VARIOUS AND ALL ABOUT

The church is. not good place in
which to catch the influenza, for the
simple reason that when people are
the least bit sick they don't go to
church; it's a good(?) excuse to stay
at home. And then, too, those many
persons who have been going to the
opera house regularly have escaped
catching the disease. 1t is caught on
the streets, day time and night time;
any old time.
Well, the picture shows have been
ouarantined on this round and we
hope some people are satisfied. The
little fellows under is are glad that
as long as they couldn't get in the
older ones can't either. The crowds
of well people win have to wait for
an indefinite period to see what be-
came of the lady who was attacked by
the lion in "The Iron Test"
others are of the contrary opinion.
The citizen who told us to call atten-
ton to the wild onions all around the
Confederate monument in rear of the
old court house is right. We agree
with him right now when he says they
should be taken up before spreading
and getting beyond control. The cit
izen is a good Confederate veteran
and does not want that sacred spot OF
ground SCARED by obnoxious growth.

TWO BOTTLES OF DRECO DID
MORE FOR ME THAN $500
WORTH OF OTHER MEDICINES
Says Prominent Proximity Machinist..'
Sever Case of Kidney Trouble Re-
ported Reached by New Herbal Med
icine.-Noted Fraternal Member
Tells Wonderful Story.

Almost everybody in this section
knows C. L. Teal, the prominent fra
ternal worker and machinist in the
Proximity Mills and whose home adj
dress is Box 90, Proximity.
Mr.. Teal is an active member of
the Red Men and has the Distinction
of having gone through all the chairs.
of the Woodmen Of the World. His.
popularity is due in no small measure
to his active interest in the affairs Of
his community and his advice on So
cial and political matters is much
sought.
Mr. Teal has been afflicted for
long time with particularly mallg-
nant form of stomach trouble which
seemed to defy all treatment until
friend of his, Mr.. Basinger, told him
of Dreco, the new herb medicine
which he said helped him wonderful.
".
Here is Mr.. Teal's story of his ex=
perience with Dreco. 1t will prove in
teresting reading for the hundreds of
men and women in this section who
think their cases are beyond relief
Read every word:
81 have been suffering for years and:
the doctors said l could not live six
months longer if wasn't operated on.
They made an X-ray picture and said
I had kidney stone"
81 have spent between $500 and 5000
trying to Sc: cured and two bottles OF
Dreco have done me more suod thau
everything else put together. I have.
suffered such pains in my back that /
could not bend nor stoop over. When
had taken threequarters of the first
bottle of Dreco every pain had left me.
"The reason 1 ever bought the first
bottle was because it had helped my
friend, Mr. Basinger, so much.
T expect to take a half dozen bot
ties before 1 stop and feel that will
be permanently cured"
Dreco is the purely herbal medicine
that is causing such a furor through
out this section Hundreds of men
and women are taking it regularity
and reporting remarkable results in.
cases of stomach and kidney disorders,
liver complaints, constipation, rheu-
matism, catarrh and similar troubles.
Dreco is dispensed by most good
drug shops and is particularly recon-
mended in Newberry by Glider &
Weeks. Co.

Berlin, Saturday, April 10 tby The
Associated Press. 1.-The cabinet de-
voted less than half an hour to the
formulation of its answer TO the en-
tente's invitation to Versailles for the
purpose of receiving a draft of the
peace terms. A feeling of gloom pre-
walls in official circles tonight and The
Associated Press is told that there are
no illusions as to obtaining any miti-
CATION in the dictatorial peace await
ing Germany.
The German emissaries will merely
have instructions to carry the peace
document back to Berlin. The ques-
ton whether the present government
will assume the responsibility of ac-
cepting or rejecting the terms or
whether it win present them for ma
tional referendum is a matter of con-
lecture. Official opinion. so far as
adduced tonight, was opposed to the
declaration of referendum and in
favor of peremptory declination of
peace terms based on any other prop
osition than Mr. Wilson's platform as
the present temper of the German
workingmen is anti-capitalistic and
anti-imperialistic and the Bourgoisie
is in full accord with the proletariat.
The present government, 1t has been
learned is not flirting with the idea of
a plebiscite, and it would much rather
negotiate peace and set the country at
work. But it is also conscious that a
peace settlement in which Germany
has not had voice would precipitate
a storm of national resentment which
no cabinet could weather
