Practice in all Courts. Mon s ey to loan on City and Farn Property. SANTUC Santuc, S. C., Jan. 11, 1915?Dia you realize what a rapid gate the New Year had struck? Why it is a right smart size of a kid already. The schools all opened up and started business on the fourth. It is a right smart long stride between here and vacation for the scholars. Sunday was the only fair one for this month and the Sunday school here was well attended. The officers for the presnt year will be elected next third Sunday. Rev. Fulton filled his appointment at the Presbyterian church Sunday and preached a good sermon, to a good size and attentive congregation. While there is so much talk of a large amount of small grain being sown in the fall, it has turned out that the work was cut short. The wet weather stopped oat sowing, but spring oats can yet be planted, but several farmers bought seed wheat some have prepared land and yet the wheat is lying idle, and it is too late now to make a crop worth while. If those farmers grind it into flour it will be a very high priced article. After a blessing of a long absence of red foxes in this section, a family of them came and made their home hprp nhnnt ttirpp vrart nirn men sent to Missouri and bought sevoral. Now fox tracks can be seen quite often in various places, and when they are not wanted. They are cared for, petted and fondled in a way but are likely to prove a menace, or a curse to a greater number yet. The public roads are very muddy and cut up, and are in very bad condition for traveling. I am sorry to see that horse back riders, some of them have quit the roads in many places and have taken to the paths where "foot travelers" go and seem - to be trying to make the paths muddy and still further inconvenience the ones who walk. I would never quit the roads to ride even on ??country side-walk, tramping them up with horse feet. It is bad to get around on foot. I saw a runaway the other day. My brother had a pair of mules to run away or start, but soon ran on either side of a telephone post. The tongue striking the post, the post was of the tough home-made wagon knocked almost clear off the ground and broken snap ofF, a*jout ten feet above the ground and when it was 7 or 8 inches through. When the mules were running the reach pin was jolted out, but a chain held the hind wheels up and when the tongue struck, stopping the front part, the impetus of the hind part was so strong that it telescoped the front part and broke the heavy bound plat, to pieces. It might seem unbelievable that a pair of mules could run with such force that they could break off and knock up a big telephone post. The mules stopped when they struck it. It is sad to see old friends and acquaintances pass away, sad to many of us. It leaves a pang of regret, a kind of loneliness, even if se*ne diP1' 'tancc and a lapse of several ye&rs fTjy * separated us anu we seem almost strangers. But the memory of past years and friendly associations appeals to ones sympathy. I have experienced several of these old friends being taken away in the past few s weeks, to-wit: H. C. Little, Mrs. George W. Going, John I). Stokes and Frank YV. Whitlock. J. I). Stokes was reared within two miles of this place. I attended the same church and Sunday school with him and had business dealings with him and he always "* appeared a healthy, robust boy and young man, but was taken suddenly ill. ile had been located at Whitj more for several years and I scarcely saw him after he left this place. Mrs. George W. Going (nee Miss Annie Jeter) was reared near Wood's vvrry in wus lownsmp ana wnen a young woman she married S. S. Smith of Bogansville and some years after his death, she was married to Mr. George VV. Going. I have been a visitor at her home when she was - a girl and she was very thoughtful ' and entertaining, and was a most ' j charming hostess. She was possess' ed with great kindness of heart and ' ; sweet disposition and general attractiveness and was true to her friends and relatives and to herself ' and her God. i. H. C. Little (Camillus) 1 have i. known since, well before we were - men. When I first became acquainted J with him, for we were reared in widely different parts of the county?Ifelt the warmth of his genial friendship and as I thought the true honesty of the man. The active public life that he led often brought us in close relationship, i. e. the Sunday school t conventions, the associations, the Farmers' Alliance and his offerings for public oflicc, and to his rugged _ (may I say) truthfulness and honesty, I thought he had this, almost to I a peculiarity. He was a useful man to his county in very many different ways, and will be missed. F. M. Whitlock, whose sudden death last Monday afternoon was such a surprise and shock to us all, was a Union county man, having been reared on Broad river, but spent some years of his young manhood in Fairfield county, farming and, a while merchandising at Monticello. He married a Fairfield girl. lie moved I three years ago to this place and shared his lot with this people, be coming citizen by adoption. Of course he has been in feeble health I for some years hut before his health failed he was vigorous and active. I guess I felt an interest and nearness to Mr. Whitlock because he was for years correspondent to The Times under the non de plume of "Riverside Joe", and he was a very interesting writer too. Many of the read ers of The Times will rmember him. . These all four, to one who knew them going to their reward in such rapid succession, cause one to think. I I v NOW HER FRIENDS HARDLY KNOW HER But This Does Not Bother Mrs. Burton, Under the Circumstances. Houston, Texas.?In an interesting letter from this city, Mrs. S. C. Burton writes as follows: "I think it is my duty to tell you what your medicine, Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done for me. I was down sick with womanly trouble, and my mother advised several different treatments, but they didn't seem to do me any good. I lingered along for three or four months, and for three weeks, 1 was in bed, so sick 1 couldn't bear for any one to walk across the floor. My husband advised me to try Cardui, the woman's tonic. I have taken two ootties 01 uaraui, am xeeiing nr.e, gained 15 pounds and do all of my housework. Friends hardly know me, 1 am so well." If you suffer from any of the ailments so common to women, don't allow the trouble to become chronic. Begin taking Cardui to-day. It is purely vegetable, its ingredients acting in a gentle, natural way on the weakened womanly constitution. You run no risk in trying Cardui. It has been helping weak women back to health and strength for more than 50 years. It will help you. At all dealers. Write to: Chattanooga Medicine Co.. Ladles* Advisory Dept..

LW-B FESTIVAL DATES HAVE BEEN FIXED Musical Event in Spartanburg April 14-16?Noted Orchestra Conductor Will Play Again This Spring. In Columbia and throughout the State interest will be felt in plans being developed in Spartanburp for its annual music festival, whirh thic vnar will be held April 14, 15 and 16. Some weeks ago the Spartanburg Festival association met and emphatically and enthusiasticaly decided not to let the financial depression of the times interfere with this great musical event, in which not only the plucky and progressive Spartan city but the whole State feels a just pride. The Damrosch orchestra, which lias furnished the orchestral background for the festival for a number of years, but for sake of variety has been supplanted for a few seasons by the Metropolitan opera house orchestra, .las again been engaged,together with a number of very prominent vocal stars. That the festival, in spite of the war and the influences thereof, It-3$ ^--not auperior, to any, Ipf its predecessors is the positive assurance which comes from the directors. The spirit and pluck of the festival association and of the citizens of Spar tanburg were commended in an editorial paragraph in The State when the announcement was printed after the directors' meeting the first of December that "not until Gabriel blows his horn will the annual South Atlantic States music festival be discontinued or suspended."?The State.

Thaw was received this morning at the telegraph office ordering the company to pay E. H. G. Iteid, of Birmingham, Ala., $400. "Reid was waiting for the mesage and the money.

"Money is a little slack down my way, cotton won't sell, and I was stranded for a little cash in Kansas City. "I just wired Thaw, and this is the result." And Reid finished counting the money.
