LOCKHART I '4 Lockhart, July 16.?The people of our town raise their own beans, tomatoes and cabbage, and now we are making our own ice. The company is having a skylight placed on the new mill, so we are to have more light. Messrs. IJen Carter and Sam McCuiins have been on the sick list for several days. We are glad to report they are able to be up again. Mrs. J. T. I.ittlejohn and Mrs. .T. O.' Sparks visited friends in Spartanburg ! last week. Our good friend, J. M. Austin, says nobody ought to plant a garden unless they have an almanac. After spending several days with' friends here Miss Bernice Douglas has j returned to her home in Union. Lockhart had a "clean-up" days not' long since. All the back yards and alleys were put in good order. We be- \ lievc every home ought to have a waste box or barrel to put all tin' cans, old papers and trash in. Tin caps thrown out in a back yard or alley will soon he filled v.'ith water then the mosquito is raised and soon puts its poison in the human blood, then chills and fever follow. Mr. and M rs. CiiTord Lewis are off] on a vacation for ten days or two weeks. There are several new houses going up in our town. Many of our houses here have beautiful flowers. Why not every home have a few flowers, like Jam Jones'. I love religion and flowers. Our tomatoes rot before they get ripe; U must be because we did not I have an almanac when we planted them. Mr. Frank Inman must be the most popular man in town. People from Union and Jonesville are here every week to take him to ride, and they always are in new cars. Mrs. Pink Mathis was operated on here last Thursday by Dr. Steedley of Spartanburg. She is doing nicely now and we hope she will soon be well again. Mrs. H. B. Wylie has been sick for some days. We pray for her speedy recovery. Mr. J. R. Jarmanus is the new clerk in the company store. Mr. J. B. Step is now the assistant barber. It takes three men to do the barber work of our town. Miss Minnie Lanford of Laurens is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. T. L/ittlejohn. Mrs. Carrie Brooks of Union has been on a visit to her brother, Mr. Sam Huphey. Miss Jennie Lockman is visiting friends in Columbia this week. There were two wagons of watermelons sold on the streets Saturday, the first this season. The melons sold at a fancy price. The Womans Missionary society of the 2nd division of Union association held their quarterly meeting with the Baptist church here Sunday. There was much interest manifested, the day j being pleasant and profitable. The Methodist church observed j cmuiren's Day Sunday evening. The children did well, and the exercises were enjoyed by all who attended. Dr. W. M. Whiteside of Spartanburg is spending a few <lays with Rev. J. T. Littlejohn, and preached for the Baptist people Sunday evening. Dr. Whiteside is a very pleasing speaker. WONDERFUL STUFF! LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS Apply a Few Drops Then Lift Corns or Calluses Off With Fingers. No Pain. No humbug! Any corn, whether hard, soft of between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without a particle of pain or soreness. This drug is called freezone and is a compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man. Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid nno's feet of every corn or callus. Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears and shortly the corn or callus will loosen and can be lifted off with the fingers. This drug freezone doesn't eat out the corns or calluses but shrivels them without even irritating the surrounding skin. Just think! No pain at all; no soreness or smarting when applying it or afterwards. If your druggist don't have freezone have him order it for you. CITATION TO KINDRED AND CREDITORS By Hon. W. W.

