KEEP THE KIDNEYS WE'LL.
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some
Sumter People Know How to Save
1t.

Many Sumter people take their
lives In their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are respon-
sble for a vast amount Of suffering
and Ill health, but there is no need to
suffer nor to remain In danger when
all diseases and aches and pains due
to weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a Sum-
ter citizens recommendation.
Mrs. Willie Bultman, S E. Calhoun

Doan's Kidney Pills to be an excellent
remedy. My back ached for some
time and I was in almost constant mis-
cry. I finally saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised. procured a box at China s
Drug Store and used them. They re-
lteNed the pain in my loins and
strengthened my back and I have not
been troubled since. I gladly recon-
mend Doans Kidney Pills."

ROADS CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
EXPECT FAVORABLE DECISION
IN RATE ADVANCE CASE.
President Brown, of New York Cen
tral Lines, Witness Yesterday Be-
bore Interstate Commerce Com
Observation-Disclosures Proposed GEN
cral Advance In Rates Necessary to
Produce Fair Return OH Invest
mentS.

Washington, Oct. 14-President w.
c. Brown, of the New York Central
lines, was on the witness stand
throughout the day, in the investi-
cation being conducted by the IN
ter-State commerce commission into
the proposed advance in freight
rates in the Eastern trunk line ter
ritory. With the conclusion of Presi-
dent Browns testimony, before ad-
iournment this evening, the case of
the railroads practically was com
plete, although j. G. Stewart vice
president, in charge of the oper-
ations of the Erie Railroad, yet is to
be heard.
Under the law, it is incumbent up
on the railroads to make a prima
facie case of the reasonableness of
any proposed general advance in
rates considered by the commission.
Through the testimony of President
James McCrea, of the Pennsylvania
system; President Daniel Willard, Of
the Baltimore and Ohio, and Presi-
dent w. G. Brown, of the New York
Central lines, coupled with the ex-
hibits of statistics and statements of
operating officials, heretofore sub
mitted in evidence, the railroad Of
fical expressed confidence that they
have established their case.
President Browns testimony today
frankly set out the industrial and
financial operations Of the lines un-
der his direction. He was cross-ex-
amined particularly as to the finan-
cial operations of the roads, and ad-
hered closely to his view that they
were entitled to a fair return upon
the investment in the properties-a
return that would enable them to
meet the extraordinary expenditures,
TO which they had been subjected,
In addition to maintenance Of their
charges.
The presidents OF the three great
American railway systems maintain
that 1t is not only the ambition of
the railway officials, but the desire
OF the American travelling and ship
ping public that the railways Of the
United States should continue to be
the best in the world. In order to
maintain this admitted prestige fol
America, 1t is the opinion Of Presi-
dent Brown. as expressed at the
hearing that the freight income Of
the roads should be greater than it
Is at present. He pointed out that
the development Of great railway
systems Is not merely a matter of
national pride or personal ambition,
but a pressing necessity upon the
country, as part Of its industrial
and financial progress.

LAND FRAUD INDICTMENTS,
LAND OFFICE ANNOUNCES NEW
SET OF CHARGES.
Said TO be as Important as Cunning
ham Cases, Made Notorious by
Ballinger Controversy.

Washington, Oct. 14.-After
months of secret effort and patient
waiting, the officials of the general
land office were able to announce to-
day the indictment of a number of
claimants to valuable coal lands in
Alaska. The entries involved num-
Der l54 and cover almost $4,000
acres of land, all of which lies in
the Bering strait district, in which
the Cunningham districts are located.
They are what is known as the Eng
land and Stracey or the Christopher
Simmonds groups, the former con-
tanning so and the latter "a claims
of 16O acres each. The deposits COW
cred by these claims are believed to
be as rich as those of the Cunning
ham mines which cut a conspicuous
figure in the Ballinger- -Pinchot con-
troversy.
The indictments were handed
down in the United States district
court sitting at Tacoma, Wash, and
the information that they had been
returned was conveyed in two tele-
grams received today by Commits
sioner bennett from Special Agent
Christensen, in charge of Alaskan
matters, to whose efforts the findings
are especially due.
The first message contained the
announcement of the action against
the English group and stated that
indictments had been returned
against c. F. Munday, A. H. Stracey,
Archie w. Shields and E. E. Sieg-
ley. few mintues later came the
second telegram telling of the in
dictments Of Cornelius Christopher,
George Simmonds and Mortimer c..
Sweeney of the second group. He
added that warrants would be is
! sued as soon as the indicted men
could be apprehended.
The first group of defendants
takes its name from the fact that
number of people in western Canada
are supposed to be interested in the
claims taken up by this party. Stra-
cey, one of the men indicted is a
resident Of Vancouver and Is charg-
ed with being instrumental in MAX
ing some Of the locations. Munday
is a prominent attorney in Seattle.
The charges against the indict-
ment is that the entries were made
In the names of dummies"
Most Of the entrymen were resi-
dents of Washington and their claims
are saio 20 have been located with
an agreement that the claims should
be assigned to third parties as soon
as such parties were willing to be-
come interested could be found by
the locator. There is said to have
been further understanding that
the locator should receive large
percentage Of sale price.
The charge differs from the charge
made in the Cunningham claims in
which there was no allegations that
the entrymen took the claims for
persons other than themselves, but
rather that they had a previous
agreement to work or dispose of
their claims as a unit
1t Is said that very few of the
claimants in the new cases ever saw
the land on which their names were
for locations.
Both groups of claims figured to
a considerable extent in connection
with the Balinger- PinchOt inquiry.
