Are Your Kidneys Weak? AN-URIC IS WHAT YOU NEED t "I never had anything in my life that helped me like Dr. Pierce's Anuric for weak back and kidney trouble," said Mrs. I.E. Terry of 309 Whaley St., Columbia S. C. (picture above). "At the time I first heard of 'Anuric' 1 was in bad shape—was under the doc- Tor's care. I never knew what it was to be free from pain and distress. Every night I would have to get up several times so that with the pains and the broken rest I was worn out. Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets were recom mended to me and brought quick relief, and as I continued their use my bladder and kidneys grew stronger and the pains in my back left me. I consider 'Anuric' so good that I have no hesitation in recommending it to any one suffering from kidney weakness or backache."

Notice Copyright CHAPTER 28 When Distant Troubles Begin to Draw Near, Be the Same Real or Imaginary, the Participants Grow More Excited. Such were the Par ties to the Drama in 1863. The candy pulling in the Rabbit Bottom was a thing of the past. Phip Flaxen had been released from the bench where the candy ball had stuck him. The party at Baroey Flaxen's had terminated in general excitement. The raid for deserters and runaway negroes was a success in a way. Old Tobe had been cap tured. But Sid, Pope Ganes and Polly had escaped. It is now Novem ber and soon the fatal 13th of De cember will arrive with all the hor rors that imagination can depict. Few people in the Southland went to bed at nights without the fearful thought of that dreadful night which was sure to come. The rolling waves of the mighty ocean can be stopped and caused to lull; the thunders of the tornadoes or the wildest storm will cease; but the coming on of the 13th, which is now but a few more days, will not cease. For the cycles of time grind on and days must needs come and go whether they bring us sorrow or pain. The mind of Dixieland was then immersed in the tangle of imagina tion and real facts; the imagination at the highest pitch on the question of the rising of the negroes on the night of the 13th of December and what horrors they would then wit ness, this, it would seem, was enough, but the facts brought from the front by letter and courier were to the end that there was but little hope for the South in her war for States Rights. It is well, however, that under such conditions the mind can and does find a way of solace. Perhaps not all the fo'ik do but there are those who do, and so it was then. The brave and true were doing all that could be done to stay the hand of destiny, and throw a gleam of hope over the im agination and much in this direction was being done by Annie, Mattie, William Buster and Bill Sniffles and their like all over Dixieland. The former had, after the party at Squire's and the candy pulling at the Rabbit Bottom, arranged to have a sewing party at Col. James Light foot's on Saturday, November 15th. There was great demand now from the seat of war for clothing of all kinds for the soldiers at the front. The bleak winter of 1863-64 was now coming on and the Rebel soldiers in the camps around Richmond and oth er places were destitute of almost everything. This thought aroused the j energy of every one back home. And Annie Lightfoot being fully | posted as to those things, had noti fied all the women in the settlement to come to her father's on that day and that they might at least do some thing to aid the cause and give relief if possible to some of the suffering at the front. Thus engaged the minds of Annie and Mattie were in a way freed from the terrors of the coming of the 13th. For people en gaged in any business that absorbes their thought are always more or less contented and happy. This is clearly true of those who are in love and it was said then that Annie, while she didn't show it, was in love with William Buster and Mat tie was with Bill Sniffles for she did show it. It is strange how the pub lic seem just to know things and per sons. Now as to Annie it seemed to be a guess but as to Mattie there was no mistake but that she loved Bill. For everybody knew it some how and Mattie had a way of show ing it and the folk understood then and they do now, just such persons and things. But in Annie's case it was different, for Aunt Julie said it was. She said that Annie was as sim ple as a child but as wise and prudent as the wisest. And she thought she was "struck on" William, and this was as far as she would say. And Uncle Johney said she might and she mounten not be." And Aunt Julie said he might be right for you can't always judge the aristocracy. They are hard to understand, she said. The crowd had gathered at the Colonel's for the sewing and all the settlement women were there. The work began early and in earnest for the needs were great. Lot of the women who were there had husbands and sons at the front and their hearts were not only in the work but at the front as well. Some were making coats, others caps and still others THE COURIER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER IS, 192S shirts and knitting socks. As the work went on the conversation turned to the subject uppermost in their minds. And Mattie said she felt just like something- was going to happen and that it was going to be good news. There is something within us some -1 how that acts as a kind of a monitor ■and it was called forebodings then jand you can hardly say what it is j called now, but it is that something in us whatever it may be that causes us sometimes to feel just like some thing was going to happen and if we feel cold and kinder chilly about it we think something bad is in store for us and if we feel good and have a lively imagination that something good is going to happen. Things often happen and make us think of the feelings we had and we grow to note these things in our being and when they come on we remark that something is going to happen and it often does. And this is the way Mat tie felt when she remarked that some thing good was going to happen. Now some of these modern so-called smart folk or scientists that teach this evo lution and monkey business say there is nothing in us to cause this feeling and the real scientific cause is be cause we are bilious—liver out of order or have eaten a raw ten penny nail or a peck of rotten peanuts and that causes all our forebodings. Be this as it may we sure do have these kinds of feelings and Mattie did that day and lots of people have those kind of feelings now. Whether it is a telepathy or some other medium that produces the ef fect Mattie had it and it came true in her case. For she had hardly said so, when Charles said, "Miss Mattie, Mr. Sniffles is on the porch and would like to see you." Of course there was a flutter of excitement among the women at the party, for all had heard Mattie say she felt that some thing good was going to happen and all the folk knew nothing could have come to pass that would give Mattie more pleasure than for Bill to come, at such a time and place for it was generally understood that William Buster and Bill were both somewhere in the South mountains looking out for Sid, Pope Ganes and others and why Bill should call so unexpectedly was the thought uppermost in the minds of the ladies within while Mat tie was engaged in conversation with Mr. Sniffles. For women, like other folk, have their curiosity and have a right to, especially when one of their number is called out for consultation by her supposed fiance. For it was now said that those two were en gaged and would soon be married.
