the husband and father, Mr. Ben Wil#

Shoals. Ail four, husband, wife and

RICKEXBACHER PREMIER ACE.
'V 'A "
Ohio Man Brought Down 26 Enemy
Airplanes.
BlPk
Washington, Jan. 10.?Capt. Edward
V. Rickenbacher, of Columbus,
Of Ohio, once famous as an autombile
driver, was the premier "ace" of the
American air forces in France, having
twenty-six enemy planes to his
credit. An official report received
today at the War Department showed
that there were twenty-three "aces"
?men downing five or more enemy
machines?in the American army
when the war ended.
Capt. Peed G. Landis, of Chicago,
and First Lieut. David E. Putnam, of
Brookline, Mass., who was killed in
action, had twelve victories each.
In the list appears the name of
Capt Elliott W. Springs, the only
South Carolinian on the list, who had
nine enemy planes to his credit.

C. A. overseas service and seventy- ,
, two Sbuth Carolinians in camps and ]
cantonments in this country. To the ]
first Y. M. C, A. campaign $17,486 ,
was given, and td the second cam- ,
paign $170,130. South Carolina was ;
ashed for $905,730 in the united war ,
work campaign, and despite the fact ,
that the armistice has been signed,
gave $1,146,000, oversubscribing the (
State's quota by nearly a quarter of
a million dollars.

of the Red Cross Christmas
roll call, the figures for which are

"Summing up, South Carolina's
contribution in money toward financing
the war, through liberty loans
and war savings stamps, and the humanitarian
and welfare wbrk incident
to the war, through the Red Cross
and the Y. M. C. A. and other agencies,
very nearly approaches the hundred
million mark?to be exact, $95,840,541."

Pthe women in the fourth loan the
women's comhiittee reported $9,992,750
subscribed through their efforts,
with 41,082 subscribers. \
''In addition the people of South
Carolina have responded to the appeals
of the national government and
* ; v have bought unsparingly of war savings
stamps. They have pledged
%themselves to buy $13,745,249 worth
>>: of war savings stamps. Of the
J amount the negroes of the State have
pledged themselves to buy more than
a million and a quarter. There are
296,253 individual pledges, of which
220,188 are white people. The
pledges made total $8.30 per capita,
which applies in proportion to the
races $16.06 per capita to the whites,
| and $1.48 per capita to the negroes.
Seventeen and eight-tenths per cent
of the population of the State are
pledged to buy war savings stamps,
but when the figures are analyzed it
is shown that 28.3 per cent of the
^riiite population is pledged as
? , against 8.7 per cent of the negro
v population.
Red Cross Quotas Oversubscribed.
"In both the Red Cross campaigns,
of 1917 and 1918, the people of
South Carolina oversubscribed their
Auotas; giving a total of $1,590,221
in the two campaigns, $318,000 in
1917 (when the quota for the State
i y.. was $300,000) and $1,272,221 in
$?*, v 19L8. This year the quota was $400,- "
000^ The people of South Carolina ^
gave, therefore, more than three :
times what they were asked. j
"But not in dollars alone can the 1
Red Cross work of the State be fig- .
ured. In South Carolina there are {
sixty-one organized chapters of the
Red Cross, with a total membership
of 80,647, covering every county in
the State. The Red Cross workers
of South Carolina have had ten men ?|
.and twenty women in overseas work. 1

1, Men's Christian Association and other
agencies?the people of South Carolina
have also given liberally, both
in men and money. There have been
eighty South Carolinians in the Y. M. j

DESTROYS SLEEP
Many Bamberg People Testify to
This.
You cant sleep at night.
With aches andi pains of a had
back.
Wheoi you have to get up from I
urinary troubles.
If the kidneys are at fault
Set them working righ^ with Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Here is Bamberg proof of their
meritL.
B. Fow&er, contractor and builder,
Church St., says: "I have found
Doan's Kidney Pills to be a mighty
fine kidney and bladder medieine and
have tofld a great many people to
try them. Some eight years ago 1
was in awful shape with my kidneys.
The action of these organs was scanty
and weak and the secretions unnatural
and highly colored. Nights
I had to get up several times and
mornings I felt all tired out and weak.
My sleep didn't seem to refresh me
any. I was in a bad shape. My
back was as stiff as leather and eo
lame thaft I oouwmt Deuel over. My
kidneys hurt all the time and were
in an awtul poor condition. I started
to take Doan's Kidney Fills and they
were what my kidney? needed, for
they rid me of all this trouble and
fixed me up in A-l shape again."
