First Letter From Edgefield's
Missionaries Since Sailing
From New York.

Dear Advertiser: We are only
about FIVE miles from land now
in a perpendicular direction down
ward! And day after tomorrow
afternoon we hope to set foot on
what Pat called terra cotta''-
that will be at Fishguard in Wales,
from which we go via Cardiff (also
in Wales) to London by rail. As
the newspapers tell US that another
revival has broken out in Wales,
we will feel deeper interest in
the country through which we pass.
F. We thank you and all the kind
friends who responded to your sug-
gestion for that Atlantic ocean of
steamer letters and post cards. 1t
was a sweet thought and we deeply
appreciate it. But the half wasn't
told when you outlined what you
supposed would be our last Sun
days work in America! Instead of
talk III Brooklyn, that day We
made seven, six of them in Chinese,
at New Haven in the morning, at
Brooklyn in the afternoon, and in
New York city at night. We dis
like 20 use Sunday trains, but it
looked as though it was Gods will
that we should not decline the urgent
invitations. The last of these meet
ings wassa unique one in that it was
gathering of the Chinese Christians
of all denominations of greater
New York. Wish you could have
been with us and could be with US
all the rest of the way.
With best wishes for The Adver-
tiser family, your. brother and sis
ter,

Importance of Healthy Kid
neyS.
Edgefield Readers Should Learn.
to Keep the Kidneys Well.

The kidneys have a big work to
do. All the blood in the body is
coursing through the kidneys con-
stantly to be freed of poisonous
matter. 1t is heavy enough task
when the kidneys are well, but a
cold, chill. fever or some thoughtless
exposure is likely to irritate. IL
flame and congeet the kidneys and
interrupt the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently be-
gins and is often accompanied by
some irregularity of the urine-too
frequent passages, sediment or re-
tention. Thousands testify to the
wonderful merit of Doan's kidney
pills, remedy for the kidneys only
that has been used in kidney troub-
les so years. You will make no
mistake in follow ing this Edgefeld
citizens advice.
Mrs. J T Pattison, Edgefeld, S.
c., says: 81 have given Doan's kid,
ney pills thorough trial and l
know them to be a splendid kidney
remedy. On several occasions l used
them and received Tasting relief
from kidney trouble. l do not hesi-
tate to recommend this remedy as
the best one | know of for kidney
complaint"

NJ PAINT.

The - mistake in painting is
not put,.Gg off. That costs about
10 per cent; you keep your money a
year and pay 10 per cent for it.
Paint would have to come down
95 percent to make 10 per cent on
the job, for wages do not 60 down.
The worst mistake is cheap"
paint. It costs from so per cent to
100, first cost, and another in wear.
What liar cheap is! Put
off, is bad enough; cheap" is ten
times worse. The Edgefeld MeTcan-
tile Company sells it.

Very Profitable Convention.

As the representative of the

attended the state convention of the
Woodmen of the World which was
held in Greenville last week. Mr.
Quarles reports a profitable and
very enthusiastic convention. The
Woodmen made a substantial con-
tribution to each one of the orphan
ages in the state. The order is con-
templating establishing an orphan
age of its own. The sessions of the
convention are held bi-ennially.
Charleston has been selected as the
