' *- ~ KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL Wf - % s ' Health U Worth Soring and Soma Sara It. Many Chesterfield people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Weak Kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to . suffer nor to remain in danger. Use Doan's Kidney Pills?a remedy that has helped thousands of kidney sufferers. The following statement leaves no ground for doubt. F. M. Easterling, 114 Jordan St., Bennettsville, S. C., says: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills and found them to be as represented. 1 used 4L. -1 a. a - miciii auuui a year ago wnen my back was lame and I was troubled with a tired feeling. I knew what Doan's Kidney Pills were as I sold them when I was a drug clerk. I only took Doan's a short time and was permanently cured." Price 60 cents at all dealers. Don't Simply ask for a Kidney remedy? get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr. Easterling had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrgs., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv. 1 NOTICE All persons owing the estate of .John F.

Sometimes would go a month or two, and I had terrible headache, backache, and bearingdown?peins, and would just drag and had no appetite. Then ... it would last ... two weeks, and was so weakening, and my health was awful. My mother bought me a bottle of Cardui, and 1 began to improve after taking the first bottle, so kept it up till I ' took three ... I gained, and was well and strong, and I owe it all to Cardui. I am married now and have 3 children . .. Have never had to have a doctor for female trouble, and just resort to Cardui if 1 need a tonic. I am glad to testify to what it has done for me, so as to help others." If you are nervons or weak, have headaches, backaches, or any of the other ailments so common to women, why not I live Cardui a trial? Recommended by many physicians, kr use over 40 years.

Mr. and Mrs. K. C. Johnson were in Chesterfield on Monday. About two weeks ago the body of a colored man was found in Black Creek near .the bridge on Mr. K. C. Johnson's place. Investigation proved it to be Nathaniel Smith, who was supposed to be on a visit. Nathaniel's wife and a colored man named Charlie Benton were placed under arrest. On last Saturday she made a full conffession, saying that Charlie killed Nathaniel with an ax and carried his body to the creek in a buggy and threw it in. He told her if she screamed he would kill her. They will both remain in jail until the trial. . Mr. Alfred Johnson and granddaughter, Mary, spent a very pleasant day in Cheraw last Saturday.

Most of the folks who went to r McBee Thursday morning to see the t train sent out by the government, i showing the people the ammunition t and guns belonging to the 30th Di- t vision, were very much disappointed, f as the captain refused to open the r car and ordered the people away, on c account of the rain. Many of the t people had ridden miles in a down- h pour of rain, and after most of them \ had gone the captain opened the car S for a short time. Many went away ii very much put out and will refuse to ii buy bonds on that account. We t should remember, however, that what t the captain did was no fault of our o government and we should do what g we can in the Victory Loan drive. a Mr. Ernest Sims was on the sick list for a day or so but is able to t greet you again at his new place in 3 the postoffice. Something should have been said s ere this about the exercises given at v the close of school, but lack of other 0 news prevented. r We have been blessed with good music all winter, but it seems the ' ' Misses Melton saved the best till the ^ last. Everyone enjoyed the excellent ^ I music they gave us on the last night ' of school. The boys and girls that ' sang did well. Also two of Miss i Vera's pupils, Jamie Johnson and Isa| bella Weldon, are worthy of special . mention. Major Gillespie gave us a splen- t did talk on his experiences in France J and we hope that he will come again ( I soon, as ho has promised. Superintendent Knight made a 1 very helpful and interesting talk on the progress our school has made i and should make in the future. I wonder if we in the community are | going to let pass the few words he spoke about the boy who desired to study more English. Are we not go- f ing to get busy and see that he gets what he wants, when we can do it for the asking? There are so many p illiterates in our community and _ many who would willingly and gladly leai'ii to read and write if we would organize a school, whether at night or day. In my home State, Oklahoma, in just a few short years, they have almost completely banished illiteracy. I have known of old men and women, of 70 and 80 years, who learned to write their name and read their most treasured book, the Bible. Cannot wc, not only as a community, but as a county, teach every man, | woman and child to sign his name at least? Why should we not go further and teach our girls domestic science and our boys agriculture? It j takes such very little equipment to furnish a kitchen in one of our un- j , used rooms, and most of the equipment will be donated. By securing a ' I teacher who has studied Domestic ! Science, and with the help of our i county agent we Can teach the girls ! the most important lessons that she ' can learn, to prepare herself to make i the most of her natural gift, that of \ house-keeping.

We are sure i that this movement once started will produce wonderful results and that ' many of the boys and girls who are now leaving the farms will stay at home, happy and prosperous.

Therefore the governnent should raise only a portion of he fund necessary by taxation, for f it takes more from the people in his form than business and indusry can spare, we should have unemdoyment and suffering. It is no one nan's business, nor any one class if men; it is the duty of every citizen o do his or her part.

It is no less a patriotic duty to erve in peace as in war times, and ve must all stand solidly behind ur government and prove to the lations of the world and to ourselves, hat this is a government of the < >eople, for the people, and by the teople, and that each of us individ- , tally will assume his full share of the turdens as well as the benefits there?f.

This rovernment is ours, and each one of is individually is a part of it, and its ibligations should be looked upbn is the obligation of every individual iitizen in proportion to his ability. iVhen this relationship is fully apireciated by every citizen, the burlens of government will fall more ightly upon each individual, and the administration will be more efficient. . In order adequately to equip our- J lelves to be a real factor in the win-' lig of the war, enormous expendiures were necessary, and we know hat by the expentures of these large lums, the war was brought to a much ! mrlier ending. We also know that j t is necessary to maintain a large . irmy until a lasting and proper peace s established, and that the expendiures of the government must be irovided for.
