ent Kidney adder Specialist. I U«K 7Wi £ ] d r IY CAPTIVE. The Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work In His Laboratory. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it—heart disease, pneumonia, heart tailure or apoplexy are oiapn the result of kidney <hsease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad- *%hce the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, c* the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Then the richness of the blood—the albumen —leaks out and the sufferer has Bright’s Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s S ^mp-Root the new dis covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases, after all other efforts have failed.

After the chicken tho girl served tho cold ham and drank from the canteen again I did likewise Moreover. 1 urged her to wet her lips at the tiask a second time as a further precaution against cold, which she did literally and no more. 1 was liberal rather than literal, for I was a soldier and knew its value. 1 took my blanket from my saddle bow and urged her to wrap it around herself, but she said “No;” that her heavy cloak was sufficient, and she would not deprive mo even if 1 was a misguided rebel 1 saw that she spoke truly, as her cloak was of the most ample character, and so, having uo further compunction, I wrap ped the blanket around me, Indian style, and, sitting down on the dry leaves in front of the fire, leaned my head against the log She eat on the log at the other end, leaning her head against a dead bough which was thrust etraight up in J possession ot any desirable quality what soever, ” I said. “Yon arc improving,” sho replied. 'Perhaps it is due to my society. 1 may i yet make you a loyal follower of King Georg ) and save you from the hang- ! man ' 1 had my doubts about the “loyalty,' i which is a term devised fur tho protec tion of sovereigns in their crimes, but 1 said nothing just then She, too, said nothing more The heap of coals grew and glowed in the depths with deep crimsons and scarlets, throwing out a generous heat and wooing mo to sleep Despite my sense of caution and the ef forts of my will, my eyelids drooped. The castles in the coals became more indistinct and wavered as if they were made of red mist. Old Put whinnied again and raised his head high in the air like one who listens 1 was wide awake in an instant and on my feet again. “Put,’’ I said, “if 1 find that you have given a false alarm a second time you shall have nothing to eat in the morning. ” “I wouldn’t bother about it,” said the girl. “It’s only a squirrel or a rab bit. Any horse would notice the passing of such an animal. Their senses are keener than ours. ” She was growing very considerate of me I But 1 searched the wood again, and finding nothing returned to my old and comfortable place. Old Put was restless and shuffled about; but, angry at his idle alarms, 1 commanded him roughly to keep quiet, and ho obeyed. The girl was humming softly to her self as if she were thinking of her far away English home. I supposed she was lonely and homesick, and again some pity for her crept into my heart “Are you singing of your sweet- heartV”’ 1 asked, meaning to cheer her up “I have imno.” she reolied. mu ;|£?!

She sang it still more softly and gen tly than before, and, though my eyelids drooped again, I turned my eyes from the bed of coals to her face. The fire light played ruddily over her .eyes and cheeks, and the expression there seemed tender and faraway, as if her thoughts had gone from this dark night and tho war torn fields of South Carolina to the green English meadows and peaceful sunshine. When she finished, I raised my hands and clapped them together. “Well done!” I said. “Well done!’’ “Done well enough for us,” said some one, and strong hands readied over the log and grasped me by the wrists. My languor aud my sleepiness were gone in an instant, and I made a powerful effort to wrench myself loose, but I had been taken too suddenly Three or four men flung themselves upon me, and I was crushed under a great weight, while the firm grip was still on my wrists. I managed to deal somebody a heavy kick and heqrd a grunt of pain, hut in a few seconds I was overpowered and, like a wise man, ceased to struggle further. Singularly enough, one of my early thoughts in that moment was of relief that Old Put should prove not to ho a false prophet, having enjoyed such a good character in that respect so long. I had been a fool not to take his warning more seriously. Then I wojldcred why / '!