O, YE OF LITTLE FAITH !

But when an honest man SIS years of
age and who has lived in our city for
thirty years and owns his own property
speaks, we must give ear to his words
and have faith in what he recommends.
For that reason we publish for the ben
eft of Topeka people the statement OF
A. H. West, 211 North street, Saginaw,
Mich, as follows: my back was very
lame; was quite nervous at times, and
my general health was seriously i'm
paired. Some time ago I was induced
to try Morrow's Kid-ne-oids of which I
had heard a great deal, and procured
the remedy. I had not much faith in
it. as I previously had tried a large
number of kidney pills and kidney rem
edies without any particular benefit,
but want to say I got simply wonder
full relief within two days after COM
that am now entirely cured.
Il regard my case as a severe test of
the medicine, as so many others had
failed to help me. My advice to kidney
sufferers is to give Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids a thorough trial and find relief as
I did,
Mr. West had no faith at first, but the
assurance of his friend induced him to
try once again. The result is given
above. Let Mr.. West be your friend
and If you suffer with backache, sleep
lessness, nervousness, etc, take his ad-
vice and use Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and
get cured. Mr.. West is a grateful man
and will be glad to write you how much
he was benefited by the use of Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids, if you will enclose
a stamp for reply He does not con-
found Morrow's Kid-ne-oids with any
kind of kidney pills; they are not pills
at all but Yellow Tablets which are put
up in wooden boxes and sell at so cents.
MOrrOW'S Liver Lax are very small red
pellets and cure constipation: they sell
at 25 cents box. Both of these RENE
dies are for sale by all first class drug
giStS and at Swift &, Holidays drug

MCLACRIN SPEAKS PLAIN
LY.
Objects to Federal Interference
in the Greenwood Case.

United States Senator John l..
McLaurin, who arrived here YES
terday from Washington, on be-
ing interviewed about the recent
election riots in this State said:
"Any interference at this time
on thepart of the federal authori-
ties, in my opinion, would be
most unwise. The excitement at
the seat of trouble has not v ct
calmed, ard any move looking to
interference would only make bad
matters worse. A conservative
course on the part of the admins
tration would be of incalcuiable
value in restoring things to their
right condition. The State ad-
ministrntlon is doing all that is
necessary at this time, and it will
be most unfortunate for the
federal power to take any action.
"Since | have arrived IN Colum-
bia and have heard a full etate-
ment OF the facts of the Green
wood trouble, 1 want to 20 back
to Washington where l am salts
fed, if l can SOC the proper au-
thorities, can make them see the
unwisdom of federal interference.
The people Of Greenwood county
are conservative, quiet and law
abiding, and never would have
adopted such . radical course if
there had not been exaspersting
conditions of long standing.
"The governor is using all the
means in his power to restore
things to their normal condition. "
Senator hcLaurin has taken
rooms at the Columbia and i'm
mediately after bis arrival his
numerous personal friends poured
in to see him.
He will be here but a short
time and will hasten back to
Washington to see what can be
done in the Greenwood matter.

He is about to realize his idea and
has perfected arrangements for
the construction of complete plants
to work seed cotton as a raw ma
terial. 1t is proposed to construct
plants in which the cotton will be
ginned, the seed crushed for oil,
meal and hulls and the cotton
spun and woven. The machinery
for the plants will be assembled

they boarded a train for Charles

what steps they would take, le-

to Charleston where they thought
they would be safer than else
