FINE FOR WEAK BACK
AND KIDNEY TROUBLE
Quickly Relieves Bachacte and Sore

The remarkable manner in which
the new Root Juice treatment reliev-
es backache, soreness over the kid

attracting the attention OF medical
men and others all over the country.
Tie first few doses usually bring
pronounced relief even in severe
cases and persons who suffered for
wears and whom doctors and medi.
ciues have failed to benefit, claim
complete recovery after a short treat
ment.

cure by taking four bottles. 1t is the
greatest medicine in the world for
such complaints" j."

The first bottle of the Root Juice
gave her great relief. >
Any honest, upto-date druggist

to get it for you. Tricky attempts to
sell something Just as good; Or al
most the same are insults TO your
intelligence and should be resented.

Graceful Women Of India.

Describing the women of India, a
writer says: Even the most With
cred toll worn hag has . dignity OF car
riage and a grace Of motion that the
western woman might envy. The
sari is draped in an easy flowing style
and adjusted as it slips back with a
graceful turn Of the silver bangled
arm, the skinny legs move rhythmical-
IL and the small feet fall with a silent
and oantherlike tread It is the beau
ty Of natural and untran1meled motion
and says much in favor Of the aoo1-
ton Of the corset, for the Indian wona-
en- retain their uprightness and supple
ness Of figure till bowed with age.
The commonest type is the coolie Wo-
man, who undertakes all sorts Oh
rough work, carrying heavy burdens
on her head, and she is perhaps the
least attractive, for her workaday gar
ments are usually faded and dirty, yet
even among this poor class Of burden
bearers we see many with handsome,
straight features and supple, we'll pro-
portioned figures. no matter how poor
their garments, jewelry C some sort is
worn-necklaces Of gold or beads, col
ored glass or silver bangles and heavy
silver anklets."

A Meeting Of the Black River Union.

The meeting was held with the Man
ming Baptist Church. March 18th, 3Otn
and 3lst. The program consisted OF
addresses and sermons, all OF which
we're OF a high order. All the appoint
ed speakers were present except two,
one OF these was prevented being pres
ent Friday night because OF o delayed
train. Dr.. C. G. Brown was TO preach
Friday night, but did not reach Man
ming unit! Saturday morning.
The attendance was beyond eXpecta-
ton from beginning to end, and fine
spirit prevailed throughout. On Sat
urday goodiy number were present
both from the town and the country.
AT the preaching hour on Sunday morn
ing not only was the main auditorium
filed, but good part OF the Sunday
School auditorium as we'll.
The addresses had 10 do with civic
righteousness and good citizenship
Each speaker showed that he had given
thought and consideration to the sub
ject assigned him. The people listened
with earnestness. and il is believed
with profit 10 themselves. The sermon
emphasized the importance OF missions
both az home aud abroad. From both
the addresses and the sermons the fact
was revealed that the Santee Baptist
Association has u GOOD strong ministry.
On Sunday &c offering was taken for
Missions. which amounted TO seventy OF
seveutv-hve dollars. Strenuous efforts
are being made ali over the South land
by Baptists 10 relieve the boards OF both
Home and Foreign Missions OF the ap-
palling debt. which threatens them up
on the eve OF tie meeting of the South
ern Baptist Convention. There must
be heroic giving during the next few
weeks or retrenchment is inevitable.

with the Pinewood Baptist church, the
fifth Sunday IN June and Friday ano

Diamond; Cieavine.

The at Of the lapidary is one OF the
most delicate empIoEn,ents of mechan-
ical force known The practical dia-
mold cutter learns many facts about
precious stones which are sealed books
even 70 mineralogists. For instance,
it is the laDidaries who have found
out that diamonds coming from the
different districts vary remarkably in
their degrees Of hardness. 1t appears
that the hardest diamonds come from
New South Wales An unfamiliar fact
Is that diamonds are made to assume
approximate; the required shape By
Sitting and cleaviEg and by "bruting,"
which is the rubbing Of one diamond
against another, before they are sub
mitted to the polishing wheel. In
cleaving the diamond is cemented on
the end Of q wooden stick and a steel
blade is driven with smart blow in
the direction Of the natural plane OF
cleavage. Diamonds that have been
cut by the lapidary's wheel lack sorle
Of the brilliance possessed by those
that have simply been cleaved.-New

The Tr;hufe Of the Powhatsns.

