e 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. 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 out correctly, set
your urine aside for 81 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.

THEY NEVER LEARN.
Cotton Farmers Aagain Planting
for a Big Crop.

"It is one of the most astonishing
things in the world that, despite
the ruinously low price of cotton,
the planters of our state are de-
voting a much bigger acreage to
that crop than they did last year, "
said Mr.. G. P. Lott, of North
Carolina, at the Riggs House.
"lheir experince last year
would seem to an outsider to make
them forever disgusted with plant
ing single acre, for at 5 cents a
pound, the ruling price, the farmer
was bound to quit loser. The only
theory by which the policy Iof en-
larged production, after dis
astrous year, can be explained, is
that the individual planter thinks
every other cotton raiser will cur
tail his acreage; on that assump-
tion each individual farmer
reasons that if everybody else is
going to produce less, the supply
will be short, and therefore prices
will advance. If prices 60 up the
man who has most to sell is ahead
of the game. Many individuals
holding this view constitute the
mass of planters, and it is there
fore very evident how, under these
conditions, there will be more of
the feecy staple grown in 1898
than in the preceding year

companion of ST Anthony,
Recently a steamer had struck
the rocks about two hundred yards
from the shore, and was in great

There were several very fit pigs
on board, some fellows of the crew
put strap around the body of the
strongest animal; to the strap
was fastened a light rope, and
the pig was thrown overbord. The
brave hog, although manifestly
dismayed at first, soon struck out
for the land, which he reached
safely despite the fury of the
waves.
The coast was inhabited; tht
light rope was used to drag

The season for planting this
important crop is at hand. Never
before was it more important to
devote a liberal area to this supply
crop. Never before was it 80
important to thoroughly prepare
and fertilize this area.
If the land is well prepared
before planting, the crop may be
cultivated very cheaply. There
are several mistakes commonly
made in the treatment of the scorn
plant that should be avoided
The first and most common il
insufficient preparation before
planting. Crops are frequently
reduced one-half in yield by
imperfect and too shallow prepara
tion of the soil. A second mistake
is in planting the corn too thickly
on up lands.-Southern Farmer.

How Fitz Hugh Lee left. West

account of how Gen. Eitz Hugh
Lee left West Point ts join the tl1e

at that time was an instructor in
the West Point Military Academy
and Wright was a cadet. The
account was published soroe years
ago and is as follows;
I was on post in the hall of one
division of.ths barracks. I had
completed my inspection of rooms
and received the assurance of "all
right. from the occupants of each.
It was getting along toward tattoo

through half open door, and
made all the necessary preparations
for receiving and reporting to the
officer in charge, who, I had been
advised by grapevine. dispatch a
few mintes before, had started at
the other end of the barracks. He
gave a great rattle of his sword
before opening the hall door, for
fear I would not know he was COM
ing. I reported in the usual way,
but he did not turn away at once
as was usual. I had often saluted
this officer, but had never spoken
to him. He had given. me, many
an order, but be probably never
heard my voice. He was an officer
and cadet, and he knew me
only by sight and name. But a
great event was upon him that
broke down the rigid barrier
between the officer and the cadet
soldier. 1 stood at wondering
attention, but he advanced and
took my hand and said, as he had
said something like to other cadets
he met that last evening of his,
Goodbye, my boy, God bless
you" And 30 Fitzhugh Lee went
out from West Point before the
war into the great, stirring events
of the war itself.

