Economy.

The Advertiser has no lengthy ad-
vice to give to the members of the
general assembly, but we would like to
see them lean decidedly toward econo-
my during the present session. The
taxpayers, with only here and there
an exception, are forced by absolute
necessity to economic in every possi-
BILE way in the management of their
personal or private interests, and II
they were consulted individually as to
the expenses of the government for
1915, they would with one accord urge
that the most rigid economy be prac-
ticed by The legislature at this session.
Let no institution or department OF the
State government be crippled by false
economy, but let all appropriations be
made with an eye to economy. Only
appropriations to meet actual necessl-
ties should be made for 1915.

No Militia in South Carolina.

Governor Blease has let his prejudice
outweigh his judgment in many official
acts during the past four years. But
in no instance has this been more no
table than in his proclamation disbafid-
iny the militia Of South Carolina. 1t
is true that many of the companies
were far short of what they should
have been, yet there were others that
were a credit to the State, and to mus
ter them all out of service with one
stroke of the pen was an act on the
part of the Governor that can not be
justified from any standpoint.
South Carolina needs militia, and
Governor Blease knew at the time
he issued the order disbanding the
military companies over the State that
he was injuring rather than help
ing his people. But what does ne
care? This is not the first tine tnat he
has deliberately done. that which ne
knew was harmful.

The Test That Tells.
Is the Test of Time. Many Edge
field People Have Made
This Test.

Years ago this Edgefeld citizen
told in a public statement, the bene.
fl derived from Doan's kidney pills.
The statement is now confirmed
the testimony complete. Instances
like this are numerous. They doubly
prove the merit of Doan's kidney
pills. Can any Edgetield reader de-
mand more convincing proof? It's
Edge6eld testimony, it may be in
vestigated.
Mrs. G. H. Key, Wigfall avenue,
Edgefeld, says: II very seldom
have any trouble from my back or
kidneys now, but when I do, l al
ways take Doan's kidney pills and
they relieve me. You may continue
to use my former statement, recon-
mending them. l have just as much
faith in Doan's kidney pills now as
I did some years ago when l first
endorsed them"
Price soc at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's kidney pills-the same
tha, Mrs. Key had. Foster.Milburn

What Makes a Community.

Give US men with public spirit, with
the welfare of the whole community at
heart; with encouragement for every
laudable enterprise; with assistance for
mankind and with a feeling of pride
FOR the town in which they live, thrive
and gain wealth; with welcome to the
stranger who has come many miles IN

with kindly feeling for home news
papers, and then support and aid them.
Such men we need; such are admired;
such men go about the world through
rosy pathways, and never frov7n
O. o'ershadows their brow, but they are
happy in the supreme knowledge that
they have done the best they could.

thereby assisted themselves. -Gaffney

High Cost of living.

First one phase of the high cost OF
living and then another is brought
pro .ninently to the front. When the
price of meat places it beyond the
average purse an investigation into the
cause is ordered. Sugar occasionally
comes in for its turn, the refiners being
charged with making exorbitant profits.
Just at this time the record-breaklng
price of wheat has caused bread to
come to the forefront.
Some of the large cities are on the
verge of bread famine, the bakers
claiming that at the present price of
flour they are unable to make loaf OF
bread weighing from IL to IA ounces for
S cents. Unless there is decline in
the price of wheat and flour. the size
of a loaf of bread will have to be re-
duced or the price must go beyond 5
cents. The mills state that they are not
responsible for the high price of flour,
some of them claiming that they are
making only cents net on barrel of
flour.
In Chicago the bakers have taken the
matter up with the government Off
cials, who assert that, owing to the
very large yield of wheat last year, the
present price of wheat is unwarranted.
So say we all who have flour to buy.

The closing sentence of Governor
Blease's message to the legislature
yesterday: eff my people want my
services in the future, I will give il to
them, but shall ask them for nothing
more" 1t is not at all probable that q
majority of the people of South Caro-
lima will ask him to serve them again
in any capacity.

The Newspapers and Prohibition.

A decided majority of the. newspa-
pers of South Carolina favor prohibi-
tion, and while some are for local op-
ton, probably those favoring the sub
mission of the statewide proposition
to the voters largely outnumber those
opposed to this proposition. The news
papers may be wrong, of course, but
it is fact that the majority of South
Carolina newspapers have generally
been found on the right side in the
past.-Rock Hill Herald.

Conserve Your Strength.

Now that the pneumonia season is
here, it is important to remember that
the pneumonia germ is powerless to
affect normal, healthy people, and that
the best protection against pneumonia
is the physical fitness given by proper
nourishment, exercise and fresh air,
and the avoidance of excess of all
kinds, says the Boston Globe. The
