THE SP0RTLIGHT
From the Game.
az cRANTLANp RICE.

Since I have seen the greatest fade
The game has ever known;
Since | have watched the stars who
played
Drop out-and walk alone
The game at least has taught me this.
From birth across to death.
That headlines are ii flectinS bliss
And fame is but u breath.
4 star renowned ties up the score,
Amid the frenzicd calls,
But when you look for him once more
He's back with Cedar Falls;
But yesterday he ruled the field
And held the rooters' trust;
Tomorrow on the record shield
His name will be in dust.
The game will teach you quite n bit,
II you should care to learn.
How brief the space from peak to pit
When one has reached the turn:
And all the shifting seasons through
Iou'll find amid the plot.
How soon a Chance can fade. from

GONE FOR GOOD
Results That Last Are What Ap-

Kidney sufferers in Edgefeld
want more than temporary relief.
They want results that last
Results like Mrs. Lowe tells
about.
Hers was a thorough test.
Three years is long time,
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood
the test and stood it we'll.
Why experiment with an untried
medicine?
People here in Edgefeld have
shown the way.
Read the story of Mrs. K. L.
Lowe of Cedar Row. She says:
my back had bothered me for
months and 1 became weak and run
down. From other symptoms l
knew that my kidneys were at fault.
Doan's Kidney Pills gave me quick
and positive relief" No trouble
since.

sion to use Doan's Kidney Pills for
several years. They have cured
me of all symptoms of kidney dis
ease"

Patriotic Gathering at Johnston.

All of the people of Johnston
came together in the Methodist
church last Sunday night, the meet
ing combining religious services and
a patriotic rally to raise funds for
the war work of the Young Mems
Christian Association. 1t was the
writer's privilege and pleasure to
attend as county chairman, and the
occasion gave US an opportunity to
see first hand the beautiful harmony
and commend able spirit of co-opera-
ton which prevail among the john
ston people. While we have al
ways held the good people of john
ston in the very highest esteem, yet
what our eyes beheld and what our
ears heard Sunday night has caused
us to have still greater admiration
for them. The programme, which
is given in detail by our Johnston
correspondent this week, was ad-
mirably arranged, and every word
was ftly spoken, arousing the large
audience to a white heat of patriotic
zeal and enthusiasm. Had the Kais-
er taken a peep into the Methodist
church of Johnston Sunday night
he would at once have made bona
ide proposal of peace.
When the opportunity was given
for voluntary contributions they
were announced so fast that two
secretaries could scarcely record
them, the amounts ranging from
$4,000 to Sl.0U. The fact that
Sl,24O was raised in a short time
shows that large subscriptions were
in the preponderance. Since Sun
day night Johnston has increased
its subscriptions to the Y. M. Q. A.
to 1890, for which the county
chairman is profoundly grateful. We
shall never forget the generosity and
cordial cooperation of the pastors
and people of Johnston.

Our Government Call to the
Farmers.

Up to this time little grain and
especially wheat has been seeded.
There is little time left if we ex-
pect to obtain a profitable crop at
harvest time. Surely our people
have not forgotten the call by our
Government for the seeding of an
increased acreage in wheat to the
amount of thirty-seven per cent.
over last year. Last years acreage
in the state was 225,000 acres. In
order to meet the demands of the
Government we should seed $780,
600 acres. This is absolutely nee
essary if we are to do our part in
furnishing the bread supply for our
armies and the armies of our al
lies.
We are asking our young men to
defend our honor and our liberty,
if need be by giving up their lives.
If they are willing to die for US,
surely our people should be willing
to live for them.
County demonstration agent w.
E. Stokes is being assisted by de-
monstration agent u. D. Robertson
of Hampton county and county
Superinten of Education Fuller in
a wheat and pig campaign through
out the county. The idea being to
visit as many schools as possible
and distribute pledge cards to the
pupils and in this way get the
parent to agree to plant two acres
of wheat to the plow and to add
on one more brood sows.
All boys on farms between the
ages of ten and eighteen years de-
string to enter corn or pig club
work should hand their names in to
their school teacher, and in the
meantime SOW half acre down to
rye for grazing.

to you. His services are free.

MIR. TooIe Takes MIR. Byrnes to
Task on His Plea of Dignity.

Dear SIR
So you do not care to meet me
now in debate or explain those ques-
tions to the people?
In addition to your last letter
declining to meet me, you have said
in print that II do net think it
digniied", meaning to debate or ex-
plain my question. THIS SMACKS
OFAUTOCRACY, SURELY NOT
DEMOCRACY. The book of man
in the Book of All Books says
"FOLLEY is SET IN GREAT
DIGNITY. The great Il am" on
man power without regard for an
accounting to the people, whom you
are supposed to represent. | trust
that the time will Dever come for
me to hide behind higLness, dignity
or nobility to keep from answering
for my political transgressions.
The five hundred words used to
show why you should not explain
and answer to the people would have
answered all of my questions fully.
But the responsibility rests upon
you. How could the giving of an
account of your votes and acts, at
this time, to an interested citizenship
hurt our country's cause or imperil
her future? With your rabid
speeches scattered throughout the
dietrict, the people want to know
how you VOTED. This will have
to be done, SO that it may be deter
mined whether your presen t
PATRIOTISM will square with
your OFFICIAL RECORD.
You seem concerned about my en-
trance fee of $3.50. 1t is true, that
/ haven't as much money as your
self with your opportunity of FOUR
TERMS in CONGRESS, for AC-
EMULATION. But you need
not fear when the time comes, will
get it together.
You must not forget that you are
still servant of the people and not
their master, and they have right
now and at all times, whether cam
paign year or not, to demand an ex-
planation of your acts and votes.
Past experience has taught them re-
ports and eleventh hour letters are
to be stunned.
You have tried to evade my ques-
tions by saying they are misleading
and untrue, with the CONGRESS
SIONAL RECORD, in your hands,
and you know that very few of the
people have got them and cannot
get them. The record cannot be
rubbed out. You are afraid to
turn on the light"
Respectfully,
q. L. TOOLE.

