S. S. Reillk during a heavy gale on the .ar morning of December 17. Mackenzie lo. sat on the bomb and clung to a rail be line until the bomb had been made co safe. It is believed he saved the ship ha from destruction. The Remlik, which spelled backward th gives the name of its former owner, G Willis Sharp Kilmer, wealthy New York state yachtsman andl horseraan, de who presented the trim speedy vessel th to the navy's patrol service at the do outbreak of the war, was tossing in a heavy sea when the bomb, weighing several hundred p~oundls, broke from the box where it was lashed near the stern. As it bounded across the deck, the ;Cr safety pin broke from Its socket. The 1)p1 loss of the safety pin made the bomb to "alive". As the er~y of alarm wvent se up Mackenzie yelled, "watch me; I'll stop her." St Three times he tried to get a strani- re gle hold on the unwieldy and slip - re. pery engine of destruction, but each time it broke away. The yacht, built for speed, and of narrow beam, rolled foi heavily, but Mackenzie kept after the gr bomb. On his fourth trial he held the Le< big explosive container and despite an the weight and the heavy seas which wi broke about him maintained his post an until lash ropes had been fastened.

J wvould have to get up a good deal (lur ing the night to pass5 the kidney secre tions which were highly colored and containedl a brick-dlust like sediment. I suffered cons~antly with backaches andl there were sharp pains across my loins. My back ached badly and I certainly was in misery. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they gave me splendid relief, making me feel better in every wvay." NEARLY TEN YEARS LATER, or on February 15, 1918, Mr. White saidl: "It is always a pleasure to re commendl Doan's Kidney Pills.

Fremont, O.--"I was passing through the critical period. of life, being forty six years of age and had all the symp toms incidenttothat change-heat flash es, nervousness, and was in a general run down condition, so it was hard for me to do my work. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound was recom mended to me as the best remedy for my troubles, which it surely proved to be. I feel better and stronger in every way since taking it, and the annoying symptoms have disap peared." - Mrs. M. GODDEN, 925 Na poleon St., Fremont, Ohio. Such annoying symptons as heat flashes, nervousnss, backache, head ache, irritability and "the blues," may be speedily overcome and the system restored to normal conditions by this famous root and herb remedy Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If any complications present them selves write the Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass., for suggestions how to overcome them.

I, Through this regulation it is hoped hv the Food Administ-ation that that there will be, a supply of sugar sufficient to meet the needs of the people for canning and preserving, which is regarded as a very import ant means of conservation of food. -W-S-S WAR SAVINGS STAMPS Commencing May 1, the price of War Savings Stamps will be $4.16 each, instead of $4,15, :he price dur ing April. The price advances one cent each succeeding month during 1918. This is because the stamps in crease in value, and while they cost more, they can likewise be redeemed for more. A stamp purchased in April for $4.15, for instance, can be redeemed in May for $4.16. The price of Thrift Stamps will be the same 25c-all the year. Charleston- "County organization is the key to success in the War Sav ings movement," was the message brought to South Carolina by P. M. Rca, State Vice-Director of Wdr Sav ings, on returning from a convention of State Directors, held last week at Birmingham. Mr. Rea stated further that in the matter of county organiza tion South Carolina compared very favorably with any of the Southern States. While Mr. Rea was at the conven tion, the news reached him. that South Carolina had at last passed the $100, 000 mark in weekly sales of War Sav ings stamps and it was very cheering news. Mr. Rea found that the War Savings organization in South Caro 'lina was superior to several of the Southern states, and from the views and experiences aired at the meet ing it was agreed that effective coun ty organizations were needed above states. Several of the countyxte,all all other things by the Southern states. Several of the county War Savings committees in the state are in splendid shape, but others are (defec tive. It is hoped that in a short while evry county in the state wvill have an aggressive, efficient conimmittee. "The signs in South Carolina are very encouraging," Mr. Rea stated. "We have two big goals: first, to get everybody started in the purchase of War Savings stamps; second, to re mind them to purchase constantly. This is absolutely necessary if South Carolina is to absorb its quota of $32,000,000 worth of stamps." ORANGEBURG SUN SOLDl Mr .Arthu r Fielc's Purchases Plant and liuiness Oraingeburg, Apri!
