After reading the public state
ment of this representative citizen
of Dillon given below, you must
come to this conclusion: A remedy
which cured years ago, which has
kept the kidneys in good health
since, can be relied upon to per-
form the same work in other cases.
Read this:
w. A. McCormac, Calhoune ST.,
Dillon, S. c., says: My back was
very lame and often after sitting for
a while, / could hardly get up. 1
finally decided that my trouble
came from my kidneys. as the kid
ney SecretionS were unnatural and
contained sediment. Nothing gave
me the least relief until l began US
inc Doan's Kidney Pills. They
stopped the backache and strength
ened my kidneys. Now when l go
to bed i can get my proper rest and
my condition has improved in every
way. / am pleased to give this ac-
count of my experience for the bene-
fit of other kidney sufferers.
statement given in March 19OSD
Lasting Effect.
On January 3, 1911. when Mr..
McCormac was interviewed, he said:
Il can recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills more highly to-day than
did two years ago, for l have been
entirely free from kidney trouble
since that time. My cure is a per-
manent one"

Wounded Sister-in-Law.
Besides killing his wife and her
father Hyde also shot his young
sister-in-law, who was in bed with
Mrs. Hyde. He says that was pure
ly unintentional that he saw some
body in bed, but that did
wife's sister. He said he paid no
attention whatever to the other
person in the bed, that he came
with the intention of shooting his
wife and that it must have been
stray bullets that hit her sister He
says he greatly deplores her
wounds, and is glad to know that
she is recovering from them. Hyde's
little child has been taken to an
infirmary in Columbia.
Several Murder Cases
There are two of three other
cases of more than usual interest
L come up at the approaching
term of court which will be pre-
sided over by Judge Prince, of this
city. Ben Lumpford, colored, is
TO be tried for killing his wife's
niece; John Harris, colored, is to
be tried for killing his wife: Jim
Mattison is to be tried for killing
another negro over a dispute about
five cents in a crap game and sew
eral other similar cases. The
term lasts but one week, and there
are sufficient Jail cases to keep
the court busy for that length of
time, not to mention the cases of
those out on bond and those con
tinued from the last term of court.
The approaching term of General
Sessions promises to be quite inter
esting and no doubt large crowds
will be in attendance.
