A pushing physician, asked by one
Of his acquaintance: "How are you
getting along this time? How is bust
hess in these hot summer days Which
kind Of sickness do you like best p
gave the well-modeled answer Thank
you very much. Sickness is right smart
in this part of the country. And, of
course, there is no sickness like better
than biliousness, women's biliousness.
Most all ladies suffer from biliousness,
especially those in advanced years also
young ladies when they fail to get mar
ried in due time. That keeps me busy
all the year round. At the same time,
this sickness is of the long kind it can
hardly be cured and is the very sick
ness that wants steady attention. ="

guess, amt you?" 'Yes, sir, come as
soon as harvest is over, and | will pay

ButterIlailk.

In warm summer weather many per-
sons feed an irresistible craving for
something sour, and often crafty this
desire by a free indulgence in pickles,
or vegetables made acid with vinegar.
This demand for acids indicates il def
cheney in the acid secrctions of the
stomach, and the demand for an artif-
cial supply is natural one, but vine
gar is not the best substitute. Tactic
acid is one of the chief agents that give
acidity to the gastric juice of the stom-
ach in health. This ls the acid Of sour
milk. and, therefore, one of the best
summer diet drinks that we can use is
buttermilk. 1t satisfies the craving for
acids by giving to the stomach nat
ural supply, and at the same time fur
nishing in its cheesey matter q good
supply of wholesome nutrition. A man
will endure fatigue in hot weather bet
ter on buttermilk than on any diet
drink he can use.

ALABAS7INE
/ A Superior Substitute
! for Ka1somine, etc.

Alabnstine Is the first and only preparation
made from calcined gypsum rock, for appli-
cation to walls with brush, and Is fully cov-
cred by patents and perfected by many years
OF experiments. 1t is the only permanent
wall finish, and admits OF applying as many
coats as desired, one over another, to any
hard surface, without danger Of scaling or
noticeably adding to the thickness OF the
wall, which Is strengthened and improved by
each additional coat, from time to time. It
is the only material for the purpose not de-
pendent upon glue for Its adheslveness.
Alabastine is hardened on the wall by age,
moisture, ETC., while oil kalsomines or whit.
enlng preparations have inert soft chalks
and glue for their base, which are rendered
soft or scaled in O very short time.
In addition to the above advantages
Alabastine is less expensive, as it requires
but one-half the number OF pounds to cover
the same amount Of surface with two coats,
Is ready for use by adding water, and easily
applied by any one.

Reply to ''Let Her RolE.''

l 1regret the necessity of reply to
Let Her Roll, after the apology Of last
week, which I re-publsh below, and
leave the readers to Judge and see who
is right, as no doubt they are tired Of
such nonsense:
In our last issue charge was made
that our correspondent, LET Her Roll,'
was ''growling and grumbIing" about
the crops. Nothing Insulting was
meant by the author Of the local, and
we believe that our correspondent was
sincere in his opinion regarding the
crops. There was difference Of opin-
ion and the writer Of the local claims
to be equally sincere in that Of his own.
But he does not seem to want Or
appreciate au apology;but is anxious to
keep up disturbance about matter

the State Executive Committee,
Pickens was made the place for the
opening Of the State Campaign.
All the speakers assigned to Pick
ems were present with two except

who has been spending sometime
at Daggers Point, Va. received
the information of his appointment
too late to be with us. Unavoida-

aided in the redemption Of the
State from the hands Of plunderers

busy season. the solid democracy
of Pickens County was well repre-
scnted on the 23rd. The rare and
rich eloquence Of the speakers who
graced the already adorned stand,
said much to interest our people
upon the subjects of National and
State politics. The meeting was
held on the campus of the Pied
mont Institute, the speakers occu-
pying the front piazza of the build

artistically decorated with ever
greens and flowers, and presented
an appearance indicative of the
work of the gentle hands Of the
good ladies Of Pickens. Not only
did they add to the attractions in
this particular, but then they were
