A MERCHESS JUDGE.
One Who Shows No Favor.

A merciless judge is Father Time.
Before him the weak and the wanting
go to the wall. Only the truth can
stand. For years the following state
ment fro a Dillon resident has with
stood this sternest of all tests.
C. E Peck, Dillon, gave the follow
ing statement December 21, 1914:
my kidneys were out Of order and I
had dull pains in the small Of my
back. was so sore and lame 1 could
hardly bend and it was just as hard
to straighten. I hcd headaches and
spells of dizziness. The secretions
passed irregularly and I had other
symptoms of kidney trouble. I read
of Doan's Kidney Pills and after US
ing them as directed soon got relief
from my trouble. I keep Doan's on
hand now and when a kidney medi-
cine is needed they never fail to give
good results"
LASTING BENEFIT
On January 20, 1913 Mr.. Peck said:
IT have had better health the last
four years than I have ever had in
my life. I give the credit to Doan's
Kidney Pills as they gave me cure
four years ago. am glad to confirm
my statement Of 1914"

THE FORECAST WAS WRONG.

When the war was under way, it
was predicted on every hand that
army life would give the city fellows
a taste of outdoor life that they would
not care to relinQuish when they re-
turned to civil life.
It was freely expected, therefore,
that when the war was over thous-
ands of youths would rush to the
country. We were told that they neS-
er again would be satisfied with be-
ing "cooped up in city factories.
The war has been over for some
time and the bows are all back. But
instead of city fellows treking to the
country, they have remained right in
the cities, and the country fellows
have in large numbers abandoned the
farms and gone to the cities. .
And that is one of the chief reas-
ons for the lack of hired help on the
farm. the menace of under-produc-
ton, and the possibilities of a near
famine in the near future.

The Dillon County Warehousing and
Marketing Corporation.

Despite the very inclement weather
On Tuesday morning the 9th there
was a meeting at the court house OF
a majority of the promoters OF the
Dillon County Warehouse and Mark
eting Corporation. All of those pres
ent paid into the treasury 20 per cent
OF their subscriptions.
A permanent organization was not
gone into, however, because it was
thought best to have another meet
ing right away at which a large and
full attendance could be had. This
meeting is called for Saturday morn
ing May 1st, at II o'clock.
Everyone who has subscribed to
this stock is earnestly requested to
lay aside everything else and attend
this meeting. Time is passing rapidly
and it is necessary for the cotton ware
house to be in course Of construc-
ton very soon if we are to be ready
for the crop Of 1920.
Date of meeting, Saturday morning
of this week.

FORTY NINE CENTS
BUYS BOYS SUIT
Home Demonstration Agents Teach
Women How to Combat High
Cost of Living.

Home Demonstrations throughout
the state are teaching women praC
tical ways to combat old H. G. l.. Tie
following quoted letter was written
to home demonstration headquarters
at Winthrop college by an enthusl-
astic little woman who is member
of a home demonstration club in New
berry county: ,
81 was thrilled and my husband
soon knew about it. I had come from
the home demonstration club with so
many ideas and suggestions for max
ing over clothes for my children, a
boy Of five and a girl of three.
ION my next trip to town, visited
the bargain counter and for 49 cents
purchased a ladies crash dress that
was out of, style. Within three days,
time this dress had been transformed
into a boys pretty suit, thing l had
long wanted. Yes, and had the
linen crash suit for 49 cents.
"In a few days time I was again In
town and saw the display Of children's
coats and capes. Mildred must have
ona this winter, but the price. What
could I do for the child? Then came
the vision of mammals old plush cape
one that had served its days IN her
lifetime. But with deft fingers this
seeming worthless cape was changed
into a little girls coat. With scraps
OF velvet from several Of my old hats,
made her bonnet, straight front
and gathered crown and back, lining
it with colored ribbon at a cost of 30
cents. Many were the compliments
On the so cent cap and coat.
Gall this help I owe to the home
club meetings. This is
Just one phase of the work that Is
carried on in our club and can but
think what great help it is to the
women in the community to be able TO
learn the best methods Of doing all
things about the home"

During the war and the period Q

During the war and the period of
reconstruction which followed pub
fishers of newspapers had to over
come many difficult problems, but
the most serious problem they have
had to face during this period is the
shortage in the now rapidly diminish
ing supply of newspaper. The public
does not know and probably does not
concern itself about the supply OF
newspaper. That is a matter which
the publisher must worry over. The
publisher has been worrying. Like
the traveller who loses himself in the
desert and uses every means in his
power to conserve his rapidly dimin-
ishing supply of water, the publisher
has been making desperate efforts to
conserve his supply of newspaper,
hoping that something would hap
pen to relieve the situation. But that
something" has not happened and he
is facing a crisis. Newspaper has ad-
yanced from cents pound in 1914
TO 10 and Is cents a pound in 1920,
and it is hard to get at any price. The
Chicago Tribune is advising the pub
lie not to buy "The Tribune" 1t is
urging friends and neighbors to lend
the paper to their other friends and
neighbors. 1t is printing only limit
ed number each day in order to con-
serve it's supply of paper. The big
New York papers have reduced from
"a and 80 pages to and IL pages.
They have adopted the slogan News
first" and are refusing to take ad-
xertising. Many of the weekly news
papers are reducing to two and four
pages. The situation is serious and
there is no relief j. sight. The Her
aid bought big ly of paper last
summer and has enough to run until
June 1st. 1t has the promise of sew
eral shipments in May, but at price
that would make an oil magnate gasp
for breath. Many newspapers are sus-
pending publication and many more
will suspend before the year is out.
The Herald may have to reduce to
four or probably two pages, but The
Herald is not going to suspend until
print paper becomes as valuable ten
dollar bills.

TWO STRATA OF OIL.
Seepages Found on Five Forks Farm

Clio, April 24-Drilling operations
are progressing daily at the Five
Forks by the Marlboro Oil Developing
company. The well is at a depth of
something like 100 feet, and two
strata of "oil'' seepage have been en-
countered already. One was at a
depth of about 80 feet and the other
was encountered yesterday at depth
Of 70 feet.
The first was very limited but the
latter was more pronounced and of a
greater quantity.
A prominent operator was here to-
day and, having seen the surround
ings, is enthusiastic over the pros
poets and is trying to secure options
Oil adjoining lands, with the promise
of further development and exploiting
Of the oil possibilities of this section.

HARD LIQUOR is
MADE FROM ROCKS.

Greensburg, Pa, April 21.-What
some people regard as a heaven sent
relief has made this town mecca
for thirsty prospectors from all over
Western Pennsylvania. Reports OF the
existence Of 'whiskey rock" on the
big Huffendale farm near here caus-
ed a rush of strangers that makes
the town look like boom commun-
ity Of the old west. According to the
report, a chip from the rock when
dissolved in water, would make a
pint of hard stuff with real kick.
The farm is big and has many
rocks. The stone that has alcohollc
properties has so far not been defi'
nitely located.
