A SILENT, UNSEEN FOE.

Beware the hidden foe. the unseen
danger.
The most insidious disease that mah
kind has to fear is that which attacks
the kidneys. 1t comes on so silently,
gains ground so rapidly. is so destruc-
tive. that thousands are lost who might
have been saved in the beginning.
And yet. like any other human i'll,
kidney sickness gives early warnings OF
its presence. and these danger signals
are quite easy to detect. Neglect. not
ignorance. is usually the fatal error,
Signs OF kidney trouble come either
through the back or from the bladder;
in backache. or some irregularity of
the urine.
Pain in the back. dull and heavy, or
sharp and acute. tells you of sick kid
neys and warn you of the danger of
dropsy. diabetes or Bright's disease.
Too frequent passages of urine. thin.
pale and foamy urine, or a thick. red.
nl-smelIing urine. fun of sediment. and
scanty or painful of passage. tell you
of serious trouble in the kidneys.
Don't neglect the early kidney troubles.
Cure them while they are easy to cure,
and IT will save life of suffering. Use

Senator Tillman.

Charlotte News.
The News and Observer has this to
say regarding the stand taken by
Senator Tillman:
"The world respects all honest par
tisan, even if he is frank to bluntness.
Senator Tillman is respected more
than every democrat in America who
has 'genu-aected in Washington to
got White House favor"
We are constrained to agree with
Editor Daniels in the above. 1t is
eternally true that the world has lit
tie use for the mealy-mouthed favor
seeker. It is equally true that the
world still holds at high premium
sincerity and honesty, even if it be
clothed in garb, uncouth and des-
titutc Of polish and gloss.
SENATOR Tillman has been, abused.
All manner Of evil and harsh things
have been showered upon him, which
concerned him little. No doubt he
makes blundcrs. Who does not7
There is however, al unassumed
frankness and candid honesty about
the senior Senator from South Caro-
lima that carries with it force and con
viction.
Senator Tillman S recent stand on
some of the most important bills un-
der consideration has won for him the
respect and admiration, not only of
the people, but of his crstwhile enemy,
Mr.. Roosevelt. g..

holds in the eyes. of thinking people

Though Joel Chaldler Harris Un-

Fort Mill Times. i; 'R ...,
#5 The foes of Senator Tillmam and
the anti -dispensaryites over the State
are becoming more and more pclplex-
ed in the selection from their forces
Of man who would stand show at
beating the senator in his race next
fall. Already a number of probable
candidates have been spoken Of, and
at least two have intimatcd a wiling
ness to run, such intimation being
,sandwiched, however, with the usual
H'ifs, lands" and "provisos so
dear to the prospective candidate, who
doubts his ability to defeat his oppon-
Ont. .- -y, - . :
- Among those most favorably spo-
ken of for the race is the Hon. Geo.
Bt Cromer, of Newberry. The writer
knows little of Mr.. Cromer's past po-
litical career, if lie has any, but learns
that he is one of the champions Of the
force engaged in the present fight
against Senator Tilllnan. He would,
perhaps, make fairly good start i'll
the race, and, with the aid Of an cx-
ira long-sighted microscope, get in
near enough TO see the hoisting of the
wool-hat colors at the finish.
Then, on. the list Of probables is
Mr.. f. D. Smith, the popular presi-
dent of the South Carolina Cotton
association. Mr.. Smith has not yet
signified his intention Of entering the
race, and. it is not believed that he
will, for such step would not only
mean overwhelming defeat for him,
but a sacrifice of the popularity which
he now enjoys as president of an as
sociation in which Senator Tillman s
supporters are numbered high up in
the thousands. . .:
Last, and perhaps least, so far as
his chances of winning are concern
ed, is the Hon. John T.. McLaurin--
"Curly-Headed Johnny''-who, as
everyone believed, was snugly tucked
away in the political denth-robe by
Senator Tillman a few years ago.
Mr.. McLaurin, according to reports,
expresses Willingness to enter the
race, provided a.sutlicient number de-
sire that he should. This number he
will probably place at figure so high
as to give him ample room to discard
tho propositions. 1t is safe to add,
however, that should the former sena-
tor decide to take snatch at Till
mans scalp, he would do so from the
blind side, and when it was all over
would discover that he hadn't even
touched hair.

"Do you remember his appearance

"Yes, indeedy. He was kinder

and mustache and spectacles. Mos
generally he wore high hat; but I sc
