WHY "ANORIC''
IS AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH!
Sufferers From Backache Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether YOU are good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
YOU suffer from backache, sick head
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
Eout. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time YOU
should consult some physician of wide
CNperience-such as DR.. Pierce. of the
lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, \. Y. Send him 1Oc. for large

was from Protestants who had wit
messed II, and helped alleviate it
that | learned of the suffering of the
aged F'ranciscans exiled from the holy
places associated with the earthly life
or the Prince of Peace. These same
informants told me with indignation
OF how they had seen the Church OF

the Moslems and made into a MOSQUE.
Such incidents as these from Paies-

Christian sentiment.
Christmas in Armenia
Long centuries of Christian art and
literature and eloquence have pictured
the horrors of the slauohter of the
innocents" in Bethlehem by Herod.
The tale is told anew every Christmas
In connection with the story of the
Babe Tor whom these other children
were sacrifice. Yet we know that
there were probably not over a score
Of babies killed in Bethlehem by
Herod.
In almost incredible contrast. we
recall that between last Christmas and
tnls, there nave been slain thousands
Of babies for the sake of the name of
Christ; and that in the Land we call
holy more than six hundred thousand
Christians have been done to death,
and that the total of slain, exiled, de-
ported and refugees is far above a
million. The fact of the martyrdoms
OF 1915 is too staggering to enter the
human mind. We almost refuse to
believe that the Turks have not only
out-Heroded Herod, but have out
Caesered Nero and Diocletian and
Julian and all the other Roman en-
perors combined.
Christmas in Armenia-among the
starving, homeless, ill-clad remnant
of old women and little chiIdren-is a
picture that the imagination refuses
to point. Nevertheless, it is the most
significant fact on the worlds horizon
in this year Of our Lord. 1915.

Bamberg people have never been
conspicuous in the matter OF church
going. and yet a large majority of her
citizenship are members of some
church. 1t has been said for the
number of it's population there are
more non-church-goers in Bamberg
than any town in the State. This
may or may not be true, but certain
it is that there are many people in
Bamberg who do not go to church,
and we have often wondered why it
is. There is one reason We can give,
and while it may not be pleasant to
many who do go to church, it is
nevertheless true. Many people
would no doubt go to church who do
not now if they were invited to do
so by others, those who are proml-
nent members of the various churches
here. Bamberg is in some respects
selfish town, and it would be
SOOQ lUluS IL SOlllS VI IIoSC "Ao PAN
fess to be followers of the meek and
lowly Jesus would enlarge their scope
and take some interest in others.
How many strangers who come to
Bamberg receive any sort of well
come from church people? Or how
many people who live here have you
asked to come to church in the last
six months? We need more broad
ness and liberality, human sympathy
if you please, and there is no better
time to start than now. The people
to start go-to-church movement are
the members of the churches, and
they should not only go themselves
but they should invite others and
then endeavor to make them feel that
they are welcome when they do come.
1t may seem improper for a secular
newspaper to indulge in this kind OF
talk, but it is literally true, every
word of it, and We might as we'll say
it. Possibly it may do some good.

Senator Black informed us this
week that small levy would be put
in the supply bill for this county for
the purpose of improving our roads,
or rather building permanent high
ways. This special tax will not be
more than one mill, although the
amount had not been definitely de-
cided on when he talked to us. A
good thing. We only wish it were
more. Bamberg county needs moth
ing more than good roads, and money
spent for this purpose benefits every
person in the county.

we are all too busy with our own

interest in public affairs, matters
which are of vital interest to every
citizen of the community. Yet we
go on seemingly content with pres
ent conditions, not caring whether
there is any growth and development

The Barnwell county delegation
is trying to get bill through the
legislature asking that at the prohi-
6ition/ /election next fall the people
of that county vote on the PROPOSE
ton to levy tax Of three mills on
real and personal property for the
building of permanent roads. We
trust that Bamberg county's repre-
sentatives will have Bamberg includ-
ed in the idea ii it can be gotten
through this time There will be no
expense attached to holding such an
election, as the prohibition election
is already provided for, and the two
propositions are so far apart that
there is no likelihood of getting them
mixed or one interfering with the
other. If the taxpayers don't want
to levy the tax they can vote against
it, but we firmly believe Bamberg
would vote for such a levy provided
the proper restrictions were thrown
around the spending of this fund. 1t
would be our idea to put such fund
in the hands of highway commits
sion who would serve without salary,
this commission to be appointed by
the governor, to be composed of our
very best business men and patriotic
citizens, men who would build per-
manent roads and where they were
most needed, without regard to poll
tics. Permanent roads would bene-
fit everybody in the county, and
would do much to enhance the value
of farm lands and make life in the
country a great deal more pleasant.

Under Harvest Moon.

Last year the harvest moon looked
down
On bounteous fields of grain,
A peaceful scene where lovers stroll
Along the shady lane.
In happy homes the mothers sang
Their evening lullaby.
And little children had no fear
Of danger lurking nigh.
But now the demon war is loosed
And terrors fill the night,
The dangers of the burning home,
The dangers Of the fight.
Mothers and children hide and wait,
They listen, fear and pray,
While shells are bursting all around
And armies pass their way.
Tonight upon the harvest field,
The moon is shining bright.
Where soldier forms lie mute and
still
With faces ghastly white.
Oh, what a reaping! Oh, what loss!
The flowers of earth cut down
The voice of mourning in the field
And by the ruined town.
