BRIDGE OVER CATAwBA.

A movement is on foot in York

bridge across the Catawba at Cure

how far the agitation has gone. but
we are much interested in an edito-
rial article appearing In the Rock
Hill Record of Friday. in which the
Record attempts to defend Lancas-

watched it pretty closely for the past

If Lancaster had no other claim
to trade from the outlying districts
than that it is the nearest and most

around it would be 'of short life and

BUILDING CONCRETE ROADS.
1t is quite natural that the cost of
construction Of concrete roads in diff
ferent sections of the country will
vary to more or less extent 1t is
possible that the cost in some sec
tions will total up a great deal more
than that in other sections, this be-
ing due chiefly to the proximity of
the material to be used and the diff
ference in transportation cost of ma
Chinery. material and supplies
Again labor may be more plentiful
and cheaper in one section than an
other, and in the matter OF building
roads labor is a large factor. South

which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman s ills.
Over $50, 600 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there Is one preparation that
has been very successful IN overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t ~ on sale
