HANDICAPPED
THIS IS THE CASE WITH MANY
GREENVILLE PEOPLE.

Too many Greenville citizens are
handicapped with a bad back. The
unceasing pain causes constant misery,
making work a burden and STOPPING or
lifting an impossibility, The back
aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff and
lame. Plasters and liniments may give
relief, but cannot reach the cause. To
eliminate the pains and aches you must
cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid
neys and cure them permanently.
The following statement should con
vince every Greenville reader of their
efficiency.

a little tough that country editors have

Correspondents who have made the
rounds Of the most fashionable seaside
resorts Of France write in terms of en-,
thusiasm about the charming costumes
which they had the opportunity to see.
They say that the display of handsome
lingerie costumes is unusually bewit-
ching this season. Many of the hand
soonest frocks show more or less brod,
erie Angaise, Madeira work and cut
out linen, The material may be white
or colored, sheerest linon or heavy lin

A bodice and overskirt or tunic of
broderic AngIaiso over a skirt of plain
stuff or of lace are often seen and some
Of these are not 50 expensive as models
apparently more simple. This is be
cause all over embroidery or deep
flouncing is often used, and though in
fine quality such embroidery is expen-
sive enough, it is by no means 50 ex-
pensive as embroidery done to order on
the frock material.
Excellent effects are obtained by us
ing the real ly made bands of English
eyelet, which come in all widths and
qualities and may be set in between
groups of tucks or bands of lace. There
are eyelet motifs of all kinds too
which may readily be SHAPED into
yokes, oversleeves, etc, and now these
embroideries are marked down to
tempting prices Such embroidery IN
color on white or in white on color is
tremendously effective upon hnes
chambray, etc Lovely robe patterns
in the eyelet embroidery are being
sold at prices far below those asked
at the beginning of the season and are
often so clearly designed that even aH
uninspred scamstress can put them to-
gether.
Scarfs are greatly in vogue and oc.
cupy an important position in the sum
mer outfit of fashionable women. Chif
fon lends itself to an easy adaptation
combining a sufficient body with sup
peness, and offering a wide field of
color from which to choose. Mousse
line de sole, tulle, net and satin are
materials from which summer scarfs
are fashioned with the best success,
while anything that will give color or
decoration to them is sanctioned.
These scarfs may be edged in various
ways There can be a deep border
of embroidery and beads, either trans
parent or wooden From this deep
hem thin line of decoration should
trail up each side for a foot or two
then the graceful and highly favored
fringe can be used in any width
Knotted or straight, it gives a finish
to a scarf that is delightfully."- easy and
very effective.
One of the striking features of the
summer coat is its lining Of soft
foulari in some of the most attractive
designs, it generally contributes to a
striking whole White serge is still
in high favor; oyster gray and tan

ling. Cairo is adding materially to Hi
nois' reputation as riotous state.
Perhaps comment should be with
held until later dispatches tell of the
action of Sheriff Nellis, but if all re-
ports are true, he is a real hero. When
the mob formed he sent out word that
if the rioters attacked the jail, he
would defend it to finish, and that
he would shoot into the mob Despite
this warning the would-be lylchers
stormed the prison, and the sheriff and
his force opened fire.
The spilling Of blood is always to be
deplored. In such case as this there
is possibility of the innocent falling
with the guilty, yet there is no alter
native but to do as Sheriff Nellis did
if the law is to be vindicated.
Let the sheriffs of Illinois follow the
course of Sheriff Nellis in such an
emergency-shoot into the mob If an
attempt is made to batter down jail
doors and remove and lynch prisoners
and lynch-law will soon topple into
its self-made, bloody grave in Illinois.
