Help Those Who Helped YOU and
Help Yourself at the Same Time by
Paying up all That You can This
WcCk-Itcmcmbcr That

The merchants and professional
men are not crving for charity.
They are simply asking for what
belongs to them.
They simply ask every body to pay
their just and honest debts.
The merchant can not put off pay
ing his debts because the price of
cotton is less than it ought to be.
The merchant has to pay his debts
whether he has made or lost money
this year. Everybody in business,
the merchant, farmer, lawyer, man.
ufacturer, physician, real estate Ian,
newspaper publisher, and all others,
more or less have lost some money
or failed to make as much money as
they usually do.
But those who extend credit should
be paid.
Those who have extended credit
must pay their debts.
The way to bring better times and
to avoid crippling credit conditions,
because credit will be a very valuable
thing next year, is to pay your debts
now. You are going to need a repu-
tation for paying your debts. Make
that reputation this week. Help those
who have helped you to be able to
help YOU again when you need help.

A WARNING, TO MANY.
Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Trouble
Sumter, Nov. 80.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kindeys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes a chemical
analysis Of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot readily be brought back
to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Brights disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913. in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is Or. KilmCr'S Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases is
soon realized. according to sworn
and verified testimony of
those who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
uuirc attention, and wish a sample

Farmers Union Meeting.

The Sumter County Farmers Union
will hold its regular meeting at the
court house Friday of this week. All
locals will please send full delegation
as this will be very important meet
ing. This is the meeting for the cleo
ton Of officers and l wish to submit
to the union a movement on foot to
establish a curb market in Sumter. 1t
is my opinion that certain kind of a
curb market in Sumter would be mu-
tually beneficial to both the consum-
ers in Sumter and the farmers who
produce the supplies for our local
market. Those officials in Sumter
who are agitating the movement for a
curb market are very anxious to learn
what the farmers think about it and
what kind of market the Union would
desire to have established.