What is perhaps thc most interesting
ceremony to be witnessed in tie Unit
ed States takes place at the state capi-
tol at Richmond on Feb. &c of each
year 1t consists Of the delivery OF the
annual tribute Of the Pamunkey river
Indians, representing Z surviving tribe
of the Powhatau nation, TO the gov
ernor Of Virginia The manner Of tie
presentation Of the tribute is simple.
The chief and the head men Of the
tribe upon the appointed day appear at
the capitol bearing baskets OF ducks
and fish and lay the baskets at the feet
Of the governor. The few and simple
words which are spoken are traditional
and do not vary. Originally the trib-
ute consisted Of yenison, ducks and
fish, each Of the finest and represent
ing the dominion Of the state OF VIZ
ginia over the animals Of the forest.
the birds Of the air and the fish of the
waters, but the state law establishing
q closed season for deer now prevents
the Indians from including yenison in
the tribute

Why Men Went West.

A hundred years ago the Rev, limo
thy Dwight commenced comD1acently
on the benefit to Connecticut from the
draining away to the fTontier-then
western New York-of the restless
spirits who cha&ed under the rule OF
the old families and the Congregation
al clergy, writes Professor Edward
Alsworth Ross in the Century. 1t neT-
er occurred to him that these insur-
gent spirits were carrying with them
to the wilderness q precious energy
and initiative. The unprosperous, the
sbiftless and the migratory sought the
fronier, to be sure, but the enterpris-
ing, too, We're attracted by it. The
timorous and cautious stayed and ac-
cepted the cramping conditions Of an
old society, but those who dared take
chances, to ''piace q bet on them
Selves" were apt to catc1 the western
fever.

Good Weioht.

One trick Of the trade was taught to
the young butcher by the maFketman
who gave him his first employment.
The old dealer pointed to trays Of beef,
lamb and pork trimmings beneath the
counter.
"Nhen customers ask to have all the
waste that has been cut from their
own meat wrapped up with their order
be sure to put in few Of these trim,
mings besides" he said. Most always
they want the scraps sent home sc
they can weigh the whole business and
find out whether they are getting ful.
weight or not. Enough extra pieces
to tip the scales half an ounce beyond
the supposed weight won't hurt any
body and will give US good name"
Shortly after that the new clerk
heard one frugal housewife say to an
other: "Oh. why don't you trade at
Blanks? he gives such good meas
ure, often almost an ounce more than
you pay for.'
The clerk sniled.-Washington Star.

CcIored School Library.

We have established library in the
colored graded schoo! of Manning.
The effort may be considered feeble
but is of much need 70 those who love
Knowledge. The library consists at
present OF about 16o good books. The
last addition thereto being six volumes
entitled The Opening of the West;
written by EX-Presiden5 Roosevelt.
These last books are gift OF DR.. c. B.
Caiger of Manning. My grand parents
we're owned by Dr.. Geiger's people In
slavery days. The Geiger:s OF the
eastern section OF Lexington county
are among the most ariStocratic white
people in the State. 1t is our hope
that these books will be read By par
encs and pupils, and be preserved as
token of remembrance, at all times
the thoughtful consideration OF our
intelligence by distinguished white
friend.

Chewing the Crude Rubber.

About the first process rubber goes
through on the way to become q tire
or tube is mastication. After the
crude Para is washed it is broken up
into Jumps and tossed into the crack
ers. These are machines with heavy
rollers, which take the rubber IN be-
tween them and chew it. Entering
the masticating room Of factory, the
first impression is that there is brush
fire burning or else there is a den OF
snakes at hand. The rubber snaps
and crackies like burning branches
and then Kisses shudderingly. The
stuff is kept at until it comes up IN
regular sheets, very thin and looking
like sort Of cake busted with crumbs.
Then after thorough drying IN vacuum
chambers it is ready to put in with
the chemicals and Other things that
make up the compound.-New York
