ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
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 WOMB, 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. It 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. 70 find out correctly, set
your urine aside for "a hour; n
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.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.
BY o Sheppard-Report Read
Before the Edgefield
Association.

Education seems to be the
watchword of our day this is well.
but education, so called, is not the
panacea of all the ills that flesh is
heir to. What is education? It is
certainly not simply the training
and development Of the mental
faculties alone; mere intellectual
ity is not, and cannot be, considered
as education in its truest and
highest sense. Any system of
education which fails to develop
the moral and spiritual natures Of
our sons and daughters will
inevitably fail in its purpose to
make the world better. Heart
culture-spiritual development
belong to, and are inseparable
from, a correct appreciation of
what education is in its true and
better sense. Education in it's
fullness means that there should
be trained mind, a consecrated
Christian heart and q sound body,
all united and working harmo-
piously in the same person. This
is the only education that can
result in making full rounded men
and women such men and women
as will be worthy of the life that
has been given TO us; such men
and women as will be capable of
meeting the responsibilities and
duties that are inseparable from
our natures; and such men and
women as will tend to make the
world brighter and better and
worthy of the hope that is ours,
and Of the eternal joys to which
our hopes unquestionably point.
Such an education az is above
set forth can be obtained by car
SOUS in Furman University, and
oy our daughters in the Greenville
Female College and in the Cooper
Limesone Institute. Then .s
Christians, as Baptists, We should
these institutions. They

he facilities necessary to obtain a

/. STARTLING FIGURES.

The following figures are from
the Auditors books and the School
Commissioners apportionment OF
the school fund of Edge6eld
county:
Pickens school district paid last
year from the 3 mill constitutional
tax into the county treasury for
school purposes, s1,26441; and on
polls, 1884; making total of
$1,54s.41. Of this $1,54S.41 paid
into the county treasury by the
taxpayers of Pickens school dis
trict for school purposes, the school
commissioner returned to said dis
trict in his apportionment only
$643.7O, q. difference against the
taxpayers of about 5000.
In Talbert Township S5O6.O2
were paid in taxes to the school
fund, aud $576.90 are returned to
that township by the school COM
missioner''s apportionment, sew
enty dollars and eighty-two cents
more than was paid in.
In Moss Township $631.O3 were
paid iu taxes, and $66S.S0 returned
to the township for school pur-
poses.
These apparent discrepancies
run through the whole apportion-
mant, and do not seem to be ex-
actly right and fair, although they
are according to law. We have
not. space to elaborate these mat
ters now, but next week we shall
take up the subject again. We
simply want to call the attention
of our Pickens school trustees to
the injustice of the present system
of apportionment that they may
devise a remedy. !
