The facts in the case as stated by
Mr.. J. B. Tyler, a we'll known lumber

Weeks was working in drug store
at Morgan, Ca, the county seat of
Calhoun county. Tyler, who knew
Weeks, when he lived at Wagner,

store in which. Weeks was working
cne day, not long since and addressed
him by name. Weeks denied that
such was his name, and gave flcti-
tious one.
1t is stated that Weeks several
years ago, while young man and
in the beginning of his career, which
was at that time full of promise,
married Miss Whitlock, daughter
of one of the most prominent men
of Aiken county. He is said to have
practiced his profession of medicine
end lived in happiness with his wife
for a number of years, and during
that time four children were born to
them.
A young milliner from Spartan
burg, came to the town who 1t is
said to have caused an alienation of
the affections of the physician from
his wife and family. He is said to
have left his family, and Joined the
milliner in Spartanburg, where they
went through a marriage ceremony,
in which he used the name of Ham
liLOu. IL Was Miss OulIu "OoolAS

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for Bamberg People to Neglect.

The great danger, of kidney trou-
bles is that they get firm hold be-
fore the sufferer recognizes them.
Health is gradually undermined.
Backache, headache, nervousness.
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease follow in merciless
succession. Don't neglect your kid
neys. Cure the kidneys with the cer-
tain and safe remedy, Doan's Kid
ney Pills, which has cured people
right here in Bamberg.
D. J. Cain, Church St., Bamberg,
S. c., says:
II suffered from kidney trouble
for two or three years and during the
past six months my condition became
quite serious. I often had spells Of
backache which were 80 acute I could
not work. I could not sit down
without first grasping something for
support and then putting my whole
weight on my arms. After lying
down it was impossible for me to get
up without assistance, and I might
say that I was as helpless as child.
The kidney secretions were disorder
ed and at times there was an almost
somplete retention. My condition
was critical and all the doctoring
did brought me but little relief. Re-
Gently I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills, which obtained from the Peo-
pies Drug Co., and I have since felt
80 much better in every way that /
cannot praise the remedy too high
ly."

NEWS AND NOTICES.
A small congregation listened to a
magnificent sermon last Sunday
morning by DR.. S. A. Smith, travelling
agent for the endowment of the
Theological Seminary. The sermon
and the cause he represented were
worthy of much larger hearing
and response than he received from
our people.
The pastor preached at night about
Christ as a man Of prayer; drawing
Q picture of him as such by a group
ing of the occasions and attending in
cidents of his praying. He then
brought out the practical lessons to
be derived therefrom.
Several of our number have been
and are on the sick list, and some
familiar faces have been missed for
some time.
We have many more however, that
are on the Indifferent list. Some of
these would be strangers, if their
faces were as unfamiliar elsewhere
as in the house Of God. These are
the spiritually sick or dead, for whom
we should be more anxious.
Who will join the pastor in earn
est prayer for great spiritual quick
ening and awakening among our
members? Did you ever see a man
or woman become Indifferent about
their church services, that kept up
secret prayer? Did you ever know
one to live a consistent Christian life
that neglected their secret devotions?
Did you ever know of any one who
gave literally and consecratedly to
the Lords cause that didn't pray for
same? Did you ever know any one
that really prayed for his church
and the spread of his Lords king
dom, that wasn't cheerful and regu-
lar contributor to the same?
Prayer is the Christians vital
breath;
It is his native air.
Long as they live should Chris
tians pray;
For only while they pray, they
live"
Are you or / an unburied spiritual
corpse, endangering rather than ex-
ercising saving influence in human
society, by the decaying of our Chris
tian lives? How solemn these words
of our Lord: eye are the salt of the
earth: but il the salt has lost its
saltness,. it is good for nothing but to
be cast out and trodden under the
feet of men,"

Different Countries Regard
ing tho Bow.

In many countries tho rainbow IL
spoken Of a. being great bent pump
or siphon tube, drawing water from
the earth by mechanical means. In
parts OF Russia, In tho Don country,
and also in Moscow and vicinity. It

lent to the bent water-pipe." In
nearly all Glavonic dialects 1t is
known by terms signifying the cloud

pump" "Noah's pump and Gods
pump" The Malayan natives call it
by the same name that they do their
manded water cobra, only that they
add "boba" (meaning double-headed),
the equivalent In our language being
the double-headed water-snake."
They tell you that the bow is a real
thing of life, that 1t drinks with its
two mouths, and that the water Is
transferred to the clouds through an
opening In the upper side Of the cen
tire Of the great arch. In the province
Of Charkav, Russia, the rainbow IL

One Way Of Clearing the Land.

One of our farmer friends from
the Angora district was IN the citv
the first of the week, and told us of
a new method OF clearing the land
OF stumps inaugrrated by him this
season. For years past he says he
has been in the habit of pokine
hole beneath a stump and sticking
in a seed potato, and that this wear
the potatoes grew 80 large that they
acted just like MISUNDERSTANDING
