OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAh KIDNEYS

a medical preparation like DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, that has real-cura-
tive value almost sells itself. Like an
endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need
of it.
DR.. Ki,mer's Swamp-Root is a physi-
clans prescription. 1t has been tested
for years and has brought results to
countless numbers VINO have suffered.
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulfills
almost every wish in overcoming kid
per, liver and bladder Diseases, cor
rects urinary troubles and neutralizes
the uric acid which causes rheuma-
tism.
Do not suffer. Get bottle Of
swamp-Root from any druggist now.
Start treatment today.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Klmer & Co., Binghampton, N. Y, for
a sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention the Semi-weely Newberry
Herald and News.

CLASSIFICATION OF ACCIDENTS
on THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY

Washington, D. c., Feb. Io.-In the
effort to discourage the dangerous Gus
tom OF trespassing on its property,
Southern Railway has lad prepared
some interesting statistics in regard to
the 146 trespassers killed on its tracks
and trains during the fiscal year 1915.
OF these fatal accidents, % occurred
IN country districts and 4 in cities or
towns.
Of tie victims 10 lived near the
scene of the accident, As lived far from
it, and the residence Of 22 was ur-
known; 81 lived at home with family
or parents, 81 did not, and 81 unknown;
133 were male and I3 female; 73 were
white and 73 colored; 50 were married,
G2 single, and "a unknown; so were
without occupation, 43 were unskllled Ia
3orers. II were skilled laborers, I was
a professional man, were merchants,
clerk, a housewife, and SO un-
known; IS wer regularly employed at
the time of accident 70 wer not and Al
unknown; % were walking on track, IS
stealing ride" on trains, 3 killed by
other accidents, and IS unknown;
were under five years of age; six be-
tween FIVE and ten, IL between ten and
IS, 28 between IS and 2I, AZ between Fl
and 30, 22 between 80 and so and 10 be-
tween 50 and 60, 10 between 90 and Is,
SIX over 65, and eight unknown; 22 were
intoxicated at the time of the accident,
40 were not, and 80 unknown.
These figures show concluslvely that
tie great majority of these lives use.
lesslv sacrificed were of useful citizens,
they were equally divided between the
races. men greatly predominated, and
there was a wide distribution as to age
and occupation.
During the year 1914 on all the rail-
wavs of the United States, 4,74o tres
passers were killed, 826 lost one limb.
172 lost two limbs, and 5,o41 suffered
other injuries.

man with a conscience and patriotism
can reconcile such action with his sense
OF duty. The people sent us here to
pass laws and legislate for the whole
country; and I always believed faithful
and efficient service was the best way
to be continued here That has been
the rule by which I have always been
guided, and until my health broke down
seven years ago I always considered it
nv sacred duty to 5e in Washington
whenever the senate was in session and
to be in the senate itself i were pos
sible.
"I have always observed that courtesy
and kindness anw willingness. to grant
favors when it was right to grant them
has been the best course to pursue here.
81 do not criticise in ever so slight
degree the senator in charge of the wa
ter power BILL but be certainly has al
lowed that bill to jog along at snaips
pace.
q give notice now that shall move
to take up the armor plant bill as soon
as the water power bill is out of the way
and press it to a vote at the earliest
practicable moment. If the senator's
who expect to vote for it will help me
maintain a quorum we ought to pass it
through the cenate in three or four
DAYS at most. All senator's who expect
to speak on the bill have had ample
time to prepare their speeches and I
shall see to it that the talk is kept up
or vote had"

Writes of The Good Old
Days Long Gone By

read little paragraph not lOHS slim.
1t must have been in an almanac, but.
however, am going to throw it IN. 1t
sid the way to keep young is always to
think young thougnt, and never think
of yourself as the cid man or old wo-
man Always keep pace with the young.
Keep on thinking young thoughts and
doing young things. Exercise dancing
and singing. Keep happy by making
others happy. Be of the world, not just
on the edge of it Keep interested in the
things of the times. No one ever gets
Young by finding fault. Be an optinist
in all things.
These are some mighty good rules for
the old folks to practice except one. l
can't agree with TIE idea OF old peo-
pie e. cising the practice of dancing.
Wouldn't it be pretty sight for some
people to see. The Idler and myself try
ing to cut the pigeon wing, on the floor
with a set OF young people Hub Evans
is the only man among the older crowd
who can measure up with the boys in
that respect. But, Mr.. Idier I tell You
what we can do. We can join in with
young thoughts and go back to our boy
days when we were in those good old
time country schools. and think of how
many times we played marbles and
climbed the sassafraS trees and broke off
the tender branches for our sweethearts
to chew, and gather around the old
spring with fifteen or twenty other boys,
one boy with gourd in his hand and
all the rest hollering out at the same
time, Give it to me- its my time next. "
This water drinking was more general
just after dinner. Then we would go
back and enjoy ourselves nearly an
hour in playing ball and marbles.
The larger boys would play base ball
and the smaller boys and girls would
play paddle cat until the teacher would
holler out. Books" This would kill
the JOY for little while.

Dear Editor Of The Herald and News ::
l have concluded to have another little
say and my secretary is not here: so
YOU will observe that l have by own
scratching to do.
Now, dear reader, you may call me
an old crank or fogy, whichever you
please, but l can't help from thinking
Of the days when l was young.
Yes, l have lived in the days when
the people called persimmons, simmons,
and onions, ingins; and potatoes were
called taters, and molasses were lases,
cabbage were, called collards, and to-
matoes were called tomors. And gravy
was called sop, and dresses were called
frocks and pants were called breeches,
and Bedenbaughs were called Peter
books, and Mowers were called MooreS,
and Kohns were called Koons and Buz-
hardts were called Buzzards and Nc
Culloughs were called N.cCuHcks and
Gallmans were called Colemans. And
ministers and pastors were called
preachers and mechanics were called
carpenters.
No. my young friends, there was no
doubling and twisting over things in
those good old days. There were no
high cocolorums to come around and
mar the good pleasures of the good old
country homes Yes, God bless these
good old times, when the farms were
self-sustaining and the people were
happy
There were no agricultural colleges
to teach young men how to go around
over the country and tell the farmer
what his land needs and get his mind all
mixed up over the science of chemistry
and stimulate the habit of the use Of
adulterated fertilizers.
There were no telephones for gossip
No monographs to sing
No autos to scare horses out the road,
And cause people to sin.
There were no fascinating arcades,
No pepsi cola to drink,
Nobody to disturb you
When you were trying to think.
No legislature tagging
In Columbia forty days,
20 discuss the situation
Over the liquor phrase.
There we're no round about monkey
ings
On what people had to drink,
Our land was full of pleasure
And it didn't cost a cent.
Yes, Mr.. Editor, I love to tell the
story of the days when was young. I
