II have no reason to change my
opinions about Doan's Kidney
Pills, expressed in our Parkers-

painful while they lasted. AL
though I took the best of care of
myself, I was unable to get rid of
the trouble until 1 used Doan's
Kidney Pills. Four boxes cured
me, and l felt no indication of a

OGEECHEE GIVES UP VICTIM
ROBBERS AND MURDERFRS At
WORK IN BRYAN COUNTY.
Many Deeds OF Violence Have Oc-
CURED at the River During
the Past Few Months

The body of an unknown white man
has been found in the Ogeechee river
near Way Station, Is miles from Sa-
vannah. The appearance of the body
indicated that it had been in the
water for a long time
The extreme state of dissolution to
which the body had gone prevented
any accurate description being obtain
ed of how the man looked in life.
The only description that could be
given by those who saw the body was
that it had on an OvercOat and was
seemingly well dressed. The fact
that the body wore an OvercOat
prompted those who found it to be-
lieve that it had been in the water a
couple Of months.
FOUND BY A NEGRO.
The body was found by Paul Jones,
a negro, about hundred yards from
the main river, up little creek,
through which Jones was going in
search for some hogs in an adjacent
marsh. The body when found was
half out of the water, seeming to have
been brought up by the tide and left
against some bushes. An inquest
was held over the body and it was
buried near the spot where it was
found. No evidence which would
throw any light on the manner Of the
death of the unknown, or identity of
the person, was found.
This is the second body that has
been found in practically the same
place in the river within a short space
of time The last one found there
was thought for a time to have been
that of Mr. d. G.. Clark until an in
vestigation disproved the theory.
MANY DEEDS OF VIOLENCE.
These things and many mysterious
disappearance and deeds of violence
that have happened between Bur
rOugh's station and Way station in
recent years, and even within the last
few months, have created the impress
sion in the minds of the people living
that there is an organized
band of thieves and murders who way
lay persons, killing them and making
away with their bodies after rObbing
them. The district spoken of is
known as one of the most dangerous
in the state.

MANY PEARS KILLED.
Much Tiny Fruit Dead on the

Much Ilny FRUIT Deau on the
Trees in This Section.
From the Albany Herald.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that tens of thousands of young
LeConte pears Of the 1905 crop have
died on the trees, drying up and turn
ing black before falling off.
After towering, the trees seemed to
contain an unusually prolific crop of
young fruit. The branches were close
ly filled, and the indications were all
that could have been desired.
But in a short time much of the
young fruit-probably more than half
began to shrivel finally becoming
quite black and falling off. The fruit
remaining on the trees appears to be
quite healthy and vigorous, and is
growing at a rapid rate.
Just what has caused this early dis
aster to the pear crop is not easy to
guess. We experienced no cold
weather after the buds first appeared
conditions of weather being ideal.
But the fact remains that tens of
thousands of the young pears have
fallen off