ANDERSON, ,. ", March II, 20.
CAMP WALLACE, Sons OF 7ETE-
RAMS,
Comrades: Ever since I have
been in command Of this Division
of the United Sons of Confederate
Veterans, I have been especially
desirous that your camp should re-
vive it's organization and join the
United Sons of Confederate Vete-
rams. There is no county in the
State which sent to the war a larg-
er number of gallant soldiers than
did Edgefeld. Among the most
distinguished names of those who
rose to high position in the Con-
federate army are those of the sons
of Edgefeld; and no less great,
no less gallant, and no less patri-
otto were the thousands of those of
her sons who in the ranke of the
army endured danger and suffer-
ing; and death itself, in de-
fense of the principles for which
they went to war. I cannot be-
lieve that the sons of these men
are lacking in the spirit which
made their sires 30 illustrious. I
will not believe that the descen-
dants of these men are Indifferent
to the memories of fame and glory
which are their inheritance. I
know too we'll the pride of race
and of name which has ever char
acterized the brave men of old
Edgefeld. The purposes and OBJ
iects Of the organization known as
the United ions of Confederate
Veterans cannot fail to commend
it to your favorable consideration.
Wherefore, I earnestly invoke you
to re-organize your Camp, named
IN honor of so distinguished son
of Carolina.
The annual meeting of tn. South
Carolina Division U. S. C. v, will
be held in Charleston on April
9th, at which place and time the
old Veterans of the State will
meet, and all the preparations be-
ing made indicate that it will be a
joyous occarion. So I beg you to
unite yourselves with our Division
and send delegates to that meet
ing.
I feel that I will not appeal in
vain to the patriotic pride and the
flial duty of the young men of old

CHA N BERLAIN
Reported to Contemplate Resigning
From the Ministry to Assume Lead
erShip.

London, June PIT is rumored that
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of
State for the colonies, will shortly re-
sign from the ministry in order to as
sumo the leadership of a large number
of Unionists IN the House of Commons,
who are disconnected with the foreign
policy of the government. There seems
to be no doubt that Mr.. Chamberlain
is dissatisfied with his present position
and if affairs in the Far East and in
West Africa take the turn he expects,
his friends believe that he Will not re
main in the cabinet TO share the ship
wreck CT policy he never approved.
Whatever may be the outcome of the
disquieting idea is undoubtedly preva-
lent in conservative circles that Mr..
Chamberlain contemplates some sensa-
tional move; and the extent to which
this is credited shows how little Mr.
Chamberlain can count upon Tory con-
fidence.

LORD LANSDOWN E
Backs Up All That Chamberlain Said
About an American Alliance and
the Reality OF American and Eng.
liSh Friendship.

LONDON, June 22.-The Marquis of
Lansdowne, Secretary of State for War,
addressing the Conservative Unions of
London this evening, endorsed the recent
Birmingham speech of the Secretary of
State for the Colonies, in which Mr.
Chamberlain expressed the hope that the
day would come when the stars and
stripes and the union jack would wave
together over an Anglo-SaXon alliance.
lord Lansdowne said he found nothing
in Mr.. Chamberlain's speech 10 offend the
common sense or patriotism OF the peo-
pie of Great Britain.
I'VE should be wanting in foresight .
he continued, IF we failed to realize that
the time might come when our revenues
could no longer flow so freely, when the
British taxpayer would grow weary of
building more and more battleships and
raising more and more battaions, and
when, whether we liked it not, we
might have to consider whether we could
afford to stand alone
Lord Lansdowne insisted that there was
nothing ridiculous in the idea of closer
friendship with America To his mind
there could be no more inspiring ideal
than such an understanding between two
having many common interests, ma
tons, which together were predominant
in the worlds commerce and industry.
Was there anything preposterous, he
asked. in the hope that these two nations
should be found he would not say in a
hard and fast alliance of offense and de-
Tense, but closely connected in their
diplomacy, absolutely frank and unre-
served in their International councils, and
ready, wherever the affairs of the world
were treatened with disturbance to
throw their influence into the same scale
Depend upon it." said Lord Lansdowne
in conclusion, these are no mere idle
dreams or hAzy aspira tons. The change
which has come over the sentiment of
each country toward the other during the
last year two is almost immeasurable
One can scarcely believe they are the
same United States with whom only two
years ago we were on the verge of a
serious quarrel The change is not an
ephemereal understanding between diplo-
matists. but a genuine desire of the two
peoples to be friends, and therefore, it
cannot be laughed out of existence by the
sort of comments we have lately heard "
