If people with symptoms of kid

their danger they would without loss
of time commence taking Foley's

stops the pain and the irregularities,
sstMngthens and builds these organs
and there is no danger of Bright's

Another Assault Case In Georgetown
Co.?-MoOdy Correspondent Disputed.

Harpers, July lS:--Iour scribe
has been asked By the manager Of
Z the Spring Gully baseball team. to
. correct the statement made by your
s Moody correspondent in reference to
;, game If ball played between Spring
Gully and Choppee, Your CORE,
spondcnt stated that the game was
between Moody and Choppee. ! am
not concerned, but am asked to make
the statement by Mr. c X Feagin,
manager of the Spring Gully team.
am glad to report fine rains all
over this part of the lower section Of
Williamsburg county.
1t has been reported here that an
other assault was committed on a
young lady from Georgetown at
Murrell's Inlet but a few miles from
where a similar crime occurred only
about 30 DAYS ago by the negro ,Jen-
kins, who will be tried and SEN
fenced Oh July q. 1t seems that
our law. makers will have to devise
some other kind of punishment be-
sides hanging before this crime will
ever stop. What will our people DO
to protect our loved ones from the
vengeance of these negro brutes:
This awful crime has become more
frequent and is now right at home
almost every week.
On last Tuesday, the 18th inst,
the prohibition element gave picnic
here and had several speakers present
who made addresses on the subject
of prohibition. But am sorry to
say that we saw quite number of
men here that day who were under
the influence of whisky. This is a
shame to our community. 1t seems
that some people intend to hang on
to their rum if they lose their lives
and sacrifice their families and all
self respect. We hope to see things
Indifferent after August II.

a second game with the 500 club. The

The Donkey on the Stace,

Its curious" said thea atrical man ager who had experienced many ups and downs, how the stage develops tealousies. I once had show on the road in which it was necessary to make use of a horse and donkey We got the animals well trained for their parts, and on the opening night they gave a first class performance. On the following night, however, we were unable to get the donkey to move out of the wings. Prince, the horse, went on without any trouble whatever, but Jack-that was the name of the donkey-could neither be coaxed nor driven out before the footlights. We finally had to go on with the perform ance with the donkey left out After the show was over we got together and tried to find out what had been the mstter. Nobody could offer an ex- plapatjoG until one of the stage hands happened to pick up program, which showed that Princes name was print ed in the same kind of type we used for Jack. We got new lot of pro- grams the next day with the donkey's name printed in type which was near ly twice as big as that which we used tor the horse. After that we never had the slightest trouble. ."-Chicago Record Herald.
