Many people never suspect, their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they chink it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure dropsy or Bright's disease. The dropsy or Birght's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It is for ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Bamberg people testify to permanent cures. E. Dickinson, Bridge St., Bamberg, S. C., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills did so much for me that I can strongly recommend them. I was subject to attacks of backache and pains across my loins and my kidneys did not act regularly. I took Doan's Kidney Pills, as directed, getting them from the Peoples Drug Co. and they benefitted me in every way. My kidneys are now in a normal condition and 1 n m.??n a<55 and soreness in mv back has disappeared." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

' The Columbia correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says politics are certain in South Carolina and yet .politics are uncertain to the politicians. The present pblitical situation is one of suspense. The politicians are waiting for something to turn up; and the thing that is going to turn up may be the genera^ assembly and its result early in January and it may be a common announcement from some man that he will enter the field for an office. The gubernatorial situation seems to be clearly defined with the present governor and Ira B. Jones, the only candidates in view. tJut wan?until after the legislature has convened and adjourned, maybe sooner; there are several others who want to enter that race. They just naturally cannot resist. They want to try their hand again. They are "going to try and come back." So far all of the "big interest" has been centered around the race for governor, although there will be a race for a bigger and much more desirable office?that of the United States senate. The question arises: Will those who have been infected by the senatorial bee stand i<jly by and see the race between B. R. Tillman and Jasper Talbert? There are several South Carolinians more or less known for various characteristics who are keen to enter the race for the senate, and it is a safe prediction that there will be at least six candidates in the campaign next year. This important feature arises: What is the physical condition of Senator Tillman? Is he able physically to make a strenuous campaign? Has he political strength enough "to sit on his back porch and let the wool hat boys elect him?" These questions are vital and are being considered by all of the buzzing bee diseased individuals who ' have fond hopes for the senatorial toga. Here is the situation: Jones, Tillman, Blease and Talbert are each and every man a product of the reform movement that swept the State several years ago?that is about 20 years ago. In those days they were closely aligned, and then or later all played important parts?with the exception of the present governor?in administering 'the affairs of this State. Seantor Tillman was the leader of the movement; Colonel Talbert was his chief lieutenant, and Ira B. Jones was the first speaker of the Tillman house. The present governor was a young legislator in the ranks of the reform party. Now, here are some names that must be considered before the curtain has been rung up on that senatorial fight. A. F. Lever, of Lexington, congressman from the Seventh congressional district; Martin F. Ansel, two times governor of the State and well known attorney of Greenville; R. G. Rhett, former mayor of unarieston, ana once canaiaaie ior the senate; Howard B. Carlisle, well known attorney of Spartanburg; .Lewis W. Parker, well known cotton manufacturer; John Gary Evans, former governor and defeated candidate for the senate* and maybe D. C. Heyward former governor. All of these candidates or nearcandidates, are well known in South Carolina and have one claim or another on the public for some kind of service rendered. At least for of them will be in the race with Senator Tillman and Colonel Talbert?that is almost certain. The curtain will be pulled up ijext summer and the stage will be the county seats in the State of South Carolina; the audience will be the 110,000 voters. SHOOTS YOUNG GIRL. Fearful Deed of Young Man in Augusta, Georgia. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 15.?Crazed by jealousy, Ed J. Brazell, a white cotton mill operative, 42 years old, shot and killed Carrie Belle Duncan, a 16year-old girl, in the presence of BrazelL's sick . wife this morning. Before the man could reload the singlebarrelled shotgun and turn the weapon on himself, his wife, though weak and feverish from illness, wrestled with him and prevented him from accomplishing his purpose. Officers soon arrived and placed Brazell under arrest. Brazell and his wife and the dead girl and her family lived in the same tenment house. He was enamored with the girl, and was insanely, jealous because of her alleged acceptance of attentions from another man. While the Duncan girl was in the room with the wife and just after she prepared breakfast for the Brazells the husband seized a gun and blew the girl's brains out. The wife is prostrated and Brazell refuses to talk, although letters found in his pocket stated that he loved the girl, was jealous of other men, and that Ije intended to kill her and end his own life. ESCAPES WITH WRONG TWIN. Planned to Wed Mary, But Took Sister Betty by Mistake. Capt. Harry R. Edwards, of the schooner May H., eloped from Kent Tsland Monday night with Miss Betty Harrison, daughter of G. F. Harrison, n fp.rmer who lives near AnaDolis. Ind. Edwards spent his vacation last summer at a house near that of the Harrisons, who had twin daughters. People living on the island have often mistaken one of them for the other and that was what Edwards did when he eloped Monday night. He landed from the schooner intending to elope with Mary Harrison. He met Betty first, and thinking she was Mary hurried her off to a parson and then aboard the schooner. The schooner is somewhere in Chesapeake Bay, with Edwards and his wife aboard, headed for Baltimore, while Mary is mourning the fate that leaves her a single woman. It was reported last summer that Betty was jealous of the attention paid her sister by Edwards, and it is believed she learned Edwards was going to marry Mary, and decided the best way to stop it was to marry him herself.

