7 Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the b'eoci in your body passes through your kidn v* 0 -*° e every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. 1; used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized.

Jones J. Darby, Agt. Gaffney, S. C. INDUSTRIAL WAR IN THE “WINDY CITY" Both Mayor and Sheriff Prepar- To Give the Signal WHICH WtLL JAR CHICAGO CITY State Troops Held In Readiness to Check Any Advances Which May Be Made by the Strikers—Peace Signs Are Fading Away. Chicago, May 24.—The industrial war, with a possibility of martial law looming up iu the backgrouud, and describes the sttuatkm which threat ens Chicago today, as a result of the teamsters’ strike. Peace prospects have faded away, the express companies having refused to retreat one inch from their previous ly anounced position. Employers and teamsters are prepared for a fight 01 indefinite length. Mayor Duane and Sheriff Barrett are prepared to give the signal whit will bring the, state troops into the streets of the city at the first indica tlon of an outbreak, and Governor Den- een is ready to respond to the call at almost a second’s notice. The lumber dealers’ aggressively transformed threatened strikes into virtual lockouts. A dozen lumber companies were quickly added to those previously involved in the ramifications of the teamsters’ strike. In each ease orders to deliver material to the strike-bound firms brought a refusal from the drivers. Discharge of tht driver followed instantly with quick retaliation ensuing in a strike of his fellow teamsters. The strikers to day made idle practically all of th- large yards in the district. "Ninety-five per cent of the lumber business in the city is crippled,” de clared Secretary Hooper, of the Lum bermen’s association. “It is only a matter of a short time when the per cent of the building operations of the city will cease. We are now calling on the employers’ association for team Biers and till we get them the build ing business will necessarily suffer.” International President C. P. Shea of the Teamsters’ union, announced bis intention today to dety federal Judge C. C. Kohlsaat and master in Chan cery, Sherman, by persisting in refus ing to answer questions at the re sumption of the hearing of alleged vio lation of the strike injunctions. Pit Ident Shea based his determination up on the fact that to answer might tend to incriminate him. The strike lead er declared that he would suffer him self to be sent to jail for contempt rather than answer the questions. Rel ative to the prospect of calling out ol state troops, Mr. Shea said: “Let them call the troops. That will not alter the situation as far as the teamsters are concerned. ThS team sters are not interfering with the oper ations of wagons on the streets and not. Neither will the strike be spread to any great extent. We are using our best effort to keep it within its present limits.” In announcing his refusal to be questioned by the master in chancery, Mr. Shea said: I think they intend to send me to jail. Anyhow, I am not going to an swer the questions before the master. 1 will do my own thinking. The law gives me that right. I honestly be lieve the questions will tend to incrim inate me. I might as well go to jaii for contempt as for conspiracy. J can run the strike from the jail.” Continuing, Mr. Shea said: “Th ■ soldiers will not affect the strike break ers. It would seem to me that the business men of Chicago would not want the soldiers here. With a lot of the soldiers here. With a lot of young ifien unaccustomed to scenes of excitement, armed with deadly weap ons. life will be in danger. At any rate, thousand? of people Intending to come to Chicago to buy gods will be frightened away, and the effect will he' serious to many business men. Rut personally I have nothing to sayi againsi the soldiers coming.” Day Current Turned On. Conyers, Ga„ May 24.—The day cur-11 rent from the electric plant has been ] turned on. Conyers has good power and light now. The day current will ] be used to run the machinery for the; different mills and fans around town In the business houses and residences.!

