Greatest in the WORLD.

Arlington, Ind, Dec. 5.--(Special)-
MIR. w. A. Hysong, the photographer,
who moved here recently from Sapp,
Ky. is firmly OF the opinion THAI
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the greatest
Kidney Remedy the world has ever
known.
"In the years 1901 and 1902" says
Mr.. Hysong. "and for some time before
] was afflicted with Kidney Trouble.
MY joints were sore and stiff and | fin
silly got SO bad | could not urn in bed
without assistance. In the spring Of
1903 l was induced, by a friend, to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and after using
one and one-half boxes I was and am
still completely cured. Several of my
n~eighbors, too, used Dodd's Kidney
Pills and in every case they did as
recommended"

Remarkable Hoistino.

Mines and Minerals: At the DeBeers
mine, in Kimberly, some very remark
able work has been done In the hoist
ing line, establishing a wonderful rec
ord in the way of capacity for hoist
ing from a single shaft. The hoisting
engine consists Of a pair of vertical,
tandem, compound, c~ondensing engines,
operating with 100 pounds of steam,
hosting from the 1,200-foot level, maxi
ing a total lift of about 1850 feet. Two
automatic dumping skips, five by three
and six feet deep, are used, each weigh
ing 4,400 pounds and holding 5000
pounds of rock. The skip is loaded at
the bottom by tipples worked from the
chute by a hand lever, and the rapidity
OF handling is shown by the fact that
as high as ~ninety-two trips have been
made In one hour. On one occasion
during a. single shift Of eleven hours
ana ~forty-three minutes, the weight Of
rock hoisted was 3 1855 tons. or at the
rate8ef 400 tons In tWenty-four hours

COTTON BLIGHT AT cATcRALL.
aslr. K. 3. liobley Has Secured a Blight
Proof Gotten.

CaEchall, Aug. I3.-I write this to
tell the readers Of your paper about
the cotton blight which We have been
having around here for the last few
years. and which is becoming serious.
If other farmers are troubled with it.
we would be glad to know what they
think Of it.
I have lost two crops of okra which,
withers away just IS the cotton does
when blighted.
Mr.. e. G. Lee has lost considerable
in the last eight years. He sent some
cotton stalks TO Clemson to be examin-
ed. and see If they knew any remedy
for the blight. He has tried differ
ent ways but found no remedy yet.
By chance or by lnck, saw an ad-
Eersisement last year of some cotton
seed and decided TO give them a
trial. So far it has been success.
4 planted it where I had okra last
year. I also planted okra near it.
The okra has died, but sbe cotton is
fine and is something of curiosity.
The stalks and leaves are a redish,
brown color. I have only one-tenth Of
an acre planted, but have had $50
offered for it. / gave Mr.. Lee few
OF the new seed and he planted them
where his other cotton dies with the
blight.
The new seed was success with
him also.
Yours truly,

The CAMPAIGN MEETING.
& Small Crowd Hear the candidates Talk
at Privateer.

Tie first of the Series Of county
campaign meetings ordered by the Ex-

der, were present and they were pre-
vented from attending by business that
called them cut Of the state.
The crowd of voters present was
estimated at about one hundred.
The candidates for county. officers
confined their remarks mainly to
announcing their candidacy, interlard-
sed with jokes and few boquets for
the people Of PriVateer.
The Legislative candidates spoke at
somewhat greater length. and in reply
to questions from the crowd, discussed
the Brice dispensary bill, which ap-
peaFs TO be developing as an issue in
the campaign. The bi.ennial session
amendment to the constitution, which
is 50 be voted on at the approaching
election, vas alluded to by one or
swo OF the speakers, nut was not gen.
eraliy discussed.
TIE meeting was quiet and une-
yentfnl,as all Sumter county campaign
meetings have been in recent years.
The only excitement of the day was
caused By a personal difficulty be-
tween two OF Che spectators. but they
were promptly separated. and the tenn
perary furry of excitement sobsided.

instantly killed. The driver, Lum

either one escaped death is mystery
which no one can explain, although

ANNULL|Ne 4 MARRIAGE.
Grounds of Judge KIugh's Decision
in the Case ofthe Recent Mar
riage of Minors in Green
Vile.

Geenville. Aug. 13.-"If the de-
fendant, Curry, were old enough to
know better and [ had the power to
prescribe such condition, I should
require MS prosecution as prerequi-
site to granting the prayer Of the COM
plainant, in the hope that the example
might have lasting and salutary
effect, as was said in the N. B. to
Findlay's case, Bay, 421. These
affairs are happily not of frequent
occurrence in our State, but they oc-
cur often enough, and the evil result
ing is so grave as to warrant the invl-
tation Of the full power of the law as
a preventive. -
These are the words used by Circuit
Judge G. G. Klugh in letter ad-
dressed to j. j. McSwain, of this
city, accompanying his decree declar-
ing the marriage of Herbert L. Curry
and Miss Katbeline Sansome which
was performed by Magistrate McBee
several days ago, to be uttery null
and void.
The decree annulling the marriage
was purely formal and simply sets
out the legal grounds upon which
Judge Klugh reaches his decision as
to the illegality of the marriage con-
tract. The first and principal reason
for annulment is the existence Of a
psnal statute making it crime to
wed q woman under 16 years Of age
without first obtaining the consent of
her parents or lawful guardian. I'm
der several decisions this is construed
to be prohibitory in its effect and to
prevent by implication the perform
ance Of such contract.
The other point on which Judge
Klugh's decision rests is the extreme
youth of Miss Sansome, who it was
announced in the pleadings, was too
young to realize the true significance
of the ceremony and could not have
made valid contract. This was al
legged in the complaint and admitted
in the answer.
The action of Judge Klugh doubt
less means an end Of the entire affair,
for the proceedings were carried
through by consent Of all parties and
an appeal is improbable.
