Walhalla Experiences Going Back for
Over Three Years.

Kidney weakness can be cured.
But what caused it once will cause
1t again.
Here's a Walhalla man who has
had several attacks.
Several times in over three years
Mr.. Oelkers has used Doan's Kidney
Pills.
He says that Doan's have never
failed him.
Over three years ago Mr.. Oelkers
publicly endorsed Doan's.
He Iow confirms his statement.
What better proof of merit?
Proved by years of experience.
Told by Walhalla people.
This is convincing testimony:
B. Oelkers, w. Main street, WAL
halla, says: "My kidneys were out of
order and their action was irregular.
My back also ached. l used Doan's
Kidney Pills and they soon gave me
relief"
y NSrpt Still Uses Doan's. r
More than three years later Mr.
Oelkers said: II have every bit as
much faith in Doan's Kidney Pills
now az when 1 formerly recommend
ed them. Since then, when / have
noticed slight return of kidney
trouble, due to colds, I have used
Doan's Kidney Pills and they have
never failed to give me prompt re-

Cheraw, S. c., Sept. 12.-Dr. Bris-
tol, formerly from Missouri, but now
from Society Hill this State, and fol-
lowing the profession of veterinary
surgeon, spoke in the town hall here
last night, giving his experience as a
prisoner In German prison camp
on one Of the South Sea Islands. He
had been in the employ Of q British
merchant as buyer Of horses and
mules out West for use on tho front,
and had made fourteen successful
trips with ship loads Of animals, but
on his fifteenth trip his vessel was
summarized by the Germans, and he,
with l30 others, after floating on
wreckage for "a hours, was picked up
by a German raider and carried to
the island. Here he was kept for
seven months at hard work In the
fields, with scarcely anything to eat.
He subsisted partly on hoof shavings
from blacksmith shop, which tast-
ed better than the black broth that
was given him.
Every complaint or request was
met with punishment Of some kind.
In chapel he was told to say "God
bless the KAISER" but not endorsing
the sentiment, he varied it by say
ing "ro hell with the KAISER" For
this he was hung up by his thumbs
several days. After suffering tor

German frightfulness seven months,
he was exchanged and returned to

Georgia Peanuts Bring Top Prices.

Quitman, Ca, Sept. 13.-The pea
nut has run up another flag Of pros
perity in the South Georgia fields.
According to the last farm censu g.,
Brooks county raised more peanuts
than any other county in Georgia. but
that was on account Of the hogs
which were fattened on them; very
few peanuts were marketed. This
year they are being marketed.
G. G. Hopper has Is acres in pea
nuts. He has gathered the harvest
from one acre and got 78 bushels Of
peanuts. These he sold for $1.5 0 per
bushel. The hay previously gather
ed paid all the expense of plantin g
and cultivation and the 500 per
acre he got was net profit.

The Power Of. Hone,

One Of the strongest faculties of
human nature Is the passion Of hope.
1t is often the only thing left to us;
1t lives in the heart when all else is
dead Its promises are more valua-
bic than the gift of fortune; it be-
slows freedom on the captive when
chained to the oar; health on the
sick under the very shadows of
death; victory on the soldier in the
hour Of defeat; wealth on the beg
gar while soliciting aims. How we'll
l remember the hopes Of my youth,
when the blood leaped rapturously in
my veins and across the field Of hope
sweet zephyrs blew. The stars that
glittered In the blue shield that
hung so low at night were not bright
er than my hopes. Yes, life was
ablaze with precious hopes. Youth
and hope with all their freshness and
buoyance and golden dreams were
mine. The sublime ecstacy Of a half
prophetic life filled my soul, and the
spring in my heart rippied and toss
ed It's waves, and was never still. The
birds song was one of triumph, never
of despair. If over my head gather
ed clouds Of darkness and gloom, the
power Of hope always saw the silver
lining bursting through. Youth and
hope poured out their treasures at my
feet; unconquered worlds shook out
their banners in my face; great sun
lit paths spread out in mysterious
wildernesses, along with passionate
flowers, beckoning me to come on.
But youth has fled, as dream flies
down the dim aisles Of the night,
where mocking fingers tap at mystic
doors! The gaily-painted boat in
which | started out on life's voyage,
that was to be such brilliant one,
now lies rotting at the wharf. Youth
has gone, and old age Is here, and
close behind us stalks a shadow grim
that none can elude-death. We
hear it's footsteps more distinctly
every day, and feel its icy breath
upon our paling cheeks! But what
does that matter? Hope will remain
till the last-till it ends in glad pro-
fusion when the pearly gates swing
open!
But was there ever such hope set
before mortal man as the Gospel OF
the Lord Jesus Christ? God for our
Father. Christ for our Elder Brother.
Angels for our companions; pardon
for all our sins, the very peace Of
God for our inheritance; eternal hap
piness for our portion, and Heaven
for our home!
Sweet as the hope ofIIeaven springs,
Unsown, in the souls Of men;
AS the seed shall burst with the germ
or life, and grow ripe again.

