I ; i MISS CAVELL'S LAST HOURS The British nurse, Miss Edith Unveil, took the sacrament at the hands of an English clerfryman, the night before she died. This gentleman, j Rev. Gahan, gave an account of Unsolemn ordinance upon his recent return to Rngland. ( In his account of the sad interview , with Miss Cavell, he said: "I went F ] to the cell door and it opened and Miss Cavell stood in the doorway. 1 had gone prepared for a very trying scene. There stood my friend? ' looking as calmly sweet as anyone , could look. She was unchanged, except that she appeare'd better for the enforced rest in prison. The warden withdrew and we were not interrupted. | "I remember practically all she said. She was thankful for the quiet ( time as her life had bee.n such a t burden and rush in many respects. She was not sorry to go, for her life had contained so much trial that she | was weary beyond endurance. They 1.. ve treated me very kindly here." f The little communion vessels were . placed on a chair, and after the ser- j vice, Mr. Gahan recited, "Abide with Me," Miss Cavell joining under her breath. "I stood up and we were face to ^ face. I said, Goodbye. She was looking slightly strained, but nothing ' more. VVe shook hands and smiled, and I added, we shall meet again. - The crime of hurrying the .execu- ^ tion, according to Mr. Gahan, belonged to the military governor of I Brussels, who would not wait to communicate with headquarters. J IN THIS WHEAT BY AND BY ? 1 Mr. Barnesh has been appointed y wheat director of the United States. He will direct the handling of the entire 1919 wheat crop and will admin- 1 ister the $1,000,000,000 fund appropriated by congress to take care of \ the crop under the government guaranteed price. He was selected for ? the place, it was announced, upon i recommendation of Herbert Hoover. I Most of us know something about wheat in the barns, but Barnes in '] the wheat is another proposition. MR. HEFLIN ON THE LEAGUE I Hon. Thomas J. Heflin, of Alabama in n rpppnt pnnvfntiiin wnu nn Vi!c ( mettle when referring to the propn- ( ganda spreading through the coun- / try to discredit President Wilson. Mr. Heflin said the propagandists will fail because the league of nations is the only machinery that will prevent bloody wars. '1 he enemies of th<' league of nations are the munitions makers of this country, who expect to sell millions of dollars' worth of guns to foreign countries. In Jf> years the United States would have to raise another army of two inillio men, but this will not happen. 'In grandest disciple of democracy tli it ever lived is seated at the peace table over there in France to stop them. A GOOD INDIAN DEAD It used to be said that the onlj good Indian was a dead Indian. If this is true, Johnny Mine, the Ki(*kapoo chief, must be very good indeed. lie is dead, but will not be buried for six months, as the money from his estate will not be available to buy presents for all the tribe and to pay for the dance at his funeral. Here is a part of the program of the funeral rites: A peck of corn will be buried at his head to sustain him until he reaches the happy hunting grounds. There, say the Indians, will be much food awaiting Johnny, for during his long life he has killed a dog each spring and sent him along ahead to forage for game against the day his master arrived. The president of the Aero Club says ten years hence the airship will be as common as the automobile is now. Mr. Ford should get busy and make a Hying fliver and then we could all ride in the air. Only one lone man voted in the Atlanta executive committee meeting against allowing women to vote in the city primary. The women v. ! exercise their right to vote in the eity election, but when a new executive committee is elected the right to vote may be taken from them, especially if they don't vote to suit the city bosses. A dispatch from Washington saythat more claims are now being paid by the War Risk Insurance IJur >au for deaths which arose from natural causes than from ^ deaths in battle. ?>4 ,W. * } V-T^ly1* - "V ^ * v It has b?en a custom among indi- j iduals who have u strong prejudice gainst the Catholic church and also islike our great President, to make ho claim that President Wilson faorcd Catholicism in preference to he church to \?oich he and his father nd his grand-father belonged. Those eopl. should tunc some notice of he facts. He has persistently and riumphantly opposed the claim of taly, a Catholic country, the home if the Pope, and with Croat Bri 1 md France both favorable to Italy. Mr. Wilson stood up for the little <ations in their sea coast right- that taly would deprive them of.

Eishop Hendrix has issued, on behalf of the bishops, this call to church summoning all loyal Methodists ir. these words: "The hour he* come, Clod's hour, ar.d man's hour; let the campaign which opens on May 18th be ushered in Ly m-at church-going Sunday that shall fi.l ull our churches both with crowds of worshippers and the spirit of l'aith and nrayer. It is our Lot who summon: us to meet Him in the place of worship; let our'? be the church's answer to his gracious call for service. lie is mobilizing His army; let the foundations of hell tremble under the footfalls of the hosts of the Lord as the cry goes up to Heaven; the Lord of Host.: is with us; the Lord of Jacob is our refuge." At eleven o'clock on that Sunday morning the whole denomination it called to prayer in order that we ma> fulfill literally Bishop Atkins' proph ccy: "When two and a half mil'/on Methodists go from their knees to any task, it shnll be done."

