IN FIVE MINUTES! NO
INDIGESTION, GAS OR
SOUR, ACID STOMACH
The Moment "Pape's Diapepsin'
Reaches the Stomach All
Distress Goes.

Really does" put bad stomach in
order-"really does" overcome indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and
sourness in five that-just
that-makes Pape's Diapepsin the
largest selling stomach regulator in
the world. If what you eat ferments
into stubborn Jumps, you belch gas
and eructate sour, undigested food
and acid; head is dizzy and aches;
breath foul; tongue coated; your in
sides filled with bile and indigestible
waste, remember the moment "Pape's
Diapepsin" comes in contact with the
stomach all such distress vanishes.
It's truly astonishing-almot marvel
lou, and the joy is its harmlessness.
A large fifty-cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin will give you hundred dol
lars worth of satisfaction or your
druggist hands you your money back.
It's worth it's weight in gold to men
and women who can't get their stom-
achs regulated. 1t belongs in your
home-should always be kept handy
in case of sick, sour, upset stomach
huring the day or night. It's the
quickest, surest and most harmless
stomach regulator in the world.

votion of the Confederacy shall live
as long as memory lasts, in the hearts
of every United Daughter of the Con-
federac.
"And now we most sincerely thank
the William Wallace chapter and the
City of Union for giving us the pleas

guests during this convention. I
thank each of you for your coopera-

it is joy to work for, and with such

A SAD TRAGEDY.

On Tuesday afternoon about 4
o'clock, the 3-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hampton jolly was shot
and probably fatally injured by the
7-year-old son of neighbor, while
the children were playing. The lai
was toying with the pistol, .38 cal
ibre, when it was accidentally dis
charged, the ball penetrating the fore
head over the left eye and passing out
through the back of the head. The
little child, up to 10 o'clock Wednes-
day, was still living, but there is little
hope of her recovery.

KELTON

kelton, Nov. 19.-We are still hav-
ing fall weather and the farmers will
soon be through gathering their short
crops. Everything is bringing fancy
prices, cotton bringing over 20 cents
pounda cotton seed $1.00 a bushel.
Mr.. S. r. Aycock sold 5000 bushels
at $1.O0 per bushel and $50 bales of
cotton at zoe per pound. Twenty cents
would seem small price if the staple
was to go to 25 cents per pound. 1t
might bring that price before next
September.
l haven't any news to report this
week.
We would be glad to have shower
of rain as it is so dusty and disagree
able to travel.
l attended the Union county fair
on Thursday and Friday and found
large crowds both days and all seemed
to enjoy themselves very much. There
was not many exhibits but what there
was was good. I hope the Fair Asso-
citation will be able next year to offer
more prizes and you will see more in
terest taken by the farmers and you
will see many more and greater ex-
hibits next year. 1t is good for the
people to come together and enjoy
themselves in a social way. Our Fair
Association has done the best it could
and deserve great credit for the sue
cess of the recent Fair. The past
Fairs have been rained out and the at
tendance was small and Of course re-
ceipts were light. I am glad to hear
that the last Fair was a success and
it will enable the managers to make it
a better one next year.

gone off, because the landlord takes
out his pay when cotton is sold, say

paying, and the only way man can
get his pay is to have some grip on
something. They are, or many are,

There is very likely to be some sort

the purchase of piano. The build

The cold wave which struck us last
week was about the coolest Novem-
ber weather we have ever had, 20 de-
grees one morning. While there was
not much of the white frost to be
seen, it being SO dry, it was in the
freeze. Many turnips and cabbages
were killed dead. There was not a
genera! killing before this, though in
some places all summer crops had
been killed. Oats were badly dam
aged, too.
Farmers are not through sowing
oats even, to say nothing of wheat.
The land is so dry that it cannot be
prepared. Many oats that are up are
making practically no growth. Some
small grain was Scratched" in, not
ploughed. I saw one field put in
wheat, and the pea stubble was not
ploughed up. am going to watch

THE DAUGHTERS GENERAL.

Mrs. Caroline Merriwether Goodlett
was the founder of society in Nash
vile, Tenn, called "The Ladies Aux
iliary of the Confederate Soldiers
Home" May, 1898.
In the meantime chapter of
Daughters of the Confederacy had
been organized by Mrs. Cassidy at
st. Louis, Mo-, and there fere other
organizations of similar nature in
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas.
But to Mrs. Goodlet rightly belongs
the honor of organizing Chapter of
Daughters of the Confederacy, for she
first attracted public attention in
1894 to this matter when through the
press she referred to the Nashville
Chapter.
Mrs. l.. H. Raines of Georgia was
the first to charter a Chapter.
She first suggested one name and
one badge and to her must be given
the credit for suggesting that all the
Chapters of all the States be united
in one body.
The first name used was the Ma
tional Daughters of the Confederacy,
but at the Nashville Convention in
1896, it was changed to the United
Daughters of the Confederacy upon
the motion by Mrs. A. T. Smythe of
Charleston, s. C.
