TWICE-TOLD TESTIMONY.
Orangeburg People Are Doing All
They Can for Fellow Sufferers.

Orangeburg testimony has been
published to prove the merit Of
Doan's Kidney Pills to others in Lr-
angeburg who suffer from bad backs
and kidney ills. Let any sufferers
doubt that the cures made by Doan' S
Kidney Pills are thorough and last
ing, we produce confirmed proof
statements from Orangeburg people
saying that the cures they told of
years ago were permanent. Here 5
an Orangeburg case:
]. H. Pearson, carpenter, 62 Sellers
street, Orangeburg, S. c., says: Il
used Doan's Kidney Pills several
years ago with such good results
that l publicly recommend them.
At this. time l am pleased to say that
l still hold the same high opinion
of them as I believe they are the
best kidney remedy to be had"

He advises any farmer who has
. small seeding trees to bud them
from a known variety, as it is ad-
mitted to be a very rare instance
where a pecan tree will bear true to
| the nut planted.
Just a word about the financial
part CT this venture. If the Pc
canway Place" pecan will bring 80
cents to 35 cents per pound, us they
did last season, although under Or
NAL size, it is reasonable to predic
that when this orchard is in full
bearing tilth, the proceeds will be
enough to at least defray the yearly
living expenses of an ordinary Or
augsburg family, and if not, surely
$64 net profit per acre from 15 acres
of asparagus grown on the little
farm ought tc keep the wolfe from
the door, especially when enough
corn, oats and hay is also made to
keep in good condition seven head
of mules and horses and a goodly
NUM- uDeT VI mugs.
AS an after thought, but quite
important, Mr.. Dantzler also used his
spraying outfit to good advantage
on his apple trees using a self-boiled
lime mixture); and on the 100 bunch
grape vines here growing to perfec-
ton.
Mr.. Dantzler is most intelligent
and estimable gentleman, and not
withstanding the drawbacks encoun-
tered, he is enthusiastic about his
venture and if it can be made a
success, he is the man to do it.
Therefore if any Of the readers OF
The Times and Democrat contem-
plate going into pecan raising as a
business, confidently refer them to
CAPTAIN Dantzler, who will impart
the information he has and gladly
put them in the right path leading
to success.
One word more. This farm of
ABOUT 100 acres, bought in 1900 for
$4,000, could no doubt be sold to-
day, even if denuded of everything
of value put upon it by Mr. Dantzler,
save, perhaps, the fertilization, for
from $4,000 to $4,000, while the
home and farm as they stand today
represent to their owner avalue of
perhaps $4,000.

ler for the information which assist
ed me so greatly in the preparation
of this article and for the work done
by him directly in it's construction,

BOWMAN NEWS.
Indian Field Campmeeting One Of
the Best Vet Held.

Bowman, Oct. 6.-Special: Indian
Field Campmeeting near st. George.
which was held last week, was we'll
represented by Bowman folks, some
of whom were tenters on this famous
old ground. Nearly the entire pop
ulation below Bowman were also
itenters or visitors, many looking
forward to it with keen interest from
year to year. The social feature is
the drawing card nowadays. The
behavior was unusually good, COM
pared with that of last year, and
those in authority are to be con-
graduated on handling such large
crowd with so little friction. Very
little sign of liquor drinking was
seen at any time. Social chat and
promenading was pleasantly engaged
in during the interum of religious
services.
Presiding Elder Smith had his
hands full, there being % of the
clergy present at one time, or anoth-
er during the meeting. Some did
not preach at all, while others did
double duty. Rev. Samuel Danner
was present and with Rev. Mr.. Tay-
lor, as assistant, led in the song
service. Mr.. Danner preached sew
eral times also, to the delight of his
many friends in this section. Rev.
G. W. Davis filled the pulpit, preach
ing at II a. m. Sunday. This is
usually the "big gun" sermon at
Campmeeting. Mr.. Davis gun was
we'll loaded and his aim well taken,
and the mark we'll spattered with
shot. His sermon was good, "all
round" one, his subject being the
Christian Race
Bowman and vicinity was visited
yeaterday evening by thunder storm
of unusual severity for this season
of the year. 1t reminded one Of an
evening in July or August. Carrier
No. reported hail on his route,
with the thunder storm Of such sever
ity that he was forced to stop for
an hour. Carrier No. 8, o. P. Evans,
Tested a motor cycle on his route
yesterday, and Notwithstanding an
intermission by rain, he came in
ahead of all the carriers, bringing
in eight money orders, ito boot.
Mr.. ]. Peter Cook, accompanied by
his son-in-law, Mr.. C. E. Ayers, re-
turned last week from visit to
Florida prospecting for the purchase
of a place out there. They did not
seem to be much struck" with what
they saw, and will wisely remain in
old Orangeburg county while long
er.
A quantity of fine hay has been
harvested in this section during the
past several weeks. The weather has
been unusually favorable for this
kind of work for some time, and
rush work has been the order of
the day in this line of produce.

". B. West,
Dispensary Auditor.

The Woman's Foreign Mission
ary Society of st. Paul's Methodist
Episcopal church, South, of Orange
burg, S. c., at its meeting last
Friday afternoon, decided to observe
Thursday, October Ii, 1909, as
Labor Day in their society That
means that the members will give
the days work for the benefit OF
the cause of missions. The mem
bers may do any work most con-
venient to them, as sewing, making
pickles, preserves, ETC., the proceeds
of the work to be placed in the
treasury toward raising the S119
pledged by our auxiliary (outside
of the regular dues, etc. for the
support of our own missionaries.
Should anything serious prevent any
of the members from observing the
day appointed, another day conve-
nient TO them may be substituted
during the month. Reports Of the
DAYS labor to be made at next meet
ing, first Friday in November, at
the parsonage. Should it be i'm
possible to raise money by working
for it, self-denial or something OF
that sort may be resorted to.
1t is hoped that all members will
enter into this movement heartily,
and that a neat sum will be realized
by the society in this way.

Refuses to Endorse Claim.

The county board of commission
ers met at the Supervisors Office
on Monday. That whole day and
part of the next was taken up in
passing on claims, important among
which was that of DR.. Sturkie, who
was elected attorney of the board OF
commissioners, but whom Super
visior Fielder refused to recognize as
his attorney, he having retained
Messrs. Brantl-y II Ieigler il that
capacity. The board approved Dr.
Sturkies claim for services AT at
torney as heretofore, but the super
visor again refused to sign the claim.
Dr.. Sturkey will in all probability
take legal steps to recover, but what
action he will pursue is not known
at this time.

man may be visiting friends some
where in the country, and will turn
