Of Doan's Kidney Pills. suffered
from kidney trouble for several
years. There were pains in the
small Of my back and at times I was
bothered by irregular passages OF the
kidney secretions. The use Of sew
eral remedies brought me but little
relief and when saw Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised, went to the Peo-
pies Drug Co. and procured sup
ply. Although I have not taken them
long enough to justify cure, from
the benefit already received, feel
that it will be but short time be-

Advice to a Farmer Boy.

No man ever makes big success
in anything, by accident. If some
body has stuffed your head with the
idea that men succeed in this world
by luck, you may just put it down
that that somebody doesn't know
what he is talking about. Whether
you are going to be a farmer or
college president, you must ut your
self for whatever you are going to be.
No matter what sort of work you
are doing, try to do it little better
than the other fellow. Emerson
says somewhere that if man can do
anything supremely well, no matter
if he live in a wilderness, the world
will make a beaten path to his door.
And this is very true. rode the
other day to see a farmer who lives
not many miles from where l am
writing and found that the Governor
of the State had just been there to
see his corn crop, and great num-
Der of other men had come miles and
miles to see this mans farm. And
why? Simply because he had done
more with an acre than any other
man in the county.
If your brother wants to go to
town to clerk in a store and measure
calico as somebody else's hired man,
let him go. You stay on the farm
where you can be Independent, living
under your own vine and fig tree,
and where you can take part in all
these great movements that are go
ing to count for 50 much in human
progress and in the worlds develop
ment these next fifty years.
We have had too many farmer
boys already who have made second
rate merchants and clerks who might
have made prominent farmers and
men of influence in their counties.
It is great deal better and more
honorable to raise Southern meat
than it is to sell Western meat.
1t is a great deal better and more
useful to be leader in showing how
to make more cotton per acre than it
is to merely measure on a certain
number of yards of cotton goods
when a buyer wants it.
Don't give up the independence of
farm life. In the city shops and
stores only a small proportion Of TIE
workers own their own homes or
have any chance to do work that
counts for much in these great pro-
gressive movements we have been
discussing. The boy who is shut up
in a factory in the South has only
one chance of usefulness and inde-
pendence for twenty that you and
other farmer boys have.-Raleigh
On. c. Progressive Farmer.

TELEPHONE DON'TS.
Temper Justice With Mercy in Your
Treatment of Operators.

Do not allow yourself to get into
the habit Of long conversations over
the telephone People who do this
lose all perception of the times when
they may be annoying or disturbing
others.
Particularly in the case of party
wires is there call for consideration.
Some one else may urgently desire to
use this same telephone ovevr which
you are gossiping.
Do not use the telephone of the
woman upon whom you are calling
unless it is absolutely necessary.
Thoughtless women often make a
convenience of their friends in this
respect. Your hostess may not wish
to take you into the part of the house
in which the telephone is situated,
or when frequently done it may
prove considerable expense to her.
Do not call up men in business
hours if you can possibly help it.
If 1t is necessary to do so, be as
brief as possible.
Do. not tell things which, you do
not wish known over the telephone.
Conversations are often audible to
all Of the persons in the room with
the person to whom you are talking.
If it Is business conversation it is
well to think what you are going to
|say beforehand. Orders or requests
are frequently understood through
the hesitation and changeableness Of
the person giving them.
Finally, temper justice with mercy
in your treatment of the young wom-
an operators who answer your calls.
Their business Is tedious and wear
Ing one, and it is almost impossible
to be always eagerly attentive.

Murdered for Her Money.

Manassas, Va, Nov. 21.-Murder-

is the fate that overlook Miss Ella
Smith some time last night. Miss
Smiths charred body was discovered

house on the Bull Run battlefield this

"Still" Captured in Aiken.

Aiken, Nov. 17.-Tuesday after
noon Dispensary Constables s. E.
Holley and Musco Samuels brought
to town a large 60-gallon liquor
liquor "still." which they captured
in the swamp Of the Runs" about
Is miles South of Aiken. This still
was the first to be captured In that
section, and its location was doubt
less due to the fact that the diligent
officers have routed them from the
Edisto swamps, where they have
thrived in the past. In the last year
or two at least half dozen stills
have been captured in the Edisto
swamps.
The still is decidedly the best one
yet captured. 1t was not 50 very old
and was in drst-class condition.

A GHouLIsH WORK.

Representatives Of the Italian consul
working to alleviate the conditions OF
the italian women who lost husbands
and sons in the mine fatality at Cher
ry. Ill, have learned that the shark
lawyer has made his appearance on
that scene of desolation and sorrow.
They have been at work among the
dependent families of the victims, seek
ing to secure their claims against the
operators on basis of so per cent
One of the investigators declared that
he "had been kept busy all day warn
ing the women to seek advice OF union
officials, their priest, Or the consul to
avoid being robbed by men who have
not hesitated to descend into what IS
today the most sorrowful and desolate
place in the world
The Bar associations to which these
sharks belong should make an example
of the members of their profession
who would stoop to engage in such
miserable work as that OF imposing
on the ignorance and distracted condi-
ton of these sorrowing women.

been published and then loud objec-
ton is made because the true census
taken does not come up to the figures
of the estimated population. 1t is not
hard in these cases to find many COM
ing forward with statements that their
names were not secured. There will
he none of this if the citizens exercise
sufficient care before the census rolls
are closed in seeing that their names
are properly enrolled.
The Commercial association and city
officials of the cities and towns in the
district should work with and under
the direction of the supervisor to the
end that the 1910 census will be as it
should be, complete in every detail.
The farmers and stockmen will be
asked to give their best efforts toward
aiding in making the census COM
plete. The list of questions they will
be asked to answer will be published
later, together with instructions from
the census department as to the part
expected of them.

