Senator Tillman and Nh. Sheppard
were the speakers.

Senator Tillman and Mr.. Sheppard
were the speakers.
Mr.. Sheppard had with him a
copy of the address which he had
made on this great occasion, and
read extracts which were of exceed
ing great interest to all who were
present This exposition of the sub
ject was entirely new to many of
the members present, but was we'll
known by others, and was enthusi-
astically received by all.
Mr.. Sheppard presented a copy of
this address to the local chapter,
the historian, Mrs. Jones, announc-
ing that the chapter would have it
typewriter and presented to the
State historian for safe keeping.
We hope that at some early date
Mr.. Sheppard may have favorable
opportunity to repeat this address
before the public at Edgefeld and
relate to large concourse of people
the large part that Edgefeld played
in the reconstruction of South Car,
olina.

That Morning Lameness,

If you are lame every morning
and suffer urinary ills, there must
be a cause. Often it's weak kidneys.
TO strengthen the weakened kid
neys and avert more serious troub-
les, use Doan's kidney pills. You
can rely on Edgefeld testimony.
Mrs. G T Padgett, Edgeield,
says: MY back ached and panied
all the time. In the morning when
/ got up, was 20 sore and stiff
that 1 could hardly bend over. l
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 & Holstein's 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 kidney remedy
get Doan's kidney pills-the same
that Mrs. Padgett had. Foster-Mil-

A Distinctive Reason

What IS the Chief reason for the SUPERB
ority of Royal Baking Powder?
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means healthful fruit origin.
1t means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal
Baking Powder.

Paintings of these scenes are now on

One of the Sultans presented Fred

played emitted curious squeals. The
Sultan declared that these sounds kept
the soldiers from hearing the cries of

any use made of these instruments,
which are now preserved in one Of the
German museums. During the Schles-
wip-Holstein war In lS4S. Prince
Frederick Charles, tho father Of the
Duchess of Connaught ordered his

light ahead. In its luminous path we
catch sight of two bright eyes gazing
at us. Ma fois. 1t is a rat-the OBJ

frightened movements to and fro.
Dayve whispers to us to be quiet. He
also tells us to observe that he en-

Apaches.
He advances towards the rat and
utters a queer cultural cry. Taking
from his pocket a small pebble. he
throws it in the direction of the
frightened animal. Alas! The un-
happy rat is tempted. Here is enacted

one who asked for bread and was
