That WAS Bad

Bro. Bell says after awarding first
premium on the display of job print
ing to the News-Budget, the judges
decided not to award a second pre-
MUM. In view of the fact that the
NeWs-Budget was the sole and only
exhibitor, it isn't hard to understand
why the judges came to that decis-
ion. Bro. Bell deserves credit for
making the display, but it is hardly
fair to give out the impression that
there was competition, and that the
judges refused to give the competi-
tors even second place.-Journal.
Beg pardon. Wrote it as a joke.
Thought people reading it would
tumble" to the fact that we were
the only exhibitor. We shall have
to desist from perpetrating such deep
humOr upon an unsuspecting public.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need a flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids
in the urine 30 it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should take
now and then to keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it is
only trouble.

until the republican minority had so
clearly exposed the absolute waste of
government funds that many of the
appropriations meant if passed that
public sentiment became thoroughly
aroused, that the democratic lead
ers gave heed to the gathering
storm and cut down the appropria-
tiOns. And it took two big slices be-
fore the republicans would abandon
their fight for economy. This Incl

economy the democrats promised if
put into power, especially when they
had taken down the tariff wall and
were facing a rapidly growing deficit

tax.

All Of us have plenty to do, without
hunting any thing more; but If there
is a real demand for q night school
among that portion Of our population
which has to put in their days working
with their hands, we are not the people
to ignore that demand. OF course we
all recognize that we can't neglect the
work for which we are regularly en-
ployed and we do not propose to.
Neither are we going to offer our SER
vices free. On the theory that there is
very little that is worth having that Is
not worth paying for, and also that il
man really wants to learn something
he is willing to pay. we will agree upon
reasonable tuition fee for each per-
son who desires to enter the school.
If the undertaking cannot be estab-
lished along these lines il cannot be
established at all. If we meet with
reasonably satisfactory success and the
undertaking proves worth while. then
we believe we will be able to grt more
help in the shape of a suitable build
ing other than the church, and in the
employment Of a competent teacher
who will be able to give the school his
whole time. Unless the undertaking
is capable of being developed to these
ends, why Of course there Is nothing to
1t. and we will devote ourselves to
other work"

Nut Grass.

The paragraph in The Enquirer of
Tuesday in which a farmer who lives
on the outskirts Of Yorkville was
quoted as saying that in his opinion
nut grass was being introduced into
this country along with Florida potato
slips, has attracted no little attention.
AS to when nut grass first began to
make its appearance in this locality,
The Enquirer has no definite informa-
ton; but the editor has had personal
knowledge of it's presence for some
thing like twenty years, and to those
who are not acquainted with this per-
nicious newcomer, we beg leave to say
that it is something to be dreaded.
Nut grass is at home in the warmer
climates of lower latitudes: but easily
takes hold in this part Of the country,
especially in rich land, and when once
it gets a hold, all other crops Of what
ever nature are assured disagreeable
company for an indefinite period to
follow This grass grows up in straight
spear-like blades, looking something
like young broomsage, and where the
soil is rich it covers the ground as
thickly as the hair on a dogs back.
After the grass has gotten a years
start. you can commence on growth
of six inches about the first of May

gotten the support of individuals other
than the Office seekers, has found its
main support in fundamental princi-
pies of common interest, 1t has been
a long time since either Of the great
parties has put out a platform that did
not contain one or more planks that
were stealthily inserted by tricky poll
ticians for purely selfish purposes We
do not pretend to say that this was
true with regard to this free tolls
plank of the Democratic platform; but
nevertheless 1t is fact that discus
sion in the senate has so. far failed to
develop information as to just where
this plank originated. 1t is conceded
that no state Democratic convention
asked for free tolls, and if there is any
record as to who offered the free tolls
proposition to the sub committee OF
the national Democratic convention or
platform, the information has not come
to light. So far as the record goes. the
whole committee accepted the plank
mainly because it sounded good as a
vote catcher and let it go at that. But
still as we have said, we have no quar-
rel with anybody who insists on stand
ing by the platform, even though he
may not be able to give any other good
reason for his action.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-04-03

Among the many reasons assigned
for the bucking Of the president by g
respectable minority Of Democrats
other than the reasons given by the
spokesmen Of those opposing Demo
Gratis, is one in which there is more OF
less plausibility. 1t is very well under
stood that in Washing precedent
very often outweighs ability. Things
often stand as they are because they
have long been that way, rather than
they are right. One sacred tradition OF
both senate and house for many years
past Is that length Of service gives
prestige. For instance. congressman
of average ability who may have serv-
ed. for sixteen or twenty years is enti-
tied to much more Difference than a
new man, no matter what his ability
who may have served but single term
or even several terms. There are SEN
ators of long service who look upon
even presidents as interlopers and
there are congressman Of LONG service
who consider that new men must not
be too fresh. When the school teacher
president went into the campaign for
the presidential nomination, old time
politicians who had been riding on the
train long enough to absorb the idea
that they were both engineers and con-
ductors, just laughed. Even after the
election they considered the president
a joke, and the first several victories
were looked upon as matter Of course
happenings These folks were certain
that they would be able to put a stop
to all that later on, and they made
more or less try on the tariff bill and
the currency BILL but in neither case
did they make the issue plain enough
for the country to notice it. But when
it came to question of thespresident
undertaking to make congress reverse
itself on law that it had already pass
ed, and which had been endorsed by
the party platform, it seemed like a
little too much. 1t was now time to
teach this new freshman a lesson. They
sought to magnify little old plank OF
doubtful origin into the paramount
ISSUE" confident Of their ability to
defend their motives on the ground OF
loyalty, ETC., and risked their futures
on the outcome. They lost, and with
their losing goes the old idea that
length of service is more important
than quality of service. There may or
may not be something in this; but
whether there is or not, we do not look
for any more bucking Of the president
by members of his own party. If there
is such bucking, it will amount to
nothing.
