HAS DARLINGTON FOUND The SANE?
The Answer is Found In the Straight
forward Statement OF Darling
ton Resident.

We have been reading week after
week in the local press of Kingstree
citizens who have been rid of dis
tressing kidney and bladder troubles
by Doan's Kidney Pills, and we have
often wondered whether the same
high opinion of this medicine is to
be found in our neighborihg towns.
This frank and earnest statement by
8 weil-known and respected resident
of Darlington will set this doubt at
rest.
HI Brown, grocer, Broad and
Washington SITS. Darlington. S G.,
says: Il had dull pains through the
small of my back and couldn't rest
well. Mornings | was sore and |
often had dizzy'spells. The kidney
secretions passed irregularly and the

kidneys, making me worse. Doan's

ers who seldom have an opportunity
of seeing one of Uncle Sans first
class fighting ships or submarines
will be permitted to Chamber over
the vessels and roam at will on their
decks during the week that they are
anchored IN Charleston harbor.
And then there are the field and

and even at night. when the city
and the battleship fleet will be light
ed with the rays from hundreds of
searchlights. making Charleston by

Charleston by day. The field sports
include every variety of athletics,

Sightseeing trips for the visitors

toned for this purpose.
The plans for the amusement park
are the most elaborate Of anything
ever staged in the South. There will
be scores of free attractions, and the
shows to which admittance is charg-
ed will be about the only amusement
to which a visitor will be asked to
pay. Visits to the battleships will be
free, as will the field and water
sports and the sightseeing trips. as
