why THAT LAME BACK?

That morning lameness - those
sharp pains when bending or lifting,
make work burden and rest impos-
sible. Don't be handicapped by q
bad back-look to your kidneys. You
will make no mistake by following
this Bamberg residents example.
L. B. Fowler, contractor and build
er, Church St., says: MY kidneys
were weak and the secretions unnat-
ural and highly colored. My back
was as stiff as leather and so lame I
couldn't bend over. Doan's Kidney

Mrs. MacSwiney, or Miss MacSWl-
ney, we forget which, stated the 9th
er day that the Irish freedom hght
is similar to the struggle Of Amerl-
ca for freedom in 1776. America
did not attempt to get her freedom
by the indiscriminate murder OF
British officers, and she did not carry
ON any secret warfare, such as has
characterized recent Irish activities.
Neither did America have its Ulster,
oppesed almost unanimously to sep
aration from the mother country.

Some of the same people VINO

Catholics, so far as we can tell by the
published reports. They do not hes
itate to meddle with the internal al
fairs of Great Britain, thus endan-
gering the relationship of Britain and
America, in regard to Irish freedom
but they look with holy horror on the
league Of nations, because the league
seeks the cooperation of the nations

The state government is asking
the next legislature for approximate
ly s1O,O00,000, sum of money not
even heard of before for state gov
ernmental purposes. This is an IN
crease of some three millions or more
over last year, when more than SIX
millions were appropriated. Such
talk is out of the question. We don't
believe the legislature will listen to
It for moment The people VINO
nav the bills in South Carolina are
expecting the next legislature to ma
terially reduce taxes instead of IN
creasing them. The purchasing pow
or of a dollar will be anywhere from
a5 to so per cent. more next year
than it was in 1920, and yet they
are wanting fifty per cent. increase
in the appropriations. The state,
like everybody else, has enjoyed
tremendous orgy of spending, but
times have changed, and so has the
value of money, and appropriations
will certainly have to change with
them. A ten million dollar appro-
priation will not be accepted by the
people Of this state and the govern
mental heads may as well revise
downward

The taxes on the Herald Book
Store, as fixed by the state tax COM
mission, amount to s40.67 for the
state and county, and the city tax
will be about s25, total on this lit
tie establishment of more than S65.
We can only imagine what the real
merchants of Bamberg will have to
pay. The volume of business done
by the book store is very small, nee
essarily on account of the nature OF
its business, and if such items as
store rent sand lights were charged
against the store, we are quite posi-
tive the profit left would be so small
that it would require an expert &C
countant to figure it out. Yet this
store must pay S65 for the privilege
of doing business. If all the other
stores in Bamberg pay taxes at this
rate we cannot see how the owners
manage to make a living. 1t is pc
culiarly singular, anyway, that the
tax commission should have centered
on the mercantile establishments to
save it's face. While. Bambergs nm
est farm lands, that can't be bought
for 500 an acre are still going on
the tax books at six or seven dollars
an acre, the stores are paying on AZ
per cent. Of their stocks. Are the
merchants any more PROSPEROUS than
ANYBODY else? Why pick on the mer-
chants?

Mr.. A. S. Kennedy Retires A.
Cashier i;

Last December Mr.. A. S. Kennedy
offered his resignation as cashier to
the board Of Directors of the Due
West Bank asking to be relieved as
soon as a successor could be secured
Mr.. B. F. Mauldin, the president, and
Mr. Kennedy, the cashier, were ap'
pointed committee to nominate
successor. At a recent meeting OF
the board, the name of Professor P
L. Grier was presented and he was
unanimously elected. Professor
Grier has sent in his resignation to
the Board of Erskine College and has
accepted the position offered him by
the bank. He will continue in the col
lege until the close of this year. Will
take up the work. actively the first Of
July. In the meantime he will fami-
liarize himself with the work, follow
ing the close of the college. Prof
Grier is fine master in figures and
ought to bring a trained mind to the
work which he will soon take up. His
new position runs somewhat in line
with his former in the chair of mathe-
matics, which he has filled so ad-
mirably and to the high satisfaction
of the Trustees of the College.
Mr.. Kennedy retires much to the
regret of his friends of the bank. He
has made a signal success of his posi-
ton as cashier in the bank The bank
has been one of the most successfully
managed financial institutions in this
part of the country. When the bank
published what they called an "honor

