WORK WEARS ON The KIDNEYS.
Beams Kidney Pills Eaye Done lirea'
Service for People Who Work
In KiRgSlPee.

Many Kingstree people work every
day in some strained, unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious house work; lifting,
reaching or pulling, or trying the
back in a hundred and one other
ways. All these strains tend to wear,
weaken and injure the kidneys until
they fall behind in their work of fil-
tering the poisons from the blood.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys and bad backs. Their effect

ONIONS IN MILK.
Keep Cows Out of Onion.Infested
Pastures before Milking.

For the next few weeks there will
be much trouble with the cows get
ting wild onions in the pasture. The
flavor of the onion is passed off with
the breath of the cow and in her
milk. Butter made from such milk
carries strong taste of onion and
cannot be sold on the regular mar
ket.
There is no way the farmer can
get the odor out of the milk or but
ter. None Of the patent stock foods
or any other powder orremedy is OF
any value and so no money should
be wasted on them. Keeping the
cow away from the onions is the
only satisfactory way. If the cow is
kept away from the onions six or
eight hours before milking almost all
of the odor will have passed out of
her system and very little will be
noticed in her milk. This method
will allow the cow to use the pasture
for two or three hours after the
morning milking.
Where the grass is thick the cow
will not usually bite the onions.

ACTIVITY AT JOHNSONVILLE.
Young Town IN Williamsburg
Forging Steadily Ahead.

Johnsonville, April l9:-Scarcely a
week passes that does not see the
completion of one or more new build
ings or the beginning of one or sew
eral in Johnsonville.
Among the new buildings just
completed are the commodious two
story store and fraternity rooms of
R L Cockfeld and Homer Venters,
new store of S K Cockfield. new store
of E G Prosser, residence Of j L Pow
ell, addition to the home recently
purchased by the widow of the late
Rev A W Jackson of South Carolina
conference and occupied by her. E
F Prosser is having erected new
postoffice building.
Several new firms have recently
started in the mercantile business,
and Johnsonville, only three years
old can boast of a splendid bank with
good deposits the year round. More
than a dozen good stores, including
one drug store aid afrst-class hard
ware business, excellent livery and
sale stables,a fourishing and rapidly
growing newspaper and various 9TH
er enterprises and numerous resi-
dences.
The Seaboard Air Line railroad
has had for some time very large
force of hands on the track near
town regarding the line from Poston
to Andrews and putting the roadbed
in shape for very heavy traffic.
The farmers Of the community
have been busy setting tobacco and
planting corn and cotton.
Considerable fertilizer has been
hauled 80 far, but not nearly so much
as heretofore. Tobacco plants are
rather scarce, due to the late cold
wave, but a large acreage is being
set. and optimism as to conditions
generally seems to be very prevalent.

Why Constipation Injuries.

The bowels are the natural sewer
age system Of the body. When they
become obstructed by constipation a
part Of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed
into the system, making you feel dull
and stupid, and interfering with the
digestion and assimilation of food.
This condition is quickly relieved by
Chamberlain's Tablets. Obtainable

Villa is known to have had numer-
Gus sympathizers among the lower
classes in the city, and it was con-
sidered probable that their SYM
pathies would take the form of vio-
ience if they learned the body of
their hero was being brought to
Chihuahua to be exhibited as that of
a criminal.
Finally, and point upon which
the greatest emphasis is laid, is:
Nothing has been known of Villa
since the battle of Guerrero, at
which time reports of his being
wounded were accepted by Gen
Pershing and other American Off
GERS. If he had continued south, as
was assumed he must, by this time
have reached either Torreon or
Durango City, in which event some
news of his movements would almost
positively have become known.
Only one message was received in
Juarez today, giving any details of
the supposed finding of Villas body.
This message was unofficial and was
sent to a private individual. Ac-
cording to it Villas death and burial
were revealed by former colonel of
the bandit band, who had been cap
tured and was under sentence of
death. This colonel offered to show
his captors Villas grave in return
for his life. He led a detachment
of Carranza soldiers under the COM
mand of Col Cavazos to San Fran
cisco Borja, a small town thirty
miles south of Cusihuirachic, with
which it is connected by a vague and
deserted trail. Near this loEely
spot the Carranza soldiers are said
to haye exhumed the body of the
bandit. One leg was said to have
been swollen to enormous size and
to be in such q gangrenous condition
that there was no doubt as to the
cause of death.
Consul Garcia refused to commit
himself positively tonight as to
whether he accepted the story of
Villas death as true.
In the absence of official Inform
ation," he said. Il cannot say that
the story is absolutely true. but per-
sonally | consider the message l
have received as reliable. / have
sent telegram to Governor Enri-
quez, of Chihuahua, to have the
body of Villa sent to Juarez if ir has
been found, so that the Americans
here can satisfy themselves as to the
facts"

REPORT that
VILLA IS DEAD.
SAID TO HAVE DIED FROM EFF.
Feet OF WOUNDS--RUMOR
NOT CONFIRMED.

