KELTON Kelton, June 19.?We have had another cold spell which is another set back to our little cotton. All kinds of crops are very late and small all the way to Washington. Wheat promises fair yields around Salisbury, N. C. If there was any tobacco planted it was so small I couldn't see it .from the passing train. I saw some pastures in Virginia with some fine cattle in them; very few Irish potato j patches. I saw a Veteran from Tennessee who said there were three times as many Irish potatoes planted in nis country than usually was. 1 j was also talking with a man from, South Florida who said the truck' farmers there had gotten rich this! year. He said good farmers had made ; on Irish potatoes alone from one thou-! sand to fourteen hundred dollars per acre. While I was in Washington I got a peep at our president. Some one while the South Carolina division was passing the grand stand made a rush to shake hands with president but only fairly got started before a secret service man had his arms around him. He should have known better. McKinley was assassinated just in that way. While I do not think the man was intent to shake hands with the president but guard couldn't take any chances. I did not go up on the Washington monument. I went there twice but failed to get in on account of the crowd being so large. At Arlington at the camp I saw our young soldiers drilling, or I would call it training. In our Civl war we hao no such training as they have now. We got our exercise running around -f-rvTv, ' . V,... UHC (Jiatc lU itllUUlLT lOOKing ai- I ter the Yankees. The printers in my last little writeup pot it a little mixed up, but I am i not complaining with them for on one occasion I commenced to write and by some had to stop until next day to finish and I thought I would read i what had already written and could 1 not read all I had written, so I can i give those boys who set the type all the credit for doing so welL I just think they think what I want to i say and put it in. Children's Day came off at Foster Chapel last Sunday evening. The children all did their part well and showed that they had been well trained and < much credit is due to all who took a part. The church, which seats about six hunred persons, was filled to overflowing and don't know that all got in. About sun down they began to pour in from all directions. This service was a Methodist one but all denominations took a part in the evercise. How beautiful it is to see all Christians working together for the advancement of the Ltord's kingdom here below. The colored Methodists held their Children's Day also Sunday and I learn there was a large gathering of; people present and their exercises I were well carried out. I don't how to put children's day of a night. In 1886 when' the great earthquake shook , South Carolina at a negro meeting one brother cried out it was judgment day. An old sister said no, whoever heard of judgment day coming at' night. All the young ladies from the Ridge who have been teaching and the girls and boys who have been off to schools are home for the summer vacation. Miss Mattie Gamer of Kelton left today for Rock Hill to attend the summer school for teachprs A very old and respected negro woman died last week, Jane Gault. She had been living with Mrs. Nancy Ann Fowler for many years. She was an ex-slave and belonged to Joseph Gault. G. T. G. A CHILD'S TONGUE SHOWS IF LIVER OR BOWELS ARE ACTIVE If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Ililious, Give Fruit Laxative at Once. Every mother realizes, after giving her children "California Syup of Figs," that this is their ideal laxative, hecause they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little ' stomach, liver and bowels without griping. When cross, irritable, feverish or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, Mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless "truit laxative," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and : undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. When its little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic?remember, a good "inside cleansing" should always be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep "California Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of | Figs," which has directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups ( printed on the bottle. Beware of coun- i terfeits sold here, so don't be fooled. Get the genuine, made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Credulous people, like musical in struments, are frequently played upen. Matrimony is a catch?as many an ex-bachelor has discovered to his sorrow. Though money talks, it doesn't always make a satisfactory financial statement.

C. Volunteers, in the trenches in front of Petersburg, Va. It was the second day of the siege of Petersburg. It was a hot day and the battle was a hot one and resulted in victory for the Confederate arms. We lost but one man in our company and that man was poor Abe Dunawa.v. He f?>ll at my feet with a bullet hoio through his head. I stood in the trench and fired my gun unril :t was so hot ! had to lay it down for awhile anrt let it cool. I will say to the boys who are going over to France to fight the Germans that you will find it much more preferable to fight in trenches than in the open, but I had rather not fight at all. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Harris and children and B. F. Harris of Brown's Creek spent Sunday in Jonesville with the family of W. II. S. Harris and attended the meetings at the Methodist church. Fat backs is pretty high in our country but is just about half as high as dried horse and mule meat is over in the war zone of Europe. Quite a number of people in the surrounding country are attending the revival meeting here. Miss Josephine Rogers of Atlanta is the guest of her sister, Mrs. M. W. Chambers. I note what Editor Rice said in the editorial colmn of The Times last week about the German kaiser praying for success; that he prays fervently that the German arms may be successful and that the trouble of war prayers that they are prone to express self will and greed hence they can find no response in the will of heaven. Well, of course, our war prayers and many other prayers are made for greed and in the interest of selfishness. We people of the South lost out in our prayers in time of our war in the sixties and it was trying to our faith to fight and pray as we did and then lose out but we should remember that we should always pray with an if; yes, if it is God's will. If the allies and the Germans both pray for success both can't be granted. If it is God's will that one or the other shall succeed why that side will be sure to succeed. I am constantly praying for the German kaiser, but it is that he may be badly whipped and run out of France and Belgium and that his flag may go down in defeat and that he may meet his fate, but the question is, am I right and is it consistent with God's will? If so, it will end that way; otherwise it will not. The crop prospect in this community is not at all good but the farmers, are working and hoping. Mrs. J. C. Edwards of Union visited Mrs. E. L. Littlejohn Friday and Saturday. Mr. John A. Hames of Rehoboth was in Jonesville on business Saturday. Mr. Claud L. Smith and Miss Mozell Wheeler, hoth of Jonesville, were I married by W. II. S. Harris at his home on Main street Saturday evening. In thq automobile contest at the Jonesville Drug company which endded May 31st Mr. J. L. McKinney was the winner. There is another contest on for an automobile and so the end is not yet. There are contests after contests. Some about something and some about other things. Dr. M. W. Chambers, who has been at Spartanburg for treatment for some time, is at home again. The meeting at the Methodist church continued through last week with much interest. Rev. Walt IIolcomb, the great evangelist, was booked for every day but on account of the illness of his wife in Georgia he did not arrive until Monday morning. Rev. J. D. Swargetery. who came a week ago to do the singing and who is also a preacher, has been lnnrHn(r f lift IVUUIM^ V..V, OKU UUIII^ Kit' preaching and while he is a fine singer he is a very good preacher also. The meeting is expected to continue for several days yet. The services don't conflict much with business, as only one service is held in the day, 3:30 p. m., and one at night. Rev. Mr. Holcomb, the evangelist, came in Monday morning and took charge of the meeting and preached at 3:80 and 8:00 p. m. The meeting was held the past week in the Methodist church but Monday evening it was moved to the armory building for the rest of the meeting. Telephone. LEMONS MAKE SKIN WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR Make This Beauty Ix?tion for a Few Cents and See for Yourself. What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove (complexion blemishes; to whiten the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp pets pets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands i it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the skin. Any druppist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons.
