Pains

DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are
most remarkable remedy for the
relief OF periodic pains, backache,
nervous or sick headache, or anv
OF the distressing aches and pains
that cause women so much suffer
ing.
AS pain is weakening, and leaves
the system in an exhausted condi-
ton, it is wrong to suffer moment
longer than necessary, and you
should take the Anti-Pain Pills on
first indication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may have
entire confidence i'll their effective
ness, as well as in the fact that they
will leave no disagreeablc after-ef-
fects.
They contain no morphine, opium
choral, cocaine or other dangerous
drugs.
For long time have suffered greatly with
spells of backache that seem almost more than J
can endure. These attacks come every month
and last two three days. l have never been
able to get anything that would give me much re-
lief until began the use OF DIR. Miles Anti-pain
Pills and they always relieve in short time

FRAUD IN PENSIONS.
Prosecutions In CoIIeton COunty---SenSa.
tionaI Developments Expected.

AS a result of fraudulent pension
claims filed in Colleton county prosecu-
tions are now pending and one of the
biggest sensations of the year is prom
ised when the truth is known.
From the facts made public by the
chairman of the county pension board
it seems that in 1901 about ahalf dozen
claims for pensions for widows were
filed before the state pension board
The applications had been passed upon
by the county board and thereupon the
state board accepted them. 1t has just
been discovered that all of the claims
are fraudulent and that the affidavits
filed as a result are perjuered.
Comptroller General Jones says that
these claims had been regularly paid
since they were passed upon by the
State and County Boards of 1901 and
the letter states that the investigation
has just started and promises to uncover
some sensational testimony. The par
ties concerned in the fraud will be
brought before the courts by the grand
jury and instructions have been issued
to push the investigation through.

Cherokee and Prohibition.

Speaking of Cherokee and her citizens
to a Ledger representative yesterday
Solicitor Sease, the prosecuting officer
of the new circuit, said: my expert
ence has been that the liquor business
is responsible for a great per cent. of
the criminal cases that come into
Court. l must say that l am favorably
impressed with the condition of affairs
in Cherokee county. believe that you
are going to enforce prohibition and |
am here to testify that | believe it a
good thing from what | have seen.-
Your jurors are unusually intelligent,
and your court house officials will rank
with the best in the State in intelli-
gence and the manne and promptness
with which they dispatch business"
All of which is saying a good deal and
is rather inclined to make a Cherokeean
feel somewhat chesty. Gaffney

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS.
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work in
IaurenS.

Most Laurens people work every day
IN some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly YER a desk-riding
on jolting wagons or cars-doing labo-
rious homework; lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in a hundred
and one other ways. All these strains
tend to year., weaken and injure the
kidneys until they fall behind in their
work of filtering the poisons from the
blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys, put new strength in bad
backs. l.aurens cures prove it.
j.. Ill. Odell, of Factory Hill, Mill
hand, says: 81 have been suffering from
backache for a long while. AT times /
could not work on account of the aching
across the small of my back and the
dull pain gave me no rest day or night.
l could not stand straight and if l sat
for Il bit and attempted to arise L had
to catch hold of something to pull my
self up. The secretions from the kid
neys were very red, full of sediment
and got like a Jelly after they stood for
a while. I could not retain them any
length of time and had to rise often at
night. L tried several highly recon-
mended remedies and used liniments,
but nothing did me any good until / got
a box of Doan's Pills at the Palmetto
Drug Co. and used them according to
directions. They gave relief almost at
once and since using them the kidney
secretions have gotten clear and nat
ural and lido not have to get up at nights
as | used to, while the backache has all
left me