Lee Sowell, one of the larg < si Far.ners of the Buffalo section of the county, shipped two car loads of Hereford and short horn steers t< Jersy City last week: The animals averaged 11.'57 pounds each, and sold tot i<> co nis per pound, musing a iota) of $8,004.28 received for the for ty-four head. Dr. Walter Sorrel' went with the cattle and looked aftei the sale. The steers were bought it Tennessee last year and fattened on .Mr. Sow ell's place. Besides realizog i handsome profit on the animals he realized around $3,500 in manure from the keeping of the cattle on his farm. Mr. F. M. Wooten, of the Consoli- J dated Farms Co, a!<o sold sixty-three head of the same breed of steers to Helstern & Sons, of Richmond, Va, last week. These animals were sold si his farm and shipped to Richmond, the Richmond firm sending a man here to look after the sale and shipping. Mr. Wooten's steers average 122(5 pounds each and' the price paid was 15.35 per pound, the entire lot bringing $11,22.97. Like Mr. SowI! he will derive about $ 1,000 worth fine fertilizer from these steers. We learn that several other Kershaw county farmers will fatten steers for market this fall, among them Mr. W. H. Kirkbridc of Fairview Farms who will have fifty head; Dr. S. F. Brasington will also purchase fifty head; II. 11. Boykin fifty head; Mr. Wooten will purchase another hundred head; while Mr. Sowell will have two hundred head this winter.

AND MAKES YOU SICK Acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver j and you loso a day's work There's no reason why a person 3ho:?hl take sickening, salivating calomel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson'8 Liver Tone?a perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate. Children und grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless. Calomel is n dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty alomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a day's work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tune instead and you will wake up fee1 in** great. No more billiousness, constipation, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone act better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you. Adv. 3. Special Session Of Congre*? President Wilson issued a call by cable for a session of Congress to meet Monday, May 19. Secretary Tumulty, in making the ..nnouncemont, said it would be impossible, of course, for the President to be here on the opening day. The date fixed for the session was much earlier than democratic leaders had expected. Stelia-Vitae THE GUARANTEED TONIC FOR WOMEN Stclla-Vitae has been in successful use in the treatment of l hose diseases peculiar to v omen for more, oian a third of a certury. For nearly i?u years it box been sold under a p'ain^ positive guarantee to lienellt. Sless than oi>o bottle out. of every one tlmuu.'^nd sold has been refunded for,and every cleim fur a re fund has been satisfied. I Thousands of letters like this praising j1 Stella-Vitae and telling of benefit to suffering women have been received. flr^. I?. Tl. Russell, of Mill :Spiings, N. C., gratefully writes us as follows: "I was in a most wretched condition; had palpitation of the heart and would swell and bloat in a most distressing war. When I began using Stella-Vitae I weighed 108 pounds. Now I weigh 135. I am more thanlilul than I can ever tell you for the fjreat good this wonderful medicmc has done me." Mrs Kussell was at that critical period, the "change," and her sincere j gratitude for the messed relief will be understood and appreciated by every! woman who reads her letter. Stella-Vitae has proved a boon to: suffering womanhood, to young girls' approaching'heir first vital period, to wouicn approaching the anguish of childbirth, to women approaching the "change of life." Stella-Vitae strengthens the female org..ns and promotes regularity in the monthly function. No risk of loss is taken by any suffering woman who tries Stella -Vitae on our guarantee of t..j first bottle. I "All dealers sell Stclla-Vitac and will return your money if it docs not benefit you.

Baker, supervising agent for Boys' j Clubs, suggests that club boys and ;ounty agents should lay more stress in the feeding phase of club work iust at this time, because of the fact ;hat the supply of purebred breeding stock in some counties is bee somewhat greater Jm: demand. Consequently, some cl-u members lave not -und it easy to dispose of ;heir surplus breeding stock and have iecome disappointed and discouraged. With'more attention to the fattenng or feeding wprk among club boys, .here would bo a tendency to use up :he surplus pigs now i.n hand; and vhen a suflicient number has entered .his phase of club work it would be asy to arrange to market in carload via, mus ireiunK quiCKer and surer 'eturns for the members.
