The average man is a doubter, and there ia little wond r that this is so. Misrepresentations make people skep tics. Now-a-days tlie public ask for better evidence than tho testimony ?of strangers. Here is proof which should convince every Laurens reader. J. W. Crawford, salesman at Tho Hub, residing at 102 Public Square, says. ' 1 can recommend Loan's Kid ney Pills very highly. I used them for backache and trouble with the kid neys. My back ached for a couple of years and being constantly on my feet was very hard on my back causing a continuous dull aching pain across my loins. At night I could not rest my back, no matter what position I as sumed. The secretions from the kid neys wero unnatural and irregu'ar and this with the backache was playing me oat fust. I tried ail kinds of medicine, took doctor's proscriptions and wore plater*, but it was time, labor and monoy wasted. Reading an advertise ment about Doan's Kidney Pills I went to the Paimetto Drug Co*'s store and got a box. They went right t> tho epot and banished tho backache and restored tho kidnoys to their normal condition. My rest at night is now un disturbed." For sale by ail dealers. Price ?0 (oen'.s.

KJfteen Veterans of Coin ' mand Present. TWENTY-TWO ALIVE. Speech by Judge Allan Barksdale. Hi ic! Addresses by Judge 0. ti. Thomp. son?A Fine Picnic Dinner and a Good Crowd. The annual reunion of Co. f. S. c. Volunteers was celebrated at Vfarbor* oiigh's Mill, Wednesday, August, PJth ilist. On account of the unfavorable weather forecast the altendance was not much as wou'd otherwise have been. Still a nice attendance was present, es timated betwoon 400 and BOO, and one <>f the best disposed crowds to be seen on BUch occasions. 'The program was carried out as fol lows: Prayer by J. O. Temploton; Poll Call: Song, When the Poll is Called Up Vonder; Recitation by Miss Irene Oil lard: Song, Dixie: Recitation by Miss Irene Snood: Song. Bonnie Blue Ping. Mr. J. P. Dillard rond tho roll and out of 112 dat marched bravely away for the defense of their country more than 42 years ago only (ifteou answered. More than these are alive, perhaps 22 in all. The war record is that 142 coin posed the company, 2.'1 of whom were killed on the field, 17 won; discharged, 11 discharged and died of wounds, and the remaining tit surrendered. THE OFFICERS. The officers in command were Capt. Owens, killed at Malvern Hill: Capt. Dunlap, killed at Shepards Town: ('apt. .lames M. McCiU'loy, who lost an arm at the second battle of the Wilder ness and who now lives at l/iurens. The next in rank was Capt. James P. Sloan, who was appointed but never re ceived tho command, being wounded at Gettysburg and remained a prisoner the rest of the war at Johnson's Island. Lake Krle. After the regular program was con cluded Judge Allan Barksdale was called on for a few remarks. Judge Barksdale emphasized the lamentable fact of the need of more southern liter ature, especially of southern history, writ ten and taught by southern men. He gave an instance occurring in his own state of a Nor thorn teacher sarcas tically refusing to countenance impor tant historical events in the South dur ing tlio civil struggle. His plea was for history written as it was made. Some reference was made to Korshaw's Brigade at Cold Harbor, