THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence.

Have YOU ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plaln-the
article did not fulfill the promise Of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to medicine. A medi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, To those who are in
need of it.
A prominent druggist says: Take
for example DR.. kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation 1 have sold for
many years and never hesitate to rec
ommend, for in almost every
case it shows excellent results, as
many of my customers testify. No
other kidney remedy that I know OF
has so large SALE
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Root is
due to the fact that it fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liv-
er and bladder diseases, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad-
dress DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamp-
ton, n. Y, and enclose ten cents; also

Handsome Catalogue.
Secretary.

The catalogue of Carlisle School
for 1914-15 has just been issued by
the job department of this office,
and, if we did print it, we must say
it is a handsome book. In fact, it is
one of the very incest pieces of work
ever turned out by this Office. The
style and size is something new,
and the work is in two colors
throughout the book. All pages have
a red border, including the half tone
cuts, while the several small cuts
placed on reading matter pages are
also bordered with red, all making
an attractive show. There are a
number of cuts in the book, showing
the main buildings, the dormitories,
headmaster's residence, etc., includ-
ing views within the halls and other
buildings. The catalogue gives lot
of information in regard to the
school, and should prove good ad-
vertisement.

DEMANDS HEAT IN HOTEL
Texan Sets New Record for July
at the BiltmOre.

F. C. Townsend, of Dallas, Texas,
broke a New York record last night
when he demanded steam heat in the
dining room on the nineteenth floor
of the Hotel Biltmore.
Mr.. Townsend was dining with sew
eral women and one of them COM
planned of feeling cold. Her cloak
was sent for and the windows were
closed. Then Mr.. Townsend began
to get cold himself, and he sent fol
the waiter and complained. The wait
er brought John McGee Bowman, the
manage.
This place is toe cold to eat in
without an overcoat," Mr.. Townsend
complained. Cant you get us some
heat?"
Mr.. Bowman thought at first that
he was joking but Mr.. Townsend be-
gan to say things were done better
in Texas, where they "at least let
party have a comfortable dining
ROOM Mr.. Bowman then realized
that he was in earnest and called ur
the engineer. The engineer reQuir.
ed detailed instructions before he
would believe that any one could
want heat, but finally turned it on
and Mr.. Townsend and party finished
their dinner in comfort.
Its the first time in my expert
ence Of many years in the hotel bus
iness," Mr.. Bowman said later, THAT

heat on the fifth of July in New York

like Yuma, Ariz., where they used to
say when cowboys died they sent
back for their overcoats. However,

Short Term Of Court.

The July term Of court convened
here Monday morning Of this week,
with Judge H. F. Rice, of Aiken, pre-
siding. No petit jury was in attend
ance, as all jury cases had been post
poned until the November term.
However, the grand jury was here to
pass on bills. Only two criminal
cases were heard, the parties plead
ing guilty in both cases.
Alex Stroman, a negro, for shoot
ing into a train, this occurring at
Lees, was given two years on the
chain s ng.
Gillie Love, white, for riot, was
given six months on the chain gang
or 500 fine. He had to go to the
gang.
A lot of civil business was attend
ed to, about thirty appealed cases
from magistrates being heard, a
number Of orders granted, etc. Court

MODERN GARDEN OF EDEN.
Olathe, Hans, Has Dispelled Last
Trace Of the Serpent's Trail.

The perfect community has been
found at last, and it is located, of all
places in the world, in Kansas. 1t
exists under the picturesque desig-
nation of Olathe, and one of its most
eminent citizens is former Gov. John
P. St. JOHN, the man who dried up
Kansas" in 1880, and will be more
generally recalled as a one-time Pro-
hibition party candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States.
Grape juice is the strongest bev-
erage that is dispensed in Olathe; the
town drunkard died many, many
years ago, and the town Jail has
been rented out as garage, because
no one breaks the law in Olathe, and
for that reason there are no prisoners
to put under lock and key. Boys
are not allowed to smoke cigarettes,
the curfew rings promptly at o'clock
and on Sunday everything is closed
except the sixteen churches. 1t Is
said that even these are not needed
by the citizens, but are used to con-
vert sinners from neighboring towns.
There may be some other unknown
paradise located in some other part
Of the country that will compare with
Olathe, but we doubt it.-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

An Election Forecast.

