I was afflicted with a very bad
case of Eczema for twenty-five
years, which was in my feet,
legs and hips. Through all this
time I tried different remedies
and Doctors' prescriptions, obtaining
no relief until I used
your HUNT'S CURE.
One box (50c) cured me en^

Naturally I regard it as the

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Bamberg Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.
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."

WANT THE TOGA.
Will Four More Oppose Tillman for
the Senate?
' 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.

Panama Canal to be Completed Earlier
Than Expected.
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

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.
Burglars broke into the millinery
store of Miss Carrie Cave, of Barnwell,
on Monday night and stole $47
in money and a large quantity of valuable
furs, cloaks, suits, etc.
