MEANINGS.
Everything Has Two Meanings, an
Upper and a Lower.

If you persistently select the up
per meanings your soul will be strong
within you, your days full of cheer,
your nights stepped in rest' your
friends and relatives joy, your
youth enthusiastic and your old age
thick with happy memories, says DR..
Frank Crane in Woman's World.
If you seek always the lower mean
ings you will be soured, unhappy,
pessimistic, petulant and disagree
able. The worm of hate, suspicion,
envy, Jealousy and pessimism will en-
ter you and eat you up.
Is marriage a failure? That de-
pends upon what it means to you.
The upper meaning of marriage is
that it is a sacrament, the crown OF
perfection of loyal love. So long as
that meaning remains, marriage is
bliss. No matter what the poverty,
sickness and hardships that accom-
pany it the halo will not depart from
if nor the rainbow hues of illusion
vanish.
But if marriage has only the low
er meaning of money, social advan-
tage, gratiied ambition, or merely
fleshly convenience, it can be nothing
but a CALLING yoke.
It is very easy to drop into the way
Of disparaging or suspecting your
friends. Pick out their flaws, dwell
on their shortcomings, remark on
how selfish this one is, how stupid
that, how awkward or boresome or
talkative or tactless the other, and
by and by you will be left alone, in
sensibly you will ALLEVIATE them all.
But perceive the upper meanings
of each, this ones kindness, that
ones loyalty and the other ones good
heart, and they will daily grow dear
er, their little blemishes will disap-
pear, and the golden glow OF friend
shin will dwell forever around you.

Photographer Cole in Town

V. w. Cole, the photographer from
Spartanburg, who for more than six
months has been located in Barnwell
making pictures, will leave next week
for Bamberg During his stay here
Mr.. Cole enjoyed a large patronage
and in all instances gave his custo-
mers most satisfactory work. For the
county board of education, Mr. Cole
made numerous views of schools and
school buildings, and did a great deal
of outside work which proved very
satisfactory. Should he ever decide
to return to Barnwell it is certain
that he will receive even more liber-
al patronage than on this VISIT

Arcadia Made Inferno by War.

Americans who have spent vaca-
ton times wandering through the
Alsatian Vosges will remember the
long, forested slopes, the velvet-green
valley floors, the unexpected views
through breaks in the pines on the
mountain shoulders, the quiet ways
softly carpeted with pine needles, the
spicy air filled with aroma of ever
greens and the pertectly-kept hills,
mountains and winding valleys as
combining to form the cosiest, most
intimate charm possessed by any
mountain country on earth, says a
note issued by the National Geo.
graphic society, which describes the
Arcadia turned inferno by year and
a half of stubborn mountain fighting.
This region was a paradise of peas
ant proprietors before the outbreak
of the war, a green-and-golden patch
work of little farms, some no larger
than American city lots; and thrift,
tidiness, comfort and security char
acterized it ALL Splendid, hard-sur-
faced, white roads followed the bends
of the valleys, shaded through the
bottom lands by rows of hardy plum
and apple trees, whose fruit was auc-
toned off each year to the farmers.
The money obtained from the auc-
tions was applied to the .upkeep Of
the roads; and thus, like many Of
the German highways, the Alsatian
thoroughfares were self-supporting.
The Alsatian hills were unspoiled
by the tribute-bearing tourists. Wis
itors from the Americas and from
England seldom came this way.
Strassburg was regular travellers
objective, and for those who went
south from there, the Swiss noun
tains were the goal of the next jump.
The Germans and the French sought
the Vosges mountains for winter
sport, for skiing and tobogganing.
The people of other lands went for
similar sports to fashionable and
more expensive places, like st. Nor
itz in Switzerland. Alsace was too
honey, too commonplace, too hope
lessly middle-class to make much OF
a name for itself-until it became
the scene Of the bitterest fighting in
modern times, soon after the out
break of the present war.

one morning to do some shopping.
She was looking for some house fur

Miss Easterling Elected Queen.

The most interesting and at the
same time the most exciting contest
held in Bamberg in many day was
the election of the queen of the chau-
tauqua last week. The merchants
gave away the votes with purchases,
and as nearly all of the merchants
of the town, and also many other
lines of business, handled the votes,
there was a great deal of interest.
The two leading candidates had
strong supporters who allowed no
opportunity to pass to put in some
good work for their favorites. The
contest resulted in the election of
Miss Margaret Easterling as the
queen by margin of only few hun
dred votes. The following was the
result when the final count was made
about midnight Saturday:

The APPROACH of Spring.

Listen, don't you hear the music
Coming softly from the lea?
'Tis the voice of mellow springtime
Whisp'ring words of jollity.
Youthful songsters of the woodland
For the first time sound their

And they stop in blank amazement
At the volume of their throats.
Emerald gowns again are shining
Over yonder on the hill.
Purple lilies peep their heads up
From the surface of the rill,
Where the nymphs and fairies linge1
Hesitatingly to lave
In the stream of natures nectar
Which to earth Jehovah gave.

and indigestible material left over in
the body which, if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the
blood causing headache, bilious at
tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds,
stomach trouble; kidney misery, sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts
OF ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to OBJ
tain quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any druggist or store
keeper. This will cost very little but
is sufficient to make anyone real
crank on the subject of internal SAM
tation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, SO limestone phosphate
and hot water act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast
ly more important to battle on the in
side than on the outside, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities in
to the blood, while the bowel pores do.

GOVERNOR DECLINES.
VILE NOT BE CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT.
Under No Consideration Will He Allow
the Use of His Name on the
Republican Ballot.

Madison.-Gov. E. l.. Philip made it
known here that. under no cOnsidera-
ton would he allow the use of his
name on the ballot as being a candi-
date for the republican nomination for
president.
Several republican leaders suggest
ed that Gov. Philip ought to take part
in Wisconsin's first presidential pri-
mary. but the governor by his decision
not to allow the use of his name in this
connection puts at rest the movement
to make him candidate for president.
The impression prevails here that
the republican state convention will
not consider any proposition to indorse
senatorial candidate, but that the
convention will cOnfne it's work to the
selection of four candidates for dele
gates at large, receiving the report of
the several congressional districts as
to their candidates for delegates to
the national convention, and the adop-
ton of a national platform.
In Madison the impression is gen
eral that second convention will be
held at which candidates will be in
dorsed and state platform enacted.
