ALBERT HUGHES.

On the 2lst Of January past, God saw
fit to take from our home our dear hus-
band and father. How much we miss
him--thc home is so dark without him.
But God givcth and He takcth away,
blessed be the name Of the Lord. He
will not only be missed by his loved
ones but by all who knew him.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved IS stiled;
A place is vacant in our homes
Which never can be filled.
We shall meet, but we Shal miss him,
There will be one vacant chair;
Yet in our aching hearts we know
We have no "Papa" here.
How we miss thee in our homo, dear
papa,
A shadow DER our life Is cast;
How we miss the sunshine of thy face,
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is SO dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord,
Where love has bound the heart,
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the word
ave must forever part"
Dear loved one, we must leave thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will ERE be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES.
Dear Advertiser Friends:

Dear Advertiser Friends:
l am the chief cook and bottle wash
er at this house, SO in order to answer
the many queries in regard to the
story recently published in your col
umns, Truth is Stranger Than Fic-
tion," that has come to me, have
decided to tell you friends in this let
ter when and how l heard that tragic
story.
First, get the impression off your
minds that the event happened in Lau-
rcns county or in South Carolina for
that matter. 1t did not occur in either,
but tho fact romans it did happen Just
as | described
One day | sat in my homo in anoth-
CT state. 1t was a drcary day outside,
but the cheerful fire within dispcllcd

came back to the friends mid the old
red hills Of Laurcns, ito the friends
Of them that's living and the graves
Of them that's dead" There came a
gentle knock at the door and to my
summons, Come in, there entered a
little woman | had never before seen.
| She soon explained, however, that she
was sister Of one Of my nearest
|neighbors on visit for a short while.
The children had been over the even
ing before playing and knew that I
was not well, so as it did not suit the
ncighbor to come that morning the
little stranger had come in her place
The drizzling rain outside had turned
into down-pour and her call was
Heightened into hours. She was SO
refined and cultured and proved to be
charming company. We were soon

time that I had heard her sister speak

EDUCATION WAS THE
ONE Constructive NOTE

Legislature just Ended Passed Several
Educational Acts. Next IN Import
ahce was "Lemon Extract Law"
Sessions Outstanding Failure was
on Good Roads.
The general assembly, in the ses-
sion which has just closed accom-
plished several outstanding things.
The most momcntous piece of con-
structivc legislation was the compul-
sorry education act. The greatest
achievements Of this session were
along tho line Of education. In add-
ton to the compulsory school law,
whlch REQUIRES all children between
eight and fourteen to attend school at
least four consecutive months in a
year, the assembly enacted legislation
appropriatng $4,000 for vocational
education, which also entities the Stat
to $4,000 of federal aid, and passed an
act appropriatng money for the sup
port of weak schools, making it pos
sfblc for them to have seven months
In school term. The new Citadel bill
was also passed.
Next in Importance to the educa-
ton law comes possibly the "lemon
extract bill" prohibiting the sale Of
tonics, extracts, toilet articles and
such drugs that contain sufficient al
cohol to cause intoxication.
What has been called the "out-
standing error Of the 1919 session
was the failure to pass the good roads
bill. This measure got by the house
and passed the senate, and then when
IT was sent back to the house for con-
currence in amendments was killed.
This happened on the last day save
one Of the session. On the final day
an attempt was made to revive the
bill, but this. too, proved vain.
The general assembly brought about
several legislative accomplishments
on the negative side. 1t refused to en-
act the bill that provided for the abo-
lition Of the tax commission. It re.
fused to pass a bill to allow the pur-
chaSe OF gallon OF WhiSkey q month
instead of a quart. Another class of
legislation that did not get far along
the channels Of legislation were the
measures looking to an eight-hour
working day. There are many mem
Ders who say this will come next year.
The work hours for fire fighters were
limited to 81 week.
The legislature passed State
game law, to take the place OF the ono
recently declared unconstitutional
Richland county got new rural police
system Several counties were au-
thorized to float bonds for road i'm.

State officers were increased

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and ali our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer rs a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having good kidney flush
ing any time.

THE WHITE STONE.

TINKER Bob was learning fast the
great story of life and it pleased
him. He was much interested in the
work and troubles of these new
friends and hoped he might always
be with them.
He took the White Stone out of
his pocket. 1t looked so pure and
clean that he hated to rap it against
the gray stone but he knew that was
the only way to find out its story.
AS he tapped the stones in his de-
sire to go forth and know more,
the Beautiful Creature stood at his
side again-this time in robe of
white, all decorated with sparkling
jewels.
"Where do we go?" asked Tinker,
as hd gazed upon the mSatchless
beauty of the Creature.
"To hear a beautiful story" came
the answer.
1t was no more than said until
they were away. And in an instant
Tinker found he was standing by
the side of a Farmers garden wall.
In the garden were flowers of all
kinds waving their heads in the
morning breeze.
Tinker heard a faint cry. r.
sounded close to the wall. He
listened quietly and he heard it again.
Hooking carefully along the wall,
Dhis eyes beheld \ terrible sight.
There was the Ga.'den Adder with
Brother Toad in n, mouth.
Let me goW cried Brother Toad.
"What did | ever dc to you?"
The Garden Adder just grinned
and held fast.
Just at this moment the Farmer
came along, digging the weeds away
from the garden wall He saw at
once the danger which Brother Toad
was in and said "Now this is sad,
indeed. l gave both Of yol the right
to live in my garden, and Row, Mr..
Adder, you are trying to kill Brother
Toad. What does this all meant"
Then Mr.. Adder tried to run away
but the Farmer stepped on his tail.

crickets," said the Adder.
