Charlotte, N. C., made a short visit to relatives at this place. Miss Rebecca McJunkin, of Dallas, Texas, daughter of the late Dr. S. W. McJunkin, a native of this town, but who married in Texas, made a short visit to her aunt, Mrs. H. C. Jeter' and her cousin, Mrs. J. McJ. Fant this week. Miss Hattie Moss, who has been on her vacation, at her parents, Mr. and Mrs. K. E. Moss, has returned to her duties as teacher of music. Miss Flossie Whitlock is up In Martinsville, Va., visiting her sister, Mrs. C. T. Miller. Miss Dot Moss, who has been on an extended Visit to relatives at Asheville, N. C., is now at home. Hey Denver. POOR OLD SPARTANBURG IN HANDS OF PHILISTINES Splendid City in the Hands of Cheap Politicians, Who Encourage Lawlessness and Vice. (Spartanburg Journal) A visitor was in the city this week She had been spending several weeks in various places. She stated that as a progressive town in the mosquito business Spartanburg stood at the head. She saw more here than in all the other places she had visited. The city council no doubt thinks that high praise, for it has been their aim to rank first and stand at the head. Another thing no doubt is well pleasing to them. A business man was recently passing through the state. He met several men who had visited this place. They asked how certain moral institutions on the most Dublic streets were flourishing. These occasional visitors put Spartanburg at the top for open, well-advertised houses of vice and degredation. But ^he city council is indifferent and not J1 of them knows anything about such places. Then abroad the town has the reputation for standing head in the sale of whiskey and beer. It is not unusual to see a half dozen or more men going into one of these iplaces where drinks are sold. They go in crowds and keep going. Yet the city council takes pride In keeping the town wide open to all sorts of social evils. Two-thirds of the white men and women of the city are opposed to this condition, but they submit tamely and endure the evils imposed on them and subject their boys and girls to all the dangers to which they are daily exposed. This seems to be the age when money rises above patriotism and It has more influence in shaping governmental matters than the welfare of all the people. It is a bad eminence for a state or a city to stand at the head by opening wide the doors to the lawless class.
