ing greatly impro^d by th? appli
cation of clay.
A gentleman who makes regular
trips io Saluda told the writer a few
days ago that one can tell by the bad
roads when he crosses the Saluda
line. For all-clay roads, we do not
believe any county in the state has
better roads than Edgefield, taking
them as a whole.

An old, experienced and very suc
cessful oats grower remarked a few
days ago that the extreme cold has
killed all of the insects, and that as
soon as the weather becomes milder
grain will begin to grow. Although
wheat and oats are small and look
rather badly now, a record-breaking
crop is predicted by many.
Only ten, more days are left in

Rev. R. G. Shannoiihou.se, rector
of the Episcopal' church, recently
received a call from a parish in
western Texas, near the Mexican
border, but we are happy to be able
to state that he has decided not to
leave Edgefield. In view of the
splendid service that Rev. Mr,
Shanmnhouse is rendering and the
perfect harmony and beautiful fra
ternal spirit that now prevails
among the i?cal churches and their
pastors, the people of our town of
every faith and order would regret
exceedingly to see him leave us.

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work,
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re
sponsible for much sickness andsuffering,
therefore, if kidney
trouble is permitted to
continue, serious re
sults are most likely
to follow. Your other,
organs may need at
tention, but your kid
neys most, because
they do most and
should have attention
first. Therefore, when
your kidneys are weak or out of order,
you can understand how quickly your en
tire body is affected and how every organ
seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial will con
vince you of its ?reat merit.
The mild and immediate effect of
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest because its remarkable
health restoring properties have been
proven in thousands of the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best.
Sold by druggists in
fifty-cent and one-dol
lar sizes. You may
j have a sample bottle
by mail free, also a
pamphlet telli..^ you iiomoot'Smiinp.Root.
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper
when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. Don't make any mis
take, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, and don't let a dealer sell you
something in place of Swamp-Root-ii
rou do you will be disappointed.
No Deduction for Bagging.
It is probable that the bill of
Hon. M. P. Wells prohibiting a de
duction for bagging and- ties will
become a law. The bill has passed
the House and has been sent over to
thc senate. The text of the bill is as
follows: i
'.That from and after thc approv
al of this act it shall be unlawful
for any person, firm or corporation
engaged in the business of buying
cotton in this state as principal or
agent, to deduct any sum for bag
ging or ties from the weight of any
bale of cotton,* when the same is
properly packed- and wrapped in
not more than nine yards of bag
ging and six ties, of the kind that
is now used in the custom of trade.
"For each and every violation of
this act, the offender shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor and shall be fined
in the sum of not less than $5 nor
more than $25 or imprisoned for
not less than 10 days nor more than
30 days: Provided, This act shall
not apply to what is known in the
trade as round bales, and bales of
cotton which weigh lens than 300
pounds."

a cooking substitute for lard and
butter. No greasy food, no dyspep
