We did think there could be no
circumstance or condition that could
make possible as many lies as attend
q Florida political campaign. But for
battling, perplexing, contradictory
statements, that render one absolutely
helpless in an effort to get at the
truth, commend us to the various
stories relative to conditions at Camp
Wheeler. Well, the agitation can dc
no great harm, anyway If things are
all right there, criticism will not make
them worse; and if it shall have the
effect of giving one soldier lad the
better attention that may save his life

had a good deal of footwork in it,
linn said, and with his little finger
broken, he could not make the ges-
lures as gracefully as Jim wanted, !,
so linn said he would take charge of
the conversation at the supper and
talk on Foreign Relations, which ne
did. Jim and I were the only ones

night of the party and Uncle Bill
said that a good drink would cure
the tooth. Uncle Jim said, no, ne
would not take a drink as he had
sworn off, but Uncle Bill persuaded
him to take the liquor in his mouth
to hold it on the tooth, which ne
tried to do but Uncle Jim said every
time he tried it the liquor would get
by him just like young mule ana
run down his throat, but he Wouldn't
be outdone, he kept trying it again.
Dale Barksdale, who is one of Uncle
.Jim's church-workers, was there and

cure the tooth he suddenly took the

Don't Stay Headachy, Constipated,

get feeling right-who have head
ache, coated tongue, bad taste and
foul breath, dizziness, can't sleep,
are bilious, nervous and upset, both
cred with a sick, gassy, disordered
stomach, or have a bad cold.
Are you keeping your bowels
clean with Cascarets, or merely
forcing a passageway every few
days with salts, cathartic pills or
castor oil?
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested, fermenting food,
and foul gases; take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system all the constipated waste
matter and poison in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straight
en- you out by morning. 10-cent
box from any drug store will keep
your stomcah sweet, liver and bow
els regular, and head clear for
months. Don't forget the children.
They love Cascarets because they
taste good-never gripe or sicken.

COUSIN DAVIS WRITES
Abbeville, S. c., Feb. 3rd, 1917.

Abbeville, S. c., Feb. 3rd, 1917.
Dear Cousin Percy,-We miss
YOU sadly. I have been pinlng Tor
you all day. Things do not seem the
same since you left. hope you Will
soon send me another telegram tell
inc me that you are coming again,
so does Cousin Wide.
Not much has happened since you
left. Judge Gary has come nome
with a tale about killing two deer
down near Charleston. Did you
hear anything about it while you
were down there or has your frieno,
Mr.. Pinckney written you anything
about it, We have talked the matter
over around town and there seems
to be some disposition around town
to think that the Judge has made a
mistake, though he lives on our
street. Col. Patrick Roche, VINO Is
one of our oldest men, and VINO ?'2
runs a setback college on the hllt
near the Southern Railway, says that
the report sounds good deal TO
him like a story old man Sondley
mt ont here some fifty or Sixty
Years 400. It seems that old man
Sond]ev went deer hunting down on
little River, and late in the even.
inc he rode into town, both hlmselt
and his horse being about out Oh
breath, saying that he had Klneo d
deer down on the river. everyone
asked where was the deer, end tne
old man said that he left it on the
river but he had a man working Tor
him named Will Hall, and that ne
would send him for the deer. ALI
his friends got ready to eat vlnson
(which is deer ham) and everybody
was down town to meet VIII when
he returned with the big game. AZ
last he drove up with one OF Capers
Rilev's young calves, which the olo
man had shot. All we know is that
none of us received any vinson from
charleston about the time the Judge
is said to have shot the deer, but on
account of the fact that he lives on
our street people will make lnslnua-
tions against the Judge.
We have had a grand time this
week-two big turkey suppers IN
town ana was dC UOGu VI CAS.A'
Harrison gave one and Uncle jim
the other. We had grand time at
both. Uncle Jim expected to deliver
his inaugural address at his supper
and had gone to a good deal of ex-
pense in getting a crowd present to
hear it. Jim Mcmillan had practiced
Uncle Jim up on how to deliver the
speech and he had all the gestures
made with the left hand. Well,
Uncle Bills throat got sore from
using it so much while you were
here (not from talking, no r
laughing) and uncle Jim had to give
him his room down stairs and 60 up
stairs to sleep. Well last Friday
morning Uncle Jim got up early to
think over the talking points of his
new mules which have just come In,
and as he came down the stairway
he thought he was at the bottom
when he wasn't, and he walked right
out into thin air, and lit on his left
knee and his, left hand little finger

SALTS IF BACKACHY

Stop Eating Meat for q While If
Your Bladder Is Troubling
You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the
blood and they become sort of par
alyzed and loggy. When your kid
neys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the body's uri.