The weather keeps threatening but the clouds pass away without any rain and it is a very critical period in the stage of a great deal of cotton and < orn. In the first place there was a great deal of fertilizers used and cotton is late and can not wait for rain long without a serious loss to the farmers and old corn is going out very fast the last two or three days, especially today the wind has blown almost continuously day and night for several days and every progressive farmer knows the damage that hot winds do to growing crops. I see ! old cotton is getting full of fruit and the leaves turning yellow and even falling off and the cotton not even knee high. If it does not rain soon planted over cotton will be much beter than the first planting if we have late seasons. I was in Union last Saturday and enjoyed being with my old friends and also my young ones. How I hate to meet so many young people who know me speak, calling my name anu I do not know them. That is always fho rasp, f ho vnnncr Vnmv a1/1 1i?? + the old do not know the young ones. Sometimes young ladies meet me travelling on the roads and on the street, speak, calling me by name and how I hate it if I am not an old bachelor or a widower. War is all the talk now. I have been looking and expecting to see those fellows who talked war so much before our country got into it and seemed to fear we would not get in it that when we did get in it they would go in a rush to get in, but I have got my first one of them that I had an eye on to enlist. No, my readers, our people do not want to go across the waters to fight, but let the Germans or any other nation come over here and meddle with our business and you will see what the Americans will do. You take out the colonels, captains, etc., or those who expect to be and there arc few left. Take those old Confederates at the reunion and how many are wearing stars or bars on their coats. If they were all officers few of them, comparatively, were were killed during the war. I met one of my company in Dallas, Texas, who was only a private with a big star on the lapel of his coat. I guess he wanted to look like an officer but was ashamed to tack the star on his collar. I have a grey suit made out of the same goods that Confederate officers wore and I don't feel right with it on because I know that privates wore no such goods in the war. Mr. Wallace I.awson of Elington, N. C., is visiting his friends on the Ridge and he and Mrs. I.awson are visiting at Mr. J. B. Gault's today. Mr. Ix?e Kelly and Mr. J. M. Gault with a few of his children from Jonesville motored down in the Flat Rock community Sunday. Our community boys went fishing today and caught many cat fish and a pike and a fine carp and we surely had a time eating stew and fry. Mr. Editor, you should have been with us. Come over some of these days and the boys will show you how to catch and make a good stew. G T. G. TRY IT! SUBSITUTE FOR NASTY CALOMEL Starts Your Liver Without Making You Sick and Can Not Salivate. Every druggist in town?your drugjrist and everybody's druggist has noticed a great falling-off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place. "Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better results," said a prominent local druggist. Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it.

Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel.

MANY MOTORISTS c OWE LICENSE TAX NOW SUBJECT TO ARREST AND FINE. r State Highway Commission Re- " ceived $84,626.43 From April 12 to July 1. j The South Carolina highway com- ^ mission realized $*84,626.43 from April 12 to July 1 from the registration of 1 automobiles, motor trucks and motor- o cycles by owners and dealers through- " out- the State. Of this amount Kicu- ? land, Spartanburg, Greenville and An- ti derson counties furnished more than s 25 per cent., Richland leading the 5 counties of the State with a total fee si of $5,852.95, Spartanburg coming second with $5,790.86, Greenville third ci with $5,747.43 and Anderson fourth w with $5,019.59. Fees from Charleston ii county amounted to $4,969.32, those a from Orangeburg county totalling $4,- si 362.38. c< In South Carolina on July 1 there were 28,750 owners of pleasure cars s] and motor trucks, 586 owners of mo- r< torcycles and 332 dealers in motor tl vehicles. Since July 1 the State high- G way commission has registered 850 automobiles, the additional receipts of p the commission from this source since p that time being $5,845.48. The total n receipts since April 12 is the generous ? sum of $92,014.36. Eighty per cent of ^ the fees received from each county jj will be placed in the State depository, subject to the call of the county, which 4l snail use the sum upon its highways ^ in such a manner as the