THE COURIER JUNIORS.

The child of today Is the groWn-up
AZ tomorrow. Many of the youthful
correspondents who contributed let
ters and stories to the Junior pages
of the past are now grown-ups. They
have made way for their younger
brothers and sisters who now await
with interest the Thursday paper when
their letters and the letters OF their
little friends and the stories they con-
tribute to the Junior prize competl-
tons are published.
The Junior page is great educator,
not only to the Juniors but to their
elders. The boy and girl who work
1aboriously over the letters to the
editor benefit not only through the
satisfaction we all feel at seeing some
thing we have written in print. There
is a .delving into grammars and spell
ers when the letters that are to ap,
pear in print are written that cannot
but bear good results. The improve
ment shown in the manuscripts OF the
regular contributors gives proof OF
this.
Read the Junior page in the Courier
this evening, you grown-up, and see II
YOU will not find the page to be OF
genuine interest to you.

PUBLICITY, A DIVORCE CURE.

The newspapers of New York, Chi
cago and the other large cities have
been loud in their protest against the
practice of many of the courts of sup
pressing divorce proceedings where
the parties to the suit are rich and in
fiuential and are able to use this in
tluence in securing secret court hear
ings and sealing OF the papers in
piled to them the term yellow Jour
nails because they insist on publish
ing the testimony in divorce cases,
feeling certain that there is far less
evil in publishing this evidence, how
ever sensational it may be, than there
is in the easy and secret divorce,
without publicity. The editors be-
lieye that publicity is the best cure for
The divorce evil. If secret divorces
were the general rule as they are made
to apply in special cases where the
courts see fit to suppress the proceed
ings, they believe that divorces would
be much more prevalent. They feel
and a great many OF the clergy share
their views, that the public should be
made material third party in every
divorce, and especially SO in cases
where the parties are men and women
of wealth and responsibility who seek
a secret divorce in order that they. may
avoid exposure and fraudulently retain
their leadership in the community. II
the revelations made and suppressed
at such trials are of character that
would weaken the influence of such
parties in the community, then the
public has a right to demand that it
know the truth and be placed in a
position to govern itself accordingly
The sins that go to make up what ID
known as the social evil are not con-
| sidered sins by a great many people
unless they are found out. The feal
that their sins could not be kept from
/ the public by the exercise of their in.
| fiuence would undoubtedly restrain
many from taking the downward path
| that leads TO the divorce court

AIDING IN THE CENSUS.

w. FL. H. Asbury, supervisor or the
census for the sixth congressional dis
trict, is hard at work on the preliml-
nary plans for the giant undertaking
to be begun early in the new year. MI.
Asbury's district is thiclIly settled and
he and the enumerators who will work
under his direction will have hard
task in taking complete census in
the seven counties. The task will be
greatly lessened, however, if the peo-
pie lend their cooperation.
The people may cooperate in this
matter by making sure their names
are secured by the enumerators, and
il is their duty to see that they are
properly enrolled An injustice will
be done to the cities and towns of the
district il by any chance the enumer
ators do not secure all the names
Sucn contingency cannot arise, how
ever, if the citizens do their part and
cooperate with the supervisors and
enumerators in the work.
The taking of the census is q work
in which the public is vitality interest
ed. Too many times this interest is
not taken until after the figures have

THE VANISHING NINE TAlLoRs.

+ A New York paper mas louuu w
reading recent bulletin OF the
United States bureau of labor that the
. old saw, cit takes nine tailors to make
! a man. is sadly in need OF revision up
ward. 1t has found that it takes thirty
nine men of different trades just TO
make a coat under the present method
of shop manufacture. The day when
one tailor measured the customer, cut
out the cloth, and, with his apprentice,
shaped it into finished and pressed
garment has practically passed. Here
is the way the New York paper found
it is done today.
"Today all one tailor may do through
his entire life is to mark the place
where buttons are to be seWed on. All
other man never marks places FOR but-
I tons; his specially is to mark putton-
+ holes. A third man spends the long
day in sewing on buttons; fourth III
making buttonholes. Men who sew
sleeves do not make armholes; the
arrohole men give place to shoulder
sbaners. and these last do not touch
collars. which are distinct specially.
Even the men who manipulate the
tailor's goose are divided into pressers
of seams, edges, Innings, sleeves ana
coat pressers. The basters stick TO
one distinct speciality of basting,, and
a separate functionary, the bastlns
nuller undoes their work. Even the
coat strap is a separate province. SO
that when the coat is finished it rep,

work by as many men. And when a
man finally puts on the coat he is

A st. Louis clergyman accuses his
brothers of the ministry of laziuess be-
cause they do not preach longer Ser
mons. II believes that good sermon
should consume about an hour and
forty-ive minutes in the preaching. 1t
is hard to make a hard and fast rule
in this regard. Some speakers from
the pulpit and the platform can held
the attention of their hearers for an
indefinite length of time. Others
finish all they have to say in thirty
minutes and what. is left is what the
reporter who tries to stretch story
beyond it's true length terms as pad
