BLOCKADHD
Every Household In Newberry Should
Know How to Resist It.

The back aches because the kidneys
are blockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots Of proof that Doau's Kidney Pills
do this.
It's the best proof, for it comes from
Newbcrry.
Sam Martin, employed at the New
berry Mills, says: my back ached for
three or four years, and the pain right
across the small of my back was at times
80 bad that / could not work. thought
IT was rheumatism and was trying all
kinds OF linimcnt and rheumatic cures
until l noticed brickdust sediment in
the secretions and noticed their un-
natural appearance, when l came to
the conclusion that it must be nv kid
neys which caused the trouble, but the
remedies | used did not help me. Seeing
nu advertisement about Doan's Kidney
Pills | went to w. T.. Pelham g. Sons
drug store and got q box. | felt bet
ter tie first day used them and since
taking them all the pain in my back
has left me, the kidney secretions
cleared up and the sediment disap.

Letter to w. w. Hodges, Ncwberry, S. C.


Dear Sir: A gallon saved is 81 or SIS
earned. Devoe saves 2 or gallons in
10. How much it is worth a gallon?
A gallon saved saves the painting too; !;
and both together cost 81 or $5-$1
where labor is cheap; SIS where labor is
dear.
Our agents in Bridgeport, Conn, Hub
bell q Wade Co, tell us: 'There are a
great many workingmcn' houses here.
They used to paint lead-and- oil and take
ten gallons. We have been selling them
ten gallons Devoe lead-and-zinc, and
have had, in every instance, two gal
Ions returned" The proportion is often
higher than that; we have known it
five in ten; but that is exceptional.
This is the explanation: Devoe is
ground by machinery, and is ground
fine; lead-and-oil is mixed by hand, and
isn't ground at ALL

WILL PAY MORE FOR THE sARvIcE.
Mr.. Burr authorizes the state
ment that the amounts given in the
list above as now being paid carriers
on these star routes do not indicate
the limit; that the government is
willing to pay more for the service
under the new arrangement which
is proposed.
WILL. IMPROVE THE SERVICE.
This arrangements will have the
effect practically of converting the
star routes in the county into rural
routes.
The rural routes are infinitely
superior to the star routes and this
superiority is recognized by the
people of the rural districts, who
desire the rural routes. The ar
rangement proposed above, how
ever, will materially improve the
service on the star routes and will
be long steps towards converting
the star routes into rural routes,
and is, therefore, to be commended.
THH ROUTES FROM s1lGHs.
Petitions are now pending asking
that the rural routes from Slighs,
which are now in operation only
three times week, be made daily.
This matter has been called to the
attention Of Congressman Aiken,
and the petitions were forwarded
through him. Mr.. Aiken has given
his assurance that the matter will
be pressed and that he has no doubt
that the petitions will be granted
as soon as they come up in their
regular turn.
NEW ROUTES FROM NEwBERRY.
Petitions are also pending asking
for two new routes from Newberry
one to serve the Beth Eden section
and the other to serve the Utopia
section. This matter is also re-
ceiving the personal attention O
Congressman Aiken, who has writ
ten the government several time.
and in reply has received prom
ise from the department that 6
special agent will be detailed at al
early date to go over every route
in the county now in operation and
proposed. Mr.. Aiken has no doubt
that as soon as this agent is de-
tailed and makes his report thtt all
the petitions now pending from
this county will be granted. The
government has advised him, how
ever, that there are a number of
petitions ahead Of those from New
berry, and that it is the rule of the
department to take up such mat
terS in the order Of filing.
The county needs the proposed
new rural routes and it wants the
present star routes converted into
rural routes. Until these new,
routes and changes may be secured,
however, the change in the service
OH the present star routes, will
as proposed by the government
very materially improve their eff
cheney.

