TRUTH TRIUMPHS.
Sumter Citizens Testify for the Pub
lie Benefit.

A truthful statement of a Sumter
citizen. given in his own words,
should convince the most skepticaI
about the merits of Doan's Kidney
Pills. If you suffer from backache,
nervousness. sleeplessness, urinary
disorders or any form of kidney ills,
the cure is at hand. Read this:
e. w. Vogel, S. Main St., Sumter,
s. c.. says: II had severe pains in
the small of my back for several
years and whenever I attempted to
stoop. my suffering was intensified
My back became very weak and on
several occasions I was forced to give
up my work. My family physician
treated me without giving me any re-
lief from the awful pains in my back
and I then tried every known remedy
on the market but still failed to be
benefited. 1 at last read a testimO-
nial regarding Doan's Kidney Pills
and was SO much impressed that
procured a box of this remedy at
Chinas drug store. After taking the
contents l was restored to good
health and for that reason heartily
recommend DOan's' Kidney Pills."

Instead of coffee the workman takes
his can of beer. 1t is no unusual
thing to see "Dago" at midday emp

ner pail and send the pail for
"shillun' of beer. They seem to
thrive on the ration for they are the
huskiest set Of fellows one ever saw
and the dirtiest. And so it is all over
the North; whiskey is not considered
"the thing" to drink and consequent
ly proportionately less Is used. The
New York State law is that all bars
shall be closed on Sunday. Sometime
ago In neighboring village 1 saw on
the closed door of the "hotel" bar the
