Residents of Edgefield Cannot
Doubt What Has Been
Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief
from aches and pains of bad backs,
from. distressing kidney ills, thou
sands have publicly recommended
Doan's kidney pills. Residents of
this vicinity who so testified years
ago, now say their cures were per-
manent. This testimony doubly
proves the worth of Doan's kidney
pills to Edgefeld kidney sufferers.
RI. Newsom, 2l9 Washington
street, Augusta, Ca, says: i take
pleasure in confirming everything |
said in regard to Doan's kidney pills
in my former public statement, given
in 1908. 1 have not had occasion to
use this remedy but once since then.
About month ago I felt lame
ness in my back caused by over
lifting and I again began using
Doan's kidney pills. They removd
the trouble at once and I have not
had return attack. l cannot say
too much in praise of Doan's kid
ney pills.

Wrecks and Cats and Dogs.

There is an odd provision in the
English law on wrecks. It used to
be that wrecks, like pretty nearly ev-
erything else, belonged to the king.
Sometimes, If vessel were only part
ly wrecked and it could be raised, an
owner. was averse to surrendering 1t.
but it was generally seized for the king
In accordance with the law until the
question came up as to just what was
a wreck. It was generally admitted
that when all hands were lost that
was a wreck, but as they wanted to
get as, narrow a definition as they
could they got parliament to establish
q law that In future nothing shall
be considered wreck out Of which
cat or dog escapes alive, and from
that time until the present day no
vessel coasts about England without
carrying a cat or dog.

Canvas Currency.

Banknotes appear in much the same
form throughout the world and have
always done so except in China, where
the earliest note was made of canvas,
some six centuries before the Christian
era. 1t was more like tablecloth
than banknote, its length being
about two meters, or six feet six inch
es. This form Of note was not very
convenient when large sums were con-
cerned, SO later the note was printed
on parchment, and all other forms Of
money were suppressed. One emperor
issued notes representing more than
three thousand millions. But the mon
ey was never popular, and gradually
the notes were retired.

A A,oueer Freak.

Milreau, who was said to have been
connected with some Of the best fami-
lies in France and to have possessed
considerable means until ruined by the
Panama canal disaster, was one Of the
best frishds the beggars Of Paris ever
had, and to obtain funds for helpilg
them he became systematic thief. He
used to frequent the fashione reets
uuring the day and pick locse.s, and
by night, dressed In ragged .othes, he
dispensed the spoils to tie first beg
gars he met. For years he continued
the practice without being suspected,
and It was by pure chance that he.
eventually did fall into the hands Of
the police. When his lodgings were
searched sufficiently empty purses were
found to fill large packing case, and
it was made clear that he had stolen
hundreds of watches and scarfpins,
while he had been pinching and con-
triving to live a respectable man on a
few francs a week saved from the ruin
Of his fortune.

'The fussy individual who always
has run in with the waiter never
fares any better than the rest Of us
who are satisfied to take things as
they come" said the homeless bach
elor. 81 took breakfast with one of
these fussers the other morning in a
little cafe uptown that was new to
both of us.
Call he wanted was cup of coffee
and a couple Of boiled eggs. But you
might have thought the universe de-
pended upon those eggs. After having
given the waiter minute instructions
as to their preparation, he sat with his
watch In his hands. n.
FINALLY the eggs came, and there
was lot more powwow. AS he crack
ed the shell Of one he turned to the
waiter and said, Are you sure these
eggs are positively freshP
"And the waiter, who had watery
eyes and a very red nose, replied with
all seriousness: Il really can't say, sir.

here and there a tree,

Old Edgefeld, how your bosom thrilled
not twenty years ago,s
How fervently your feelings warmed
and. kindled to glow,
When'er you heard Manly's voice, or
listened-to Minis;
One famous for his eloquence, the
other for his hymns.
Old Edgeield, have yor never felt,
since twenty years ago,
There was religion in your heart, not
merely outward show?
The warning sounds methinks l hear,
still ringing in your ears,
Your glistening eyes methinks l see,
still melting into tears.
Old Edgefeld, in your joy and grief,
some twenty years ago,
The one had such rapture then, the
other such flew,
That, like rushing torrent, which the
soul could not oppose,
The more that you resisted it the
higher it but rose.
Old Edgefeld, in your pilgrimage, some
twenty years ahead, @
When he that now admires you shall
slumber with the dead.
Remember that for you he felt cen
more than he would tell,
Remember that he breathed his last
in wishing you farewell.

