Concerning Advice.

It is not to be denied that the fav-
orite indoor and outdoor sport OF the
great majority of the human race is
giving and seeking advice. Partlcu,
iarly giving, for it is more blessed
to give advice than to receive 1t. :,
Why we should be so eager to tell
our fellow-creatures just exactly how
thew should act under certain cir
cumstances, is one of the mysteries
of vanity that nobody can explain.
Certainly ,ry few of US think that
we have N our own affairs so sue
cessfully, and have exhibited always
such unerring judgment that we have
qualified to pose as oracles.
Nevertheless, we do not hesitate
to Law down the law to those about
us. we have never been able to make
more than the barest living ourselves,
but we feel perfectly competent to
advise anybody about how to invest
money. We know nothing whatever
about medicine or the vagaries of
the human system, yet we advise
people to take drugs of whose prop
critics we are totally ignorant, for all
ments that we have not the ability to
diagnose.
Men and women who have never
had anything but an airdale pup or
a canary bird, tell you exactly how:to
raise your children, and if you try to
make garden or build house, you

Pounding for Edisto Academy

To the Baptists of Edgefield Asso-
ciation:
The Aiken and Lexington and
Edgefeld associations are to give a
pounding to our child, the Edisto
Academy, this coming Thanksgiving.
l am, as trustee of that school, ask
ing that every Baptist in the Edge
field association take a part in this
pounding. The Horns Creek and
Edgefeld churches of which I am pas
tor are entering heartily and in a
beautiful way into this plan. And
they. will send tons rather than
pounds. The plan with these two
churches is to bring in two or three
pounds of things like lard, sugar, cof-
fee, meal, potatoes, meat, syrup,
fiour-anything that will be of help
to this noble institution and their no
BILE teachers in meeting the expenses
for running the school. Worthy in
deed is the cause for which you are
asked to give this pounding. If all of
us could but go to Edisto and see the
great work that is being done with
the los boys and girls who are there,
we would count it all JOY to give
literally in this pounding.
In His name and for the great
cause of Christian education among
our young people there, let US do our
best.
Let every church get together and
select a home where they can take
the stuff they give, and then pack
it and ship it to Rev. w. H. Canada,

The first lyceum number of the
season was presented in the school
auditorium on Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Melton, the flyceum manager said
that the audience was a splendid one,

Our People Buying Less.

The great slump in freight ship
ment the past few days indicates that
our people are buying less: One OF

freight from the cars told The Ad-
vertiser's representative a few days
ago that ode people amt gittin' moth.

much better it would have been had
our people bought less and saved
some of the money that they have
been squandering on high living for
the past few years. Had they been
thrifty and frugal when prosperity
and plenty prevailed, they could now
put their cotton under the shed and
say to the world, it is not for sale
now and will not be till a fair price

Congress Should Provide for

Now that the political campaign is

no matter how good his health, may

ssAll state aid is based on local tax
|ation. During the last IL months
upward of 1000 districts have voted
local levies or have increased exist
ing levies. The large increase in the
high school appropriation and in the
Eequalizing appropriation is asked in
order to cooperate with these local
districts.

Tpropriations for the operation and

THIRD BATH MOST WELCOME
Plunge in EIisha's Spring Necessary
to Remove Traces Of Jordan
and the Dead Sea.

The Jericho region Is supplied with
three kinds Of water, and this prodi-
galtty, coupled with the historic fame
of the Jordan valley, has furnished a
regular formula of bathing for pilgrims
to this hot depression, nearly a quarter
OF mile below the level Of the sea.
OF course. every tourist has to battle
In the Dead sea; 1t is the thing to do.
Lucky is the man whose skin does not
crack in the heat of the valley, for
Dead sea water on cracked skin or
the film of the eye reminds one OF
boiling oil and the Spanish. inquisition.
Having performed the necessary
rite and dutlfully completed an expe-
rience which can be recorded in the
diary of the trip, the poor pilgrim,
laved with a tenacious fluid that seems
to be composed of salt, kerosene and
I've, drives off to the Jordan and seeks
relief In the muddy water of that river.
Then, as night rapidly settles in the
deepest wrinkle on the face Of Mother
Earth, the tired traveller rides between
the miserable novels which constitute
modern Jericho and dismounts at the
Sultan's spring, once sweetened by
Elisha.
Here the water is collected in
large pool, both cold and clear and
few resist the temptation to plunge
into it and remove forever any linger
ing signs Of the ho4y but muddy waters
of the Jordan.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody Will
Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur fol
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded, or streaked ap-
pearance this simple mixture was APP
piled with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom Ill.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with coated tongue foul breath or a
dull headache; or if your meals sour
and ferment, you have real surprise
awaiting you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink a glass of hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
your stomach, liver, kidneys, and thir-
ty feet of intestines all the indigest-
ible waste, poisons, sour bile and tox-
ms, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal
Thos subject to headaches, back
aches, bilious attacks, constipation or
stomach trouble, are urged to get a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store and begin enjoy
ing this morning inside bath.
Just as hot water and soap cleanse.
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.

CITY CONSTRUCTED IN TIERS
Threa Distinct Layers Of Humanity
Make Up the Great Eastern
Port Of Honqkonq.

Hongkong is built in three stories
after the fashion of Chinese pagoda,
there, however, the resemblance to q
temple ends. For Hongkong is a
mecca of trade, q stronghold of Anglo
Saxon society and a packing box in
which Chinese and other varieties of
orientals are squeezed so tightly that
they seem perpetually out Of breath,
and used to 1t.
This three-layer system of municipal
architecture, which should be an ex-
tremely lucky arrangement according
to Chinese superstition, is made pos
sihle by hillside rising near the har-
Dor. Up this hillside the city seems
to have backed steadily until it
reached the crest, where it stopped
without attempting to progress down
the other side.
There is no elevator from one floor
OF Hongkong to the next, but the cable
car which shoots up and down the hill
furnishes sensation which is con-
sidered by most people very reminis-
SShe VI .CicNdtVt journeys ldhcn III
American sky-scrapers.
Hongkong Is really three cities. The
first story, being the closest to the
harbor. is conveniently given over to
commerce. The second floor houses
the natives, conglomeration of ORR
entails, mainly Chinese, who all seem
to be In the streets all the time.
The top floor is reserved for for
eign residents. 1t Is altogether sue
cesSful as a suburb of the business
port. partly because 1t has no compe-
tition and partly because of its obvi-
GUS advantages. The name Hongkong
does not suggest rose-cOvered cottages,
but these are the accepted style Of resi-
dence in upper Hongkong. When he
can live on the mountain top. 1900 feet
above the crowded harbor. the for
eigner does so and gladly takes the
chances of having his brains added or
his head knocked off in the perilous
journey ito town."
