KELTON Kelton, Aug. 27.?A general rain is needed just now and if we have a drouth now cotton and late corn will be cut short. While our section has been having plenty of rain the last two or three days hot and the night's cool is telling rapidly on our cotton. Picking will begin in a few days. It is hard to tell what a cotton crop will be until it is gathered. Dry spell of weather the first of September can cut a crop short. If nothing happens we will make a fair crop of peas. Early corn is good; sweet potatoes will be good if seasons continue. I think we will have a good winter cover prnn nf nraK ?*? ? 1 - J r V>?? clliu W?eU8 I fllS winter. There was preaching at Mt. Joy church yesterday evening by Rev. Mr. Croft, the pastor, and five applicants for full membership were baptized. Rev. Mr. Kelly filled his pulpits at Foster Chapel and Flat Rock yesterday. His subject at Flat Rock was "Love," and he surely handled it well. How few of us measure up to the standard of pure love. If we possess that love there would be no world war and all the untold suffering: from the results of it would never have been but sin dominates the world. If we say we love God and do not love ou? brother we are liars, so says the word. That pcreat day will come and who will be able to stand? Rev. W. A. McSwain, a jrreat preacher of the Methodist church, and a noted orator, preached from that text at a camp meeting at Flat Rock before my day. I heard Uncle Si Foster tell of what a serman it was and he said that one of the Gists remarked what a pity he wasn't a statesman. A minister of the pcospel is the highest callinp: of God. I see in a recent issue of the Columbia State that Mr. T. C. Duncan of Union has something to say reprarctinp: the neprro soldiers beinpt camped with the white ones. Well, I have my opinion on the subject but I jruess I will not p:ive it lest some one would jump on me with both feet. Some are already criticisinp: him for his stand. It is as Tillman used to say, he would be d?d if he did and he would be d?d if he did not. In the late act nasse?i hv mnirmoo oAnt^iiin . extortionate dealings in the products of our country some of those big patriotic corporations are kicking already. Oh, if it were not for the money that is in this war there wouldn't be much patriotism in many of them. What kind of patriotism is it that law has to force one to do. It is just about that kind drafted soldiers possess. Some of us who know we never can serve our country can talk patriotism very loud. We are in this war now and it behooves every man, rich and poor, to do his part. Mr. and Mrs. Riley are visiting the family of Rev. and Mrs. Kelly of Kelton, the parents of Mrs. Kelly. mmJi. There have been four cars bought in the Flat Rock community, the purchasers being Messrs. D. J. and Foster Gault, Mrs. W. H. Gault and Mr. TI XT T,"' 11. uavcs. Mr. Jack Smith's daughter, Miss Lillian, who has been critically ill for ten days with typhoid pneumonia, is improving. Protracted meeting at Foster chapel will continue through the week. G. T. G. AN ANCIENT MYSTERY. A girl with a stunning figure, big brown eyes, peachlike complexion and wavy black hair, lovely enough to become the bride of a prince, stood around the union station today watching and waiting. Finally her face became illuminated; a spindly, weakeyed, under-sized young man slouched in sight; homely enough to stop a clock. The two talked, and every once in a while the princess-like girl dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief. At last a train pulled in under the station shed. The young man waved an indifferent good-bye to the beautiful creature who clung to him sobbing until l.~ 1 l?.l iU- i i- ^ ? bn iic uuniuni Liit; tram, ana was carried swiftly away. Is he her brother, her cousin, or her uncle? No, he is her beau. Girls are the funniest things in the world.?Topeka (Kan.) Globe. (.TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE FOR NASTY CALOMEL Starts Your Liver Without Making You Sick and Can Not Salivate. Every druggist in town?your druggist 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 druppist. Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druppist who sells it. A larpe bottle costs 50 cents, and if it fails to pive easy relief in every case of liver sluppishness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tastinp, purely vepetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at nipht and wake up feelinp fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't pripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel today and tomorrow you will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day's work! Take Dodson's Ixver Tone instead and feel fine, full of vipor and ambition.
