1t docs not require on export to doteot
tho sufferer from kidney trouble. Tho
hollow chooks, tho sunken eyes, tho dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, tho sallow
parsnip colored complexion indicates It.
A physician would ask If you had
rhoumatsm, dull pain or aoko in tho
back or over tho hips. or burning or
scalding in passing it; if after passing
thoro is an unsEsistled feeling, rs ii It
must bo at once repeated, or Ii tho urine

Whom those symptoms nro present, no
timo should bo lost in removing the cause.
Delay may load to gravel, catarrh Of
the bladder, inflammation, causing stop.

ing of tho urine with Instruments, or
may run into Bright's disease, tho most
dangerous stage of kidney trouble.
DIR. Kilmor's Swamp-Root, tho great
discovery of tho eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is n positive remedy
for such diseases. Its reputation Is
worldwide, and it is so easy to got at
any drug store that no ono need suffor

While presiding at Charleston last fall
Judge Bonot held that as the constitution
of 1905 provides that u juror must be e
legally qualified clcctor, and that to con
stituto such he must have paid his pol
tax, hcnce if ho has not done 30 he is ar
illegal juror.
Judge Watts cntertains a diffcronI
opinion. While holding court at Edge
field last week objection was made or
tho trial Of prisoner for housebreakinl
to some of tho jurors on account of thoil
not having paid their poll tax; tho court
promptly ruled that if a juror is botwoor
IS and II years of ago, and is of goo(
moral character, he is competent juror
whether ho has paid his poll tax or not.
The case vii! worry likely bo carried ia
the Supreme Court on this point and its

Death OF Miss Alma Brown.

"Tho Lord gavo and tho Lord taketh

This is what tho Christian friends and
relatives of Miss Alma Brown have re-
Gently been called upon to exclaln. Oh,
how sad to part with loved ones in death.
There is nothing that ca compensate
for this sorrow but tho bic .sod hope of
being happy with them in tho Paradise
of God. We arc so glad that those who
know Alma best cal feel assured that
shc is now in tho joyous presence of our
Heavenly Father.
l. Alma was born December 18th, 1870.
She seemed to bo religiously inclined
sho learned to love the Bible and devoted
80 much of hor time to tho reading of
that blessed book that sho could say
what many of our gray-haircd peO-
pie could not say: That she had road
through the Biblo from cover to cover
her fifth timo and finished reading
through the Old Testament tho sixth
time tho day before sho was taken sick.
Alma was not blessed with tho GOOD
health that many Of ns enjoy. She mad
been afflicted all her life and on Monday,
March 9th, sho took her bed and suffered
d;stressingly until Friday, March l7th,
3.20 o'clock A. NJ, when the Lord called
her up higher whore no pain or suffering
can ever reach her. We have all owl
dence to bolievo that she has gono to

vices conducted by Rov. II. w. Nolson
and to follow hor mortal remains to thoir

of her little sister, who had gono on be-
foro to tho better land.
Call her not dead, but gonc before,
TO fields Of living green;
No dark-tinged clouds around hor float
10 mar that perfect scene.
Her feet doth tread the golden walks
Or mansions dazzling bright;
She wears the hrinor OF ncr ti0ti
In robes of purost white.
She is not dead, but gone before, D.
To sing Gods praise divine,
Who called her from this sinful world
70 Worship Mt His shrine.
Her touch upon the golden harp
Awakc5 as pure strain
Az any earth has over known
Since Christ with us did reign.
Yes she is lvng-loving, too
whore only angels tread;
A harp IL now within her hand,
A crown upon hor head.
IIor crown of sparkling jewels shines
Far brighter than the sun,
And in hCr husOm all Is ncaC0--
Hcr work OH earth is done.
The above is respectfully dedicated to

Tho School Fund.

Comptroller Genoral Derham is prepar.
ing to ISSUE his warrants to divide the
100000 in tho State Treasury to tho
credit of the school fuph. Tho warrants
will probably be issued this wock This
amount will bo apportionod among those
counties in which tho ordinary school
funds, that is tho three mills and the
poll tax, do not aggregate So por capita.
Thcre is now in tho State Treasury
$S5, 900 disponsary profits TO tho credit OF
tho school fund.
Tho division of these profits hereafter
will entail some trouble in accordance
with tho now law on tho subject. This
law provides that each school district
shall havo n minimum fund of $75 oh.
taincd from tho ordinary three mill tax.
When the amount of school funds in any
district shall fall below that amount tho
disponsary profits shall bo used to mako
up tho deficiency. After that is done tho
remainder will be divided among all tho
counties in tho State in proportion to
tho school population.
Therc has boon some litigation over
this matter, but it has beon finally set
tied. The opinion filed by Associate
Justice Jones about ton days ago, rela-
two to tho disbursement of this money
derived from dispensary profits, fixes tho
status of tho question.
Comptroller General Dorham says that
he is carrying out the constitutional
provision for tho expenditure of sucl,
funds and is oboying tho mandate of the
General Ass embly.
