Lever, The Wide-a-Wake
Congressman.


The Washington correspondent Of
the Charleston News and Courier has
the following to say anent our below
ed young congressman:
"Mr. Lever, the wide-awake Con-
gresham from the 7th district, was
busy in everything that was going on.
Soon after the session began he start
ed the ball rolling for the passage of
the. Appalachian reserve bill, and
never faltered until it was found that
he could not succeed this year. In
addition to this Mr.. Lever, as men,
Der of the House committee on agri-
culture, devoted several months OF
the session to the work of that COM
mittee and the results of such work
are already we'll known. It was also
due to Mr.. Lever that Secretary Will
son and Congressman Scott recently
visited Sumter, and the result of that
ViSlU Is sure w "OIh W SouUu SdAO
lina's good in the end.
During the time the agricultural ap-
preparation bill was under discussion
in the lower house Mr.. Lever made
several able speeches, and was warm
ly praised not only by his Democratic
colleagues, but many Republican
members also.
In the fight for public building at
Columbia, Sumter and Orangeburg,
all of which are in Mr.. Levers dis
trict, he was entirely successful.
Orangeburg got $4,000, Sumter $40,
600 over previous authorizations, and
it is probable that thorough inves-
tigation of the needs of the Columbia
office will be made before the next
session of congress.

The Fair Girl Graduate.

She stands today in cap and gown,
Full stored with wisdom's lore,
Within her pretty maiden head
Of knowledge a great store.
She sees before her career,
Far from frivolty;
To make her mark upon the world,
Determined Willis she.
She stands upon the rostrum there,
Her essay in her hand,
And looking from her learned heights
She cannot understand
Why women cannot serious views
Take Of the higher life,
And see nobler fate there is,
Than courted as wife.
But, ah, but few short weeks elapse
And what, then, do we see?
This same maid, in her fluffy gowns,
A belle down by the sea.
And as the men will press about,
Each eager for her hand,
Well see that maid Of high ideals
Just firt to beat the band!

No Need Of Suffering
From Rheumatism

1t is mistake to allow rheumatism
to become chronic, as the pain can al
ways be relieved, and in most cases a
cure effected by applying Chamberlain, S
Pain Balm. The relief from pain which
it affords is alone worth many times its
cost. 1t makes sleep and rest possible.
Even in cases of long standing this lin
inent should be used on account OF the
relief which it affords. 25 and 80 cent

Thousands
 of Girls
 and Women
Need the Same Tonic Treat. ment Which Brought Health
 to Miss Van de Wort.

Women who become pale and lose weight and ambition and are subject to headaches and fainting spells, need such tonic as Dr Williams Pink Pills.
 The case of Miss Genevieye Van De Vort, of Darien Center, Genesee Co.,, N. Y, is so similar to that of thous- ands all over the country that her cure by Dr Williams Pink Pills should lead every suffering girl and woman to try this tonic treatment. She says:
 "I suffered for about four years with female trouble, beginning when l was sixteen years old. could not eat or di- gest much food for it seemed to dry up in my stomach and l was constipated. l had such sick headaches that l could not see and dizzy spells which often caused me to faint away. At critical times 1 would be deathly sick for four or five days, having to go to. bed, and my heart would beat so fast that l could hardly breathe. My kidneys were affected and my back ached a great deal. My complexion became yellow and ugly rash broke out over my face. There were sharp pains in my right leg and foot, my limbs be- came numb, and my hands were useless for a long time on this account. My hands and legs were icy cold and l be- came so nervous and weak that the least exertion tired me out. My usual weight is 14O pounds, but l was run down to 122 pounds My blood was turning to water and l thought l was going to die. .
 "The doctors treatment did not cure me and after having tried several other medicines, I began to take Dr Will liams' Pink Pills. A few boxes helped me and 1 continued until cured. They built up my whole system, gained in flesh and strength and am now entire ly we'll. l feel like new person and think that Dr Williams Pink Pills saved my life.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills have no equal as tonic as hundreds of cures in cases similar to Miss Van De Vort's prove.
 Our booklet, "Plain Talks to Wom- en" gives other cases cured by the pills and much valuable information for women. It is sent free upon request.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box six boxes S2.50, by the Dr Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
