D. S. Yandiver. Manager 5EL, Agents, i, s. c. B wm? . wwmv^ow AH^Skt LC ifot'' Governor Appoints Township Cont- . missloncra In Face of Law. Columbia, April 10.-Governor Blease 'to-day appointed a board of township commissioners for Beau fort county. With two exceptions the names are different from those fixed by an act of the General As sembly al its recent session. The Supreme Court, will decide on the le gality of 'tho appointments. In 1911 Senator Christensen rec ommended the Governor certain names for appointment on this board. The Governor ignored the recom mendations and appointed others. At the legislative session this year Senator Christensen got through a bill which abolished the Governor's hoard and named others. Thus a new board was created by law. The appointments made by the Governor to-day ignore this law and name others. Attorney General Lyon says he will institute a case in the Supreme Court at its session this month to test which board ls legally appointed. The Attorney General recently advis ed the Supervisor of Beautfort. coun ty to recognize the hoard named in special law and sta'ed that he thought the courts would uphold him. WALHALLA PROOF Should Convince IO very Walhalla Heilder, The frank statement, of a neigh bor, telling Hie merits of a remedy, Bids you pause and believe. The same endorsement By some stranger far away Commands no belief at all. Here's a Walhalla case. A Walhalla citizen test i fl er. Bead and bo convinced. .Mrs. Ida Mcllams, Factory HUI, Walhalla. S. C., says: "Wo have used Doa n's Kidney Bills in our fam ily with excellent results and I know that they livo up to tho claims made for them. They wero obtained from Dr. Bell's drug store and used for pains in the back and sides and troubt'j willi the kidney secretions. Complete and lasting relief was re ceived." Mrs. Heliums is only ono of many Walhalla people who have gratefully endorsed Dean's Kidney Bills. If your back aches-li your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy- ask distinctly 'for Dean's Kidney Bills, tho same that Mrs. Hellams had--the remedy back ed by home testimony. 50c., at. all stores.