end on the list. The capital is now
worth $3.50 per share. During the life
of the bank it has paid two special
dividends of 100 per cent in ad,
didtion to it's yearly dividends run,
ming from to 16 per cent.
1t is thought that Mr.. Kennedy
will not be wholly disassociated from
the bank, but in easy reach, so that
his experience and counsel may be
had.He expects to take well earned
rest. "A. R. P.

MISS CARRIE COCHRAN

The talented hand of Miss Carrie
Cochran has been stilled by death
No more will she come to the office te
do cheerfully her days work. The last
line has been cast; the last copy fas
been corrected; and she has mailed
the last number to the readers of this
paper. But it is we'll to know that
what she did, she did well; that those
whom she served, she served faith
fully; that she won the goodwill and
the affections of those who knew her
best, and that her life was message
to the world of right living, duty
well done, and of conservation to that
which was best in life.
She honored the position of the
growing army of young women who
work. She tried and she achieved. In
the days of girlhood when youth looks
to pleasure and is care free and life
seems the happiest, she assumed
with others the responsibilities of a
home. 1t was hers in the days of her
young womanhood to minister to a
sick sister and an aged mother. And
she went about it uncomplainingly-
cheerfully. To them she was blessing
indeed. &C.; .....:----s,-.
But she is gone from amongst US.
The latter years of her life held out
every promise of great happiness to
her and the devoted sister, whose lives
were so intertwined that they became
almost one and the same person. But
she was not Of the world for pleasure.
Hers was life of service, and those
whom she should serve had gone be-
fore. She followed them. Her body
rests in Long Cane cemetery besides
that of her father and mother and
sister. Her spirit is with the angels OF
God. She was Christian.

Miss Carrie Cochran died at her
home on Magazine street, Thursday
morning, March 11th., at o'clock, in
the thirty-second year of her life. She
succumbed to the after effects of in
= fluenza and pneumonia.
Miss Carrie was the youngest of the
children of the late Robert H. Cochran
and his wife Agnes Gilmer Cochran.
She was born at the old home in Long
Cane Township, where she spent her
childhood. About 1905 her father and
p mother moved to Abbeville Her
father died the next year. Shortly
afterwards she and her sister, Miss
Hannah, became type-setters in the
office of The Abbeville Medium,
working for Gen. R. R. Hemphill.
When the Medium was sold to Mr..
Horton and a Linotype installed,
Miss Hannah became the operator,
and she soon developed into an ex-
pert. A little more than five years
ago, when the present owner of the
Press and Banner, took charge of the
paper and installed Linotype, Miss
Carrie was offered the position of
operator which she accepted, and
which she filled until the time of her
last illness In that time she set prac-
tically every line of news matter and
most of the advertisements which
regularly went out to the subscribers
to this paper.
She was not only a skilled operator
of the Linotype, but she became the
chief support of the owner of the
paper. Her knowledge of printing,
her eagerness to serve and her loyalty
to the best interest of those for whom
she labored, as we'll as her sound COM
mon sense made her the chief re-
lance and the most priced adviser in
all matters pertaining to this paper.
Miss Carrie was a member of the
Presbyterian Church She was faithful
in her attendance upon the services of
her church and valuable member of
the Sunday School in which she took
great interest and whose sessions
she rarely missed.
She is survived by the following
brothers and sisters: Messrs. James S.
Cochran, of Abbeville, j. R. Cochran,
of Charlotte, Augustus Cochran, Of
Monroe, Ca, Mrs. W. J. Mckee, of
this county, Mrs. T. F. Black, of
Chicago, and Miss Hannah Cochran,
