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
forgotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfil the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a 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 I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy that l 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 fulfils almost
every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder diseases, corrects
urinary 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., Binghamton,
N. Y, and enclose ten cents; also
mention the Bamberg Weekly Herald.

TAX COLLECTIONS SLOW.
Only 21.5 Per Cent of Amount Asses.
sed in 1914 Paid.

Columbia, Jan. IA little over
one-ffth, or 21.5 per cent, of the
State taxes assessed for 1914 had
been paid up to December 81, accord
ing to figures made public this after
noon by S. T. Carter, State treasurer.
This compares with 2S per cent. paid
up to the corresponding period of
last year. The total assessed taxes
for the State purposes in 1914 was
s1,S4S,O73.2s, an increase Of $685.
600 in the assessment for the pre-
vious year. Of this amount s3S7,-
1914 has been paid up to Decem-
Der 81.
The tax levy for last year was six
mills, against five and three-quarters
for the previous year, but in 1913
there was a special levy of one mill
for school purposes, and this was not
reenacted in 1914, so the levy is in
reality one-quarter of mill less.

LYCEUM THURSDAY NIGHT.
Morrow Brothers Quartette Will En-
tertain.

The second attraction on the Ly-
ceum Course this season will take
place at the Carlisle School audi
toriur Thursday evening (Jan. 14.
This attraction promises to be one of
the most delightful of the year. Male
quartettes are always popular, but
this quartette has the additional
charm of consisting of brothers.
The Lyceum Bureau in presenting
the Marrow Brothers Quartette to
the public says:
"It is seldom that four brothers
are found with voices endowed by
nature with a large enough range to
do effective male quartette singing.
The Morrow Brothers are the latest
generation of a musical family. All
of them have been trained from in
fancy in music, both vocal and In
strumental. Their ensemble sing
ing has been developed until it has
attained that rare harmony and blend
which is the result Of years of train
ing together. The Morrow Brothers
have an original and varied program
consisting of ensemble singing, In
strumental music, solos both vocal
and instrumental, readings, and cos
tune character impersonations Their
entertainment has something for
every individual taste. They will
prove an attractive number on any
course"

WOUNDED MAN GOES TO JAIL.
John Will Smith, Hailing From
Texas, is Shot After Robbery.

Laurens, Jan. John Will Smith,
a white man, who claims that he is
from Waco, Texas, was brought to
jail tonight by Deputy Sheriff Blake
ly from Gray Court, where the man
was turned over to the officers by a
party of citizens of Dials township,
who captured Smith this afternoon
after surrounding him in an old
house and slightly wounding him.
When he tried to make his escape,
he was shot with a pistol in the back
or side, but the wound is not con-
sidered serious. He has had medical
attention, but the county physician
has been called to make thorough
examination of the wound tonight.
The man complains of much pain in
the side and hip.
Last night some time the store OF
Ernest Reeves, of the Eden section
of Dials township, was broken into
and robbed. Today the citizens OF
the community took up the trail OF
the robber and located him in an
old house. He was armed with a
shotgun taken from Reeves store,
and when the party surrounded the
house and called for him to come
out, he made a dash for liberty
when one of the party fired on him
He gave up without further resist
ance. He admitted the robbery and
said he was looking for money and
something to eat. He got some
crackers and the gun and some
shells. He is about 80 years of age
and says he has a wife and four
children at Waco. He says he was
looking for a job in this part of the
country.

Cotton Pool a Disaster.

Fort Worth, Texas. Jan. 12.-Peter
Radford, national lecturer Of the
Farmers union, when asked by a
representative of the press today il
the farmers of the South would ap-
ply for loans under the terms of the
s135,O0O,000 cotton pool, said:
81 do not know of banker in
Texas or elsewhere who is willing to
lend money to the farmers at six pei
cent. under the provisions of the
pool and I do not think many farm
ers would care to qualify for a loan,
1t is to be regretted that the officers
of that movement are not frank
enough to admit that the failure OF
the pool is due to inherent defects
of the plan. 1t has not only failed
completely, but it has indirectly cost
the Southern cotton producers mil
lions of dollars. l think it can be
truthfully said that had the plan
never been suggested, several mil
lions of dollars would have been
loaned against cotton in the South
by many banks who subscribed to
the fund in good faith, and natural
ly, with such a pledge becoming a
liability they might be called upon
to assume, they did not give con-
sideration to making direct loans as
the Southern banker has always
done, and as result the pool cut off
the local money supply and forced
the cotton on the market l have
no doubt the promoters acted in good
faith, but the movement has been a
serious disaster to the South
