SHOULD DRINK GLASS
OF WATER TO CLEAN KIDNEYS.
II Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You Drink Lots OF Water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean. by flushing
them with cold water and kidneco
which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulate them to their
normal activity. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. In "a
hours they strain from 1t 500 grains
of acid and waste, so we can readily
understand the vital importance of
keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't
drink tod much; also get from your
druggist about one dozen grain
kidneco tablets, take one tablet be-
fore each meal and at bedtime with
a glass OF water for few days and
your kidneys will act fine. This ia
nous remedy is made from perfectly
harmless ingredients and acts
quickly, and has been used for gen.
erations to clean and stimulate
clogged kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids In urine so Ii no longer Ia
a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Kidneco is inexpensive, cannot in.
Ijure, make no mistake, insist on ked-
neco which everyone should take
now and then to keep their kidneys
clean and active Try this, also
keep up the water drinking and no
doubt you will wonder what became
of your kidney trouble and back
ache.-Adv.

TO Meet Deficit Louisiana Comes Back.

is the cry heard in many sections of
the State. Louisiana has a great ad-
vantage over South Carolina when
the live stock industry is considered.
Here in South Carolina the hay fields
must be developed. In Louisiana let
the land alone and a good grazing
ground Immediately is formed
The following figures compiled by
the State department of agriculture
of Louisiana show in comprehen-
sive manner Just how far the food
crop movement has spread. The COM
ing of the boil weevil caused the fig
ures for all food crops to climb
steadily upward. The same condi-
ton will prevail in South Carolina
within several years after the arrival
of the weevil. The figures were an
nounced last March.
Here the figures are: 34S.59S

Irish potatoes, valued at $S45.S97:
100000 tons of hay, valued at over
50, 100000. In addition the farm
ers produced 32S.70Q bushels OF
peanuts which Went to the marke,
for $126,OOO. The peanut industry
should be developed in South Caro-
lima. The peanuts can be used for
hog feed and grinding purposes and
recently the railway granted Il ma

cotton oil mills will pay good prices
for the peanuts. The mills will en-

soy beans. In Louisiana Harry ID.
Wilson. the commissioner of agri-
culture, will this year offer several
bean clubs. An effort will be made
to organize these clubs in all sec
tions of Louisiana. Here in South
Carolina the farmers should confer
concerning the growth of the soy
beans. Good prices for the beans are
being paid by the oil mills. Louisi-

were responsible for the murder OF
Hugh Harrelson and the assault on
Mrs. Harrelson in the Pleasant Hill
section Of this county last night.
Bloodhounds led a posse to the bed
in which Campbell, with whom Mr.
Harrelson had trouble recently, was
sleening and the man was arrested
on suspicion.
Mr.. Harrelson was killed with a
blunt instrument, probably plow

Harrelson was beaten with club un-
til she fell exhausted on the floor,
the negro believing her to be dead.
Regaining consciousness Mrs. Harrel-
son screamed for assistance. AS Mr..

Cotton farming as a business in
the weevil States of the South is no
longer safe or profitable. Cotton
raising as part Of farming is both
a safe and sound business PROPOSE
tion. Many farmers in Louisiana are
producing cotton successfully along
the lines indicated by the agricultural
experts Of the State experiment sta
tion and the United States farm
demonstration work. The export of
raw cotton to the mills of the world
have been of large economic i'm
portance in keeping the balance of
trade on the credit side of the ma
tional ledger. crop that will bring
about 000,0OO.000 into IL States

.%Some cotton must be grown because
the South for the present at least is
the largest field in the world The

Since the advent of the boil wee

AS is we'll known the production
OF one crop as the main support of
people has failed in all sections OF

tural impossibility.
Failure of system.
Mr.. Snowden gives the following
reasons for the failure of the one
crop system:
Decrease in soil fertility is ac-
companied by decreased yield. Cot
ton being a clean cultivated crop
ihis deterioration has come through
the teaching out of the plant food in
the soil by the heavy rainfall; !;
through the washing away of the
soils, and through the exhaustion OF
the organic matter and consequent
loss OF nitrogen and bacterial life
Available plant food has become eX-
hausted and that mechanical condi-
ton 0f The soil so necessary for prof
itable crop production destroyed.
Washed and quilted h.llsides. worn
out and abandoned fields have been
the heritage of the one crop practice
fn the south Soil fertility is the
basis Of all agricultural wealth.
Live Stock.
Before the advent of the boil wee
vii into Louisiana the people had
been depending on cotton as their
money crop Pure bred live stock
was comparatively an unknown term
The food of fne State was being shir-
ped in tin cans and paper boxes.
The coming of the weevil forced the
farmers to diversity their crops and
to produce enough food for home
consumption. The live stock indus
try is getting on a firm foundation.
a ready market is found at Fort
Worth. Tex, where good prices are
paid. In Baton Rouge and Donald
sonville sections large areas have
been abandoned from the growth or
cotton and turned into pasture for
live stock. Soy beans are being
planted Velvet beans grow profuse-
