Impaachment Cases.

Although one president of the United
States Gohnson), one cabinet officer
(Belknap), six United States judges
and eight governors Of states have
been impeached since the foundation
of the republic, only one senator, Will
liam Blount of Tennessee, has been ar
raigned before the bar of the house Of
congress to which he was elected. Of
the eight governors impeached one was
acquitted, in three cases the charges
were dropped, one was permitted to
resign, and three We're removed. Three
Of the impeached judges were removed,
and three were acquitted. Both Presi-
dent Johnson and Secretary Belknap
were acquitted. Politically the last
named impeachment cases were the
most important the United States has
acknowledgement.

Leftover Sandwiches.

Sometimes after a party there are
sandwiches left over. Here is an excel
lent way of using them up: Make a
batter exactly like you use for pan
cakes and add to it either sugar or
salt, according to whether the sand
wiches are sweet or savory. Then
each sandwich is dipped in the batter
and fried till a golden brown in fat
from which faint blush smoke is ris-
ing. No matter how dry they are they
are delicious done in this way.

1t is understood that the Wash
burn Building and Loan association
has taken on new life and no doubt
the association will make it's own
announcement in due time. If they
carry out their campaign of stock
selling and of expansion, there will
be no need for second association
in Washburn. The board of direct
ions put two things up to the State
banking commissioner, namely, urge
the present very substantial associa-
ton to expand or give the city a
charter for new one. 1t remains
fact, however, that this city needs
live, active, thriving building and
loan association, which will not have
to borrow money at banks to loan it's
customers. This agreed by all.

But Who Will Man the Guns?

In case the United States goes
to war, it will be no trouble to get
the money; the Master Of Finance
will be glad to furnish Uncle Sam
all he wants-AT INTEREST.
There would be no doubt about
the supply of munitions; the Cap
tains of Industry will gladly look
after that part Of the game-FOR
PROFITS.
The stock Of patriotism will be
abundant; the Politicians will
furnish that-FORA SALARY.
It will be easy to keep the peo-
pie Uniformed" and fooled, or to
circulate lies on the enemy; the
Editors will see to that-TO
SELL PAPERS.
1t will be easy to get prayers
offered for victory for our army
and destruction on the enemy;
the Preachers would do that-AT
so MUCH A PRAYER.
There will be no lack of medical
attention; the Doctors will see to
'that-FOR A FAT FEE and a
guarantee that they will not be
shot by either side.
But remember, none Of these
classes are going to do the shoot
ing and the cutting, the killing
and the dying; the poor boys have
got to do that-FOR NOTHING.
Poor mothers have got to fur
snish as killers and cannon fod
>der'' their own sons whom they
have suffered torture and poverty
to bear and raise. They r thu

the police to find it. The next dav
one Of the force came with the
dog, very wet and dirty. The

others, Where did you find my

The thousands of men that were
sent to catch old Villa some
months ago are gradully being
brought home and mustered out
Of the service.
Have they caught Villa'
Not much.
Fact is he seems to be S'looser"
than ever.
He has been several times re-
ported killed, once by a doctor at
that, but each time he has "resur-
rected," seemingly more alive
than ever.
Why are the soldiers coming
away without catching Villa?
Honestly, 1 don't think it was
ever intended to kill or capture
that gentleman.
I believe the whole Mexican show,
Villas rade on Columbus includ-
ed, was part Of the program Of the
Jingoes to fool the people OF this
country until they would be scar
ed so they'd swallow the biggest
preparedness pill" ever given to
any nation in time Of peace.
And now they have swallowed
the "pill'' without vomiting, with
a transcription powder" to make
the pill operate, so the soldiers
can be withdrawn until the gentle
men who own this country get
ready to have a sure-enough wal
for their own financial benefit

It makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray and looks streaked
just a few applications Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances its appearance
hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home
or get from any drug store 50-cent
bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which is merely
the old-time recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients.
Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens are hair beautifully, besides
no one can possibly tell, as it dark
ems so naturally and evenly. You
moisten q sponge or soft brush with
it, drawing this through the hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
By morning the gray hair disap-
pears; after another application or
two, its natural color is restored and
it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous
and you appear years younger.