Washington, Nov. 10.?That the Panama canal will be ready for service by or possibly sooner than January 1, 1914, a year earlier .than the original estimated date, is the startling announcement made in the annual report of the Isthmian Canal commission, submitted to Secretary of War Stinson by Col. George W. Goethals, chairman of the commission and chief engineer. Legislation for establishment of +Vi/* nonol fr\T arnvom. IU11D 1U1 UOC U1 IUU Lauui) iVI gvv ment of the canal zone, for forming a force to operate the canal and for military defenses, "should be provided without delay," recommended the committee, because of the expected earlier opfning of the canal. The committee recommended that to avoid possibilities of accident which might render the canal useless, the government assume charge of all vessels during their transit of the locks; under such conditions any damage that may result to the vessels should be assumed by the government and legislation looking to this end is necessary. "The revenues of the canal," suggested the committee, "should go to pay not only the operating expenses, but to repay the capital invested. Every legitimate means for increasing the revenue should therefore be adopted. ine government snuuiu have coal and fuel oil on hand for its own vessels, and these commodities should be sold to shipping using the canal. These should be supplied at an established rate and purchased after advertisement. The existing commissary, manufacturing plant and laundry should be continued for the benefit of government forces and to furnish supplies and service to' shipping. A wireless telegraph station should be established for commercial as well as military purposes. The canal authorities should be authorized to sell tools and appliances needed by ships, and to make repairs as may be necessary while ships are in the vicinity of the canal. A dry dock should be built with dimensions conforming to the locks. Both the dry docks and the machine shops would be available for use by the navy. If this policy is to be adopted, early legislation is needed in order that the construction necessary to make it effective may be undertaken without delay." WOUNDED IN THE LEG. Man Named Graham Fatally Injured in Row Near Easley. Easley, Nov. 16.?A white man named Graham, received a fatal wound in the leg in a disturbance in the George's Creek settlement, near here, Tuesday afternoon. Graham died early this morning. The two other men said to be involved were Thomas and Guy Elrod, father and son. These two have made off. Rumors are to the effect that the quarrel grew from jealousy on the part of the Elrods. The woman in question it seems was in the habit of going to Graham's house several times a week to clean up his quarters. For some reason unknown the other two men objected to this and so yesterday afternoon the three were in a corn field together when they again brought up the subject, it is said. About an hour after the shooting took place Graham was found at the scene of the accident, unable to move, as he was almost frozen from the long exposure. He norriod trv hl'o Vl All GO immpHiatpTv ? ao VH41 1 l^U VV/ AAA*? 11VU0V llllill VV4 4M.VV<^ and medical aid summoned. The physician did not think the wound serious, but from the shock he died some time early Wednesday morning. The two Elrods were seen late Tuesday afternoon near Gossett's store, where they purchased some shells for the shotgun which they carried. They were going toward the mountains.