people or tlie j{ county commissioners may determine, ^ In spite of the fact that the people ^ of the State have been informed since February 20 that after July 1 any owner or dealer of a motor driven ^ vehicle, who had not by that time had ^ his vehicle registered by the State ^ highway commission, would be subject to a fine of $25, there are in the e State about 1,500 new cars which have not been registered. There are, be- ^ sides, approximately, 3,000 cars which jy have been transferred recently, the . present owners of which have not applied to the commission for a transfer and are subject to a fine of $25. v The commissioin has addressed several j, letters to police and sheriffs through- " out South Carolina pointing out the advantage of the law to the car owner, to the towns and cities, to the coun- a ties and to the highway department o and asking these officers to enforce ti the law, but the commission's appeals t< have met with little response. The t town ,city or county government, the a officer of which enforces the law, will r be the sole beneficiary of all fines im- tl posed, no part of any fine imposed by IN officers of any of these governments d to recur to the State highway com- a mission. n The amount of the registration fees s resulting April 12 to July 1 in the counties of the State are: tl Abbeville $1,121.87; Aiken $2,355.67; c< Anderson $5,019.50; Bamberg $1,- e 387.94; Barnwell $2,158.19; Beaufort . $474.80; Berkeley $370.02; Calhoun $1,121.98; Charleston, $4,969.32; ' Cherokee $1,577.46; Chester $1,319.36; Chesterfield $1,423.74; Clarendon $1,063.56; Colleton $1,240.61; Darlington $2,247.37; Dillon $1,156.97; Dorchester $784.82; Edgefield $1,102.60; j Fairfield $717.39; Florence $2,631.75; | Ceorgetown $fi81.25; Greenville $5,-1 747.43; Greenwood $2,186.86; Hamp-i ton $1,112.75; Horry $623.03; Jasper; $238.51; Kershaw $1,109.48; Lancas- i ter $779.78; Laurens $2,328.18; Lee' $1,245.69; Lexington $2,288.70; Mc-1 Cormick $589.20; Marion $946.78; | mariooro $Z,U69.65; Newberry $1,-1 967.60; Oconee $1,418.78; Orangeburg . $4,302.38; Pickens $1,455.09; Richland! $ 5,852.95; Saluda $910.01; Spartanburp $5,790.86; Sumter $2,405.05; Unon $1,194.06; Williapisburg $928.36; York $2,148.99.?The State.

Thi German imperial chancellor esig ed Saturday, exactly eight years fter lie took the office. He was apoint d chancellor July 14, 1909. En heroi William, upon accepting lollv >g's resignation, appointed Dr. Icorjn Michaelis to succeed him. H e new chancellor has been since 90S undersecretary in the ministry f 4 uince. He has a wide experience i tl e fields of finance, national econmy and governmental administrator.: He is (>6 years of age. A Prusian by birth and education, he has een in the Prussian state service ince 1879. I)r. .Michaelis is known to hold deidedlv liberal views. He is credited 'ith antipathy rather than with leanigg toward the junker caste. His ppointment came as a tremendous Lirprise to Germany and the entente sunt t ies. Simultaneously with the central, repoisible head of the empire, the diectiiig chief of the Prussian?and lerewith German?army system, leneral von Stein resigned. There is a strong probability that 'ield Marshal von Hinaenburg will e named to succeed von Stein ?1s war linister. In that case, Hindenburg's right hand," General von Ludendorff, rould become chief of staff, it is beeved. Upon these two men, long since tie two directing geniuses of the Teuin war machine, rests today to a irge extent, the fate of the empire, toth were summoned back to the cap;al by the kaiser iust after thev had I tailed for the front upon the conlusion of a series of important conerences. For hours yesterday and aday they have been closeted with lie kaiser and the crown prince. Democracy is on the march in the mpire. With the war minister the ntire Prussian cabinet is reported to ave resigned. New blood of the lichaelis type is about to be poured ito the veins of the anaemic Prusian system. All indications tonight rere that the democratizing changes /ill be brought about swiftly, smoother, virtually over-night. Fear Revolution. But one great fear haunts Germany s it sees itself passing into the ranks f self-governing nations?the fear hat the spirit of discontent, due to emporary loosening of centralized auhoritv, may permeate the empire's rmed forces in the same way that the evolutionary sentiment swept hroujrh the Russian army after larch 13 last, resulting in months of isorpanization. Unlike the Russian rmies the Teuton forces would have o time to rally and organize once a tate of dissolution had set in. k is to prevent such a catastrophe hajkthe two big military chiefs are inferring with the kaiser and his eldst son. f 1 Jj It will soon be time for crops to be laid by.
