PLEASANT WAY To
STOP CONSTIPATION
Dodson's Liver Tone Takes the Place of
Disagreeable Calomel and Its Often
Dangerous After-Effects.

You probably know that calo-
mel is a poison, form of mer-
curry, very dangerous to a great
many people and sometimes
causing disagreeable after effects
for nearly everyone who tries it.
Dodson's Liver Tone is recon-
mended as a perfectly safe and
reliable remedy to take the place
of calomel. This is exactly what
it is made for and has been made
for ever since the first bottle
was put up and sold.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pretty
widely initiated. But be careful
to judge between the loud boasts
of the imitators and the plain
truth of the original.
Dodson's Liver Tone is sold
and guaranteed by Ardrey's
Drug store who will refund pur-
chase price (50c. instantly with
a smile if you are in any way
dissatisfied.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a
palatable vegetable liquid. Its
action is easy and natural, with
no gripe. no pain and the after
effects are pleasant instead of
disapreeable. Dodson's Liver
Tone does not interfere with
your regular duties, habits and
diet, but builds and strengthens
instead of weakening you or
knocking you all out" for days.
Try Dodson's and feel better
and brighter, as thousands have.

Will Build New Bridge.

Announcement was made from
the Southern railway Offices in
this city Thursday, that the rail-
way company will in the near
future build a new bridge on
Clebourn street where the street
crosses the railway tracks. The
decision to put up a new bridge
was reached by the railroad
people after a visit to this place
a few days ago of the division
superintendent who made a
thorough inspection of the pres
ent structure.
For several months city council
has endeavored to have the rail
road company rebuild the bridge,
and it was due to these efforts of
council that the division official
visited Fort Mill a few days ago
and looked into the matter. The
information is also given out
that the new bridge will be a
much more substantial structure
than the present one and will be
of the same width of the street
with walks for pedestrians on
either side and a vehicle drive
way in the center. The old
bridge has long since passed the
point of safety and comfort for
the large number of our people
who are compelled to use it daily
and the announcement that it
soon will be replaced with a new
structure is gratifying news to
all.

Working for the Fair.

An automobile party of about
20 men, headed by Prof. Chas.
R. Weeks, of Winthrop College,
spent a few hours in Fort Mill
Thursday in the interest of the
next York County fair, which is
to be held on Wednesday, Thurs
DAY and Friday. October Ia, Is
and 16. The party left here at
about noon for Yorkville, with
the intention of visiting Clover
and points in Western York be-
fore returning to Rock Hill.
Speaking to a Times man of
the approaching fair, Prof.
Weeks stated that the prospects
were very bright. The fair
association now has fair ground
of its own, north of Winthrop
college, and already work is in
progress there putting things in
shape for the fall exhibition.
The association is capitalized at
$5, 600 and with this amount of
working capital, Mr.. Weeks says
that the grounds will be much
larger than those used last year
and that improved exhibit rooms
will be provided for the different
classes of exhibits, as well as
better accommodations for the
visitors to the fair. He also
stated that the prizes for the
coming fair will be increased in
number and of larger amounts.

ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST.

A brother of Edward Durham,
the Snowman who was injured
in this city a few days ago, was
in Fort Mill on Tuesday and
stated to a Times man that the
injured man died at his home in
Gaffney early Saturday morning.
Mr.. Lester Therrell, a we'll
known young man of the Pleas
ant Valley section received notice
several days ago of his appoint
ment as railway mail clerk, for
which position he stood exam
nation some time ago. Mr..
Therrell will report to the Char
lesion Office, where he will be
assigned to his route.
Hon. Richard /. Manning,
candidate for governor of South
Carolina, addressed a crowd of
about two hundred people at
Confederate Park Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Manning was en-
route to Yorkville and came over
to Fort Mill on the evening train
from Rock Hill. His talk was
principally on education and
agriculture.
The revival services which
have been mentioned in The
Times. began last Sunday eve
ming at the Fort Mill Baptist
church and are being held twice
daily by the Rev. w. H. Wake
field of the Second Baptist
church of Columbia. Large
congregations are attending and
great interest is being taken in
the meeting. The series of ser
vices is scheduled to continue
through the week.
During the last week the Fort
Mill Baptist church has installed
several large electric ceiling fans,
and parties attending the meet
ing this week at the church say
that the fans add much to the
comfort of the people during the
services. The Times has Cor
several years prevailed upon
the churches of the town to in
stall the fans, and now that the
Baptists have taken the lead
the other churches doubtless will
soon follow suit.