How to Apply Lime.

"Should lime be spread broadcast
and let remain on top the land all
winter or spread just before plow-
ing?" Neither. Lime should not
be left entirely on the surface, nor
should it be plowed in deeply. The
place to spread lime is just after
plowing the land, and then harrow
it in lightly. Lime sinks rapidly
into the soil, and we want it to af-
feet the whole soil. Hence, we put
it on top and merely harrow it in.

How to Cure Pork.

This is the time of the year when
the farmer is confronted with the
problem of securing and preparing
his supply of cured meat for next
summer. His success in securing
pork that is palatable, and that will
be relished when it reaches the ia
BILE, depends largely upon his meth
cd of curing it. Pork from a hog
that has been properly fed can be
made to furnish an excellent sup
ply, if few simple rules are OBJ
served in cutting and curing.
All meat that is to 60 into the
cnring-vessel must be thoroughly
cooled before it is packed. 1t is al
SO well to let it cool thoroughly be-
fore attem pting to cut it into con-
venient pieces, because it is frmer
and can be cut into much smoother
pieces than when it is warm.
Pork may be dry-salted, or cured
in brine; the latter being the most
desirable for average farm condi-
Itions, because it requires less atten-
ton and takes up less room. When
pork is dry.cured it is necessary to
rehandle the meat and rub it several
times with the curing materials
used. With the brine process the
meat is put in the vessel, the brine
poured over it; and it will not be
necessary to handle it again until
it is ready to be taken out and
smoked.
In cutting the pork, trim all parts
smoothly, and remove all scraggy
portions, as they can be used to ad-
vantage for sausage-meat while
fresh, but are wasted if put through
the cu.iDg process. In trimming
the hams and shoulders, expose as
little of the lean meat as is necessa-
ry, because the action of the salt
while in process of curing will
make the lean meat hard.
After all pieces of meat have
been properly cooled and trimmed,
take each piece separately and rub
it all over with salt, anslay it aside
for twenty-fonr hours. After the
salt has been absorbed, pack it into
a vessel-syrup barrel OF any kind
of barrel that has been properly
cleaned. Pack the meat in tightly,
putting the hams and shoulders 1t
the bottom. Weigh out, for each
100 pounds of meat, 10 pounds of
salt, 4 pounds Of brown sugar and
Q ounces of saltpetre. Dissolve
this in four gallons of boiling wa
ter. Stir it well, SO that all the salt
will be dissolved. Let it stand un-
til cool, and then pour over the
meat. This amount of watrr should
be sufficient to well cover the meat
| in the vessel. Put a round wooden
cover over the top, and weight it
down with a stone, so as to keep all
the meat under the brine, add
enough to cover the meat. Pu, the
vessel away in some cool place and

let it stand for from six to eight
weeks when the meat will be ready
to be taken out of the brine and
smoked or used. 1t may be left in
the brine for longer time if desir-
ed. The use of sugar in the brine
keeps the lean meat from getting
hard and also adds sweet flavor to
the meat. The small amount of
saltpetre is used to retain the natur-

Old Edgefield, 20 Years Ago.
.[By H. K. Me- Clintock. ]