lNo4 NOlNE kNWAGOs
Ell Paso, Texas. April 16:-Fran-
cisco Villa is dead, and his body, dis
inferred some days after his burial =,
is in the possession of the Carranza
troops, according to a series of tele-
graphic messages received in Juarez
today by the Mexican officials. For
more than week reports that Villa
had died from wounds have been
current both here and in Juarez.
Today's accounts were the most cir
cumstantial and apparently reliable
yet received. They were accepted
with reserve by American officials,
including Gen Bell. but the Mexican
officials expressed confidence in their
reliability. The messages, in the
order in which they were received,
were as follows:
THE dispatcher of the Mexican
Northwestern Railroad, at Juarez,
reported to Gen Cavira; Carranza
commander at Juarez, that ne had
heard a conversation on the tele-
graph wire to the effect that Villas
BODY was in the hands of the Car
rama troops.
Gen Gavira notified Consul An
dres Garcia here, who rushed mes
sages to the telegraph operators at
MADEIRA and Cusihuirachic asking for
confirmation"
The MADEIRA and C Cusihuirachic oper-
ators answered, confirming the re-
port and stating the body was being
taken to Chihuahua.
The telegraph operator at San An
tonic, fifty miles west of Chihuahua,
telegraphed Consul Garcia that Viii
las body was in possession of Col
Carlos Carranza. nephew of Gen
Carranza, who was taking it in a
special train to Chihuahua.
In reply to these messages, tele-
grams were sent to the Carranza
generals in the field and to officials
in Mexico City, Chihuahua and other
points asking confirmation, but no
answers have yet been received.
Apart from the kilograms sent
here there are some known facts
which have been pointed out by
Mexican officials as lending strong
support to the truth Of the report
that the bandit chieftain's career
has been closed by death.
The facts are: That Villa had
been suffering for more than a year
from a virulent form of blood pois-
oning. He was treated for this dis
ease while in Juarez by DR. W L
Brown, one of the best known ply.
sicians in Ell Paso.
DR. Brown states that the condi,
ton of the bandit was such that
even minor wound would be fatal
in ten days unless treated promptly
and with the best medical skill and
care. Even under the most favor
able conditions such a wound would
be of the gravest character.
1t is certain that if Villa was
wounded he could not have com
manded anything but the most
primitive treatment.
Another message from Chihuahus
City received here today stating that
riotine had broken out there was
regarded as being in some measure
confirmatory of the bandits death

Spring..

Spring is looked upon by many as
the most delightful season Of the
year, but this cannot be said by the
rheumatic. The cold and damp
weather brings on rheumatic pains
which are anything but pleasant.
They can be relieved, however, by
applying Chamberlain's Liniment.

Land Survey Made
by Geo. Washington
in State Of Virginia

Last week The Bee printed a reproduce
ton of one of George Washington's real
estate advertisements
George Washington's records of his sur
veying were as interesting as his real
estate advertisements. Irenaeus Shuler
of Shuler & Cary has returned from q
visit to his old home in Page county,
Virginia, where he sold a part OF the old
family estate. He brought with him the
original deeds OF two tracts of this land
totaling some 800 or 400 acres. The deed
describes the tract according to the sur
vey made of that territory by George
Washington.
Apparently George didn't drive many
stakes. but surveyed from convenient
oaks to convenient sycamores.
What was known as the mountain sur
vey' in Virginia was made by Washing
ton. Here is a part of the description
given In the deed. now soiled and yellow

By Electricity the
Sea Water is Made
Into Disinfectant

Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. 1O-Sea water turned
into a disinfecting fluid at the cost OF .
cents for 100 gallons is the novel method
Of disinfecting hospital ships. which has
been successfully tried out on the Adui-
tania and is now adopted in the other
transports of sick ana wounded.
The apparatus consists OF an electricity
tic cell. reversing switch capable Of
carrying 100 amperes and some ordinary
insulated electric cahle. costing in all
about $3.50 The cell. IN order TO insulate
II. is placed on a rubber mat and IL
raised upon n low table to enable the
contents to be poured out easily. It is
filled with cold sea water. current
OF sixty TO seventy-five amperes at Ito
volts is turned on and In about five min
utes there is obtained a solution contain
ing two parts OF solium. hypochlorite or
available chlorine to 1000 parts.
The solution Is excellent as a sterilizer
of drinking water. one part chlorine to
1000 900 parts. and AZ an antiseptic for
wounds used undiluted as obtained from
the electrolyzer. The fluid Is besides
used in the buther's department and In
the laundry for soaking undyed cotton
and linen goods. 1t is added to the ships
swimming bath in the proportion of one
part in 100000 parts. reducing the bao-
terra in the water by 90 per cent
This use of electrolyzed sea water has
effected a great economy by replacing
expensive coal tar dlsinfectants, such as
oarbolic. cresol and the like. In the case
OF the Aquitania the saving paid for the
cost of the apparatus in the course of a
single trip Of three weeks.

CATSTLE-Ther were no fresh receipts
OF cattle this morning OF any Conse-

large receipts and splendid demand. The
total arrivals show a heavy Increase over
most recent weeks as well az n heavy
gain over last year. At the same time
everything has been disposed OF very
readily on the day OF arrival at con-
stanuy advancing prices.
One OF the main causes for the Inn
provement In the demand Is to be found
In the largely Increased buying OF cattle
for feeding purposes.
The market has been In a good healthy

standpoint I has been the best market
