FORTY PER CENT AT FARMING

brother, owns p 30 acre farm near Eu-

40 per cent profit OH the place. And
it is of considerable value because we
have unusually good accommodations
on the place. among other things an
exceedingly uicc country house with

cows. We have five Jersey COWS, from
which we sell the butter and the iu-
crease. We sell 200 head of hogs a
a year, many of them as pigs, others
when grown. We make fodder and
hay, and last year got good money
from 800 bushels of peanuts. We raise
great quantities of sweet potatoes. And

PROHIBITION ADDRESS.
Call Upon the Legislature to Obey
the Will OF the Pcoplc

The following IS the platform of the
State Prohibition Convention which met
in Columbia on the 2Gth of May, 1892:
We, the ProhibitiOnists Of South Caro-
lima in convention assembled, bow be-
fore Almighty God and acknowledge
Him rs the guide and ruler in all true
government.
l. We are unaltcrably opposed to the
liquor trailic-a traffic by which at least
S5,O0O,O0O are annually taken from our
already Impoverished people to be sQuan-
dcrcd by the liquor dealer and gambler;
by which our courts are kept occupied
with criminal business, our iails filled
with prisoners, our pcnitcntiary with
convicts, our poOr-houscs with paupcrs,
and our asylums with lunatics by which
which many of our boys, after being
educated. are untitled for business and
utterly ruined, and many Of our girls
degraded into servants of drunken hus-
bands, while the parents suffer with
untold misery; and by which our
civilization is dcmoraliHcd and the very
Church Of God hindcrcd in its work in
brief, traffic against the intellectual,
social, material, financial moral, cduca-
| tiOnal and religious interests of the pCo-
pie. We therefore earnestly favor and
will work for the enactment of such laws
as will prohibit the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors for use as
beverage in our State
2. We cordially invite the co-opcra-
ton of all Democrats in this laudable
effort for State prohibition, irrespective
OF the opinion on other issues as al
ready made up in the State.
On the issue thus sQuarcly presented
the people, at the primary election
August 30, 1892, voted 10000 majority
for prohibition. Out Of total vote Of
80, 1872, 1O,535 votes were TAX en- in tb"

gave majoritics agains; prohibition the
maioritics were small ranging from 113
to SOP excepting in Charleston County
where only 2Si votes were counted for
prohibition and 1888 against it. The total
majority in these eight counties was
5,l0I. the other 27 counties giving an
aggregate majority Of 5,73S.
The people asked for prohibition, and
were given the dispcnsary.

their ground since, but stand on the
same platform rs in 1892, and call upon

WHAT WIDE TIRES Do Elaborate
tests Of the draft of wide and narrow
tired wagons have just been completed
by the Missouri Agricultural College
experiment station, extending over a
period of II year and half. These
tests have been made on macadam,
gravel and dirt roads in all conditions,
and ON the meadows and plowcd fields
of the experiment farm. Contrary To
the public expectation, in nearly all
cases draft was materially lighter when
tires 6 inches wide were used than
with tires OF standard width. The
load hauled was in all cases the same,
and the daft was carefully determined
by means of a sclf-rccording dynamo
meter. The beneficial effect of the
wide tire OH dirt roads is strikingly
shown in some recent tests at the sta
tion. In trial, when a clay road was
so badly cut into ruts as to be almos
impossible for light vehicles and pleas
ule carriages, after running the 6 incl
tires over this road II times, the rut
were completely filed and a lirst-clas
bicycle path madc.-ColumJia one.

IT is EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after theiI
health are like the carpenter who
neglects to sharpen his tools. People
are not apt to get anxious about their
health soon enough. If you are "not
quite well' or "half sick" have you
ever thought that your kidneys may
be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine tor twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or
dull ache in the back is also convin-
cling proof that the kidneys and blad-
der m out of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing
that the great remedy, DIR. Kilmer's
,fulfills every wish in re-
lieving weak or diseased kidneys and
forms Of bladder and urinary troub-
les. Not only does Swam-Root give
new life and activity to the kidneys
the cause Of trouble, but by treating
the kidneysit acts as a tonic for the
entire constitution. If you need a
medicine take Swan1p-R oot-it cures.