by H. K. McClintock.]
(The following poem was written by
The brother of Mrs. w. E. Carwile
about sixty years ago, which now
would mean the Edgefeld of eighty
s.s ears ago instead of twenty years ago.
Old Edgefeld, since 1 knew you first,
full twenty years ago,
There's many a heart has ceased to
beat, there's many head laid low
Where are those eyes of beauty now,
so brightly once displayed!
Alas! those blooming flowers have long
been withered and decayed.
Old Edgefeld ld-but you're not the same
as twenty years ago;
So much. your features have been
changed there's little. now know.
What tho the valleys, hills and plains
their station yet retain,
There's many once familiar face /
cannot find again.
Old Edge6eld, you look, fresher now
than twenty years ago,
And seem to have newer face, the
= older do you grow;
Is it that younger "blades" spring up
in you, may now be seen,
AS fields, that white with frost and
age, in spring again look green?
Old Edgefeld, I remember well, tho
twenty years ago,
. You seemed to me one family, you
loved other SO;
Tho rival beauty, wealth and power
might then as now appear,
There was a nobler rivalry in showing
your good cheer.
Old Edgefeld, ne'er can l forget that
twenty years ago
Your doors just like your hearts and
hands, wide open did you throw;
A kind, inviting look you gave, that
DaQ6 me WeiCOlllc IuSIS,
A cordial smile and friendly grasp,
that sweetened all your fare.
Old Edgefeld, those were halcyon days
near twenty years ago,
Your spi it's were so bouyont then,
your hearts in such glow,
You capered in the may dance and
frolicked life away,
Till all of it began TO seem one..joyous
holiday.
Old Edgefeld, then you laughed and
sung, It's twenty years ago,
Your wit and wine both sparkling
bright for all your friends did flow,
Alike were all the old and young, your
circles were so gay;
But all those days of wassailing alas!
have past away.
Old Edgefeld, where's my pleasant
friend, who twenty years ago
Seemed with the very gas of life and
health to overflow?
Though fraught with kindliest feelings,
yet so full of wit was he,
A joke or friend he seldom spared-at
least he spared not me.
Old Edgefeld, he was blooming then,
some twenty years ago,
But now altho' his heart be warm,
his head is white as snow,
Was he or others then the worse for
feeling gay and glad,
Is anybody better now for looking very
sad?
Old Edgefeld, o! what glorious times
were twenty years ago,
The Whortleberry parties then, when
every belle and beau,
And matron and old gentleman enjoyed
the annual fete,
That yearly frolic, which displayed
your happy social state.
Old Edgefeld, in your Cedar fields, :"
just twenty years ago,
The fringy broom grass waving there
alone was won't to grow;
But there hath now forest grown,
and midst the deepest gloom
How many of my dearest friends are
sleeping in the tomb!
Old Edgefeld, I backward look on
twenty years ago,
And then upon that face of yours
which time has altered so,
Of dearest friends that death hath
spared, how few remain to me!
So is the forest all hewn down, save

SENDS WHEAT UP
The Liberal Buying Gives
Strength to Corn;
Oats Higher

Chicago Ills, Dec. 12.-Rain in the
Argentine making crop prospects there
more unfavOrable, brought about a
little show of firmness today in the
market for wheat The opening was
unchanged to Is to &c. May started
at 90 to 97lsc, the same change from
last night as the market taken alto
gether, later there was a reaction to
$3.50.
The close was firm at 97A for May,

Liberal purchasing on the part Of a
few houses put some strength into
corn. May opened at 627s to SIC, last
nights level to 1sc higher, and seemed
inclined to keep within that range.
The close was steady. &c net high

Oats sympathiZed with corn. Nay
started a shade higher at 4S5s and
showed a disposition to hold steady at
that figure.

FINANCIAL
EFFORT To
HOLD UP PRICES
Copper Closes an Excellent
Month; Domestic
Stocks Run Low

New York, n. Y, Dec. 12.-Traders
made little effort this morning TO eX-
tend yesterdays sharp rise in stocks.
There was an increase in outside buy
ing, but professional operators took
profits, with the result that the mar
ket became dull ana receded after the
buying orders which had accumulated
over night had been filled. A higher
range of prices in London stimulated
the marker at the opening. Operations
for the long account were assisted also
by easier money, call loans opening at
4 percent, as compared with 4 y per-
cent at yesterdays opening.
Business contracted steadily during
the second hour and the fluctuations
were trivial.
Bonds were irregular.
The market closed steady.
There was an appreciable hardening
of prices in the closing hour, but the
buying soon flattened out and the mar
ket again dropped into rut Final
prices disclosed small gains generally
as a result of the days dealings.
Copper Closes Good Month.
Copper sellers have just closed one
of the best months of the year, and
from indications are entering upon
still more favorable 80 day period. EX-
ports continue the mainstay in re-
ducing surplus stocks on hand, and
just as soon as domestic consumers
come into the market 1t is altogether
likely that the present quotation Of
u
creased
The one favorable feature for a bet
ter copper market is that while do
nestle consumers are running low IN
stocks. producers are also sold well up
for the next three months. This prac-
ticaIly insures higher quotations when
the expected buying movement takes
place. Notwithstanding that 100000
pounds of copper were shipped abroad
last month, foreign visible supplies
continue to show a decrease ranging
from 1000, 600 to 100000 pounds.
This shows distinctly that metal Tor
the other side is being used as, fast as
it reaches its destination. Incidentally
the fact should not be lost sight Of
that important speculative interests
have had no small hand in the recent
uprising.
Undoubtedly the copper market was
unduly depressed, and the last move
ment was practically a rebound; but
there is now little danger OF the IN
dustrv getting back in morbid state
for some time to come
