Willing to Pay the Price.

1t is encouraging to see that such
a large number of young men are
willing to endure hardship in order
TO secure an education, especially
when so many young men fail to i'm
prove the opportunity of attending
college offered them by their parents.
OF the 400 young men who are at
tending Furman University, about 40
are without adequate means TO pay
their gay and are working their way
through college. These young men
realize how seriously handicapped
they will be without an education and,
are willing to-pay the price, even TO

Sunday Afternoon
Insurers Plague Weather

Sunshine brought relief to many
this morning but to none was it as
welcome as to M. NJ. Calhoun, gov
eminent weather reporter, who wear
lily signs now when it begins to rain.
For since wagering on rain insurance
became the favorite indoor sport for
those with the speculative instinct, a
rainy day means endless measure
ments and frequent trips to the rain
guage. Yesterday Mr.. Calhoun de-
clares that his telephone never ceas-
ed to ring for more than ten minutes
t a time. Hello, will you please tell
me whether it rained one-tenth of
an inch between ten. and IL o'clock??"
was the stock query. Practically all
insured for one-tenth of n inch
but some chose different hours. Dur
ing. the whole day, the rainfall
amounted to 81 of an inch, and if the
insurers chose the right hours, they
Those who have no businesses to
continue to "borrow" a bust
ness for the sake Of insuring it. It's
great game, this sport Of gambling
with Jupiter Pluvius, and sometimes,
if the insurer picks out the right day
and the right hours and the right min
imum amount of rain, he may win;
Pluvius is something of a
sport himself.-Greenwood Index.

Dial VS.. Harding and Tolbert.

It appears that President Harding
is determined to force Joe Tolbert
upon the people as marshal of the
Western District of South Carolina,
having, in addition to giving him a
recess appointment, twice sent his
name to the senate for confirmation.
We are pleased to see however, that
Senator Dial, with the same determi-
nation that the French held the Ger
mans back at Verdun, IS holding up
his confirmation by the senate, with
ont which confirmation Tolbert can
not be commissioned.
Senator Dial charges that Tolbert
although the ranking member of the
Republican national executive COM
mittee, is unworthy of serving the
people as marshal, having been con-
victed of embezzlement in the Unit
ed States courts. Thus far, although
given an opportunity to do so, Toll
bert has not appeared before the ju-
dietary committee of the Senate to
answer the charges.
Senator Dial is being commended
for his fearless and %unrelenting fight
upon Tolbert, and in no other county
In the state will his efforts along this
line be mor highly appreciated than
right here in Edgefeld, which county
has suffered at the hands of the Toll
berts in the past more than any other
county in the State.

Priceless Christmas Present.

There are Christmas presents and
Christmas presents. But of all the
tangible Christmas gifts that can be
enumerated where can n be found
that would bring more joy to the
heart of a father or mother than such
a letter as the one published below?
When it was shown to us by u good
friend, Robert H. Parks, we at once
requested the privilege of publishing
it, for two reasons. Harrison Parks
deserves to have his Edgeield friends
know something of the large and en-
during place he has made for HIM
self in Columbia, coming especially
as it does not from him but from one
of Columbia's foremost citizens, such.
as the author Of the letter, and then
we desired to publish it as a stimulus
to other boys to emulate the example
of this very worthy Edgefield boy.
Mr.. W. H. Hand is superintendent of
the public schools of the city of Co.

My dear Sir:
1 am taking this method Of making
your acquaintance, and at the same
time sending you a Christmas present
which l feel sure you will be pleased
to have.
For a little more than three years
your son, Harrison, has had a DON in
my home. I have watched him rather
closely, and my final opinion is that
for integrity, steadiness and clean liv-
ing he stands high. 1 am confident
that others hold him in the same es-
TEEN. His life I.feel sur will con-
+n;ha+e-npoh-to-the-jey of Your ma
ture years. I congratulate you.
Very truly,

Are You Rheumatic?
Many Pangs That Pass for Rheuma

Kidneys

Is it rheumatism?
Not every pain is.
Weak kidneys let uric acid col
lect.
Uric acid causes many queer
pains.
In the thigh it's sciatica;
In the back, lumbago;
In the nerves, neuritis.
Gout, gravel, dropsy are uric
troubles.

The home-recommended remedy.
McConnelsville testimony is the
best proof.
