When a Kingstree citizen comes to
the front. telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes-
timony is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
of a Kingstree resident. No strong
er proof of merit can be had.

Diversified Farming Pays.

MIR ] T Gaskins of Gallivant's 8
Ferry, Horny county, believes in d.
versifed crops. His experience is of
interest to every farmer in the Pal
metto State. When MIR Gaskins
landed at Gallivant's Ferry to make
his first business venture he had S400
in CASH nothing more. He settled
to work, bought a small amount of
poor land and commenced to farm
and to improve his land. Il did not
raise an all cotton crop, as so many
of my neighbors do" he said, Il
plant tobacco, corn, ribbon cane,
peas. potatoes, raise hogs and plant
some cotton. By following this plan
l made some profit each year and
invested it in land, stock, etc."
The past year MIR Gaskins sold 700
gallons of ribbon cane syrup at SOC
a gallonwhich nettad him about $3.50,
he sold 50, 700 worth of tobacco from
16 acres-the profit was about ST.
500, he sold several other kinds of
produce at a good profit. The 10
bales of cotton which he sold brought
far less profit in proportion to the
amount of capital and labor invested
than any product which he handled.
Mr. Gaskins has bought and paid
for $50 acres of land and has cleared
and in cultivation about 10 acres.
Last year he refused an offer of
$4,000 for his plantation.
THE acquiring of this large farm,
a nice dwelling, good barn and ten
ant houses, stock, cattle, modern
farming machinery, etc, is an excel
lent record, but they do not repre-
sent all of the earnings of this in
dustrious farmer; he has other in
terests besides his farms, but the
money was all made on the farms,
and Mr. Gaskins attributes his sue
cessful farming operations to diver
sifcation of crops. He says many
other farmers in Horny county have
worked as hard and lived as econom-
ically as he has and are still poor,
simply because they stuck to cot
ton crop while he was raising tobac-
co, making molasses and feeding
hogs. Florence Times.

True Christianity.

The Bible says in effect that no
manlis without sin. We believe that
to be absolutely so, not only as ap-
piled to laymen, but preachers as
we'll. We make the above statement
because we read recently press dis
patch from Lynchburg, Va, where
Methodist conference is in session,
where the following resolution was
introduced in the meeting and referr-
ed to the committee on moral reform.
The substance of the resolutloa
was to condemn the appointment Of
H E Schoewolf of Baltimore, as door
keeper of the United States Senate,
because he was formerly a saloon
keeper in Baltimore.
The spirit of that resolution does
not comply with religion as taught
by Christ. 1t is too narrow and sd
vors of a want of the true spirit of
Christianity. If that barkeeper has
reformed and is anxious to lead q
better life, the Methodists should try
to aid him, instead of damning him.
We must lift up the fallen and not
push them deeper into sin. We must
show that charity that Christ tells us
about. Charity is the greatest light
of Christian life, and without it no
preacher has the right to get up in
his pnlpit and attempt to preach the
gospel, because in such an event be
would not be fit person to preach
the Bible.
Why hound the man down? Why
should great body like a convention
named attempt to damn q man whs
is trying to do better? 1t is that
spirit among some Of those who set
themselves up as our religious lead
ers that is injuring Christianity and
the cause of temperance. We must
broaden our views, pray for charity
and try to lift up our brothers by
kindness and brotherly love. When
we see a man down morally, do not
pass by on the other side of the road
and then 20 about vilifying him, de-
nouncing him, and spurning him
That is not the true spirit of Chris
tianity. and any one, be'he layman
or preacher, who acts in that way is
not, from a Christian standpoint, muck
above the man he spurns. The bet
ter than thou" man in his own esti-
nation claims to be the true Chris
tian, but is he? No. Denounce sin
if you will. That is right, but try
to save the sinner. EagefeM Chron-

Snowstorms during the summer

the Rocky Mountain region at ali eIe.

sometimes covering the ground to a
depth of several inches.
The flowers at this elevation are
usually small, of delicate tints and
very beautiful, but lacking in frag-

ture in the atmosphere freezing does
not affect vegetation at this altitude
as 1T does nearer sea level. The flow
