FOLEYSKIDNQEYCJRE
Makes Kidneys and Bladder Right

A story comes from the mountains
near Roanoke, Va, that Jeff Hack
EFT went from one of the upper
counties of South Carolina about 35
years ago. He settled in Floyd
county and was known to be the
stingiest man of his neighborhood
His wife became quite unwell and
doctors bills and medicines made the
cold chills run over him. To save
time he bought coffin in Roanoke
one day and carried it home to have
it handy. Some of the children told
the mother, who called her husband
to her bedside and said to him she
would not need the furniture that
she intended to get well and see him
buried in that same coffin. In two
weeks she was bossing the house.
His nervous system and pocket book
received such a shock that death soon
came and he was buried in cheap
coffin selected for his wife.

Pastor Startles Hearers.

Savannah, Ga, March 9.--Rev. III.
@. Christian, pastor of the Wesleyan
Methodist church, last night preached
sermon that startled his congrega-
tion in its personal disclosures.
In the days of his unregeneraoy
Mr.. Christian was anything rather
than a religious man, as was shown
by the following statement:
81 believe there is hell and [ ex-
press this belief after thirty-one
years of thought and study. Where
it is do not know; what it is is not
perfectly clear in my mind. Strong
argument that there is literal hell
can be found in the Bible. I am in
inclined to the belief that this should
be taken figuratively.
81 was professional gambler and
was once the proprietor of saloon
in the suburbs of your State capital

reformation, and the prayer that
saved me was offered in bar as ]

The State Court Sustained.

Washington, d. c., March IL
The United States Supreme Court
to- day affirmed the opinion of the
Supreme Court of South Carolina in
the case of John Brownfeld versus
the State Of South Carolina. Brown
field is a negro, who resides in South
Carolina and was convicted of mur-
der. He alleged that he had been
denied the equal protection of the law
under the Constitution, because that,
Notwithstanding four fifths of the
people of the community are colored,
all negroes were excluded from the
grand jury by which he was indicted
Justice Holmes, who delivered the
opinion of the Court, said there is no
proof of the allegation, and therefore
sustained the judgment of the State
Court, which was adverse to Brown
field.

Forest Trees In South Carolina.

1t was In the mountains of South Caro-
lima that we saw the largest and finest
trees. Leaving the railroad at Seneca we
drove twenty five miles up river valley,
whittier we went for the purpose of see
ing that most interesting of all American
flowers, Shortia galaxifolia--little colts
foot, the natives of Jocassee Valley call
it, At first our route lay over dreary
stretch of country where dead pine trees
stood in various stages of decay. They
had been girdled for the purpose of kill
ing them. This the settlers do to clear
the land for planting corn and cotton, in
many cases not even removing the
stumps. We passed through many such
fields until we came to a growth of hard
wood, oak predominating, with mistletoe
growing upon its branches. We saw
chestnut trees Id feet in circumference,
tulip trees more than 16a feet in circum-
ference five feet from the ground, and a
liquid amber, o feet in circumference,
sending it's straight strunk into the air
for 124 to 130 feet. with at least rs feet
clear of branches. "A great variety of
trees contributed to the majesty of these
hillsides. There were black walnut,
black birch, persimmon, hemlock and
pines. Best of all, the ground beneath
our feet was carpeted with the shining
evergreen leaves of Shortia. A sight Of
this beautiful flower in bloom in its ma
tive habitat was the browning point of
our trip and gave an added zest to the
inter resting story of its rediscoyery in
this country after having been lost to
scientists so many years. From Lecture
by Miss Emma G.. Cummings before
Massachusetts horticultural Society.

Battle In a Baptist Church.

