WHEN HER BACK ACHES.
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Charles Town women know how
the aches and pains that often come
when the kidneys fail make life a
burden. Backache, hip pains, head
aches, dizzy spells, distressing uri-
nary troubles, are frequent indica-
lions of weak kidneys and should be
checked in time. Doan's Kidney
Pills are for the kidneys only. They
attack kidney diseases by striking at
the cause. Ask your neighbor!
Here's proof of their merit in a
Charles Town woman's word:
Mrs. j. E. Wilmington, 418 E.
Liberty ST., says: "Last winter a
cold settled on my kidneys and l be-
gan to have trouble with nagging
backaches that did not let up day or

THE MARTINsBURc ROAD.

AT a meeting of the State Road
Commission held in its Office in the
city of Charleston on the Goth day
of December, 1921, the following
order was passed and entered of
record:
Ordered, that the State routes as
ordered designated in accordance
with Chapter LIP of the Acts of
1921 as such in Jefferson county on
August 4th, 1921, be hereby amend
ed to read as follows:
Beginning at the Virginia line on
the Charles Town-Berryville pike
thence with same northerly via
Charles Town, Halltown and Har-
pers Ferry to the Maryland State
line.
Beginning at the Berkeley county
line on the State road leading to
Martinsburg thence to Kearneysville
thence on new location, to be de-
termined by survey, via Ransom to
Charles Town.
Beginning at Kearneysville; thence
via Walper's Crossing to Shepherds
town.
Thus it will be seen that the road
to Martlnsbufg will be built on as
near direct route as possible, and
although the route seems to be very
unsatisfactory to Shepherdstown and
other sections of the County that
desired to be placed on the direct
route, it has the advantage of elimi-
mating three dangerous crossings of
the main line of the B. & O. R. R., as
well as shortening the route. The
spur from Kearneysville to Shep-
herdstown will make a direct route
from Charles Town to Shepherds
town and the Maryland roads via
Sharpsburg
The order above referred to indi-
Gates that the State road will be
completed to the Clarke county line,
and that the Harper's Ferry end will
be comleted. No intimation is
given as to what route through Har-
per's Ferry will be used.

SELLING CONTRACT CATTLE
FELONY.

Selling contract cattle and failing
to deliver the proceeds to the person
holding the lien on them is q felony,
punishable by penitentiary sentence,
a fact which some persons in this
section seem inclined to forget.
The grand jury for the present term
of court has found an indictment
against Mayo F. Santmyer, of this
county, for such a transaction. The
evidence shows that he bought on
September 25, 1919, sixteen head of
cattle from K. w. Buckner, sold
them November 8, about six weeks
later, for 1920 and failed to pay
the purchase money to Mr.. Buckner.
He is said to be out of the county
now, but warrant will be issued
for his arrest and he will be brought
to trial if he can be found.-Loudon

Times such as these demonstrate
the value of a Travellers Annuity.
It is the safest investment for the
elderly man or woman who is forced
to derive living from limited
amount of capital.
A stock or bond yielding nine or
ten per cent is usually Speculative"
But if you are so or more you can
obtain this percentage from Trav-

Hatfield was on his way to court,
to answer to charges that he had in
cited a shooting at Mohawk, mining
camp in the Mingo coal-tield, but in
Mcdowell county, about year be-
fore. With him were his wife, Ed
Chambers and Mrs. Chambers, and
the widows of the two men were
among the important witnesses called
by the state. They declared neither
Hatfield nor Chambers were armed,
and Mrs. Hatfield testified thu. when
the shooting began she ran to the
office of Sheriff William Hatfield of
Mcdowell couny to demand protec-

The defense called a number of
witnesses, who testified that Hatfield
and Chambers began shooting FIRST
and others who repeated threats thew

Among these witnesses was Lee
Toler, who appeared with Hatfield to
answer an indictment for the killing
of Albert Felts in Matewan, a charge
OF which later they were acquitted.
In Williamson at the time of the in

HOPS HELPED BY
RAIN; PICKING
STARTS MONDAY

Picking of fuggle hops In the
Zig Wigrich yards near Independ-
ence will start Monday morning
with a force OF between 200 and
ESQ pickers, according to II. E.
Thayer, who has the picking con-
tract for the yards. Mr.. Thayer,
whose home is near Dallas, where
he is operating a fruit farm, was
in Salem yesterday for treatment
of broken arm he suffered in a
fall from a cherry tree three
weeks ago.
Early predictions that the hop
crop would fall far short of last
year have been dissipated by the
recent rains Mr.. Thayer says. He
claims that this years yield will
be fully equal to that of last year.
The fuggles, he declares, will be
clean and OF very good quality, al
though not large IN size.
The late hops will benefit most
from the recent rains, says Mr.
Thayer and should size up well
before picking starts. He expects
to finish on the fuggles and have
his crews at work on the late hops
during the first week in septem-
ber.
During the height of the season
Mr.. Thayer says that he expects to
have from 600 to $50 pickers at
work in the yards.

FIRE LOSSES AT

trict early Wednesday morning
place the total damage at slightly
in excess of $4,000, part OF which
is covered by insurance.
Pending the arrival of the in

rebuilding. Vacant buildings in
