MRS. JOHN B. DAVIS.

Departed this life on Sunday
afternoon last at 5 o'clock Mrs. j.
B.Dsvis. For several weeks she had
been very ill, but the sad and final
farewell was not expected so soon.
Mrs. Davis has been q resident of
Edgefe'a for about twelve years,
and had learned to feel that it was
her home. She lived a quiet and
unobtrusive life, and was devoted
to her home and children. She
leaves her husband and six chill
dren, the eldest, A. T. Davis Of
Greenville, Misses Sudie and Til
lie, and John Davis Jr., and two
little sons Floyd and Henry, all
old enough to realize what a loss
they have sustained. Her re-
mains we're carried on Monday to
Good Hope Baptist church, where
she has been for years a member.
The sad messenger of death brings
sorrow to many homes, but never
sadder than when it is to bear
away the loved spirit of a devoted
mother.
But the short affections of the
present are not to be compared to
the glory that shall be revealed
hereafter, and the furnace of sor-
SOW is a stepping stone to the
higher life. May all learn the
lesson which each cross shall
teach.
"Oh these parting scenes WILL end,
Some sweet day by andby
We shall gather friend with friend
Some sweet day by and by,
And the star that fading here,
Left our hearts and homes so drear,
We shall see more bright and clear
Some sweet day by and BY"

THE SOUTH FOR SETTLERS.
1t Offers Many Advantages, and
Tide Has Turned This Way.

N. F. Thompson, secretary Of
the Johnstown, Pa, board of trade.
writes to the New York Times as
follows:
aThe matter of farming
colonization of the surplus labor
and population of the east on the
fertile lands of the south, where
lands are relatively cheaper and
more productive than in most of
the other states of that section. is
Just now attracting very wide
attention. This is due in part to
the editorials that have appeared
in the Philadelphia Times and
the Presp of that city on the subject.
They are being widely noticed
throughout the south, and mutually
the metropolitan press is looked
to for some show of interest IN it.
"The fact is dawning upon the
minds of thousands through! this
section that the west no longer
offers attractions for settlers.
Mapy from the west are now seek
ing homes in the south, and they
are impressed with the belief that
it would have been better for them
from the outset to have gone direct
to the south. Be that as it may,
the tide is now unquestionably
toward the south, and will
mate,ialize for that section just
in proportion as it will be properly
received there.
1.-THE greatest problem with
which the east has not to deal is
the disposition to be made of its
surplus labor and population.
Under the most favored conditions
it is recognized that there is not
employment for all, but that many,
if they remain here, must suffer
want and privations untold from
that cause. Why not, then, make
this move to the south-one that
will promise relief? 1t can easily
be done, and every impulse OF
humanity, patriotism. and state
craft demands that it at least be
attempted.
"From a long and intimate
acquaintance with all=portions OF
the south, and without. a single
dollar of interest at stake, I will
take pleasure in giving information
to any who may apply therefor
on this matter"

A Pointer for Ben Tillg

4
Ben Tillman can stop his sky
larking now and get down to bust
ness. If ho wants to hold, his own
and maintain his grip upon the
popular confidence and vote of
this State, he will have to display
both the executive ability and the
disposition to promote the real in
terests of the people and of the
taxpayers, instead of playing upon
their factions and class prejudices.
The politicians have got a knife up
the sleeve for HIM, apd once they
get him on the run there is no tell
ing where it will end. Let him
stop I'm onkeying" with the whis.
key traffic; retain what is good
of the dispensary idea the fea-
lures of it that were engrafted on
the State Constitution; do away
with the State selling places; i'm
pose high license and stringent
conditions on the Original pack
age" stores, thus securing all the
moral benefits possible, and at the
same time saving to the State the
much-needed revenue from the
whiakey business which is now 60
ing into the pockets of the alien
and the stranger.
The federal courts have got his
political machine" by the throat
and will surely strangle it sooner
or later. They should have made
a clean job of it by chopping off
it's head with the constitutional
axe long ago. 1t would have been
more 1nerciful and humane mode
of execution not only to the con-
demned system, but to the specta-
tors as we'll. In short, let Senator
Tillman for once rise to the plane
of true patriotism and statesman
ship and he may perpetuate
through merit the hold he has
hitherto obtained on the people by
shrewd politics.-Charleston Critic

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such tits not liable 70
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womo, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
usinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or
womb trouble of some sort. The error
is easily made and may be as easily
avoided To find ont correctly, set
your urine aside for "a hour; a
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney
and bladder remedy, is soon real
lied. If you need medicine you
should have the best. At druggists,
price fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have sample bottle and
pamphlet both sent free by mail. Men

hamton, N. Y. The proprietor of this
PAPER guarantees the genuineness of
