That Morning Lameness.

If you are lame every morning,
and suffer urinary ills, there must
be cause. Often,it's weak kidneys.
To strengthen the weakened kidneys
and avert more serious troubles, use
Doan's kidney pills. You can rely
on Edgefeld testimony.
Mrs. G T Padgett, Edgeield,
saws: "My back ached and panied
all the time. In the morning when
I got up, l was so sore and stiff
that | could hardly bend over. /
tired easily and it was an effort for
me to do my housework. | also had
headaches and dizzy spells and my
sight blurred. I got Doan's kidney
pills at Penn g. Holsteins drug
store and they relieved me from the
first. Whenever my back gives me
any trouble now, Doan's kidney
pills never fail to give me relief. !"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's kidney pills-the same
that Mrs. Padgett had. Foster Mil

Waycross School Closes Profi-
table Session.

The Waycross school, located
near the home of Capt. j. R. Block
er, was among the schools in the
county to close last week and, fol-
lowing their custom of several years
standing, picnic was given in the
beautiful meadow near the bridge
across Turkey creek on the Ninety
Six road. While the patrons of this
school are few in number, they are
progressive and public spirited and
are willing to spend and be spent in
order to promote the common good.
Owing to the fact that farmers
are exceedingly busy at this season,
the attendance was not large. 1t
was, however, large enough to make
the occasion thoroughly enjoyable.
Just such crowd as to form a con-
genial coterie was present. Every
body knew. everybody else present
and the ties that bind neighbor to
neighbor and friend to friend were
streng thed by tie days delightful
social intercourse.
As the people gathered under the
trees they enjoyed an intellectual
treat, for there were some excellent
speeches made. Reversing the order
usually followed on such occasions,
that of saving the best to the last,
Dr.. E. Pendleton Jones was the
first speaker presented by Capt.
Blocker, the master of ceremonies.
The speaker seemed to gather in
spiration from smiling nature about
him and delivered practical ad-
dress that was replete with food for
profitable reflection. DR.. Jones was
followed by Hon. Alvin Ethered ge,
candidate for congress. He was
followed by Mr.. M. P. Wells, an
avowed candidate for the State SEN
ate.
An adjournment Of one hour was
taken for dinner. And such a din
ner it was too! Everything that
the ingenuity of the housewives of
the community could provide was
prepared and spread upon the table
to which everybody was invited.
After all appetites had been satisfied
many baskets were filled with cakes,
pies and other nice things that been
untouched. In addition to the picnic
baskets of the ladies, the men pre-
pared bountiful supply of hash

Vicious Type of Citizens.

Georgia has some as good men as
can be found in the Union and, unfor-
tunately, it is also true that some men
of the most vicious type reside in Geor-
gia. While these. despicable charac-
ters may be native born Americans, OF
Anglo Saxon blood, if you please, yet
they are no less depraved than the
Mexican, the Turk, or the italian who
comes to our shore. This is plain
speech, but there are times when to
mince words is but little short Of
criminal.
The announcement that dipping vats
are being wantonly destroyed in Geor-
gia, some dynamited and others burn
ed, is sufficient proof that Georgia has
some men within her borders that are
a menace to good government and to
society in general. When the purpose
of these vats is considered, that of
eradicating an evil or pest which de-
priyes farmers of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars annually, their wan
ton destruction can not be condemned
in too high terms. And it is not going
too far to say that the emissary Of the
lower regions who would apply the
torch or dynamite to these public utili-
ties that are constructed by the gov
ernment would not hesitate to blow up
home in the night time in which there
were sleeping mother and children.
The State of Georgia could not make
a better investment than to spend
thousands of dollars hundreds of thou
sands, if necessary-to apprehend and
punish these violators of the law OF
the most vicious type.

Rest Room For Ladies.

Aneed of long standing in Edgeheld
and one that is altogether imperative
is the providing of a rest room Tor Ia
dies. 1t is reflection upon Edgefeld
that no provision has been made for
the convenience and comfort of ladies
who come to spend few hours or a
day here shopping.
The re elected or newly elected coun-
cil-some reelected and other elected
outright for the first time-can do
nothing that will demonstrate more ef-
fectively that they are alive to the
towns interests and needs than to take
steps at once to provide q rest room
for ladies and children. Practically
every day ladies come to Edgefeid to
spend the day and arc accompanied by
one or more small children, and these
mothers and children should have some
place to which they can retire and rest
after the strenuous hours spentin bus
mess way.
Let the council secure conveniently
located room at once and have it prop
erly fitted with all modern conveniences
and comforts. What they lack in funds,
if any, will be supplemented by popu-
lar subscription. This undertaking can
easily be carried to a satisfactory COM
pletion, if it is given the enthusiastic
support of those in authority. We feel
confident that the ladies of the Civic
League will give their hearty co-opera-
ton to the enterprise, and will also
aid materially in having the room prop
orly kept after being opened.

that was fit for a king or a kaiser.
Besides the free dinner, iced lemon
ade was served free to everybody,
and as the weather was warm many
gallons of it was required.
Early in the afternoon Capt.
Blocker again called the picnickers
about the stand and presented Mr..
w. w. Fuller, to whom is due q
very large portion of the credit for
the improved condition of the pub
lie schools throughout the county.
The last speaker to be presented
was Hon. B. E. Nicholson, who
eschewed politics and spoke of edu-
cation, rural conditions, etc.
During the session just closed
Miss Jennie Pattison has taught the
Waycross school, and not only has
she rendered satisfactory service in
the school room, but has made her
value felt in the community life.
At the beginning of the session,
Miss Jennie offered three gold med
ais. The one offered for the best
record in spelling was won by John
Blocker, Jr., and was presented by
Mr.. Alvin Etheredge. The medal
offered for the most improvement in
writing was won by Butler Bryant,
son of Mr.. John Bryant. This
one was presented by Mr.. W. w.
Fuller. The medal offered for
scholarship won by Miss Mar.
garet Blocker, and was presented by
Nh. J. L. Minis.
The day was one of unalloyed
pleasure to all present, and as the
good-byes were said many expressed
the hope that the event would be
repeated in 1917.
The handsome new Buick car of
Mr.. Bonham Hamilton contributed
much to the occasion by providing
for DR.. Jones and
others to and from Edgefeld.
