The Proof Is In Bamberg Almost at
Your Door.

The public statement Of a Bamberg
citizen is in itself strong proof for
Bamberg people, but confirmation
strengthens the evidence.
Here is Bamberg citizen who tes-
titled years ago that Doan's Kidney
Pills relieved sick kidueys and now,
states the cure was permanent. Can
any sufferer from kidney Ills ask bet
ter proof? You can investigate. The
case is right at home.
J. C. Utsey, Main & Church Sts.,
Bamberg, S. c., says: 81 am glad to
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills for
I consider them a reliable kidney
medicine. For several years had
kidney trouble, the pains in the small
of my back being almost unbeara BILE.
I used several kinds of medicine, but
nothing gave me relief until got
Doan's Kidney Pills from the Peoples
Drug Co. do not believe this prep
aration can be equaled in curing kid

REIMBURSEMENT.
On January 26, 1911, Mr.. Utsey
was interviewed and he added to the
above: "You may continue to use

in their praise. My cure has been

Body Found in Hog Pen.

Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 16.-
Nearly covered with mire and badly
disfigured, the dead body of Bud
Toothman, desperate and gun fight
er, was found among a drove of hogs
at the home of George Maxwell, Toll
Gate, w. Va. The swine were root
ing and wallowing the body in the
mud, trying to devour it.
The mysterious death of Toothman
was explained by the covering Max
we'll and his family, who were hid
ing in a cornfeld. Saturday night
they received a scrawly letter from
Toothman, telling them he was tired
of their presence and was coming to
drive them away. Sunday night the
father and mother fled to the corn
field and two sons, armed with shot
guns, remained on guard.
Toothman hurled a bowlder
through the door and was entering
when both guns were discharged
pointblank at him. His body, it is
said, was then thrown to the hogs,
and the frightened sons, fearful Of
what his friends would do, Joined
their parents in the field, where they
were found. The boys have not been
arrested, however, and Sympathy is
with them.

He Didn't Mind.

The little boy was carrying home
the empty bowl that had contained
his fathers dinner, when a big bully
appeared.
"Do you mind if I kick that bowl?"
inquired the bully.
mot a bit," replied the small boy.
"You mean that? Do you mind if
/ kick the bowl?"
"Not a bit"
"For the last time. Do you mind
if I kick the bowl?"
"No. I should like you to-
ooh, would you? Then watch
me-" exclaimed the bully as he shat
tered the bowl to atoms.
"Do you mind now?"
mot bit," replied the small boy,
edging away. "My mother borrowed
the bowl from your mother this
morning. You'll hear all about it
when you get home!"-Barnesville

in Greenville and taking life easy.
He would make a strong showing in
the Piedmont section of the State.
A. F. Lever will make dangerous
candidate for them all and it is said
that he wants the place. He has
made a hardworking congressman
and has secured results. He is an
excellent stump speaker and strong
man personally. That he will be in
the race is practically certain.
Howard B. Carlisle, of Spartan
burg, a well known attorney and a
member of the State senate, may Of
fer his services. He is we'll known
and liked in the Piedmont section OF
the State.
There is still another rumor to the
effect that John Gary Evans, former
governor and defeated candidate for
the senate, will try to come back. He
is practicing law in Spartanburg. He
is said to be seriously considering the
question.
Should Senator Tillman retire the
present governor of the State will
undoubtedly be candidate for his
position.
Another piece of political gossip
is to the effect that F. H. Weston and
Mendel L. Smith will be candidates
for attorney general.
This brings in another strong pos
sibility for the United States senate,
J. Fraser Lyon. He has made most
excellent record as attorney general
of South Carolina. He has made a
success of his work and has done
everything that he promised the
people of South Carolina. He has
never given an intimation as to
whether he will offer for the senate.
He would make a most acceptable
senator and has many friends who
would warmly support his candidacy.

MILLIONS OF DEAD SHRIMP.
Fish and Shrimp Killed by 100000
Gallons Of MOlasSeS.

New Orleans, Sept. 14.-Dead
shrimp by the million and fish by the
thousands are floating about on the
waters of Lake Pontchartrain, near
the bulkheads at the entrance of the
new basin as a result of a diet OF
molasses, which found it's way into
the lake from the city sewers when
100000 gallons were recently let
loose in the streets when a storage
tank burst. The molasses contained
about 21z per cent. potash to the
gallon. Unless the tides carry the
dead fish away, it is predicted that
the odor will be so great that the
residents will be forced to move

RUINED BY DRINK.

Woman who Led Colorado Popnlists
Dies in Poverty.
A special dispatch from Denver,
Co.., says:
Mrs. Helen F. Dixon, maker Of
governors" and for years successful
manipulation of the political cam
paigns of the Populist parity, was
found dead early to-day in one
room hovel, where she had evidently
died as the result Of want and drink.
Mrs. Dixon was a woman of mark
ed talent and ability and her prom
ises of a brilliant career, according
to her own confession, were blasted
by her craving for drink. She said
less than a year ago that politics had
caused her downfall and drink her
ruin, and that "late caucuses and
meetings" had started her on tho
down grade.
She began her career as an actress
in September, 1873, appearing in Es-
meralda. From 1885 to 1895 her
friends included governors and
prominent politicians. She acted as
leading spirit in the populist move
ment, which swept Colorado in 1891
and 1892, and resulted in election
of David H. Waite as governor.
Mrs. Dixon lately had been in abb
ject poverty and lived by begging.
