Don't Be Misled.

The retail druggists of this country
as class are noted for their high stand
ard of intelligence and honorable deal
ing, but it is a well known fact that oc-
casionally you will find one that will
try to sell you something else when
you call for remedy of established
reputation. He forgets that your
health is more important than his pock-
etbook.
For instance when you ask for DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great Kidney
Liver and Bladder Remedy, don't let
any druggist, drug clerk or storekeep-
er persuade you into buying something
else in its place. Every time he sue
ceeds in selling you worthless substi-
tute he make more profit, but you are
hunmbugged at the expense of your
health.
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable re-
cord maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. From the very beginning, the
proprietors had so much confidence in
it that they invited every one to send
for a free sample bottle so that people
could Judge of its great curative value
in even the most distressing cases of
kidney, liver, and bladder troubles.
On another page of this paper you
will find few of the letters, prompted
by feelings of heartfelt gratitude, that
are constantly coming to DR.. Kilmer &
Company. No one can doubt such sim
cere and honest testimony.

His words are bonds; his
oaths are oracless his heart is
as far from fraud as heaven
from EARTH SHAKESPEARE.
The Legislators are nearing the
homestretch with but little accom-
plished. For three weeks the dead
lock was very serious handicap.

It is encouraging to note that all
of the three white men who were
recently convicted Of murder have
been denied new. trials. We are
glad to see that judges are realizing
that they, as well as jurors, have
an important part in the stamping
out of murder in South Carolina.

Dorchester, Colleton and Fairfield

Dorchester, Colleton and Fairfield
counties are planning to hold cleo
tions in the fall for the purpose of
voting out the dispensary. With
but few exceptions, the people have
thrown the dispensary overheard
when given an opportunity. If the
Dorchester, Eagle, Winnsboro Her
aid and News and Walterboro
Press and Standard will get busy
they can remove the dispensary
from their respective counties. Let's
hear from you, brethren.
A few more convictions of white
men, influential white men, will
very materially reduce the homicide
record in South Carolina. Within
the past ter days three white men,
one each from Union, Aiken, and
Lexington counties, have been found
guilty of murder, and were SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life.
Two of them were wife murderers,
and the public gave a sigh of re-
lief when the fate of the brutes be-
came known. They deserved the
gallows instead of the penitentiary.

Badly Injured,

Special to Times Republican.
Centerville, Aug. 16.-Reason Saums
shot Thomas Whitaker here yesterday
and then killed himself
Whitaker will live, but he suffered a
broken jaw from the bullet from
Saums' gun.
The men had fight, following a
poker game. Whitaker whipped Saums
and the latter was deeply enraged be-
cause of the punishment he received
AS Whitaker approached the board
ing house where both men lived
Saums, who was standing by window
shot at the approaching man and then
turned the gun on himself. The bullet
entered his temple and he died in
stantly.
The men were in love with the
daughter of the landlady of the board
ing house where they lived, and many
think that this rivalry had to do with
the tragedy enacted. The men seemed
to be enemies, and the poker game and
fight in which Whittawer got the best
of it were but added fuel to the flames
of passion.
The attempted murder and suicide
happened at noon yesterday.
Both men worked at the brick yard.

a new petition and a new bond this
week. The present action on the part
Of the land owners Is said to be due to
q recent court decision, wherein il Is
held that no appeal will lie from the
decision of board of supervisors on
the establishment OF drainage district
and engineering drainage project.
AS formerly, the present petition
contemplates the complete diversion Of
the Soldier river, at an expense OF
100000, the diversion to begin in jack
son township and thence southwest six
and six-tenths miles to the juncture Of
Dry Lake and the Missouri river.
The Soldier river drainage district
embraces about 10000 acres of once
productive land, now swampy and sub
ject to inundation from the overflow of
the river. The Soldier river has filled
and abandoned its bed for over three
miles on the Missouri bottoms, and in
many reaches in other localities.
