GO NO FARTHER.
The Evidence is at Your Door

Edgefeld proof is what you want
and the statement of this highly
respected resident will Danish all
doubt.
TT Paul, proprietor of garage,
Jeter street, Edgeield, says: my
trouble was brought on by being on
my feet continually. had a dull
pain in my back and / tired easily.
When / was on my feet for any
length of time, my back got sore
and stiff. My rest was broken at
night, as the kidney secretions were
too frequent in passage, causing me
to get up number of times. Three
boxes of Doan's kidney pills, pro.
cured at Penn d Holstein's drug
store, cured the backache and other
symptoms of kidney trouble"
Price SOC at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doan's kidney pills-the same
that Mr. Paul had. Foster-Milburn

Spraying the Garden.

Every gardener and grower of
small fruits should have spraying
outfit and be ready for war in time
of peace. This is the kind of pre-
paredness that pays; it is the pre-
paredness that insures fruits and
vegetables.
No one enjoys producing fruits
and vegetables for bugs, worms and
plant diseases. There is nothing
more exasperating than to see the
swarm of bugs ruin a bed. eof
plants and destroy ones hope for
reward. The spraying outfit will
give you chance to defend your
trees, plants and vines.
After insects get start it is too
late to spray. Spraying should be
done when the first insects are seen
and before they reproduce their
young. When the sprayer is handy
this may be done, but if one must
wait several days till one may be
ordered it may be too late. Arm
yourself and be prepared. Should
there be no need of spraying you
will have your outfit for future use.

Solid and Satisfactory Work.

The general assembly is now in its
sixth week, having rounded up five
weeks of satisfactory work. The ses-
sion has been altogether harmonious.
OF course, there has been difference OF
s>pinion among the members but the
session has been entirely devoid of
factional strife, which has so greatly
handicapped the deliberations at times
in the past. Perfect harmony has pre-
vailed among the members themselves,
between the two legislative bodies and
a decided majority of the two have
been entirely in accord with the gov
ernor. If all sessions were as satisfac-
tory as the present one, there would be
less argument for biennial SESSIONS.
If we are to have pickering and strife,
it is better to have it every other year
than every year.
The members of Edgefeld' s delega-
ton to the general assembly have been
active factors in shaping the legisla-
tive affairs. While they have not been
in the lime-light as frequently as some
of the other Solons, yet for faithful,
solid. satisfactory work they are the
peers of any.

The Tariff Commission.

The proposed tariff commission, OF
which much has been said and written
recently, is not new idea. The late
D. A. Tompkins of Charlotte, who'
while not politician always took an
active interest in national affairs, was
the first to suggest this plan of solving
the perplexing tariff question de
contended that. it was q matter too
large and too complex to be handled
by congress as a; whole, the better way
being the appointment of q commission
to study the question in all OF its
phases and as it affected every section
of the country. Another advantage OF
the commission plan isrthat it elimi-
mates politics from the tariff question
which has all along been a barrier IN
the way of a satisfactory solution.
President Wilson approves OF tariff
commission and it is probable that this
will be adopted.

Would Safeguard Secrets.

The Advertiser has all along been
impressed with the seeming careless
ness of the national government in not
limiting or restricting the information
that found its way to the public con-
cerning our army and navy. Hereto
fore when any new discovery was
made in the manufacture of explosives
or something new was achieved with
reference to the construction of
battle ships or torpedo boats it would
be heralded to the world at large
through the press. We have enter
tanned the opinion that all matters per-
tanning to the development of our
means of defense should be kept pro-
found secret.
Seeing the weakness of the past,
Sc ator Tillman has very wisely intro
dyed bill throwing further safe
qua / around the national secrets of
defense. The bill provides penalty
T. } years Imprisonment for convic-
to, OF disclosing these secrets to a
foreign government.
1t is probable that the Germans,
with whom a national rupture has
been imminent for some time, already
have detailed information concerning
our forts and other means of defense.
They are ever alert and practice pre-
paredness along all military lines, and
it is entirely probable that German
military officials know our, weak
places, from a military standpoint,
better than many of o8r own officials.
Such information would be of incalcu-
liable benefit should there come actual
conflict between the United States and
Germany.
Safeguarding our. military secrets is
one of the many lessons that we can
learn. from the Germans. They have
taught US the lesson of being prepared
and the first step toward preparedness
should be the keeping for our own ex-
elusive benefit the achievements of our
scientists and military experts. Why
create an advisory naval board if the
products of this combined talent is not
( or our sole benefit? Why let it
.f other nations to be used against
- senator Tillman acted wisely in

TRIMMINGS.

Trimming, always of paramount i'm,
portance, is very interesting this au.
tumn and is as varied as the winds.
Here are some of its striking phases:
Worth uses ostrich for trimming
evening gowns and, of course, many
American dressmakers have followed
suit.
Brocade is much used for trimming
afternoon and evening frocks.
Embroidery in Chinese and Japanese
style is much employed, especially for
blOuses and evening wraps.
Real lace is used again for TRIM
ming and will probably grow in favor.
We may see q return of Irish lace TO
the place it held half a dozen years
ago.
Wool embroidery is much used on
frocks of serge, and silk and bead en-
broideries are also used.
A good deal of fur is used for trim
ming. 1t takes the form of hens and
wide bands on the skirt and of buttons
and cuffs on the bodice.