GLASS OF SALTS IF =.
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat Less Meat If You Feel Back
aehy or Have Bladder Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which ex-
cites and overworks the kidneys in
their efforts to filter it from the sys-
tenn. Regular eaters Of meat must
flush the kidneys occasionally. You
must relieve them like you relieve
your bowels; removing all the acids,
waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the wea-
ther is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full
of sediment; the channels often get
irritated, obliging you to get up two
or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous
waste get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast or q few days and
your kidneys will then act fine and
bladder disorders disappear. This
amous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder ir-
ritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive;
harmless and makes q delightful eff
fervescent lithia-water drink which
millions Of men and women take now
and then, thus avoiding serious kid
ney and bladder diseases.-Adv.

SOUTHERN TO OPERATE
JOINT FREIGHT YARDS

Chattanooga, Tenn, March TO-
Many hours will be saved in the
time required for the movement OF
through freight trains of the South
ern Railway System through the in.
auguration Of joint yard operation
at points where separate yards pre-
viously were maintained by lines
now included in the system.
Chattanooga, Birmingham, Mer-
idian, New Orleans, and Oakdale,
Chairman Junction,) Tenn, are
points affected and at each of them
from two to three hours will be
saved on every through freight
train. Business moving between the
West and the South through the
Louisville and Cincinnati gateways
will be expedited by quicker hand
ling at Oakdale and Chattanooga
and likewise the handling Of busi-
ness between the East and the
Southwest will be improved by
greater efficiency at Chattanooga,
Birmingham, Meridian and New
Orleans.
This is one of the measures for
greater operating efficiency adopted
since the regrouping of the lines of
the Southern Railway System. The
saving of time is effected through the
elimination of double handling and
inspection which was necessary when
each train had to move through two
yards.

THE TENANT FARMERS
GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

With the benefits that will accrue
from the rp',stlon of the new Fe J.
eral Farm Loan = ct, AMI because Of
the fact that good lands in the South
are still relatively cheap, tenant
farmers in the South have a golden
opportunity to become home-owners.
AS never before, money in the form
of longtime loans and at the lowest
rates farmers have ever known is
going to be available. ........ ....
Tenants in the North and West,
where lands are valued at from $100
to $500 an acre, are finding it diff
cult indeed to buy and equip farms
of their own, for the simple reason
that it is a very difficult matter to
net even 5 or 6 per cent interest on
such q high valuation. Here in the
South, on the other hand, with good
lands available at from $40 to $50
an acre, the ambitious tenant has
q far better opportunity. And now
that the new rural credits system,
with money at or 6 per cent. Is
getting fairly under way, his oppor-
tunity is indeed a golden one.
We do not expect the new system
to be of much help to the tenant
who has absolutely nothing. Even
where local bankers or landowners
are willing to accept second mort
gage from the purchaser, it is going
to be necessary that he have at least
something in the way Of equipment.
But with the present high prices for
all farm products. the husthng,
thrifty tenant should be able. to
outfit himself in a comparatively
short time. ~,
Let us emphasize; however, the
fact that the coming Of cheap money
for the farms Of the South is going
to tend to boost land values as prob
ably nothing else has: With easier
an;tab,e that more lands will be
bought bought, that the demand viii in il,
crease. and an increased demand al
ways means higher prices.