Capt. Charles Petty makes the fol-
lowing election forecast in the Spar
tanburg Journal in reference to the
senatorial race in that county:
"It is about eight weeks till the
primary election. Candidates are
generally sanguine and see nothing
but the silver lining to the cloud.
For instance, one of .Blease's friends
in this city has promised him a ma
jority of $500 votes in this county.
For ten days previous to the meeting
here Saturday the lieutenants Of
Blease had been urging all the red
string crowd to attend in force and
show their leader that they had at
least 5000 votes here for him.
Blease pretends to believe these state
ments and asserts positively that he
will be elected. If he gets 40 per
cent of the vote of this county 1t will
be a surprise to many people. His
friends made a strenuous effort TO
rally all the Bleasites possible. There
were red badges for all. But in
waching the crowds passing on the
streets there were four men without
badges to one with the red sign.
While Blease was speaking there
we're hundreds of badgeless people
on the streets who will not vote for
him. Another thing observed was
the men with the red tags on them
did not seem so buoyant and hopeful
as they we're two years ago. That is
the way it appeared to an outsider
who did not attend the meeting.

Negro Recaptured.

Harley Johnson, a negro who was
serving a sentence on the chain gang,
escaped last Wednesday afternoon,
but was recaptured Monday on
the plantation of Jake Sellers near
Olar. While Johnson was at liberty,
Thursday night in fact, he broke into
the store of J. F. Lancaster at Govan
and stole some clothing, shoes, etc.
A negro who helped Johnson rob the
store and also assisted him in hid
ing, was tried before Magistrate o. j..
c. Lain at Olar on several otfenses
and given term on the gang. He is
now doing time, and Johnson will
also be tried for breaking into the
store as soon as he serves his pres
ent sentence. There is still another
negro implicated in the robbery, and
the authorities hope to land him

Error in Figures.

In the Columbia State Of Tuesday
the statement was made that the sal
ary of the Bamberg post Office had
been increased from s1,600 year to
s2,4O0. This is an error. The salary
was raised the first of July, but 1t
was raised from s1,60O to s1,700.
Bamberg will have to be much larg-
er town than it is now for the salary
of the Office to be $4,000, as all sal
aries are based on receipts. The
increase at the Bamberg Office for
the past year has been very crafty
ing, and if the increase for this year
does as we'll the Office will advance
another grade the first of July, 1915.
But this may or may not be the case.

BAMBERG COUNTY WEDDING.
Miss Nell kearse Becomes Bride of
Geo. DuPre Sanders.

Fairfax, July miss Nell Kearse
and Mr.. Geo. DuPre Sanders were
married at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. J. Kearse,
near Olar, Bamberg county, last
Wednesday,
The groom is a son of the late
William ]. Sanders and Mrs. Sallie
L. Sanders, and besides being one of
the largest planters in the lower
part of the State he is director in
several banks and has other inter-
ests, lumber, turpentine, etc. The
bride is one of Bamberg's fairest
daughters, being thoroughly accom-
plished, and besides being a most
beautiful girl she has won the love
and admiration of every one who has
had the good fortune to know her.
The ceremony took place at high
noon in the broad piazza among
ferns, potted plants and vines. The
couple made striking picture, the
bride attired in a beautiful travel
ing gown Of Copenhagen blue with
hat to match, and carried shower
bouquet of white carnations and ros-
ses.
The bridal march was played by a
lifelong friend of the bride, Miss
Myrtle Roberts, of Lykesland, N. c.,
who also played softly during the
impressive ceremony.
Luncheon was served at small
tables in several courses. After chat
ting with and receiving the hearty
congratulations Of the many friends
for a long and prosperous life Of
happiness, the young couple left in
their automobile, expecting to reach
Columbia before night, and from Co.
lumbia they will go to Henderson
Vile, N. c., and other points of inter-
est.
The presents were numerous and
handsome.

