Notes and Comments About Matters
of Local Interest.

Gaffney Ledger, July II: Some little
excitement was created on the streets
of the city Monday afternoon by two
white boys stealing a buggy and driv-
ing off. The buggy belonged to a gen.
tleman who lives in the upper part Of
the county. The vehicle had been left
in a hitching yard and evidently de-
string to take little airing, the boys
took possession and drove off. They
were captured by officers Hudson and
Watkins and placed in jail. Later they
gave bond and were released.
Chester Reporter, July II: Married
yesterday morning at the Presbyterian
manse at Lowryville, Mr.. William Guy
Darby and Miss Maude Anderson,
daughter of Mr.. William Anderson,
Rev. F. A. brennan officiating. ..... DR..
S. w. Pryor suffered an attack Of ver-
tigo or something similar Monday af-
ternoon while starting away from the
residence Of Mr.. ]. S. Townes, where
he had just paid a call, and had to be
taken home. 1t was reported at first
that he had had slight stroke Of
paralysis, but fortunately this proved
to be a mistake. DIR. Pryor remained
indoors Tuesday, but was out again
yesterday. . Certain business men and
farmers, realizing the need Of a dairy
to supply the city Of Chester, have been
making efforts to interest a first-class
dairyman in locating here. A dairyman
was in the city last week and express
ed himself as pleased with the COM
munity, but will be unable to make a
change, If he makes any, until Jan. 1st.
In the meantime it is stated that Mr..
/ H. Norris, who will move here from
Yorkville when his home is completed
on the corner Of Hemphill Avenue and
Foote street expects to engage in this
line of work.

Righteous Indisnation.-Some Of t

Righteous NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of the
people who raise the long holler about
boys who go in swimming remind one
of the moss-grown Civil War story,
to-wit: Certain troops were encamp-
ed near the home of a nonsympathizer
who kept a fine view Of the river, also
three daughters. Soldiers felt need of
a bath and took it. Householder rails
ed some smoke, and commanding off,
Ger assured him that 1t wouldn't hap
pen again. To that end he ordered
bathing soldiers to go one mile down
stream. And they did. And again the
busy householder approached the COM
manding officer and yelped: MY
daughters are simply Mortified when
they see those naked soldiers in swim
ming"
But they are a mile away" said the
officer.
YES" said the parent, "but the
daughters have a fine telescope. To

A Mountain Heroine.-Clarence

A Mountain Heroine.-Clarence f.
Gaillard, of Newry, was in Walhalla
Monday, and during the day was look
ing after the interests of a young lady
of his community who was in every
sense of the word a heroine. and be-
yond question worthy of recognition at
the hands of the Carnegie hero COM
mission.
1t will be remembered that about
two weeks ago Miss Sophia Thompson,
II years of age, rescued Eva Gregory,
13 years of age, from rabid dog that
had attacked her, choking the animal
and holding it down with her hands
and knees until the Gregory child was
freed. Miss Thompson was severely
bitten and injured in carrying out her
heroic efforts to save the victim of the
dogs attack.
The Newry community is unanimous
in praise of the little lady who threw
herself into the very jaws of the fero-
ciOus beast to save the younger girl.
She is deserving of the highest praise
for her noble act, and nothing could be
more appropriate than recognition at
the hands of the Carnegie commission.

DON'T BE MISLED.
Princeton Citizens Should Read and
Heed this Advice.

Kidney trouble is dangerous and
often fatal. Don't experiment with
something new and untried. Use a
tested and proved kidney remedy.
Begin with Doan's Kidney Pills.
Used in kidney troubles Is years.
Doan's have cured thousands. Are
recommended here and everywhere.
A Princeton citizens statement
forms convincing proof. It's local
testimony-it can be investigated.
Thomas Post, Main ST., Princeton,
Mimi, says: ''My back was very
lame and. I was annoyed by a too
frequent desire to pass the kidney
secretions. Doan's Kidney Pills
gave me relief from these symptoms
of kidney complaint and greatly
Strengthened my back. I feel justi-
fed in recommending this remedy in
view of the benefit it has brought
me.'' It515|i a2nGs3UuI@ 10 stv 0,7E d
