COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a NeWberry Household Will
Find Them So.

To have the pains and aches Of a
bad back removed; to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous uri-
nary disorders is enough to make any
kidney sufferer grateful. To tell
how this great change can be brought
about will prove comforting words
to hundreds of Newbery readers.
Mrs. j. M. Wheeler, Prosperity,
S. c., says: "My kidneys Were dis
ordered for a long time, causing ter
hible pains through my loins and
limbs. There was also a constant
ache in my back and on some occa-
sions, T could scarcely get about.
The kidney secretions were too ire
quent in passage and annoyed me
greatly. I consulted several physl-
clans and tried any number of kid
ney remedies, but did not improve
in the least. I had about given up
hope of ever being cured when my
son-in-law procured a box OF Doan s
Kidney Pills for me at W. b. Pelham
& Sons drug store. He had read
that they were good for kidney trou-
BILE and told me to try them. l did

of two boxes, my baekache had dis
appeared and my kidneys had been
restored to their normal condition..

A Novel Experiment.
Yorkville ENQUIRER.

Y orkvllle Enquirer.
That is a novel experiement that
Mr.. Henry Caldwell of Spartanburg
is making, that idea Of breaking up
corn land with dynamite, and it Will
be watched with: great interest. How
it is going to turn out, we confess
that we have mo idea, and we shall
not attempt to predict. There are
those who think that the deep break
ing up Of land in the spring is fatal
to good crop the same season.; but
are Of opinion that the result Will be
beneficial later on. There is a COM
monty accepted theory that bacteria
is one Of the most important, and an
absolutely essential requisite to the
production Of good crops. The ex-
perts assert as fact that lightning
kills the bacteria in the ground sur
rounding, wherever it strikes. We
have an idea that this killing is due
to the intense heat as well as to>the
shock. The explosions of dynamite
would be accompanied by both heat
and shock, but it may affect the bac-
terra adversely. Of course, also there
may be bad effects from the turning
up of too much clay subsoil at this
season. But, however, all this may
be, we do not want to be understood
as suggesting any unfavorable criti-
cism of Mr.. Caldwell, whether his
crop is a good one or not, we admire
the originality of his experiment, and
we think he is entitled to applause
for trying to do something.

provided Miss 'Caroline's heart still
lbeat true, and "was unf7ttered,
fancy free.'
After much beating about the bush,
it was all arranged, that the two
should be married near the end OF
the year, which was accordingly con-
summated.
Maj. Baldwin did the handsome
part by his son. As soon as the Pur-
dee family moved, the overseer's
house was renovated, additions put
to it. In all it was made to look neat
and comfortable. Jake and his young
wife started out to housekeeping
with the highest of hopes and pros
poets. Everything was bright and
rosy to the blissful young couple. 10
them the sun seemed to shed a more
brilliant luster, the great full moon,
looked like moulten silver, every rose
and shrub was a lilly. The birds
chirped sweeter than in days gone by,
and all in all, they were just as hap
py as "when the morning stars sang
together.
Jake started with his farming op-
erations with energy and a will.
Fences were changed, old ones torn
down and new ones built, grounds
were cleared, and bitches dug. Or
chards we're set out, and the young
wife was busy with her yard, her
roses and flowers. The negroes no
longer wore that detected and care
worn look, but sang again the melo-
dies Of the old plantation songs. In
all his operations, Cage was Jake's
nan "Friday,'' and it really looked
/ ike, as Cage said, 'We jist natural
| ly is gwine to tear things to pieces
here, if God gibs us grace, and We
gifts plenty rain.''
It was the talk of the neighborhood,
"What great improvements Jake
Baldwin had made in his daddy's old
quarter place, and that he was worth
two oVerseers. -
He took great interest in the poll
tics and welfare Of the community,
became an advisor to his friends, and
an all round useful citizen. In time
little girl came to bless the lives Of
the thoroughly happy couple, and
when all the negroes came in to see
the "little miss" Of the Baldwin
quarter, Cage said Chit was shore
enough des zaekly lack Miss Calline,
and hit look Lack Marse Jake too"
But great rumhling and disturb
ing sound could be heard, rolling
away southwark from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, gathering force and
strength with the passing Of every
day. Many talked Lightly Of the gath
ering storm, and declared it would
soon pass away. But Jake Baldwin
viewed the matter differently, and he
had many serious talks with his wife
of the coming cataclysm. He haad
often declared no tie could bind clos
er than his State, and if hostilities
came he would go with the South
right or wrong. While he doubted
the wisdom Of disunion, yet nothing

TO admire his gentiity, his manners:
and department. His mother was ali
smiles al the reformation and trans
formation but the old Major had a
haggard and hang dog expression
When he saw what great ohane time
had wrought in his son, he was haunt
ed with the knowledge Of his unjust
will. But how change it now and
ever expect peace in the househoid
again, should his son possibly back
slide on his home coming?
Jake took all things easy and was
anaously awaiting the return OF Miss
Caroline from school. One day Gage
had an opportunity to have a little
gossip with his young master.
"Now look here Marse Jake, dis
here still wedder' amt gwlne to las
case T heard ole Miss talking. She
say you bledge to fall back in your ole
way, eff Cage staid about. Ole Mars
ter. too, is mighty up sot about some
tin. He tole Wagner Mingo he was
ovine to Columbia and wanted him
Ito take a load of cotton. He is shore
sot for Mingo said he heard him
ssin one day to hisself, not cussln
xiv neider, but shaking his fist,
he heard him say dam couply
S. I tell you what less us DO.
lPurdee is gwine to his own place
year, and you tell Marster to let
have de quarter place. l KIN
to de hoe hands and you de
and less US sho dem quarter
Is how to make a big crap, If
S r,unaways once.' Then Cage
IA good laugh over the remem-
ee Of by-gone days. His young
..ster smiled, as the long ago came
back TO him, thrugh Cages mention
ing ir, thsst changeful epoch in his lite.
Jake began earnestly to revolve
Cage,s advice in his mind and one
day proposed it to his father and 1t
was readily accepted. His father
took the occasion to speak highly Of
Cage as a trusty field hand. His
mother was suspicious of the arrange
ment, and doubted Jake's ability to
withstand the influence of Gage, but
both the ladies gave their aequles-
cenee.
In due time Miss Purdee came
home from the boarding school, the
embodiment Of ali the graces OF a
ssyoung girl graduate, - the picture
of Ioveliness and beauty. It must be
said to her credit, that she was not
spoiled by her beauty and accom-
pishments, nor had she any vain con-
ceit. Miss May was frank enough
to say, "She seemed to know her
place and had not forgotten she was
an overseer's s daughter
But old Mrs. Baldwin said, "she
\couldn't stomach these poor White
folks, who tried to take on the ways
of their betters.'' ~
Jake did not meet her at the spr1ng
as of yore. He had an inspiration.
He was now a poor man, he would
90 to the Purdee home, and boldly
claim the hand of their daughter,

could stay his hand from taking up
arms to defend his States action.
While Mrs. Carolina did not attempt
to influence him or try to prevail on
him to shirk his duty, yet she pray
ed nightly, that the bugle blast Of
war might never come.
