"cIRL OF MY HEART"
IS SPLENDID SHOW
Pretty Score And Pretty Girl'
Make Hit At Academy.

"Girl of My Heart, which is now
playing at the Academy of Music IS
a very clever little musical comedy
with a pleasing score and just
enough plot to keep things interest
inp. The work of Eda Ann Luke
who plays the leading role is splen-
didlv done-she can sing, she can
act, and: she surely has the person
ality.
Werner Saxton sang well, tom
fact the whole cast and the whole
chorus could sing, and did sing. Es-
pecially good was a quartet in which
Miss Luke, Miss Deyo, Saxton and
Mccarthy were the singers. In her
various different character parts, in
Guiding among others a regular
"Huckleberry Finn" part and a "Si-
rem" part, Miss Luke's talent and
skill shows to good advantage. The
show will be repeated tonight.
Now a. word about the chorus.

# KIDNEYS ACT .
BAD TAKE SALTS
Sass Baekache il . dgn you have BEEN
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid

When YOU wake mp with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says q ~well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the Kidneys in their effort to filter It
from the blood and they become sort OF
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; -
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
YOU have rheumatic twinges. The urine
ia cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi.
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in q glass OF water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with ithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to n~eutralize acids in the urine 80 it
no longer initiates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
. Jad Salt, is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes q delightful, eter.

all pretty and well chosen, their
dancing fine, and their singing way
above the average musical comedy
choruses.
The play itself rs was said In the
beginning, was for the most part
devoid Of plot, but the loss Is not
felt because there il SO much else
going on continually to take, up ones
attention. There are many bright
and witty lines and not n is lost
to the audience by poor rendering
of the same. The staging and seen
ic effects are clever-and to sum 1t
all up, the show is just the kind OF
show the tired, brain-weary business
man likes TO see at the end OF a
busy day.-Daily News, (Newport

for the invention.
People who have seen his ginnery
in operation with this attachment

ed with the value of it. 1t. is de-
monstrated that with this new inven-
ton from fifty to one hundred per
cent. more cotton a be easily
ginned on the ordinary cotton gin,
which means a great saving in coal,
wood, or other fuel, in labor, the
wear and tear of machinery and
other ways.
Mr.. Wakefield's friends hope that
he will realize the full rewards
which his invention justifes.

vanced time) in the afternoon. Doc
tor Jester, who has succeeded Ilr,
B. n. DeMent at the First Baptist
Church in Greenwood, will prea:h
the sermon-which promises to be
an immense treat to those who
come. Those of Greenwood say that
he is the peerless preacher and that
he has gripped the city firmly by
his wonderful logic and eloquence.
That his message will be a great
one full of gripping power is as
sured.
At the close Of the sermon the
audience will adjourn to the front
of the building, where the Memoir
ial Honoring the boys who have gone
to the war will be, seen, decorated
with national colors and flags and
yelled. Here Dr., Jester will do

audience can keep az souvenirs.
The church last Sunday, by I'M
animous vote, authorized a message

Camp Jackson requesting that the
Abbeville boys there be allowed to
return home for the occasion.
Col. Bailey has wired that ne Will
be present and has consented TO
preside at the meeting. He will
bring with him several automobile
loads of the military students In
full dress. ...
It is desired that all patriotic cit"
liens, without regard to church al
6liations, attend. The hour has been
placed so an not to conflict with
other church services, with that idea
in view. The ministers Of the town
are requested to be seated or the

PIGEON PIE.

In this day of the high cost of
living a pigeon pie ought to taste
pretty good, so we are going to be-

They are not our pigeons 10 we be-
'lieve they will make an excellent

They have built under the church
and equipped the beautiful hall
where the young people of the
church meet to know each other, to
engage in basketball and other
amusements, or to read, as they like.
And they are still going ahead.
They don't mind the water, nor
debt either. /
The credit for the beginning OF
all this work, or the leadership IN
it belongs to the former beloved
pastor of the church, Rev. Louis >.
Bristow. A few years ago ne was
called away from Abbeville, and
then the debts were still big. .EV-
erybody was sorry to lose him, but
the people we're sorry more for the
Baptists than for themselves, be-
they felt that Mr.. Brlstow
was the only man who could lead
this good people out of the wilder
ness of debt in which they were
to be lost. But while his
going was greatly lamented by ms
own membership, they were no.
discouraged. They called DR.. swope'
who is known the country over as
an eloquent and thoughtful preafn-
err. But few have thought OF INN
as a fnancier worthy to take up
the work where Mr.. Bristow lett IL
off.
His report, on Sabbath morning.
showed that he has been
eoual to the task. He, in the course
If his remarks about the three thou
sand dollars being paid off, stated
that of the ten thousand dollars
borrowed as above stated, only three
DOI3o"So
thousand dollars remained unpaid.
He stated further that with the octo
hor navment the debt against the
will have been liquidat-
Cd He further stated that in the
there was two hundred
dollars surplus or account OF the
ordinary expenses Of the church,
entirely out Of the ordi-
with most churches.
How have they accomplished so
much? Well, it would be hard to
saw. That they have had competent
leadership, we all know and to that
leadership at the beginning and now
at the end much Of the praise must
20. Then, too, there are men in the
church, big-hearted men, Who in the
years which have come, have greas-
ly prospered and they. have not al
lowed their right hands to know
whit the left hands have done.
Many Of them, no doubt, have given
TO this church more money than AZ
times in their lives they over e1-
to have. They deserve q
great part Of the credit. But nei-
Their good leaders, nor a few men
with money and big hearts can
alone build churches. 1t can only
be done, as may all big tasks be
done, by cooperation between all
the membership, by the small con-
which a great many
faithful men and women make and
continue to make from week to
week, and the good york they do.
In the presence Of these faithful
perhaps, but ever earnest peo-
ple. let US stand uncovered. They
turn the wheels which make the
world to move.
And we would not stop without
that the membership of the
church has itself greatly improved.
The old members are different men
and women now that they find
themselves in a handsome new
church with a fine pastor, one of
the best choirs IN the country, with
a good Sabbath school, and every
thing else that makes a church
worth while-all of which has come
to them through the agency Of their
own efforts-consistent, persistent
efforts. New members have been