Chicago, May 24.—Anton Pitra, the treasurer of the American Buhaing. Loan and Homesteac] association, b missing, and an investigation of his books is said to have revealed a short- j age of about >11,000. Pitra was as prominent Bohemian resident of Chi cago. Parkhurst Goes to Liverpool. New York, May 24.—Rev. Dr. Chaa. H. Parkhurst sailed for Liverpool to- day on the White Star liner Baltic. He will remain abroad until September. E. S. Willard, the actor, also sailed on the Baltic. THE UNION CENTRAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY “The Great Policy-Holders' Company'' Conditions in policies of THE UNION CENTRAL as interpreted by a local concern; thanking them for their intelligent services, and assuming the conditions as given to be correct, we again give them below for purpose of emphasizing them: naaasmm Cash Value-- Guaranteed at the end of twenty years. Death Claims-- Payable within sixty days after satisfactory proof of death. Dividends— Payable at the end of second year. Grace in Payment of Premiums— , No provision. The Company will accept notes in payment of premiums if application is made on or before date premium falls due. Incontestability- Policy is incontestable from issue, except for suicide within three years, non-payment of any premiums or notes given for same, or interest on such notes, entering the military or naval service, becoming employed in a liquor saloon without the consent of the Com pany, or misstatement of age. Company will pay reserve value. Suicide— Suicide or self destruction by any means, in the first three years, whether sane or insane, this policy shall be null and void. Re-Instatement— No provision. The practice of the Company is to allow re-instatement within one year upon furnishing satisfactory certificate of health and payment of all arrears. Occupation- Employment in liquor saloons or military or naval service without the consent of the Com pany is forbidden. Extra premiums required for engaging in certain occupations. The management of the Union Central, like many others well versed in insurance matters, is opposed to “Cash Values,” which are a temptation to the policy-holder to sell out his insurance. The Union Central makos liberal loans (guaranteed in policy) to its policy-hoUhr^s, tfhich accommodates them, at the same time keeping their in surance in force. No Company makes quicker settlement of Death Claims than the Union Central. In event of irregularity in proof of death, we claim sixty days, if necessary, in which to investigate. No Company can pay dividends at end of first year without taking surplus belonging to older policy-holders. (You are “first year” policyholder but ONE year; an “old” policy-holder for maybe twenty years or more. See the point?) Union Central pays TWO Post Mortem Divi dends ; no other Company pays MORE THAN ONE. There is no more liberal Company than the Union Cen tral regarding grace in payment of premiums. If you can’t pay your annual premiums when due, the Company will accept 80-day, 60-day or 90-day notes, or even longer when circumstances warrant. Incontestability conditions are about on a par with all of the good, conservative life insurance companies. Loans— After three years the Company will loan cash value at 8 per cent, interest, next succeeding year’s premium being deducted. Military or Naval Services— Such service at any time without the written consent of the Company, voids the policy, but Company will pay reserve value. Non-Forfeiture- After three premiums have been paid, in the event of lapse, the Company will, without action on the part of the insured, extend the policy as a non-participating term contract. Rut should death occur within three years while policy is so extended, the unpaid an nual premium, with interest, will be deducted from the face of the policy. If you intend to commit suicide, we prefer you to insure in some other company, or at least, wait three years for decency’s sake (and the other policy-holders’ sakes),and pay the Company a few premiums before calling on them for face value of your policy. If you have a lapsed policy in the Company, apply for re-instatement. On evidence of good health the Union Central is eager to get you back. The Union Contral does not insure people in certain ex tra hazardous occupations, and if, after insuring, you en gage iq one of these, it is only fairness to the balance of the policy-holders that you pay some extra premium com mensurate with the extra risk. Union Central’s rate of interest to borrowers may appear high ; but considering that other policy-holders pay the same interest, you get back in your larger dividends enough to warrant your paying good interest if yod borrow. Insuring a business man in a healthy avocation in Gaff ney is quite different from insuring a man undergoing the hardships of war and disease, and facing the bullets of battle. The latter might be good for a soldier, but it’s against the interests of all who stay at home in Gaffney. Union Central non-forfeiture provisions are fair to all parties. These reasonable conditiorfs give better and safer insurance and larger dividends to policy-holders. The Union Central, being a Stock Company, it’s the “stockholders who are liable in case of dire calamities, whereas, in “mutuals” the policy holders must bear the burdens.
