Chamoro that he will hold them re-
sponsibie for the damage done to

Maxims of Mark Twain.

Mark Twain selected this one to
adorn the page following the title OF
one of his books:
"These VISIONS are for the Turing
of youth toward higher moral altl-
tudes. The author did not gather
them from practice, but from obser-
yation. To be good is to be noble;
but to show others how to be gooo
is nobler and no trouble
Some of his other maxims read:
"Noise proves nothing. Often men
who has merely laid an egg cackles
as if she had laid an asteroid.'
"Training is everything. The peach
was once bitter almond; caulit1oWer
is nothing but a cabbage with a col
lege education" .
"The autocrat of Russia possesses
more power than any other man IN
the earth; but he can not stop a
sneeze."
Habit is habit, and it Is not to be
flung out of the window by any man

Many a Mother in Bamberg Will Ap.

Many a strong man and many q

during their childhood brought them

healthy men and women. Children
are generally bothered at some period
with incontinence of urine, and In
ability to retain it is oftimes called

the difficulty lies with the kidneys,
and can be readily righted If taken
in the proper way. A BamDerg

Mrs. L. B. Fowler, Bamberg, s. c..
says: my daughter suffered from
weak kidneys for several years due
to an attack of fever. She had but
little control over the kidney secre-
tions and often said that her back
panied her. Another member OF the
family had used Doan's Kidney Pills
several years previous with great
benefit, 80 I finally went to the Peo-

In a few weeks after my daugnter

Malaria g. Fatal Disease.

We are acustomed to look upon
malaria as a disagreeble, persistent
but rarely fatal disease. The facts
do not bear out this impression.
Malaria kills $4,000 people in the
United States every year, and with
one exception is the most severe
scourge of the South. The malaria
bearing mosquito cannot fly great dis
tances; in fact, is not likely to ny
more than 200 yards. Therefore, If
we look to the drainage in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the home, see to
the rain barrels, the pals, tin cans
and other collectors Of rain about
the back premises, we shall probably
prevent the visit Of this unwelcome
guest during the summer.

railroad connections make Denmark

Denmark is a very young town, be-

from it's beginning the citizens have
pulled together and at present we are
enjoying the pleasures that they have

We have three trunk line railroads

Atlantic Coast Line. We are central

not to detract from our growth.
We have two strong banks, both OF
which are doing excellent business.
We are proud of our town, but we
are in need of Improvements.

Accidentally Kills Himself.

Lexington, May 90 -Fank Rikard'
a young white man, accidentally shot
and killed himself at his home about
one mile south of Edmunds, this
county. late yesterday afternoon.
From information gathered, 1t seems
that young Rikard had finished his
work for the day and had gone to
the pond, which is located few hun
dred yards from the house, to spend
the balance of the afternoon fishing,
carving his shotgun with him. He
had not been gone long before his
mother was attracted by the sound OF
a gun. She and younger son went
at once to the scene Upon their ar
rival at the pond they found the
young man lying fiat in the boat gasp
ing for breath. The entire load OF
shot had taken effect in the stomach
making a ghastly wound. He lived
but a few moments, dying without
making a statement.
It is the presumption that the
young man in getting into the boat
slipped and in falling, the gun struck
the side of the boat, causing the dis
charge of the shell.
Young Rikard was about % years
of age and the mainstay of widow
ed mother, his father having died
several months ago. He was well
thought of in the community, and his
untimely taking away has cast a
gloom of sorrow over the entire com
munity.
He is survived by his mother and
several brothers and sisters. His re-
mains will be inferred in the ShealJ
burying ground beside his father to-
morrow morning at 10:30 o'clock.
