Many an earnest Walhalla man or

Kidney Pills.
Week after week, month after
month, you've read their statements.
Would these Walhalla people rec
ommend any medicine if it were not
good?
Would they confirm and repeat
their statements after years had
passed?
Local proof is good evidence.
Testimony confirmed years after is
better evidence.
Tie following Walhalla woman's
statement leaves no room for doubt.

GIsEENVILEE LOST HER SUIT.
Dr. Burnett Won Il Verdict for 3d.
600 Against the City.

Greenyille, Feb. IA jury in the
Court or Common Pleas yesterday re-
turned verdict in favor Of DR.. w.
NJ. Burnett for $4,000 in his suit
against the city Of Greenyille for
100000 damages. This case was be-
gun Monday morning and consumed
nearly two days of the first week of
the court.
DR.. Burnett entered suit against
the city about four years ago, alleg-
ing that by direct negligence and
mismanagement Of the city, he was
injured by having his collar bone
broken, sustained several other in
jurics and was permanently injured.
lie was put to hospital expense and
loss Of practice, which, he alleged.
amounts to $4,000 actual and puni-
tive damages.
DR.. Burnett was injured OH the af-
ternoon OF November 12, 1912,
which was one Of the days set aside
for the practcing by autos for the
hill-climb. and he claimed that he
did not know the practice was on.
lie alleged In his complaint that he
left his home on Park avenue on this
day in his automobile, and when he
turned into Main street his car was
by another automobile running at Il
rate OF from - 10 100 miles all hour.
This car was being driven by Frank
knebcl. Knebel and Frank Poe, as
Il result OF the collision, ran into the
stream OF water in the city park.
They both sustained painful iniuries.
DR.. Burnetts counsel argued that
the street was being used on that day
in violation Of the laws OF the State
and with the knowledge and consent
OF the city, the mayor, the city coun-
ell and the policemen. and that the
injuries to him were due to the neg
liccncc and careless management Of
the streets by leaving them unguard-
ed when the hill climb was on.
On January l6. 1917, the State
Supreme Court reversed the juds,.
mcnt Of the lower court and held
that the city Of Greenville was liable
for permitting the streets to be used
for the speed practice.
When DR.. Burnett first brought
suit against the city the circuit
judge granted demurrer holding
that under the statute the city was
not liable. This was reversed, how
ever, by the Supreme Court.

SALAZAR TO RAID BORDER
And Kill Gringocs, According to His
Own Written Word,

IIachita. n. NJ, Feb. 15.-.Jose
YneZ Salazar threatened soon to raid
an American city or town and kill
all the American men, according to
Bunk" Spencer, the American ne
gro. who with his Mexican wife are
being held for ransom by Salazar's
forces at Ojitos.
Spencer reached the border yester-
day to obtain a ransom for the re-
lease OF himself and wife, returning
to Ojitos.
According to Spencer, Salazar gave
him the following message to take to
the border:
''Tell the American people that
Jose fnez Salazar is going to visit
them shortly and distribute Il few
pounds OF lead in their midst. Just
rs soon as the forces | am expecting
reach me, shall strike some Ameri-
can city or town and no American
lorcc or Carranza army will prevent
me from carrying out my plans. Co
lumbus will be as nothing compared
to my strike.
During my stay will make every
elort to protect American women
and children, but the men Of 'gringo-
land will have to take care"
The Warren ranch interests are
understood to have agreed to pay $5,-
600 ransom for Spencer and his wife
Spencer returned to Salazar after
meeting his employers. The Mexi-
can had threatened to kill Spencer's
wife If he failed to come back. The
ransom, it is unders ood, will be
paid in monthly insiallments, and
its payment would insure protection
to the ranch interests from future
raids
