No Senator'S or Representatives Will ad-
NIT any time has been fixed for
meeting with Mr.. Wilson. but mum
her OF them say they expect to go be-
fore very long.
Several OF Mr. wilson's advisers in
Congress have been testing the views
Of prominent Democrats as to Cabinet
material. and they will be prepared 20
give Mr.. Wilson pretty good line on
Democratic sentiment toward the
placing OF this or that man in the
Ca'1ine or in other places of pronl-
nence In the Wilson administration.
Senators Hoke Smith. OF Georgia :
O'GOrman. OF New York: Gore. OF Ok

Mr.. Wilson TO come 10 Trenton. From

nigh tide from now until the list Of
the Presidents official family Is an
rounced by Mr.. Wilson. Members OF
Congress who were close advisers OF
the Presidentto-be during the cam
paign. profess to believe that Mr.. VIII
son has not made up his list OF Caoi-
net advisers. and tina: he will hear
what the leaders OF Congress have 70
say with an open mind. Each Senator
and Representative in Democratic ranks
thinks he Is sure of several names
which will be on the list. but they
are not willing to declare that Mr..
Wilson has made an interchangeable de-
c!sion in the case OF any OF them.
Mr.. Wilson probably will hear from
Democratic advisers in the Senate as to
the efforts of a coterie of Democrats
who are endeavoring TO bring about
what they term progressive control
in the next Senate. which will have
Democratic majority This movement
has taken definite form as result of
numerous conferences which have been
neld during the past few days.

Death of Mrs. George Wood.

On Sunday afternoon at Red Hill
church Rev. J. T. Littlejonn was
indeed called upon to perform sad
service when he said the last words
in memory of faithful member of
Red Hill church. Mrs. Wood, al
though a great sufferer, and ready
to 60 and be at rest, was yet the
mother of little children, and it is
for these that the sympathies of
many hearts GO out, as well as for
her husband, who had waited by her
bed side for SO man5 months. Mrs.
Wood has been a patient sufferer
through the long and trying months
of her illness, as those who have
been with her testify, and her loved
ones are assured that she is at last,
"Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast"

No Meeting Held.

Accoding to announcement, Mr..
w. w. Long, Prof. Hadden, Mr..
w. II. Barton ard Miss Cromer
came to Edgefeld Monday to hold
a meeting in the interest of the
Boys Corn Club. They were ac-
companied by Mr.. P. N. Lott, the
efficient county agent of the farm
demonstration work. On account
of the unfavorable weather, no
meeting was held. Miss Cromer
stopped over in Trenton in the af-
ternoon to organize Tomato club
among the girls, and the gentlemen
of the party went to Saluda to hold
a meeting.
1t is to be regretted that no one
came to hear these gentlemen, for
they all are specialists in their res
pective fields, and Miss Cromer is
doing great work among the girls
of the rural schools. AS the Ma
tional Corn Exposition is to be held
in Columbia this year, those in
charge of the work among the boys
very earnestly desire to make the
corn club a prominent feature Of
the Exposition, thereby sustaining
the reputation that Jerry Moore has
made for the state.
Mr.. w. w. Fuller, County Supt
of Education is deeply interested il
this work, and will do his utmos
to make it success in Edgefelt
county. He should receive the full
est cooperation of the teachers ant
parents of the rural schools.

People of Edgefeld who suffer
with sick kidneys and bad backs
want kidney remedy that can be
depended upon. The best is Doan's
kidney pills, medicine for the kid

backed by cures in Edgefeld.
Read what follows:
It's convincing testimony.
w B Paul, clerk, Butler street,
Edgefeld, S. c., says: Il was
bothered by kidney complaint from
childhood and it got worse after I
had the measles about twelve years
ago. l suffered from acute pains
throughout my body and l had
much trouble from a weakness from
the kidneys and bladder. Doan's
kidney pills were just what need
ed, driving away my pains and
Strengthening my kidneys and blad"
der. Whenever / have felt in need
of a kidney medicine since then
Doan's kidney pills have come to
my aid. I consider them the best
kidney medicine to be had.'