• I l im- VI f* ' * 4 rev the air I had pnt the remains of the provisions back in my saddlebags. Triumphant, warm, well fed, my cheerfulness, my satisfaction with my self, increased. I stared into the bed of red coals and saw figures, pictures, there. Near the center of the bed tho coals had fallen into such shap<* that I could trace distinctly tho epaulets of a general, and I knew that those epaulets were for me. Tho coals crumbled into new shapes and built tho house which was to be mine when the war was vic toriously over and I was ready to retire to it with my honors. She, too, seemed to ho engaged in the same business, for she was staring with half closed eyes into the dreamy coals. “Why are you a rebel?” she asked. “Is it from pure perverseness, for they say all you Americans are so?” “They sa^ j'any things about us in England that are qot true,” I said, “and this is one of them. The English themselves have often been rebels, and their present royal family, one of the worst they have ever bad, and they have had the Btuarts, was placed on the tliroue by a jnst rebellion. ” “You must know, ” she replied, “that in England tho character of tho sov ereign is nothing. It is tho sovereign principle. Tho worse tho sovereign tho better tho court likes him. ” Wo relapsed into silence aud our study of the red coals. Old Put whin nied gently, raised his head and looked beyond the lire, as if he saw’ something in the darkness impenetrable to all hut horse eyes. “I’d better see to that,’'’ I said. “Old Put is not going to give a warning for nothing. He has a character to lose. ” “A wildcat may ho,” she suggested. “Perhaps, hut I’ll see.” I rose, still keeping my blanket wrap ped around me, and ordered her to stay where she was under pain of being hound again. She promised, and I be lieved that she would not stir from her position on tho log. Tho darkness and the desolation were not inviting. I walked out into tho black hank of tho night, hut could neither see nor find anything. I made a complete circuit around the oasis of light from tho fire, and all was peaceful and quiet. I re turned to tho log, ready to scold Old Put for giving a false alarm, but re frained, reflecting that ho might be nervous aud irritable owing to his lack of food. “ What did you find?” asked the girl, looking at mo with bright eyes. “Nothing. ” “I thought you wouldn’t. It was a wildcat or maybe a harmless little squirrel. ” “Aren't you afraid of the wild ani mals?” “Not with such a brave rebel as you near me. ” 1 opened my eyes a little wider and looked at her. It was the first time that she had complimented mo even in that half handed way, and 1 was surprised. “1 thought you 4R1 not aUgv/ mo tho I STARED INTO THE BED 0E RED COALS. "Not now perhaps, but you will have some day. ” “That is a different matter. ” “What kind of a sweetheart would you choose?” “A soldier, a gallant English soldier, one loyal to his king through all. ” She continued to bum her little song, whatever it was. Something stirred in tho wood, and Old Put, despite my pre vious command, whinnied aud stamped his feet “(Jenfound that beast, whatever It may be!’’ I said. “It must bo a wildcat attracted by the light of our lira ” “Let the wildcat go,” sho said. ‘Listen and I will sing you a song that will tell you what my future betrothed aud husband shall ba It’s an old Scotch song of devotion and loyalty, but we English sing it, too, and like it as well as the Scotch. 'Dumbarton’sDrums’ wo call it.” “Sing, ” 1 said. Then she sang; •‘Dumbarton'* drum* beat bonnle O. When they mind me of my dear Johnnie O: How happy am 1 When my aoldier la by, Winlu he lUHsea and blettet-e lit* Annie Ol Tih a soldier alone can deliKht me O, For his graceful look* do invite me O, While guarded in hi* arm* i'll fear uo war’* alarm*.

Ah the melody rose and fell in tho lone ly night my eyes drooped again and my brain became dim with advancing kIuiu- ^ers like a child soothed to sleep by the song of his mother. I was as tired as u dog. 1 had ridden long and far and hud worked much, and every nerve and muscle in mo cried aloud for rest, but I roused myself as she finished and the last note of her song died in tho dark ness. “That is a proper military song,” I said, “and nobly sung, but I object to tho sentiments of your hero. Ho minds no other thing but the ladies or the king. The ladies are all right, but no king! f (cav*) the king out I” Old Put was stamping his feet again. "That’s right, Put,” I said. “Ap plaud the song, for it was well sung, though you aud I, who are good Ameri cans, don't altogether like the senti ments. That, I take it, is an old song of loyalty to the btuarts. It is a singular tBe girl did hot cry out at tho siglit cTf struggling men and tho sound of oaths and blows, a violent medley usually very terrifying to women. I caught one glimpse of her, and sho was sitting on the log, her back against the up thrust bough, leaning upon it as lazily as if sho were in a rocking chair in a parlor The firelight still played over her face and eyes, but tho soft and tender ex pression which had pleased mo was gone. Instead the look that she turned upon me was a mixture of dislike, malice and triumph. After meeting such a glance it was a relief to me to look another way aud see who had captured mo.

