Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney TrOu-
Bile and Never Suspect It.

Il used to be considered that only urin-
airy and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys, but now modern
science proves that nearly all diseases
have their beginning in the disorder of
these most important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected, and
how every organ seems to fail to do
its duty.
If you are sick or feel badly begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kill
mer's Swamp Root because as soon
your kidneys begin to get better they will
help all the other organs to health. A
trial will convince anyone.

CANDIDATES WAIT
UPON COMMITTEE.
Sumter's Army Still Await
ing Action.
BUNCH TO ENTER TRACK THEN.
Sumter Executive Committee viii
Call Primary After The State Com
mittee Acts. State Committee Viii
Meet Early Next Week.

Like prancing steeds, eager to try
their speed upon the track, the racers
and dark horses in Sumter are champ
ing the bit while awaiting the signal to
start. And this signal is going to cause
some surprises when the entries upon
the racecourse are made.
Just now the candidates are waiting
upon the county committee.
They desire that the date of the
county primary be fixed ere they an
nounce their candidacy, and the coun-
ty committee will not act in the premi-
ses until the state committee meets.
The state committee will assemble in
Atlanta next Monday, and when the
date of the state primary is settled
then ''the boys at home" will get busy.
Not that they are idle now by any
means, for in no other county in the
state are they hustling more.
This is especially true of legislative
aspirants and those who want county
offices, to say nothing of the half dozen
who would take appointive places v ere
they rendered.
The legislative race is going to he
interesting little later on.
While there are but two avowed sena
torial asplrants, half dozen will prob
ably offer for the two places in the
lower house. Aspirants in town and
county alike will be in the field and
already these would-be statesmen are
quietly feeling the public pulse.
How the candidates for county Off
GERS Will line up remains to be seen,
and that very shortly.
All the present able and very eff
cient officers will stand for reelection,
and as all are very capable and popu.
lar and, as rule, serving their first
terms, will make very strong race.
But there may be others who will con-
test with them for places at the pri
mary.
The action of the county committee
in calling the primary will clear the
atmosphere considerably.

There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded it as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put it's
finger on the cause" of Dandruff, Fall

has unearthed tiny germ which eats
