SAW THREE CENTURIES.
Mrs. Ellen DrigGers Died at the Age
of los Years.

Mrs. Ellen Driggers died night before
last az the home of her son, Mr.. John
Driggers, No. 6S4 Walker street. at the
advanced age of 1OS years. Despite her
extreme age she enjoyed very good
health and was able to be about and take
care of herself until about year ago,
when, her health failing her. she came to
Savannah to live with her son.
Mrs. Driggers enjoyed the rare priv-
lege of having lived in three centuries;
she was born in South Carolina the latter
part of The eighteenth, lived through the
nineteenth the greater part of which she
spent in Chatham county, and saw the
first few months of the twentieth.
As Nellie GILL; an orphan child of ten
der years, she came to Savannah in the
early part of the Nineteenth century, and
entered an orphan asylum. She was mar
ried to John Driggers when she was %
years old. and with him went to Bulloch
county. but afterward returned to Chat
ham and lived in the Ogeechee district
until she came to Savannah a year ago
She was the mother of ten children,
three of whom are living, and of these
one already has reached the allotted span
of years, while the other has exceeded
it by 10 years. The children are Mr.. Jor-
dan Driggers, aged So Mrs. Elizabeth
WISE aged 20; and Mr.. John Driggers of
this city, aged 81 Mrs. Driggers lived to
see not only great-grandchildren, but
eat-grandchildre as we'll .
Mrs. Driggers was a member OF the
Baptist Church. Her infirmities conse-
quent upon her great age, prevented her
attending services after she came to Sa-
vannah, but she was frequently visited
by members of the First Baptist Church.
She actually died of old age She fell
asleep Sunday afternoon and never woke
up again, but passed away quietly We'd
nesday night al $50 o'clock. The remains
were taken yesterday morning to Antioch
Church, on the Pine Barren road, about
ten miles from Savannah, where the fun
eral took place yesterday afternoon.

MFyOr Has Not Yet Received a Reply
From the steel King.

No reply to the letter he addressed to Mr..
Andrew Carnegie relative to the establish
ment of a free library in Savannah has
yet been received by Mayor Myers. The
Mayor had heard nothing from Mr.. Car
negie at late hour last night, but it is
presumed that an answer from the phil
anthropist multi-millionaire will be re-
ceived soon.
A letter, ordinarily, should have been
received yesterday, as that from the
Mayor to Mr. Carnegie was mailed last
Saturday night Unless some delay in
the mails affected the Mayors letter or
Mr.. Carnegie's reply, word from the phil
anthropist should have been received.
The dispatches in the Morning News
yesterday that gave accounts of further
munificent gifts of Mr.. Carnegie were
read with especial interest by Savannah
ians because of his understood offer for
the establishment of a library here. A
sense of the generosity of the Steel King
has been contributed by his reported fav-
orable consideration of the request for his
aid for Savannah.

No word has yet come from Col. Asa
Bird Gardiner about the coffin plate and
buttons that he carried to New York
with him after finding the bodies of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene and his son. George
Washington Greene. The Savannah men,
bers of the committee have been expect
ing to hear from the colonel, and they
think 1t cannot now be long before some
word Is received.
Interest centers in the judgment of the
coffin plate and buttons that may be
given by Gen. Di Cesnola, director of
the Metropolitan Museum, whose expert
opinion was desired by Col. Gardiner
The latter was absolutely certain in his
own mind that the search had proven
successful and that the remains settled
upon as those of Gen. Greene and his
son, were without question. those for
which the committee looked, but he want
ed the confirmation of Gen. Dl Cesnola
to make assurance doubly sure Col
Gardiner promised to let the Savann-
ahians know as soon as Gen. Di Ces-
nola's Judgment was secured.

Mrs. E. Harry, living near Mineral

completeness with which they produc-

small amount of the medicine required
to cause that effect. During the sum-
mer and fall of 1897 and winter of
1898 ran down physically and my
back was never free from heavy dull
pain which made me miserable.
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Will
l.. Sargent's drug store and they cured
the attack. Any preparation which
acts up to the claims made for 1t de.
serves the endorsation of the public
and will only be too pleased when an
opportunity occurs to make this fact
known Doan's Kidney Pills is such a
medicine.

Pills most valuable aid for dispelling
aching pains through the kidneys.
There was 4 time when l had very
bad back and as Ottumwa is somewhat
billy this made, it hard for me to get
around and even walking little fast
caused the pains in my loins to become
excruciating for the time being. This
was my condition for at least several
years. Doan's Kidney Pills which 1
procured at Will L. Sargent's drug
store was the first medicine that ever
gave me real and lasting relief. have
been subjected to exactly the same
conditions but my back has not hurt
me since using them. 1 have told my

Doan's Kidney Pills are, and will con-
tinue to do so, for l know the user of
them will not be disappointed in Sc
curing the expected results"

operate most effectively, l mean what
|. say, and l base my opinion on the
following experience: l had slight
headache and other symptoms of eth
err weakened or overtaxed kidneys.
Thinking that Doan's Kidney Pills
might relieve me, l procured box at
Will L. Sargent's drug store in the
Hoffman, block. They did exactly as
l wanted. Let me add this popularity
about Doan's Kidney Pills: They do
not affect the bowels, are pleasant to
take, leave no bad effects or cause no
reaction. This of itself when COM
pared with other preparations is of
considerable Importance to the aver
