A CLEAR COMPLEXION
Buddy Cheeks-Sparkling Eyes Most Women Can Have
Says Dr. Edwards, a Weil-Known
 Ohio Physician

Dr. F. M. Edwards for IT years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave to his patients a prescription made of few well-known vegetable ingredients mixed with olive oil, naming them Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. You will know them by their olive color.
 These tablets are wonder.workers on the liver and bowels, which cause a normal action, carrying off the waste and poison- ous matter in ones system.
 If you have pale face, sallow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, headaches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets nightly for a time and note the pleasing results.
 Thousands of women as we'll as men take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the suc- cessful substitute for calomel--now and then just to keep in the pink of condition. - A. = sAAssaA

BUYS STAMPS TO
 KEEP FACTORY UP
DeCrOn SarkeSian Proves Himself
 Real Nephew of Uncle Sam

Factory Thrift Stamp sales show notable improvement during the week except in the case of Russell & Err win and Beaton and Caldwell. which still persist in making goose egg re- ports each week.
 In reporting the sales of the Sktn- ner Chuck Co.,. a week ago, through a misunderstanding the total sales to oate were put at $190 too much. Tn order not to reduce the standing of the company in making the report this week, an appeal was made to the agents who are selling the stamps to make an extra effort so the total this week would reach last weeks wrong figures. AS result of the eX- tra effort five sales were made to Decron Sarkesan for $500 worth of the stamps, so the company instead Of having to move down a peg went forward $391. Mir. Sarkesian's pa triotic action was highly appreciated by the whole body of employees. The publicity manager of the campaign will be glad to receive any further erroneous reports from any of the shops, if they are corrected in this sort of fashion.

THE PRESIDENT DEFENDS BYRNES
AGAINST ATTACKS OF HIS OPPONENTS
Expresses Absolute Confidence in Ills Loyalty to the
Administration.-Says Byrnes is One of the
Strongest and Most Dependable Men
In The House,

Because of embarrassment the
president has suffered by reason or
letters written to South Carolina dur
ing this campaign the president some
time ago announced in letter to
Mr.. L. D. Jennings that he would not
interfere in local party contests.
However the attacks made upon
Congressman Byrnes by his oppon-
ents have given such genuine regret
to the President that he has sent a
message to the voters of the second
district through Congressman Glass,
of Virginia. Mr.. Glass is the chair
man of the Banking and Currency
committee of the house; he is the.
author of the Federal Reserve Bank
Act and also of the Federal Farm
Loan Act. Mr.. Glass is also the
secretary of the National Democratic
committee, and is regarded as the
mouthpiece of the president in con-
gress. His letter was read by Con-
gressman Byrnes at the campaign
meeting in Aiken, and is as follows:
House of Representatives, Com
mittee on Banking and. Currency,
Washington, July 80, 1918.
Hon. James F. Byrnes, Aiken, S. c.
My Dear Byrnes:-I had occa-
sion to go to the White House today
and in conversation with the presi-
dent 1 mentioned the fact that you
were being assailed as disloyal to the
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-08-08

I suggested that it
might not be inappropriate, in the
circumstances, to requite your devo-
tion by writing letter in commenda-
tion of your course. His reply was
that if he could do this for YOU, and
stop right there, it would give him
genuine pleasure to attest, in that
way, your loyalty; but the difficulty
he said, arises from the fact that he
has scores of such requests in be-
half of other members, compliance
with which would involve him un-
pleasantly in local party contests all
over the country.
The president genuinely regrets
that you are being bothered by criti-
cisms of disloyalty AND EXPRESS
LY CHARGED ME- TO TELL YOU
so. He does not doubt your fidelity
for an instant. He stated to me to-
day that while he disagreed with the
judgment of those congressman who
voted for the volunteer section, he
never for moment thought them less
loyal than those of us who voted
against it. The President highly re-
CARDS you as one of the strongest and

"Byrnes is a splendid fellow" is the
exact expression he used in talking
to me about you today.

PURDY AND SHAW FALLEN.
Sumter Mourns Loss of Brave Men
in France.

Sumter, Aug. 1.-The Sumter
community was much moved this
afternoon by the news that Lieut..
Robert o. Purdy has been killed in
France and that Lieut.. Erwin Shaw,
of the aviation corps, was missing.
The, official telegram to Judge r. O.
Purdy said that Robert had met his
death on July 21, and the official tel
egram to D. G. Shaw said that Erwin
had been missing since the 9Th of
last month.
Robert Purdy, eldest son Of Judge
R. o. Purdy, was twenty-seven years
of age and was a graduate of the
State University, where he finished
at law in 1914. He entered his faith
er's law firm and practiced here until
last spring, when he went to the first
training camp at Fort Oglethrope.
On receiving his commission, he vol
unteered for service abroad and sail
ed in September. He had seen
active service nearly all the time he
was away in France. A few months
ago he was gassed. After getting
out Of the hospital he was given light
duty, but at his own request, was
sent back to his regiment on the
firing line. A brother, Lieut. VIM.
Purdy, is now in France.
Erwin Shaw, eldest son of D. C..
Shaw, was twenty years of age.
Qualifying for the air service, he
was sent to camp in Ohio, where he
finished with a fine record. About a
year ago he was sent to Oxford to
complete his flying. After work
there and in Scotland he has been
fighting with the British airmen at
the front. He was a Davidson and a
Georgia Tech graduate and after
leaving college was in the automobile
business in Sumter until he left for
the service.

KILLED HER HUSBAND.
Put the Body in a Well.-Homicide
is Yelled in Mystery.

Lafayette, Ca, Aug 3.-Addition-
al statements by Mrs. William Cor
nish, whose husbands mutilated
body was found yesterday in an old
well near Estelle Mines, Ca, led to
the arrest today of Wes Hobbs, a
neighbor of the family and widower
of Mrs. Cornish's sister. Mrs. Cor
nish has told several conflicting sto-
ries relative to the crime, according
to the police, her latst confession
stating that Hobbs committed the
deed, while she assisted. Hobbs is
being held pending Investigation.
According to the woman's latest
story the murder was committed on
the night of May 10, about 10
o'clock. The police summarized her
story as follows:
Cornish had beaten her severely
on several successive days and that
she determined to end his life.
On the night of the killing she got
an axe and, with Hobbs, entered the
room where her husband slept. At
one stroke Hobbs severed her hus-
bands head from his body. She as
sisted Hobbs in cutting off the limbs
of the dead man and then placed
the limbs in one sack, the trunk in
another and the head in a third;
that they hid the three packages
above the fireplace until morning.
After the four children of the fam
lily had gone to school the sacks were
removed, weighted down with rocks
and dropped into the we'll. A few
days later Mrs. Cornish left her
home and went to reside with the
Hobbs family. Another family NOV
ed into the abandoned house. Por-
tions of the body rose to the surface
of the water in the we'll last week,
leading to the discovery of the crime.
When Cornish first disappeared it
was reported that he had killed a
man named Avery and left the coun-
try. Avery later appeared and neigh
bors began to suspect Mrs. Cornish
of having knowledge of her hus-
bands fate. Another man named
named Colts was arrested in connec-
tion with the case today, but was
later released. The fourteen-year-
old son of the Cornish family insist
ed that he. knew of the killing, but
the mother said he was asleep at the
time. The former Cornish home was
inspected today and dark spots were
found on the floor of the bed room,
which, on analysis, proved to be
blood stains. In one of the spotches
was a footprint.
