Good News For the 8. C. Union.

We. are agreeably surprised at the
new turn of the affairs Of our South
Carolina Union; new life and a deter
mination to win out over every OBJ
stacle in our way seems to possess oul
people. Within the few days that our
new secretary-tfeasurer has been in
possession of his office, new reports,
dues, applications for literature and
charters have been pouring in to him
in q way to fill his hands and mind
full of work and enthusiasm. We
wish here to congratulate the Union
on their splendid selection in their
new secretary-treasuer, ]. w. Reid,
and to the comparatively few men,
bers who do not know him, we wish
to state here that he Is not only a
highly educated christian gentleman,
but is q business man and has had
over sixteen years experience In q
similar position to the one be now &C.
cupies and mas. always come out of
these tests with spotless linen.

cause for this talk in the fact that the
man who is doing the talking Is the

not the union. .

CAN'T Be SEPARATED,
Sons Abbeville People Have Learned
How to Get Rid of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are well and strong,
the rest of the system is pretty sure TO
be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
R. B. Carter, sol McDufie Street,
Anderson, S. c., says: "For a week or
more I was bothered by pains across
the small of my back. Knowing that
this was the first symptoms of kidney
trouble and having heard of others
that had used Doan's Kidney Pills
with good results, l procured a box.
1 took them only a short time when
the pain disappeared entirely. [ am
willing to recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills as a reliable kidney remedy"

Some of our states are going into the
union business like men that want to
do something. Washington State
charges five dollars imitation fee and
az much dues or more, and some Of the
Tenn, and KY, pinders unions charge
from two 10 four dollars per month IN
the busy season and it pays them to DO
it.
How about the cotton farmer that
gets from five to ten dollars more per
bale for his cotton on account of farm
ers' ordinations aud then refuse to
ioin the Farmers Union on account OF
to pay a one dollar fee. Some
can't dodge the tax on their con-
silence which Is more than q dollar.

4 have always known them ourselves and have
s given them to thousands of customers. Right
/ here is where: Rexall Remedies have always done
more to protect you than is even now required
bv the Pure Food and Drug Law.
You. only know the dangerous drugs IN other
remedies-the rest of their formulas are still
secret. You have always known everything In
every Rexall Remedy.
No, Rexall Remedy is a 'cure-alr-there are
300 different rcmedies-one fer each human Ill
the most reliable and successful remedy tor
that ill proven by years CT experience. We have
sold these Rexall Remedies Upon the squarest
plan on which mcrclandse was ever sold. We
have guaranteed to return the money to every
purchaser who came back with the empty bottle
or package and said that he or she was not salts
| fed-and we've never failed to live up to this
y guarantee. .
The Pure Food Law did not necessitate any
1change in Rexall formulas ON the contrary it
has set the stamp of approval upon them. Best
of all. you can actually br00e that Rexal Reme-
dies are unchanged. You kuev their formulas
four years ago, and you'll find them the same
today
Don't the Rexall Remedies deserve your con-
fdence? Wouldn't you more readily trust a
man whom you had proved to be naturally hon.
est, than one who was honest because he had to
be? You know that Rexall Remedies have been
voluntarily manufactured and sold for four years

the only right way.