GIRL TWELVE YEARS OLD
is SIX FEET IN HEIGHT

Baltimore, Md, March. 29.-A
girl who has been growing for the
last three years at phenomenal
rate and il now over six feet tall,
although only IL years old, is being
given the expert attention Of medi-
cal men Of the John Hopkins hospi-
tai, who expect to see her become a
prodigy, q veritable giantess, without
loss Of mental powers.
For the last three years her
growth has been phenomenal, sur
passing all records at the hospital.
Until she was 9 years old, she was
simply large girl, but not likely to
attract attention. Occasional pains
accompanied her sudden growth, but
her health remained unimpaired.
She weighs 1T 1-2 pounds.
Developing a fondness for books,
she has read many more than an
ordinary child of her age and the
severe test of her intellect made by
the experts in that line at the hos
pital gave this verdict: "She is
above the average in intellect"

bile and undigested food will gently
move out of the bowels, and you
have a well, playful child again.
Sick children needn'e be coaxed to
take this harmless "fruit laxative"
Millions of mothers keep it handy
because they know its action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompt
and sure. They also know a little
given today saves sick child to-
morrow.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent
bottle of "California Syrup of Figs"

TWO GOOD CITIZENS

J. Benson Sharp and Daniel E.
Newell, two good farmers of the
Santuc section, both men of the
highest standing and integrity, call
ed to see the editor Saturday. 1t
has not been many years since we
first knew these good men. We were
then in our infancy and they were
young men, just starting in life. Now
both of them have passed the three
score milestone, and we haven't as
much hair as we had when boy.
Mr.. Sharp and Mr.. Newell mar
ried daughters of the late John Ul-
drick of, Long Cane township. They
had double wedding, the cere-
mony being performed by Rev. W.
F. Pearson, then pastor of Long
Cane church. They were reared in
that section.
Ten children came to bless: each
home, nine of the Sharp children
growing to maturity and. seven of
the children of Mr.. Newell. All still
reside in Abbeville County, we be-
lieve. They, like their fathers and
mothers are filling well their places
in the church and State.
Mr.. Sharp tells US that all of his
children are married except two,
Miss Lizzie, who is so well known
in Abbeville, and a son, Carl, who is
now in a business college in Colum-
bia. Five daughters have married
prosperous farmers Of the county.
His sons are farmers too, except the
son now in Columbia. In their old
age he and his good wife find them
selves at home alone, but they are
blessed in their children and grand
children.
Of his children nine are living and
have families of bright and inter-
esting children, making group of
twenty-six grandchildren. They are
divided among the family as follows:
Mrs. ]. s. Simpson has ten children,
Mrs. Strawhorn, eight; Mrs. Milford
three; Mr.. James Sharp, three, and
John Sharp two. When all the fam
ly comes home for Christmas and
Thanksgiving it is a proud day for
the old folks. The Sharps are of
good Presbyterian faith, some of the
daughters making change for the
better by going to the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian church with
their husbands.

Gives 1t Credit For
Saving Child's Life
TELLS OF "MOST AWFUL" AND
"MOST WONDERFUL" THINGS
HE EVER SAW.

tT believe Tanlac jus saved my
daughters life, for she was in an
awful condition when she began TAX
ing it and the doctors had said they
had tried their last remedy" was
the highly interesting statement
made by Mr.. o. T. Ferguson, Of
Anderson, in he endorsement he gave
Tanlac on February 28th. "My
daughter suffered from a very bad
case of some trouble that was like
bloody diorrhea. She bled contin-
ually for five months despite all we
could do, and she suffered agony,
too. She was just bleeding to death,
that is the only way I can describe
it, and the loss of blood had sapped
her strength until I had to life her
and out of bed.
eve had doctors attending her
and they did all they could, and fl
nally they said they had tried their
last remedy, and I could not say
that she was any better than when
they started treating her. We had
about given up hope and had be-
gun to fear that my only child
would never get we'll.
"My mother-in-law had been urg-
ing me to try Tanlac for my daugh-
ter, and at last bought a bottle,
as the doctors had said they had
done all they could. When the bot
tie had been taken she was in pret-
ty good condition generally and won
derfully improved. She gained a
lot of strength, too.
"My daughters trouble was the
most awful thing I ever heard of,
and the way Tanlac helped her was
of the most wonderful things I ever
saw or herad of. My daughter was
put on the road back to strength and
improved health by Tanlac, mad she
soon was able to be up and doing
light work around the house. She
is in good health, and it is all due
to the good Tanlac did her."
"Tanlac got me In good shape,
and I feel better now than I have
for seven or eight years."