Results Amazing
Says Columbian.
Is Like Different Man
After Taking Vitona.
Had Lost Twenty Pounds.
KIRBY GAINS SIX POUNDS IN
TWO WEEKS-IS IMPROV-
ING EVERY DAY.
Had Lost Twenty Pounds.

II wouldn't take all the money in
Columbia for the good Vitona has
done me-" said J. NJ. Kirby, 1910
Hampton Street, we'll known Co.
lumbian citizen, few days ago.
"Yes Sir" continued Mr.. Kirby,
the results l obtained from Vitona
have simply been amazing, for 1 had
been going down hill fifteen months
and could find nothing to check my
troubles until l took Vitona. I've
been taking it only two weeks and
have actually gained six pounds, al
ready.
Il was in very bad rundown
condition and was losing weight
and strength every day. In fact, l
fell off twenty pounds. l was SO
nervous at night l couldn't sleep
and all during the day [ was tired
and listless. I was also troubled
with indigestion and couldn't eat
hardly anything without suffering
afterwards. l got so weak it was
all that I could do to work and
several times l came pretty near
giving up altogether.
Il shall always bless the day l
began taking Vitona for I began
then to regain my lost health, after
the first few doses, and now I'm not
like the same. l have good appe-
tite, eat anything u want and my
food agrees with me perfectly. Pm
not nervous any longer, my sleep
is sound and restful and l get up
every morning feeling Just fine.
My work is no longer burden but
instead is pleasure to me. l am
gaining in weight and strength
every day and am beginning to feel
like my old self again. My wife
says l am always talking about
Vitona and praising it for almost
making a new man of me. It's the
finest thing of its kind I have ever
seen.'
Vitona is sold by druggists.

Everybody Should Assist.

The drafting for the frs. quota or
increment ofathe army has been prac-
tically completed and.very soonaamend-
ed or revised regulations will be issued
for the selection of additional men for
military service. Many of those who
have registered will need assistance in
answering questions that will be pro-
pounded under the new regulations.
President Wilson has called upon
teachers, lawyers, men of other pro-
fessions and the citizens generally to
: volunteer their services to the end
that the work of selecting the next ar
my proceed with all possible haste. 1t
is hoped that men will offer every pos
sible assistance. Hon Thomas P.
~Cothran of Greenville, president of the
South Carolina Bar Association, has
addressed the following open letter to
the members Of this association:
"By reason of my official connection
with you this communication is so ad-
dressed, but it is intended to reach
every practicing lawyer of the State.
''The president of the United States
has called for your active cooperation
and assistance in the great undertake
ing of selecting and moblizing the
second contingent of the National
Army. He declares: I urge men of
1.-The legal profession to offer them
selves as associate members of the
legai advisory boards to be provided
n each community for the purpose of
advising registrants of their rights
and obligations and of assisting them
IN the preparation of their answers to
the questions which all men subject
to draft are required to submit.
1.-The governor Of the State will,
within few days, appoint legal
advisory board for each county in the
State, of which notice in the public
prints will be given. AS soon as these
boards shall have been appointed,
they will secure the written pledge
of every lawyer in the respective coun..
ties to become associate members OF
these boards, and to carry out the re-
quest of the president of the United
States. 1t is suggested that as soon
as those lists shall have been COM
pleted they be published in the county
papers, so that every registrant will
know that upon application ne vii!

the local attorneys in the work In

Draft Law Should be Amended.

When congress convenes, among the
earliest matters to receive attention
should be the passage of an amendment
to the selective draft law requiring
aliens, or foreigners who have not
taken out naturalization papers, to
serve in the army. 1t is not just to
our American citizens to require them
to enter the army and then allow men
of foreign birth who enjoy the privi-
leges of citizenship and have the pro-
lection of our laws to receive dis
charges from the local boards. I'm
der the present draft law no alien or
person who is the subject of another
country can be forced to serve in the
American army.

No Hope For Miners.

Butte, Mont, June 9.-All hopes
that any of the unaccounted for min
ers, believed to number more than
IT'S, had escaped from the North
Butte mines, in which fire broke out
last night, were abandoned tonight
when the helmet men penetrated to
the 2O0-foot level of the Spectacular
mine from adjoining mines, waded
through water up to arm pits, en-
countered strong gas and saw many
bodies which they were unable to
recover. Forty dead had been TAX
en- out up to tonight. 1t is believed
the mine damage will exceed S1,OOQ,-
600. The Granite mountain shaft,
34OO feet deep, was a roaring chin
ney tonight.
The fire which started on the p
4OO-foot level spread quickly, cut
ting off the escape of men on lower
levels.
Warning of their danger came soon
enough to permit men on the level to
escape. They Immediately formed
rescue parties and attempted to go
down the shaft to the men believed
entombed, but failed.
One hour after the outbreak OF the
fire, L. D. Frink, superintendent; NJ.
D. Conners, foreman; n. D. Brawl7y,
general manager of the granite shaft,
owned by the North Butte company
declared they could account for 21S
out of AS who were in the shaft
when the fire started.