One of Her Best Citizens Taken Away- JAMES TEMPLETON DEAD. I'ueumonia Ended the l.lfe of this Good Man at Twelve o'clock Yesterday. The Funeral and Burial Took Flace Today At Oakland Cemetery. Our city is in mourning again this morning, and well may it be so, for one of its best citizens lies a corpse. A gloom was cast over the entire community yesterday when the t.( w^ spread that Jim Templeton had breathed his last and n< ver again would his familiar figure be seen on our streets. While it hud been whis pered for a day or fwo before that ho was lying at the point of death and was likely to go at any moment, jet the news of his death came as a shock to some and a surprhe to many. Even now it is so hard lo re alize that one, who only ten days ago was a living, breathing spirit among the city’s busy throng in the full en joyment of perfect health, is now un inanimate object und no tnoro than a piece of cloy bearing the faint sem blance of a human being. It seems out of order to sing the praises of a really good man when he is taken from us—one wiio was known by everybody to be the per sonification of all that is good und manly in Human nature; and yet the promptings of our inner stives are so strong at such times that wo want to cover his memory with songs ot praise and affection just as we. scatter flowers over his grave. James D. Templeton was born near Cross Anchor, in Spartanburg coun ty, about forty-one years ugo. When he was a little child his parents both died and he was left to fight the bat tle of life wit hout a father’s guidance or a mother’s tender cure. His father was a Confederate sol dier and died in u Richmond hospital during the war. When his parents died his uncle, Mr. Nat Snead, and two aunts, took charge of him and the family soon moved to Laurens county where they continued to be a father and a mother to the young or phan. About twenty-five years ugo Mr. Snead moved to Gaffney and James, then a young man. came with them. They lived on together until the mar riage of Mr. Snead, who, with his wife, left James wilh his aunts. Since that time he continued to live with them, and no son was ever more loyal and affectionate to his mother than he was to them, and no mother was ever more devoted to her son than were they to him. lie never mar ried, but devoted his life to the care of those who had cared for him. Shortly after coming to Gaffney Mr. Templeton joined the Baptist church at Limestone, and lie re mained a devout and loyal member of that church until his death. He was always present at the church on preaching da>', and uo weather was too bad to keep him away or make him late. He was also treasurer of the church and discharged the duties of that office faithfully and consci entiously—in fact he was faithful and conscientious in all things and was always ready to do anything that he thought his duty require I. He was modest and unassuming in his demeanor, quie-t. gor tie-manly and unobtrusive* in his deportment, genial and affectionate in ids naiure und truly a Christian in Lis charac ter. If he had an enemy iri the world, no one ever heard otic, but his friends were legion. Too much can not be said in his praise. He was a thoroughly good man, and everybody who knew him will voice that senti ment. What more can he said of any man? To say more, is merely to multiply words. His character showed itself every day, and no weak words of praise can portray it moie. Mr. Templeton died at twelve o’clock yesterday. The funer l ser vices were held at eleven o’clock at his home, conducted by Rev. It W. Handers, of Greenville, pastor of Limestone church, who w;:s called here by a telegram. By request of the family he was assisted by Ifev. W. 11. Hodges, of this city. ’ After the funeral the body was laid to rest in Oakland cemetery. Aud thus we bid an eternal farewell to all that was earthly of Jam's D. Templeton. Whether or not we shall ever meet him in another form, we do not know; but he will liv; In our memory for a long, long time lo come. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. r- 1 - 1 "■ .
