CATARRH OF HEAD, NOSE
AND THROAT KEPT HER
HAWKING ALL THE
TIME. DRECC GAVE
RELIEF

Read the words of Mrs. w. 0. Boho,
who resides at 34S Oak Street, Ath-
ems, Ca, one of the. most highly re-
spected women Of that community:
"Dreco is unparalleled for relieving
pain. sickness and suffering. No one
knows how l suffered from that awful
catarrh of the head, nose and stom-
ach, and the collection of mucus in
my stomach, which nauseated me and
caused vertigo and ringing noises in
my head that nearly drove me mad.
When I rose in the morning almost
vomited from the droppings that
would cause me to gulp and swallow.
My throat and tonsi1s became raw
all swollen and red. I felt miserable
all over; tired and nervous.
when read about Dreco it meant
nothing to me except a. medicine
spoken highly of, but, oh my! it il,
so different now. l want to tell you
all. take it like I did, and see. You
will be convinced and overjoyed By
the results"
Dreco is made from juices and ex-
tracts of many medicinal herbal
plants which act on the vital organs
in pheasant and prompt. manner.
Dreco is highly recommended in
Sumter by Sibert's Drug Store.-Advt.

The, Auto Races Friday.

Nearly every one, said they were
good races and close enough to fur
nish plenty of excitement.
The National car driven by r. j.:
Rurkett was the star of the day. win
ming first in the one mile. second in.
the five mile. first in the ten mile. and
first in the fifty mile race. j. ID.
Bethea in a Chalmers did some prat-
ty driving and pushed the National
hard in each event. winning second in
the mile, first in the five mile, second
in the ten mile and second in the fifty
mile race.
The fifty mile race was the most
exciting event of the day and the win
ner was in doubt up until the last few
laps. The Buick led at the start but
had to drop out after the first few
miles on account of trouble. From
then on the field narrowed down and
after thirty miles it was plain to be
seen that the race lay between the
National and Chalmers. Mile after
mile it was nip and tuck between these
two cars with three more still in the
running and going stronger. Finally
the Chalmers ran hot and had to stop
for water when the National gained
more than a lap which position he
held to the end Of the race. running
the last few miles with a broken rear
spring Much credit is due the boys
for the driving, nerve and gameness
they put up on a track which was not
in the best of condition for racing.
While this did not interfere with the
interest in the races, better time could
have been made if the track had been
harder. The day was ideal for racing
and not an accident marred the sport.
The attendance was estimated at about
| three thousand.
Following are the events and win
