Owners OF Railroads.

1t has been generally assumed that
the stock of the railroads of the
country is owned by comparatively
few wealthy people, when as mat
ter of fact it is just the reverse.
Reports filed with the Interstate
Commerce commission, as required
by law, show that the majority of
stockholders are people of compara-
lively small means. and that this
stock is held in comparatively every
walk of life. The Illinois Central,
one of the smaller roads, has II, 900
stockholders; $4,000 people own the
stock of the Atchison. Topeka & San
ia Fe; the Pennsylvania is owned by
$4,000 people, and other roads are
in proportion. The interests of
these people and of the great con-
suming public, should also be con-
sidered in any settlement hat is
finally effected in the dispute be-
tween the roads and their employees.

MISS Ella CANNON,
VILLA msburg Girl, Volunteers
for Mission Field.


Some four years ago Miss Ella
Cannon of Hemingway went to Rich
mond, Va, to enter the business
world. She took business course at
one of the colleges in that city. Hav-
ing completed it with thoroughness
and honor, she secured a position
with the E B Taylor Co, one of the
largest crockery stores in the South.
She gave entire satisfaction in her
business relation with this firm,
thereby writing success across her
venture into the business world.
Not only did Miss Cannon weave
success into her business life but in
the social and religious life as well.
Being an earnest Christian and
Methodist, she connected herself
with the Broad Street Methodist
church and there proved her worth
and usefulness in consecrated service
to her Lord and Master, as teacher
in the Sunday-school, as missionary
secretary of the Sunday-school, su-
perintendent of the missionary de-
partment in the Epworth league and
in many other ways served. in a
sincere and efficient manner, the
cause of Christ.
At the annual State Epworth
League convention Of the Virginia
conference held in Richmond about
three months ago, Miss Cannon vol
unteered for definite missionary
work, being willing to 20 to any land
or people to which God may call her
She will have two years of prepar-
alton at the Scarritt Bible Training
school in Kansas City, Mo. and will
leave Richmond for that school
about the first week in September.
Broad Street church, of which Miss
Cannon is a member, will assist her
in the preparatory course.
She has greatly endeared herself
to the Richmond people, and her
friends there, as here, rejoice in the
dedication of the life of noble
young woman to a high and holy
purpose. A TRUE FRIEND.

COOPER IN PUBLIC STATEMENT :
SPEAKS SQUARELY FOR MANNING. :

Laurens August 30:-The Hon
Robert A Cooper tonight gave the
following statement relative to the
Gubernatorial race: Il am deeply
grateful to the many friends in all
sections of the State who gave me
their support in Tuesdays primary.
Notwithstand the loyal support of
true and tried friends, l have been
defeated and the second primary
will be had with Coy Manning and
former Gov Blease as contestants.
Among those who gave me their
support are former supporters of
these two gentlemen and | am not
unmindful of their preferences. l
recognize the right of every citizen
to cast his ballot for the man Of his
choice. l know, too, that | have
some friends who think | should
make no statement at all at this
time, and respect their judgment
highly, but can't and don't propose
to evade stand for what conceive
to be the best interest of my State.
Without attempting to give my rea-
sons in detail, | believe | can best
serve my State at this time by sup
porting Governor Manning. A man
in public life should act according
to the dictates of his conscience and
Judgment without regard to the
effect which his course may have
upon his personal political fortune,
and should also forget any wrong
which may have been done him
when what he cnnceived as his duty
to his State is at stake. do not
presume to dictate to the friends
who voted for me. They have a
sovereign right to their ballot. l
make this statement as to myself
for the reasons set forth above and
further that l may not be accused
of political cowardice or of sulking
in my tent"

ed support and earnest cooperation
of my friends l will win. All l want

what you have already done for me.

No woman should consider herself
healthy and we'll if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off in the
urine when the kidneys are well are
retained in the body when the kid.
neys are disordered. This is the trne
cause of many bearing-down pans,
lameness, backache, etc. Uric poison
ing also causes headaches, dizzv
spells, ,languor, nervousness and rheu-
matte pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's
Kidney Pills. You will get better as
the kidneys get better, and health
will return when the kidneys are
well. Let a fellow sufferer tell you
about Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs C M Chandler, Beauregard
St, Lake City, S G, says: MY kid
neys gave me considerable trouble.
I had pains in my back and sides and
could not rest well. Mornings | was
tired and weak and also suffered
from dizzy spells. The kidney secre-
tions passed irregularly. When
friends recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills got some, and they relieved
me of the ailments.
