DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin to all Of

WHEN her BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Strength and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Kingstree women know how the
aches and pains that often come
when the kidneys fail make life a
burden. Backache, hip pains, head
aches, dizzy spells, distressing uri-
nary troubles, are frequent indica-
tions of weak kidneys and should be
checked in time. Doan's Kidney
Pills are for the kidneys only. They
attack kidney disorders by striking
at the cause.
Can Kingstree sufferers desire
stronger proof than this woman's
word?

There must be genuine merit to an
article that has stood the test of two
generations of users.
In the field of medicine none has
had greater success, nor retained
that success to a greater degree,
than DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which is now being used by three
generations of people. Its use in
families is constantly becoming more
general. The reason. primarily, is
that it has merit. 1t is what it rep
resents itself to be. a laxative-tonic;
it does not make exaggerated claims
nor use coarse language to set forth
its virtues.
1t is a medicine, but 80 mild and
gentle a medicine that thousands Of
mothers give it to tiny infants. and
yet, in a slightly larger dose, it is
equally effective for grown-ups. 1t

Grand Jury Presen,menl.

To the Honorable Frank B Gary,
Presiding Judge
The Grand Jury beg leave to hand
you herewith their report.
Indictments were handed to US
as follows: True Bills, Is and No
Bills, one.
We respectfully call the Courts
attention to the fact that several
parties have been convicted on two
or more occasions for selling
whiskey, and who paid the fine to
the town Of Kingstree.
We respectfully request the Court
to instruct the proper authorities to
have an indictment brought by the
State against the party or parties
concerned at the earliest date
possible.
Complaints have come to Us from
various sections Of Williamsburg
county, mentioning the almost i'm
passable conditions of the public
roads: the Earle and Oak Ridge
roads have been particularly men
toned, one used as a rural free
delivery route, az in a bad condition.
We ask that the Road Engineer
be urged to look after all of the
roads and bridges that need atten-
ton.
A committee of our body visited
the county Jail and found it IN very
good condition, with the exception
of the need of connection with the
City Water Works. The Jail, how
ever, was found uncomfortably cold
this morning, without being heated.
We recommend that an expert be
employed to examine the county
officials books with a committee Of
the Grand Jury who will make
report at the next term Of the
court.
1t has been stated to US that the.
Rural Police will be discontinued.
as we regard the effect that these
officers have on crime and disturb
ances is for the lessening thereof,
we ask continuance of the force in
this county.
We desire to express our thanks
to your Honor and to the officers of
the court and county officials for
the aid and courtesies extended.
Respectfully submitted,
WE SNowDEN,~

half pledged herself to Barrett, and
it was perhaps the love of conquest,

he resolved to get even with the bully,
nobody guessed his resolution, not
even Rogers himself.

man." said Rogers, 'but l just had

Barrett walked out of the room.
He did not want to hear Miss Ruth
discussed by Rogers.
There had been good many cases
of impoverishment connected with
the failure of the land company, and
at one time Mr.. Kingsley had receiv-
ed threats from various sources. The
anonymous letters had ceased, and
he no longer guarded himself with

thing that occurred at three O'Clock

expected.

THIRTY-FIRST CHAPTER.

VHAVE only an indefinite memory
of floating vaguely through the
sights and sounds of the next two
hours; of everybody except mlself
being wildly excited; of my cousins
calling repeatedly from unseen re-
gions of the house; Of Aunt Bridget
scolding Unfortunately of the
dressmakers chattering without
ceasing as they fitted on my we'd
ding dress; of their standing off from
me at intervals with cries Of delight
at the success OF their efforts; OF the
wind roaring in the chimney; of the
church bells ringing in the distance;
of the ever-increasiug moaning of
the sea about St. Mary's Rock; and
finally OF the rumbling of the rubber
wheels Of several carriages and the
plash OF horses hoofs on the gravel
of the drive.

At last 1 heard a fiuttering Of silk
outside my room, and a running
stream of Chatter going down the
stairs, followed by the banging of
carriage doors. and then my fathers
deep voice, saying:
Bride ready Good! Time to go,

He alone had made no effort to
dress himself up, for he was still
wearing his every day serge and his
usual heavy boots. There was not
even a flower in his button hole.
We did not speak very much on
our way to church, but ! found a
certain comfort in his big warm pres
ence as we sat together in the car
riage with the windows shut, for the
rising storm was beginning to fright

The little church was thronged with
people. Even the galleries were full
of the children from the village

tree, and as l walked up the nave on
my fathers arm | could not help but
hear over the sound of the organ the
whispered words of the people in the
pews on either side of us.

Lady Margaret, carrying a sheaf of
beautiful white flowers, was standing
near.
My own witnesses and bridesmaids
Betsy Beauty and Messy Mcleod, in
large hats, with soaring black
feathers, were behind me. I could
hear the rustic of their rose -colored
skirts and the indistinct buzz of their
whispered conversation, as we'll as
the more audible reproofs of Aunt
Bridget, who in a crinkly black silk
dress and bonnet like a half moon,
was telling them to be silent and to
look placid.
At the next moment | was con-
scious that a bell had been rung in
the chancel: that the organ had
stopped; thar the coughing and hem
ming in the church had ceased; that
somebody was saying. Stand here
my lord;" that Lord Raa, with a ner-
vous laugh, was asking, "Here?" and
taking a place by my side: that the
lighted altar, laden with flowers, was
in front of me, and that the bishop in
his vestments, Father Dan in his sur
plice and white stole, and clerk car
rying a book and a vessel of holy
water We're beginning the service.
surely never was there a Sadder
ceremony. Never did any girl under
similar circumstances feel a more
vivid presentiment of the pains and
penalties that follow on a forced and
ill-assorted marriage. And yet there
came to me in the course of the serv-
ice such q startling change OF thought
as wiped out for while all my sad
ness. made me forget the compulsion
that had been put upon me, and lifted
me into r realm Of spiritual ecstasy.
The bishop began a short litany
which asked Gods blessing on the

In this as in everything | did what

1t was all as dreary and lifeless as
an empty house can remember

money "a few shillings l think to

had been very restless, rose to his
