LIFE SAVED BY
FRIENDS ADVICE

About three years ago I suffered with
appendicitis and after having an operation
performed it lef. mo with a severe case
of kidney trouble. was doctored by sew.
eral physicians and getting no relief took
the advice of friend and procured bot
tie of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root. After
taking the contents of the first bottle felt
greatly relieved and decided to continue it.
After using the contents of three more doh
lar bottles, l experienced complete cure.
l cannot recommend DR.. Kilmer's
swamp-Root too highly to anyone suffer-
Ing from kidney or bladder trouble.
Yours very truly,

The way to control the price of cot
ton is to grow on the farm what you
need for the farm and to make your
cotton a surplus crop and then to
grow all the cotton you can regard
less Of the price. We nave said this a
hundred times before, but il is so
true it will bear repetition. Look
around you and you can End practical
demonstration of it's truth. As a rule
the all cotton grower never makes
any money when the price il up, and
the farmer who follows the rule here
stated makes little money even when
the price is down. Resolutions about
holding and curtailing and reducing
acreage are all rigH., Dut the rule we
give will beat them all.

Mr.. Robertson said that today was

him instructions to be extra careful

'sTHE LONG ROLL" is UNJUST
SAYS MRS. JACKSON

A dispatch from Charlotte says:
Mrs. "Stonewall" Jackson's anticipat-
ed article replyin gto Mary Johnson's
of her husband in
"The Long Roll" has appeared and is
entitled "Stonewall Jackson, the Man
The article itself is about. two col
umns and a half in length, and re-
plies in detail to several eccentrici-
ties which Miss Johnston alleges of
General Jackson.
Ms. Jackson declares that the por-
trayal of General Jackson's character
in "The Long Roll'' is as "miserably
unjust and unlikenesslike' as the
"hideous carricature" which is used
as a. frontispiece. The habit Of jerk
ing his hand, and sucking lemons, says
the writer, were unknown to her; but
she tells a story to explain the dilap-
idated condition of the "old gray cap
When in winter quarters, during the
last year of his life the general cut
the gold braid from his new cap and
presented it to the young child of the
family whose hospitality he was &C
cepting. In respect to the "old dust
colored clothes" the statement is made
that General Jackson's mind was so
wholly occupied with, his arduous du-
ties that he found no time to array
himself in fine clothes-even forget
ting that he was making himself con-
spicuous in paying so little attention
to dress" Several persons who knew
General Jackson intimately are quoted
in contradiction to Miss Johnston's es-
innate. In his home life he is said to
have been ga man of the highest cour-
tesy, careful in dress and appearance
as are all West Pointers, of great re-
fnement of thought and speech, of un-
usual gentleness of manner and a
lover of children"
"He was often misjugded as harsh
and unjust by those who had less
knowledge of military law" says his
wife, though his heart was really as
tender as that of a woman. I re-
member in one of my visits to Lex
ington, Va, General Lee said to me
so sadly: All Mrs. Jackson, if all our
men had done their duty as your hus-
band did, the rosult Of the war would
have been very different
Mrs. Jackson asserts that she would
not have undertaken to reply to a
work of fiction, but that she could not
remain silent after the interview of
Miss Johnson with a reporter of the
Baltimore Sun, wherein she averred
that she was "absolntely correct

The Herald has been watching with
a great deal of interest the expert
ments in other counties with rural
policemen and we have come to the
conclusion that it would be a good
idea for the county commissioners to
provide rural policemen for Dillon
county. There is a great deal of law
aessness on the public highways that
never comes to the attention OF the
proper authorities and We believe that
a couple of active and vigilant rural
policemen would more than earn the
salary they would receive from the
county. The speeding of automobiles
and the reckless discharge of firearms,
On the public highways are two nuis-
ances that should be- abated, and the
only way to get after such off, ders
is to patrol the highways with mount
ed officers. We believe We voice the
sentiment of two-thirds of the tax pay
ers of the county in recommending to
The county commissioners the en-
ploynent of rural policemen and we
should be glad to see the board take
the matter up at it's next meeting
Dillon Herald.
Some ten years ago when the editor
of The Herald and News was a mem
Der of the legislature he introduced a
bill providing for system Of rural
police for the entire State, but he was
not able to convince the legislature
that it was the proper thing, and the
bill failed of passage.
1t was a good bil4 and should have
been made a law. The purpose then
was to have it take the place of the
liquor constabulary.
There is no reason why the people
who live in the rural districts should
not have the protection of a constaDu-
Iary, and the proper and most effec-
tive system would be a system cover
ing the entire State.
Of course the county constabulary
is of value and will do good service,
but a we'll organized force covering
the entire State would be vastly more
effective.
