The neatest, daintest, prettiest and best kept market in the Caro linas, with Georgia thrown in, is that of Mr. H. H. Sanders. Even . the appearance of his store and new market is appetizing, to say nothing ] of the nice things that are dispens ed over the counters. Mr. C. M. Williams says one in sertion of his little advertisement in our columns sold his cotton seed be fore breakfast. The Advertiser reaches the people-practically all of the people-)f the county. That J is why it bringt? such satisfactory j results to advertisers. Mr. J. P. Sullivan recently gave his wife a handsome piano for a birthday present. The splendid in strument was purchased from Hol land Bros. of Greenwood. We com mend Mr. Sullivan's example most | heartily. Would that every home in the county could have a musical in strument of some kind in it.

I shall always bp grateful for the help that ihey gave, which enabled me to win one of the prizes. Weinona Mathis. Colliers. S. C. Earliest of The Early. The Irish Cobbler makes good in every particular, but this is es pecially true of its early bearing qualities. Mr. J. D. Holstein show ed us an Irish potato of the Cobbler variety that was taken from his gar den last Saturday, April sJ22nd, which beyond doubt is the finest potato of the season in this section. The potata in question was about the size of a Plymouth Rock. Many others equally as large can be found in Mr. Holstein's garden. The Cob bier is an all-rouud good potato from every standpoint. Ropers Exchange Growing. Mr. J. B Timmerman takes great pride in keeping his telephone sys tem-the Roper's exchange-in first class condition. The latest phone to be installed was that of Mr. Hen ry Hammond. It is probable that the Faifa community, which is one of the best in the county, will be "tapped" by a wire at an early day. The good people of that section should thus get in touch with the outside world, reflecting the pro gressive spirit of the community. Card of Thanks. Please allow me to thank my friends for their assistance and co operation in the recent contest con ducted by The Advertiser. Words are inadequate to express my grat itude for the interest they took in the contest in my behalf. Addie Stephens. Judge S. M. Smith. The county commissioners hav ing approved his bond, Judge S.

The appalling 'death rate from kidney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected, until they become serious. The slight symptoms give place to chronic dis orders and the sufferer goes gradual ly into the grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney com plaint. If you are sufferer from backache, headaches, dizzy spells; if the kid ney secretions are irregular of pas sage and unnatural in appearance, do not delay. Help the kidneys at once. Doan'i. kidney pills are especial ly for kidney disorders, they cure where others fail. Over one hun dred thousand people have recom mended them. Here is one of the many cases in thiis vicinity. H B Sommer, Main street, Aiken, S. C., says: "I have been using Doan's kidney pills during the past few months and they freed me from a pain in my back and a dull, lan guid feeling that had clung to me for a long time.

Interesting Rehoboth News. It has been quite a while since my last communication and I feel that I am unworthy of space as a corres pondent but hope to make amends for past neglect. Our farmers are all very busy planting. This is the week that the bulk of cotton is planted in this community. The beautiful weather this spring has given time to thor oughly prepare soil, and liberal amount of fertilizer is being used for cotton and corn. We hope with fair season an abundant harvest. Large grain cropd were sown last fall throughout this section and the prospect for a fair yield is encour aging. Sunday school at Rehoboth was well attended last Sunday morning. Among those present we were glad to see Miss Nellie Hill, the princi pal of the Cleora school, Mi S3 Alma Williams and Herb3rc^Williams, of Cleora.. The ladies missionary society met at the church in the afternoon and held a public meeting which was very interesting. Prof. Maxcie White and Miss Mae Roper from Plum Branch were present.

C., April 25: At a conference of the Plum Branch Baptist church yesterday Rev. Luther B. White resigned as pastor of the church, feeling led of the spirit of God to another field of work. Pastor White has during his entire pastorate had the good will, sympathy and affection of the entire church. They are very sorry to give him up but as it is the Di vine will they willingly do it. Bro. White's resignation will take effect the first of June. During Bro. White's pastorate here the church has grown a great deal both in members and in giving. A nice parsonage with ample lot provided. Another phase of work that Bro. White has had a large share in promoting is the erection of a splendid school building and the establishment of a two year high school.

At present this church holds ser vice every Sunday but by vote of the church last Sunday they will hold preaching service only twice a month beginning with June. Union Meeting.