Augusta, Ca, March 9.-At
Mount Pleasant Baptist church, six
miles from Johnston, S. O., two fac

faction forbade the Rev. Kit Jones
to preach last Sunday night. The
other faction insisted on preaching
and the minister went into the pull
pit. AS he announced the hymn the
opposing faction entered the church
and fred upon him. Two of the
preachers friends were in the pulpit
with him and they returned
the fire. Joe Hammond was shot
dead and his three sons seriously
wounded.

have two bitter antagonistic factions.
At the Wednesday night prayer

his rights and SAID another one would
have to crawl over his dead body to
get in the chair. A good brother
proposed to stand by his pastor. The
factions then had very stormy
time. They remained until 3 a. m,
when by mutual agreement all left at

Clemson College, March I.--Clemson
College comes to the front again In the
person OF Il. b. Lee, q member of the
present Sophomore class, who has in
vented q most ingenious device for use on
looms, the appliance being especially
adapted to tho we'll kcowu Draper looms,
SO widely used In cotton mills.
Mr.. Lee is a. PeIzer boy and has had
which taught him tho necessity for
such device as he has gotten up SO
successfully. In a loom when filling
breaks or gives out the loom should be
stopped so that the bobtin may be re-
threaded or replaced. For this purpose
the loom is provided with filling mo
ton, comprising rack on the lay, q
filing fork on n slide, a lever for commu,
nicatinp the motion Of the cano to che
ford and a lever for pushing tho shipper
handle from tho OBTAINING notch. The
filling fork detects the presence or alb
sence of the filling. This, with the
rack, knocks the fork, on the forward
beat and keeps the loom running. But
IL the filling gives out or breaks the fork
la not raised and the loom stops, This
rack is therefore unreliable. for IL there
la apy play In the Law the sides of the
rack will strike the prongs of the fork
and knock it up, preventing the LOOMS
being stopped. These racks get clogged
with lint or loose threads, which would
also prevent it's stopping. But unless
the loom is stopped promptly In such
cases ga thin place. will be made in the

Deposit Money d BANKS.

Recently when q big robbery took
place not farfrom here a rnan 'phoned
to bank and wanted to know if
the bank would be responsible for
stolen money. The bank answered
yes, of course.
This illustrates that many people
do not understand about banks.
Laurcns mas four banks, all strong
institutions. There is lot of money
in the county. There is lot in
these banks. There is also lot out
side.
Every bank is provided with a
first-class vault. Any bank is ten
times as safe as private house. The
individual who keeps large sums in
his pockets has neither the money
safe no his life safe. Now and then
in the country people are killed for
their money. This rarely happens
in town.
The man who keeps his money in
a bank learns business habits. All
\ progressive men, there are no excep-
tions to this rule, deal with banks.
There is great deal of money in
this country that is not in banks.
Does it help the banks to deposit in
themp Certainly it does. But it
helps the depositor too. If we had
no banks in this country wouldn't
we be in nice fix !? If we had no
depositors we would have no banks.
The man who is regular deposit
tor will always have banking friends.
The banks look after those who help
them. That's the first rule in the
banking business. There is a time
when every man wants to borrow
some time or other in his life. When
he can put his money in the safest
place possible-in a bank-vand at the
same time make friend of the bank,
it is strange that he fails sometimes
to do it.
The great power of the New Eng,
land States lies in the fact that the
working people there have hundreds
of millions of dollars laid away in
the banks.-Laurens Advertiser.

residue TO develop for cuttings. "A
proper portion of said draws may be
transplanted for early potatoes; re-
move the roots from the residue of
draws ard then root the stems as fol-
lows:
Construct in rich soil a narrow bed
eight to swelve inches broad.
To root outings of three leaves
shove two leaves down into the soil
at least one inch apart, leaving one
joint above ground. To root the
succors from the stubs, or the draws
after the roots have been removed,
leave a proper portion of Che buds
above ground. Settle the soil with
water and draw loose earth around the
plants. If the weather be warm pro-
tect from the sun for few days by
a proper covering. Roots will soon
start. Then dig up the plants, (don't
pril them up) and transplant in the
usual way. Cuttings thus rooted will
live better and grow off more rapidly
than draws.
When practical sweet potatoes
should be grown on a clover or cow
pea sod that was heavily fertilized
with POI ash and phosphoric acid, in
which case but little further fertili-
zing will be needed.
If the above plan is impractical
run deep burrows four feet apart and
places therein corn stalks, cotton
stalks, corn cobs, or anything of the
kind and cover lightly, this should
have been done in early fall, but will
yet pay well.