STAR MAIL ROUTES.
GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CONTRACTS OUT

Star Routes TO Be Practically Converted
Into Rural Routes-Newberry Wants
Rnral Mail Routes.


the Second Assistant Postmaster
General, was in Newberry this
week III the interest Of better ser
vice Oh the star mail routes of the
county.
1t has been the custom hereto
fore for the contracts for carrying
the mail On these star routes to be
bid in by spectators in various
parts of the country, who in turn
sub-let the contracts to persons liv-
ing in the territory through which
the routes are operated. These
spectators have been able to make
extremely low bids for the reason
that they were certain some one
could be found to whom they could
sub-let the contract at a lower fig
ire. Private individuals, for this
reason, have been unable to COM
pete with these spectators.
Mr.. Burr has prepared a list of
the star routes in Newberry county,
giving the amount of bond required,
the pay for the service now received
by the contractors, and the pay
which these contractorsin in turn allow
the sub-contractors, who actually
perform the service. This list is as
follows:
Star route No. 20, 800, Maybin-
ton to Shelton: Bond, $500; present
contract pay, $1o7.65; sub-contract
pay. $1oo.
Star route No. 20, 1901, Glymph-
vile, by Craven Hill and Walton,
to Peak: Bond, $500; present con-
tract pay, $224.62; sub-contract
pay, $2oo.
Star route No. 1902, Little
Mountain to Rightwell: Bond, $500;
present contract pay, $1o5. AZ; sub.
contract pay, $86.o7.
Star route No. 20, 3o3, Riverside
by Julia and Utopia, to Newberry
Bond, s. 900; present contract pay
$258. 7o; sub-contract pay not known
by the government.
Star route No. 20, 3o4, Mudlic by
Vaughanville to Chappells: Bond
$500; present contract pay, $780,.
81; sub-contract pay, $2o7.23.
Star route No. 2o,314, Higgins
Ferry to Silver Street: Bond, $500;
this is new route and the contract
has not yet been awarded.
Now, in the interest of better
service, and in order that persons
living i'll the locality through which
the mail routes run, and who will
personally perform the service, or
personally supervise it's perform
ance, may receive the contract direct
from the government, and therefore
the full amount which the govern
ment agrees to pay for this service,
Mr.. Burr, representing the Second
Assistant Postmaster General
authorizes the following statement:
Proposals will be received at the
office Of the Second Assistant Post
master General, postoffice depart
ment, until d p. III. of December I,
for carrying mails on routes named
above from July I, 1904, to June
80, 1908; decisions to be announced
Oh or before February I, 1904.
No bid will be considered unless
the person bidding lives on or con-
tiguous to the route, and unless he
agrees, in the event he is awarded
the contract, that he will give his
personal supervision to the per-
formance of the service.
In addition to carrying the mails
to the various postoffices carriers
will be reu11ired TO deliver mail into

RAILROAD Commission Acts.

The state railroad commission
has promulgated its through class
rates for shipments of merchandise
over two lines of railroad not I'M
der one management. About two
years ago the commission made
joint rates on through shipments,
but the supreme court of the Unit
ed States upheld the decision of the
lower court in which an injunction
was granted preventing the commits
sion from enforcing the rates. At
the last session of the legislature
an act was passed charging the
powers Of the commission, giving it
authority to make such joint rates.
1t Is claimed the joint rates are
from 10 to Is per cent lower than
the old rates \ copy of the cireu-
lar will be mailed by the commits

Negroes Fight on Train.

A desperate fight took place on a
Cotton Belt passenger train near
Stamps. In the negro coach was a
negro who claimed to be a private
detective, commissioned to carry a
pistol. He got into an argument
with another negro and pulled his
gun. The other negro pulled a ra-
zor and slashed the alleged detect
ives face, then grabbed his gun.
which was discharged in the seuf-
file. At this juncture Conductor
Thompson was attracted by the af-
fair. As he attempted to enter the
car he saw that all the occupants Of
it were held at bay by the second
negro, who was brandishing the re
yolyer and razor. One negress was
screaming that she was shot.
Thompson Immediately stopped the
train and the negro with the weap-
ons jumped off and took up a po-
sition behind a wood pile. As it was
impossible to arrest him without
the danger Of loss of life, he was
not pursued. The alleged negro
detective was badly wounded.
