DR.. John E. White of Anderson
brought home from Atlanta the other
day story that Deacon HemphIl
alone can quite fully SAVIOR. Having
an afternoon in Atlanta free, DR..
White went out for round on the
links, there encountering old friends,
Epps Brown, president of the South
ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
company, and John Brice, business
manager of the Atlanta Journal.
"Glad to see you, gentlemen" DR..
White said; "I've been told that if
you see business man playing golf
on Monday it is sign he didn't play

JUDGES AND LAW.

The Press and Banner is pretty
severe on Justice Clark of the United
States Supreme court for his criti-
cism of the 18th amendment in a
speech at the annual dinner of the
New York Law school.
So, judges may be criticised some
times. 1t will say, though, that this
was an "obiter dictum;" but what
the Judge said was no less influential
on that account-it was an encour-
agement to bootleggers and all that
gang.
For our part, we like to see the
courts and the laws respected; but
there's no divinity that hedges a
Judge, or a king either.-Newberry
Observer.
There must be a distinction made
between the decisions of the court
and speeches of Judges.

Hot Springs, Ark. May 23.--
Meeting half an hour earlier than

conference here Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South raced

been in progress for about a year
and in its completion has attained in
beauty and commodiousness to all
that its friends hoped for it. The
officers of the Mill take pleasure in
the fact that the plans were made
and the building supervised by an
Abbsville boy, James c. Henphill.
The dedication of this building
is a notable event in the history of
the mill and of Abbevile and those
who have the interest Of the mill
at heart look forward with high
hope to the great good which this
center of culture, moral uplift and
pleasure will be to the community.
Mr.. H. A. Hatch, MIR. C. n. MILL
ken and Mr.. W. E. Winchester
came down from New York to be
present for the opening Of the
building. Mr.. G. H. Milliken is a
son of Mr.. S. M. Milliken and the
naming Of the building and the tri-
butte paid his father was a touching
surprise to the son.
The decorations Tuesday night
were of unusual beauty and good
taste. The pot plants Of the village
we're loaned for the occasion and
the artistic arrangement of the
rooms was due to the good taste Of
Mr.. A. o. Roche. One plant in par
ticular created much comment and
was new to the visitors. This was
Crown of Thorns a plant Of the
cactus family.
The supper was served by Miss
Inez Ward, who has had charge of
the welfare work for the past year.

A COUNTY FAIR
Abbeville County Needs a County
Fair.

Aopeviile county Needs Sounty
Fair.
Realizing the value and advantage
to the farmers and to the County Of
a County Fair, it has occurred to me
that it is a great loss to Abbeville
County not to have a County Fair.
Agriculture is the most noble
work of man and it is the foundation
Of the prosperity of Abbeville Coun-
ty. Today, agriculture is going thru
a decided change and many people
will suffer financial losses by not u.s.
ing common sense and sound busi-
ness judgment in rearranging their
farming operations. A County Fair
will play an important part in assist
ing the farmers to make these
changes.
The County Fair is also the show
window to the prosperity of the
county. There is no other means by
which the farm products can be dis
played to the very best advantage.
I have mentioned the problem to
several of the very best business men
and farmers of Abbeville County and
in every instance, I have met with
hearty response and offers of assist
iance.. We can have this fair if you
so desire and are willing to help put
it across. Abbeville County has the
material to put on one of the best
fairs in South Carolina and by prop
er methods of advertisement can be
made one of the leading counties in
South Carolina. Why not begin on
this and have a County Fair to be
held in Abbeville County at the
County seat during the month Of
September.
In my estimation a county fair,
should perform the object for which
it was originally planned and that
object is to display the farm products
at an advantage to the county and
should not be a carnival and horse
race.
Please take this matter into very
serious consideration and after you
have thought about it, it is probable
that we will call meeting to dis
cuss this matter and put the Fair
through.

FEW MORE DAYS
FOR TAXPAYERS
Extension for 1921 to Expire the
lst Of June

lst of June
Nine more days remain for South
Carolinians to pay their state and
county taxes for 1921 without execu-
tions being made up. Under the
terms of the joint resolution passed
at the last session of the legislature
extending the time for paying 1921
taxes, executions are to be made up
after June l, but are to be held by
the county treasurer until Septem-
her !, when they will be turned over
to the sheriff.
An eight per cent. penalty goes in
to effect the morning of June l.
From June l until September l the
taxpayer, who has not already paid
his taxes, can meet his obligation by
paying the eight per cent. penalty
and thus escape a visit of the sheriff.
A considerable amotnt of 1921
taxes is still due.

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
TO cure, states a well-known authority
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty cf good water
Rheumatism is direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
bsorbed into the blood. 1t is the
junction Of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accumulating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventually set
ting in the joints and muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu-
natism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
ful in glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal
action, thus Kidding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu>>
matism. Here you have a pleasant,
ettervescent lithia-water drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
fetal to your kidneys as well.
