Mrs. Gena Johnson, SOP Lee ST.,

fell out of carriage and hurt my
back. l soon noticed that my back
was getting worse all the time, until
I could hardly lift anything. / had
sharp, shooting pains in my back. At
different times, had dizzy spells and
black spots floated before my eyes.
noticed dropsical swellings around my
ankles. A doctor told me that it was
a floating kidney that caused all of
this. One of my neighbors had used
Doan's Kidney Pills and told me about
them. After / had taken the first box
noticed great relief. From that time
until now l have always kept Doan's
Kidney Pills in my home and have
taken them off and on as needed"

Why, the merchant in comparatively

SUMTER NEEDS
BETTER ROADS;
MORE HIGHWAYS
SYSTEM SHOULD BE GREATLY EN-
TENDED THIS YEAR.

greatest system of fine roads in Geor-
gia-highways that have a national
reputation and are unsurpassed by
those of any county or community in
he South, we need even more and
better roads, and there is no time like
the present in which to enlarge and
improve our system of highways. Sum-
ter's good roads have added a million
dollars to her land values. Why not
add another million in values this
year?
Here's the 1915 Slogan.
Our time is too valuable to waste in
travelling over bad roads.
Until we have good roads we will not
have better markets.
The cost of good roads is less than the
tax of bad ones.
Out of the mud hole and on to the
pike should be your slogan.
Fortune lives on an improved highway,
misfortune on a poor one.
The growth of any community is de-
pendent upon good roads.
Happiness, contentment and prosper
ity don't go with bad roads.
Even heather countries realize the
value Of good highways.
Mud holes are civilizations greatest
parasites. Abolish them.
Unto another generation the benefits Of
good roads will extend
Do deeds that yill live after you. Boost
and build roads.
"Out of the Mud" and on to the
graded highway, should be the aim of
our people this year.
Just now the county has, perhaps,
the largest and best equipped work
ing force in many years. Building ma
terial can be had at less cost than ever
before, and conditions for road i'm
provement are altogether highly fav-
orable The only need is the money
for such improvements, and this can
be had upon the most advantageous
terms, If the voters of the county de-
sire it. Will they not come together
now in favor of bond issue, and
Get Out Of The Mud?
Let the county commissioners, at
their regular meeting next Monday,
discuss this important proposition and
order an election for bonds for good
roads In Sumter. TWO hundred thous-
and dollars foreign money thus ex-
pended here would wonderfully i'm
prove conditions locally, and tighten
the burden of the taxpayers Let the
commissioners give the voters this
opportunity. Get Out Of the Mud

Melrose Walks All Over Sank Gen.
tres Base Ball Team in Sunday
Afternoons Game.

A good bunch of fans followed the
Sank Centre Grays to Melrose Sun
day afternoon to witness a game be-
tween them and the Melrose bunch.
The story is soon told. Bradley scored
for the locals in the first on walk,
a stolen base and on an error and sac
rifice fly. Melrose evened matters
up in the second, scored again in the
third on bone-head play, and in the
eighth pushed eight across on fus-
ilade of hits and errors gby the Garys
Another was scored in the seventh
and one in the eighth. Bradley
started off in the ninth with a hit,
stole second and third and came home
on Reeds short single. Sank Centre
secured four hits, made nine errors,
while Melrose made ID bingles two of
which were for three sacks and two
two-base slams. Only one error was
chalked up against them.
Alexandria comes to Sank Centre
next Sunday. A new battery will ap-
pear in this game and better things
are hoped for. Turn out and give the
boys one more boost; Manager Segers
is trying hard to whip a winning team
in line.

SANDY" IN SMASH-UP
Local Horseman Has Very Narrow
Escape from Serious Injury in
Race at Valley City.

The Sanderson & Parker horses had
very bad racing luck at Valley City,
N. D., last week. Major Gantz was
in a race smash-up in the 2:10 pace.
Another horse ran over Mr.. Sander
son, badly bruising him and it was
necessary for another man to drive
his races. Major Gantz ran into the
fence and turned a complete sum-
ersault, landing on the outside of the
track. At that he made a splendid
showing under the circumstances Win
ming third money, the fastest time be-
ing 2:10A.
Last weeks Herald stated that
there were 10 horses entered at Val
ley City when it should have read 1903.
Mr.. Sanderson had his horses at
C;ookston this week and has recover
ed from his injuries sufficiently to do
his own driving.
Last Sundays Minneapolis Journal
in speaking of the local horses, has
the following to say:
"Sauk Centre, Minnesota horsemen
seem to have picked up a very good
PAGER in the four year old gelding
Ross Directum 2:19A, by Directum
Boy, that they purchased last winter.
In his first start at Glenwood he was
second to the good mare Range Girl
in good time and at Cooperstown, N.
d., tied for first money with the New
Ulm stallion King billiard, beating a
big field, which included the fast
mare General Luther's Baby.
"The old warrior Major Gantz,
2:08A, that has been a good winner
for Sanderson for the past two sea-
sons, looks by his showing at Coopers-
town, to be as good as ever. He pac-
ed a dead heat with Rob Roy in the
first heat and beat the Oh So gelding
in the second, but was not able to
beat the iron-sided Rob Roy in 3 in
race, which is the latter's favorite
style of racing.
''This will be Major Gantz's 10th
year on the turf. At the close of last
year he had started in 95 races and
been behind the money in but seven
of them. Last year he won eight

Regarding Umpires
Sank Centre Herald:

To the Sank Centre Herald:
When a man undertakes to officiate
at base ball game, he is supposed to
receive, at least, measure of respect
and consideration at the hands of the
home bunch, but, strange as it may
seem, such is not the case. On the
contrary, not only Rule 65 of the Off
cial guide, but every rule of decency
is being violated at every stage OF
the game. On the other hand when
one is fool enough to umpire without
receiving anything but highly flavor.

STOCK MARKET

New York, Oct. 20-Opening.-Be 1eaen Steefs further advance to 510. 1e points above it's previous high, was the chief feature of today's early mar ket, with some irregularity of prices in other parts of the list. Material gains were made by other specia1ties, particularly those comprising the war group, and United States Steel opened fractionally higher. These gains were again offset by moderate reverses in the railroads, notably Baltimore & Ohio, New Haven and Reck Island London's range for International shares was mainly lower, among the few exceptions being Atchison and St. Paul.
 Noon-Trading was moderately ac- tive but largely professional, the varfa- ble tendency of the list ref1ecting fur ther manipulation. Bethlehem Steel reacted nine points. but American Woolen made a new record on it's 2 point rise to 57 1z. Coppers next claimed speculative attention, particu- lar1y Anacendo and Inspiration, and later some of the minor fndustriafs came forward with gains of 1 to 2 points. U. s. Steel hung around yes terday's close and the railways were more reactionary. Bonds were steady.