Mr.. Virgins Resigns.

The many friends of Mr.. ]. Arthur
Virgins will regret to learn that he
has resigned his position as cashier
of the Bank of Denmark, and will
make an extended Western trip for
the benefit Of his health. Mr.. Wig
gins is a fine man and good citizen,
and it is our earnest hope that he will
soon return sound and we'll again.
For years he has been closely confined
indoors, first as superintendent OF
the Denmark school and later as
cashier of the bank, and no doubt an
outdoor life for while in the
balmy climate of the West will soon
put him in fine shape. Mr.. j. S. J.
Faust, who was formerly cashier OF
the bank, succeeds Mr.. Virgins.

SAFEST FOURTH IN HISTORY.
Reports Show That There Was De-
crease in Accidents.

Chicago, July 4.-Statistics COM
piled late tonight showed that the:
country enjoyed the quietest Fourth
in its history.
The figures are:
Dead, 13-by fireworks, 6; by gun
powder, 4; by torpedoes, 2; by re-
volver, 1.
Injured, 243-by fireworks, 105;.
by gunpowder, 80; by torpedoes, S;
by toy pistols, 5S; by cannon, Al;
by runaways, 4.
The accidents last year were 81
dead and 1,131 injured. The record
this year, due to the increasing "sane:
Fourth" movement, thus far is less
than half of the previous year. and
shows but a small proportion OF the:
accidents of few years ago, when
the use or fireworks was unrestrfct-
ed. The figures for today, however,
may be somewhat increased by more
complete returns.
The property loss so far reported
was trivial as compared with $685.,
900 last year.
There were fewer deaths in the
celebrations today than in any Of the
16 years that the records of the tolls
have been kept with the exception Of
1899 when only three lives were lost.
But in that year the injured were re-
ported as 1,074, or three times that
Of today.
Philadelphia's report Of ITO injur-
ed was more than that of New York,
which had the next largest number,
and it was believed that many Of
those included in the list suffered
from minor hurts. The casualty list
at Pittsburg was also high, 81, with
no fatalities.
Only one person was killed and
three slightly injured in Chicago. The
names of two boys who died yester-
day from burns received in the ex-
plosion of fireworks they had dug
from rubbish near an abandoned fac
tory were added to the list, however.
Curiosity led Vera Allen, eight.
years old, to the spot where she had
seen boys place a torpedo on car
track. A street car came along and
exploded the torpedo, piece Of it
setting fire to the, flimsy holiday
dress she wore. When her mother
had extinguished the flames the child
was dead. The casualties here were
the smallest the city has ever known.

Pearls of Great Price.

There has lately been exhibited at
a court jewelers. in Bond street a
striking collection Of pearls. One
magnificent rope is valued at no
less thar $4,000 pounds; while for a
single pear shaped drop pearl, per-
fectly symmetrical, $4,000 pounds is
asked. But probably the most ex-
quisite article in the collection is a
single ne.klet of gems of extraordi-
nary hue, the matching and grading
being superb. The cost of this ar
ticle is $4,000 pounds.
But the owners warn would-be
purchaser that if one of the stones
were lost it would be impossible to
replace it with an exact duplicate.
Black and pink pearls also found a
place in the exhibition; while pass
ing reference must be made to pair
of 'button-shaped earrings valued at
$4,000 pounds.
One of the representatives of the
firm gives a word of advice upon the
preservation and treatment of pearls.
Upon no account, he said, should
they be locked up in safe or other
darr place for lengthy period, since
su.s treatment soon causes them to
los their life" and become dull.
If their fair owners find that for
some reason or other they cannot
wear them outside their garments
they should make point of wearing
them underneath their dress, next to
the skin. Constant contact with the
human skin gives to the stones light,
lustre, gloss and sheen. The best
possible way to keep pearls in per-
feet state of preservation, as we'll as
to rrolong their life, is to wear them
always, both by night and by day
