TO WASBING TON'S MEMORY .Mount Yernon, April 29.--Great Britain toddy publicly paid homage to the mentory of the man who :led the struggle for American - Independence and tore one of the brightest jewels from her crown when Minister Bal four placed a wreath on Washington's tomb. "M. Viviani," said Mr. Balfour, "has expressed in most eloquent words the feelings Which grip us all here today. He has not only paid a fitting tribute to a great statesman, but he has brought our thoughts most vividly down to the present. The thousands who have given their lives, French, Russian, Italian, Belgian, Serbian, Montenegrin, Rumanian, Japanese and British were fighting for what ,they believed to be the cause of lib erty. "There is no place in the world where .a speech for the cause of lib erty would be better placed than here at the tomb of Washington. But as that work has been no adequately done by a master of oratory, perhaps you will permit me to read a few wordp prepared by the British mis sion for the wreath we are to leave here today. "'Dedicated by the British mission to the immortal memory of George Washington, soldier, statesman, pa triot, who would have rejoiced to see the country 'of which he was by birth a citizen and the country which his genius called into existence, fighting side by side to save mankind from subjection to a military despotism.'

Boat Carrying Victims of Near Dou ble Tragedy Capsized Near' Lake City in Lynches River. Lake City, April 28.-Willie Poston, sixteen-year-oldl son of Mr. A. J. Poston, who lives near Leo, proved himself a real hero yesterday after noon when he saved from dIrowning in Lynches river Miss Mattie Pressley andl Mr. Laurie Burch. These two young people were rowving in the river near Smith's bridge when the boat sudd~enly capsized and they were thrown into the river. No one was near them at the time, but Willie Poston was in the swamp some dis tance away. Attracted by their cries for help he worked his way through the woods to where Miss Pressley and Mr. Burch wvere strugglinb in the wvater. Some time had elapsed since the boat had capsized and as neit her of the young people couldl swim they were in imminent dlanger. '.liss Pressley was undler for the second time w'hen young P'oston arrivedl on the bank, and seeing only Mlr. Burch in the water he at once jump~ed in to rescue him. lie succeeded in dloing this after a struggle, butA looking back he sawv Miss Pressley's hair as she was going under for the third time. Promptly jumping into the water again he caught her by the hair andi succeeded in getting her near the bank, where a companion pulledl her on shore. Mr. Burch statedl afterwards that he was giving up when he heard Poston coming andl madle another ef fort to stay up until the boy could get there. Miss Presley, who is from Chester, has been teaching school near the Poston home. She seemed to be lit tle the worsh for her experience and took the train here thIs morning for her home. Her school ended its ses sion a few days ago, andl it was in connection with the closing that a picnic was given near Smith's bride. nale DAYS SUITS E'COST Price.

BACKING UiP PROO[ The Kind That Manning People Can not Decny. Many an earnest Manning man or woman has publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. Week after week, month after month you've readl their statements. Would th ese Maniing people recomn mend any medicine if it wvere not goodl? Would they confirm and repeat their statements after years had passed ? Local proof is gooAl evidence. Tfestimony confirmedl years after is better evidence. The followving Manning wvoman's statement leaves no room for dloubt. It must convince every kidney suf ferer who readls it. If your back aches-If your kidneys are weak, profit by what Mrs. R. L. Logan says: "For a long time, I had been troubled with my kidneys. I suffered from a lame and aching back and dlidn't rest well nights. I used a box of D~oan's Kidney Pills andl they relieved me wonderfully. I am feeling much better now." Keeps D~oan's On Hand. Over three years later, Mrs. Logan saidl: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills and they have (lone me a world of goodl. I keel) them on hand and couldn't get along without them."
