There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tor
lures of an aching back, the annoy
ance of urinary disorders, the pains
and dangers of kidney ills will fail
to heed the words of a neighbor
who has found relief. Read what
an Edg .feld citizen says:
Mrs. J. w. Dorm, of Edgefeld,
says:
Il had a constant pain in my
back, which, at simes, was worse
in the morning. l had frequent
headaches and dizzy spells. My
eyes panied me and my sight be-
came blurred. The kidney secre-
tiops were too frequent in passage.
Doan's Kidney Pills were recon-
mended to me, and after I used two
boxes l got great relief. l seldom
have a pain in my back or other
symptoms of kidney trouble now. "

Not One in The South.

The five counties in the United States
leading in value of all crops produced
in 1909, as returned by the 18th United
States census, are Los Angeles county,
California, with value of Sl4, 720, 1884;
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, $l3,-
O59, 588; Mclean county, Illinois, Sl2,
811, SOC; Whitman county, Washington,
SIP, $40, 694, anG Livingston county, IL
linois. S1l, ,377, 237. Farm and Ranch.
Of the five counties mentioned in the
foregoing not one is located in the
South. This should cause US to cast
about for the reason. This section has
soil the equal of any in the country.
Our climate is not surpassed by any
one of the counties mentioned. Why
then is the enormous difference in the
value Of the crops produced? Can it be
that we are not growing the most
profitable crops in the South? So ac-
customed are we to depending almost
solely upon cotton as money crop
that we are neglecting crops that could
be grown with greater profit.
Until our farmers learn to diversity,
it is long way to financial indepen-
dence. Few indeed are the farmers
who succeed by making cotton the
chief crop. Not one of the five coun-
ties mentioned above grow stalk OF
cotton, which should convince US that
the great staple of the South is not the
most profitable crop that can be pro-
produced upon the farm.

w. c. T. u. Points to South
Cardinals Next Duty.
n the Editor of The State:

10 the Editor or ne OtdIe'
Will you allow space for a few
words from the South Carolina Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union.
The w. G. T. U. have been organ
lied and has been working in this
State for 32 years, looking forward
with a faith that never faltered and a
courage that never weakened, to the
time when South Carolina would
throw off the shackles of the legal
lied liquor traffic. On September
IA our faith and courage were re-
warded, and we wish to thank the
noble manhood of this State, who
won for us such splendid victory
at the polls.
1t means much in South Carolina
alone, but to the temperance and re-
form movements all over the world,
that South Carolina has taken so
decided and so emphatic step, for
it demonstrates the fact that govern
ment control of the liquor business,
under the dispensary system, has
proven as gigantic a failure as any
other effort at regulation. After a
fair trial, under the best circum-
stances, the people of South Caro-
lima have decided that government
control will not work, and that the
only satisfactory way 10 deal with
this business is to prohibit it. A
great battle has been won but the
war is not over. The white ribbon
army in South Carolina can not dis
band. Some one has said that
Statewide Is simply a good posi-
sition from which to fight the IL
quor traffic." and this is true. This
victory must be followed up by law
enforcement, and it is the duty of
every man and woman to uphold
the hands of the governor and 9th
ers in authority in their efforts to
enforce the law. They can not do
it without the sympathy and CO.
operation of the citizenship of the
State.
The war against the liquor traffic
is a nationwide and a worldwide
war. The South Carolina w. @.
II. U. begins the new year October
l, 1915, better equipped than ever
before, We have now 1000 paid
up active members, not including
the men, who are honorary mem
bers and pay dues into the local
treasures, but not into the State or
national, nor the Loyal Temper
ance legioners, as our children white
ribboners are called. The w. G.
T. U. in this State has a member
ship of 1000 women, who have
paid dues this year. The national
w. G. T. U. has paid up mem
bership of 100000 women in the
United States, and we expect to
keep on "agitating educating and
organizing" till that glad day when
alcoholic liquors can nowhere in
the world be legally manufactured
or sold.
