Lockhart Junction, May 7.?The 3 weather has been most beautiful for i a few days; it is warm now, just such j weather as we need for cottou. I see ] some plantipg over. The spring has ; been cold and it is just now feeling like planting time, but spring for ] several years has been late and the i fall season is all late, so it looks like , the seasons are changing. The second quarterly Methodist ' conference was held at New Hope i last Friday and a good report made. ' Preaching was by the presiding elder, Rev. Jones of the Spartanburg dis rrict. There was an unusual crowd ! out to hear the presiding elder and 1 there was a collection taken. The people responded liberally. Dr. Thrasher and I were invited to the home of J. S. Pickens on Sunday; ' this was his birthday and he was 65 years old. The Dr. said he forgot the war was on when he went to the 1 table, seeing and partaking of the many good things to eat, such as English peas, Irish potatoes, beets, i and onions, all fresh from the gar- 1 den, besides cakes and pies and other ' goodies too numerous to mention. This dinner was prepared by the good wife and daughters. (My, my, why will Moxy tell us these good things??Oh, you Moxy!) Good people, I am a lucky man to be invited to so many good homes and made so welcome. Mr. Pickens is a good citizen of the Jonesville township, makes everything at home, has plenty of corn in the crib, meat in the smoke house, independent of high prices and the high cost of living for he makes it all at home. , 1 attended the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance meeting at Union last Saturday as one of the directors and , I am glad to say that this association is in good condition.

MAKES RAPII)' HEADWAY Add This Fact to Your Store of Knowledge Kidney disease often advances so rapidly that many a person is firmly in its grasp before aware of its progress. Prompt attention should be given the slightest symptoms of kidney disorder.

I PEKING HAS Ml SKI M |( OF RAILWAY MATERIALS n Peking?The recent opening of the , Kin Han Museum of Railway Ma- ( terials planned in September of last j year and pushed to completion I through the tireless efforts of Dr. C. j C. Wang, managing director of the < Peking-Hankow railway, is regarded s by many as the pioneer step in the j I gradual reorganiaztion of China's j railways." This museum will hereafter] I maintain a permanent exhibit of all j materials purchased by this railway as definite standards for the conven- ^ ience of those who may desire to bid for demands of the railwav over and L above all the former descriptive materials and written specifications ap- j plied to merchants. Much inconvenience and loss of time has resulted in t the clumsy procedure heretofore followed involving the necessity for merchants to make trips to the warehouses in Chang Hsin Tien and Hankow or to submit a large variety of 1 samples in the absence of specified ' standards for guidance. 1 At the opening of the new museum r the different kinds of specimens ex- I hibited number more than twenty-five hundred. As many specimens as possible of the various kinds ot materials ( required by this railway, and maps, g diagrams, drawing and miniatures ^ when materials of articles are not ^ suitable for display in the museum e have been collected, and it is planned to add more from time to time. A brief account of the size, weight, nature, use, place of production and ( amount required each season is at- ' tached to every article exhibited. 1 For merchants especially interested 1 in the museum descriptive folders in ! Chinese and western languages have been prepared, and it is hoped that this new institution will gradually ' eliminate the inconveniences and difii-j f?lll tips Jit tpnrlin<r tho nurz-Vi-wo <\f pn!l I way materials.

I1 Says women pay too much lieed to their face instead of their corns Watch your step! A brisk, lively! step is what charms more than a a lovely skin, but your hijrh heels have caused corns and you limp a little. That's, trirls, and you know it. . Corns destroy beauty and grace, be-, sides corns are very easy to remove. Rid your feet of every corn by ask-i ing at any drug store for a <|uarterj of tin ounce of free/.one. This will cost little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus i from one's feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, touchy corn relieves the I soreness and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out without pain. The free/one is a gummy substance! which dries instantly and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding skin. linen must keep in mind that corntap feet create a youthful step ' which enhances her attractiveness.
