THE BRINK is NEAR.
FEW STAUNTON PEOPLE KNOW HOW
NEAR IT IS.

Every time you neglect backache, al
low the kidneys to become clogged, 1,
fail to cure urinary disorders, you get
nearer the brink of Bright's s disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills will save you
from danger.
Henry Kline employed as a helper
at the Sbaffer bark mill, and residing
On Main St., Luray Va, says: "There
is no doubt in my nind that I had a
very severe form of kidney trouble. I
had those dull aching pains across my
back and through my kidneys all the
time, and the least bit of lifting would
be torture to me. NV kidney secre.
tions were highly colored and passages
were accompanied with ascalding sen-
sation. The irregularity and weak
ness gave untold annoyance. 1 had
begun to think my case incurable when
a member of my family brought me a
box of Doan s Kidney Pills I bad taken
them only a short time when I realized
that they had worked wonders for me.
l am positively cured, and I take
pleasure IN recommending Doan Is
Kidney Pills for all kidney tr,bls.

Tho Third Term Menace

/ While the leading Republican news
papers of the country are, as a rule
opposed to the denomination of Roose.
velt by the Republican party, there ap
pears to be a systematic campaign 60
ing on throughout the country in favor
of it. Evidences of that campaign are
cropping out in such papers as the
Washington Herald and the Atlanta
Georgian, and in reading matter fur
nished by press bureaus and CORES
pondents to many country papers. The
plan seems to be to build up distinct
| Roosevelt party. something on the Or
der of Mr.. Hearst's Independence
League, which will be able to sandbag
the Republican national convention.
The promoters of this scheme are pro-
ceeding by indirection. Their line of
argument is illustrated by the follow
ing extract from an article in the Wash
ington Herald of June 26, written in
reply to an editorial of the Brooklyn
Eagle:
"Mr. Roosevelt is not engaged in
forcing bis denomination. His atti-
tude is not at all that of candidate for
third term. He has not even coun
tenanced movement for bis renomi-
nation. There is really no such move
ment, at any rate not In an organized
or tangible form. What exists is q
sentiment, or belief. that the Presi-
dent ought to be renominated. What
if this sentiment should dominate the
Republican national convention; what
if the nomination, instead of being
forced by Roosevelt, should be forced
upon him? Would not such an even
tuality put the moral aspect of the
Presidents election night declaration
in an entirely different light from that
in which the Eagle views it The
Eagle has ignored the more probable
contingency for less probable if not
altogether impossible one. There is
vital distinction between the two,"
Such talk as this is appearing con
stantlY in class of papers which have
no claims to leadership in either par
ty. And it is true as the BROOKLYN
Eagle says, that ''it is prob able the
President could force bis own renoml
nation. Nothing could save that from
being recognized as forced proceed
1t would be stigmatized as violation
of his freely and solemnly pledged
word"

Old NeWberry,

The Observer compares old Newberry OF
1858 with the Newberry OF the present time,
and gives some interesting statistics. Among
the new TENS Ia the number Of acres to
each slave'' In 1855, but Our good brother
failed to state the number Of white people
in that year to the acre. Newberryis taxes
in 1858 were $4,000. Last year they were
$4,000. And we might add, II our recollection
is not at fault, that people were in 1858 as sen.
siti We on the subject OF taxes as they are
today.
The observer notes that editors In 1858 were
not entirely different from editors of today In
that they were then the recipients Of surplus
samples ofanythipg from liquors and wines,
TO beautifully burning cigars, and delight
full peaches almost as fresh as the day they
were canned" The practice OF sending edit
ors things to ''tickle their palates" is now
generally limited to rotton potatoes, green
apples and ancient watermellons, which
prominent citizens unload on editors who
are expected to give In exchange big puffs In
their papers, II they survive the cramps.