The following newspaper CLIPPINGS
will be read with interest bv Oconee
citizens. John l.. McWhorter is we'll
known in Oconee, where he has a
most or friends, who will be glad to
learn of his appreciation in the Flor
ida newspaper field. We quote the
Following paragraphs:
Clearwater News: McWhorter Is
doing some good paragraphing for
the Tribune.
Ocala Star: Lambright is licking
stamps In the Tampa post office, but
there is mighty fine writer in his
place on the Tampa Tribune. None
of us are Indispensable. Even our
place might be filled.
Largo Sentinel: That man Nc
Whorter, who took Lambrights
place as editorial writer on the Tri-
bune, is some paragrapher, and he'll
need to be if he keeps the editorial
page up to the standard set by Ed,
which he promises to do.
Clearwater Sun: John l.. McWhor-
ter has succeeded Edwin d. Lam
bright as editorial writer on the
Tampa Morning Tribune, and will
keep the editorial page Of that paper
fully up to the high standard which
has formerly characterized it.
Ocala Star: If Mr.. McWhorter can
keep up the work he has been doing
the past few days, the Tribune's edi-
torial reputation will not deterio-
rate. We also hope that Lambright
will hold on to his present fat job
until it is time for him to be pen
stoned. 1t is seldom that a newspa-
per writer is able to lay up anything
for his old age
Florida Times-Union: John l..
McWhorter Is following Edwin Lam
brights editorial style so closely that
a majority Of the Florida newspap er-
men think Ed Is still editing the
Tampa Tribune as we'll as the Tampa
post office. Mr.. McWhorter is skill
ed all-'round newspaperman and he
is doing splendid work on the Tri-
bune. Wallace Stoval was lucky to
secure man who can keep up the
hot editorial pace set by Ed Lam
bright.
Times-Union: Having satisfactory
ly filled Ed Lambright's place on the
Tribune, and having laid in supply
of print paper to last many months,
Col. Wallace Stovall, Of the Tampa
Tribune, Is off on a vacation trip
through Arkansas, Missouria and IL
linois, to be absent three or four
weeks. Needless to say, Col. Peter
0, Knight is his travelling compan-
ion. There's two men who always
have a good time wherever they
may go.
Tampa Times: John L. McWhor-
ter, one Of the best known newspa-
permen in Florida, has succeeded
Edwin D. Lambright, the new post
master, as editorial writer of the
Tribune. From an. editorial view
point Mr.. Lambright's shoes are hard
to fill, but Mr.. McWhorter Is a good
writer and we congratulate him upon
the fact that Lambright's resignation
gave him all opportunity to move
to Florida's real metropolis. We also
congratulate Mr.. Lambright upon be-
ing appointed to his present position.

TOO MUCH TAXES

The Tampa Tribune criticises the
state tax budget as follows:
"The state tax rate for the year
was announced yesterday. The total
millage for this year is nine, as
against six and one-half for last year.
This millage is divided into four mills
for general revenue, one mill for
schools, three mills for pensions, one
half mill for state board of health and
one-half mill for roads.
"The increase in the tax-rate is
largely due to the big appropriations
made by the late legislature, the cit
rus canker, livestock board, etc. AS
progressive sentiment in the state
was in favor of these appropriations,
we have no right to complain about
the increased tax rate which has re-
suited from them.
"The fact that the state pays pen
sion tax rate of three mills, nearly as
much as for general revenue and
three times as much as for schools,
will strike the average observer as
remarkable-especially since fifty
two years have elapsed since the civil
war and nearly all the actual partic-
ipants in that war are dead.
"More than half-century after
the war and with only few of the
soldiers in that war still alive, our
pension tax is greater than ever be-
fore.
"There is undoubtedly something
radically wrong about this. No one
begrudges the deserving pensioner
the sum he received from the state.
Throughout their lives, these brave
men should be remembered in a prac-
teal and substantial way. No tax
payer objects to paying all that is
right and proper for this purpose. But
no one can gainsay the fact that the
present pension outlay of the state
must go largely to undeserving per-
sons, who have no just claim upon the
pension fund. When the pension fund
of the state is nearly as large as its
general expense fund, there can be no
question that the state is being un-
mercifully 'stung' for unwarranted
pensions. The Tribune would like to
see every bona fde Confederate vet
eran in the state and every dependent
widow of a bona fide Confederate vet
eran, receive a substantial pension.
Beyond these, no person is entitled to
a pension. If the pension roll were
limited strictly to those mentioned,
will anyone dare assert that the out
lay for pensions would be what it
now is-or, indeed, one-half what it
now is? We think not. The Tribune
is in favor of legitimate pensions to
those who have earned them-but it
objects to an indiscriminate distribu-
ton, which has grown to one-third OF
the total tax rate of the state"
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1917-07-02
HE RECOMMENDS
HIMSELF HIGHLY

The Tampa Tribune is rather ir-
reverent toward Cats new board of
control. It says:
"Tn luminous editorial on the
state board of control, the Palm
Beach Post, edited by Joe L. Earman,
goes on to tell how this board must
be accorded the highest rank among
the governmental organizations of the
state and to outline the important
and responsible duties which are vest
ed in it's members. The Post goes on
to say:
"tIt is obvious that only men of the
highest character and requirements,
who are willing to sacrifice their time
and labor for the most undeniably
public spirited motives, can be prop
erly selected for membership to the
board of control
"Inasmuch as Mr.. Earman has been
thus selected, and without doubt
properly selected according to the
standard set by his own editorial, we
cannot avoid recalling the story with
which Perry Wall had the whole state
laughing in the last campaign about
the fellow who certain recommend
ed himself most highly"
