Who "saved" 1t.

Mr.. EDITOR: I see the following
in a letter to the News and Con-
rier:
"The Bank of saluda is now as
sured. Seven leading citizens have
entered into a contract with Maj.
w. J. Gaines, of the Augusta
Chronicle, by which he is to work
up the capital stock for stipu-
lated sum. Maj. Gaines saved the
Farmers Bank of Edgefeld, and
he will have no trouble in found
ing a..bank at this place. ."(saluda.)
Now, Mr.. Editor, the "Major"
may have scved the Farmers Bank,
whatever that means; but if it is
meant to say that the "Major"
brought this fourishing institution
into existence or was it's chief pro-
moter we deny the impeachment.
That honor belongs to one J. ~.
Smith, who was at the time a
school teacher in the Big Creek
section. He induced the Big Creek
Alliance to take up the matter and
later made speech before the
County Alliance that was the
causa causa,ss, the causing cause of,
bringing forth the lusty child
Tillman, Talbert, Zimmerman took
up the matter along with Mr..
Smith and the child was christened
The truth Of history demands this
much of one who ought to know,
and
"If he sh ould live to be
The last leaf upon the tree
In the spring"
He would stand to that racket.
By the way, are those "Green-
wood gentlemen" going to resign?

Red Hair in all Ages.

Since time immemorial red hair
has been the object of ill-humored
lokes-just why no one SCENE to
know, unless it be that Judas
Iscariot was thus endowed, says
the San.'Francisco Examiner. And
yet, despite the popular prejudice
against auburn locks, there are
few things more beautiful than a
woman with such hair
Red.headed women have played
prominent parts in the worlds
history and have caused many a
kingdom to tremble and even fall.
Helen of Troy was red-haired,
and she certainly caused trouble
enough for one woman. Catherine
/. of Russia, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth

and all aru famous.
Nevertheless, it is curious
fact that in all ages there has
been aversion to hair of this hue
Red -alYays-besI sidered
the color of war and bloodshed,
and the cruelest gods Of sava 6
races have always been adorned
with red topknots.
The ancient Egyptians were
violently opposed to red hair and
once a year burned a maiden Of
this DESCRIPTION in the hope of
exterminating or lessening what
they considered a curse.
In Spain, red hair is abhorred
on the ground that it is Judas
hair" Among some savage races
red hair is held in great esteem,
especially among some of the
Alaskan tribes.
In New Zealand a red-h"aded
woman is considered as on the
right road to paradise.
Students of red-hairology say
that a woman thus adomed is more
cruel, brighter, more deceptive
and more ambitious than a woman
having other colored hair. What
ever truth there may be in this, it
is a fact that redbaired women
have strange fascination for
most men and red-headed old
maids are almost unknown.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part Of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scaIding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extrsordi-
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
pamphlet both sent free by mail Men,
