prfsing merchants of Columbia and
Augusta. 1t is these men that are sup
porting the Advocate and in great
measure the Advocate suppoI ting them.
There is not lay that passes that our
tOwnspeople do not take their money
away to one of the above mentioned
places ard srend it for goods that they
do not know are right here under their
own noses and which they pass from
day to day.. They have no means OF
finding out, as the merchant is satisfied
to put few articles in the show win
dow and let the balance of his
stock be inquired for. He can not af-
ford to advertise i'm the Advocate. the
paper which has made his business
what it is. Oh no, he would rathe,
walk out TO the station with his hands
n 5 pockets (as his store has no
buyers) and watch his possible
customers 60 off TO spend their
money elsewhere. Don't you think il
speaks badly for our townspeople not
to show a spirit in behalf Of Bates
bnrS's advancement? Don't you think
1T looks as if you are trying to kill your
benefactor? Don't you think that you
are not showing the right spirit? Don't
you think that you are standing in
your own light? and lastly, don't YOU
see that you are losing trade by hiding
your goods in your store so that no
one knows what you have to oifzr them,
and that to save few dollars Won are
losing what the Advocate has placed
within your reach? The above is not
written as an appeal to your pockets,
but for your pockets, anu the soone
you come to realize it the better vour
material condition.
This article is not written to keep
the wolf from the door, as the adver-
tising colums of the Advocate 90 to
show, but to demonstrate the fact that
Batesbnrg's progress depends Upon
the Advocates progress.
To those who have and are support-
ing us in our uphill flight we extend
our thanks and assure them that, till
the last ditch is crossed, the Advocate
will stand for Batesburg and her ad-
vancement. We are not at the politi-
cal but the industrial grindstone, sing.

RYDALE'S TONIC
A REAL CURE FOR
MT a T. A D.T A


1t has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply IN the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Ouinine,
Iron, etc, stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. 1t also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries 1t drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.
RYDALE'S TONIC is a blood
builder, nerve restorer, and Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap-
point you.

Borax In Food.

The very common practice among
tanners of using borax in the curing
of bacon, as was shown some time
since in the Pool discussion on the
curing of meat, makes the investiga-
tions that have been carried ON by
DR., Wiley of the Department of Ag-
riculture, very important. Several
strong young men were experimental
on and borax and boracic acid used
in various quantities in their food.
When the doses were large the results
were a persistent headache, fullness
In the head and a clouding of the
mental faculties. While very small
amounts did not seem to produce
appreciate results, the conclusion
was that when such materials, not
necessary nor natural in foods. exert
a very marked injurious effect when
used in large quantities for a short
time, they would certainly produce
a bad effect when used for a long
time in very small quantities. The
general conclusion is that it is not
advisable to use borax or p~reserva-
tives of that character in articles of
food intended for common use. At
the time this matter was discussed
in the Pool, and so many stated that
they used borax on their bacon, we
said that our opinion was that the
practice was a bad one, and that
there is no need for the use of borax
in the curing of meat. And the only |
in the use of saltpetrs
even is to give the meat the desirable
red color. Good salt is all that is
really necessary in the curing of
meat.-Practical Farmer.

We are glad to know that the
South has not yet reached the place
where we need an additional lot of
human machines, of men brought
here just because they have so much
muscle and so much power of indur-
'ance. When it comes to the ques-
ton of importing mere labor-power,
we infinitely prefer a real wood or
metal machine to a human machine.
If we must be dependent on machin-
cry, let it be the real thing. and
in this direction we think we car

labor question. Use more and better

Hold On to the Negro.

But Notwithstanding these and
many other faults which he has, we
are not prepared to swap the negro
for the Chinaman. The negro is
here, and he is here to stay. He
knows the color line and we know it.
and there is no danger to be feared
along the line of social equality,if the
South is left to solve its own prob
lens. We can protect ourselves by
such legislation and such manage
ment as the case demands. But if
you substitute the Chinaman, or n
similar race of pauper labor from
the old world, we cannot so success
fully do this. There will always be
trouble along the line of social equal
ity, inter-marriage and miscegena-
ton. So for this reason, if for no
other, we prefer the negro race to
any other for the South.
Again, we know the negroes char

that what money he earns he will
spend right here among US, and that
his entire earnings will thus be a
perpetual contribution to the re-
ources of the country and will help
to keep plenty of circulating medi-
UNI in motion. With the Chinaman
as a laborer, this matter would be
different. He would hoard his earn
ings, and they would be sent back
to the mother-country, and they
would thus be taken entirely from
our incomes; or he would soon be-
come an investor in real estate, and
In a short time buy our heritage
from under US.
Neither of these results are at all
desirable. Again, we do not care

Farm Work as Attractive as City Work.

The funny CO editor of the city
paper bemoans the hard lot of the
farmer, who must pillow, harrow, cul-
tivate and harvest and spend his life
at the worst kind of drudgery. The
city man intiraates that the farmer
is the hardest worked individual on
earth. Now is this true? The farm
er of to-day, if he will. may ride
when he plows, ride when he harrows,
ride when he plants, ride under an
umbrella when he c~ultivates, ride
when he cuts his hay or his grain,
ride when he rakes his hay. ride
when he drives the team which ele-
Yates his hay to stack or NOW, ride
when he cuts his corn. In other
words, a great part of the drudgery
on a farm has been eliminated. True.
there r some d~isagreeable and
heavy tasks which must be done by
hand, but these are becoming less
and less formidable each year. Then
the busy season lasts only six or
seven months.
How about the great majority of
people who live in the cities2 A very
small per cent have short hours and
comparatively easy tasks. The bulk
of the population work in factories,
shops, stores and on the streets every
week day in the year (and many on
Sundays) no matter what the wealth
er. The air is not too pure; they
are under a constant strain which
breaks them down comparatively
early in life; competition for a place
is so great that steady employment
cannot be assured; they never know
what really good meats, fruits and
vegetables are; their homes are small
and associations are not the best.
The farmers boy should not become
dicontented or led astray by the city
dweller, who does not know what real
comfort is and who has no con-
ception of affairs outside of his cir
cumscribed circle.-Selected.

Talking to oneself has this obvious
advantage over any other form Of ora
tory or gossip; One is assured of a
sympathetic audience. But it has also
this peculiar drawback: 1t is supposed
to be one Of the early symptoms OF In

doctor might rule the habit out of his
diagnosis. Nevertheless the popular
belief is firmly rooted, and 1t is for
fear of this belief doubtless that we
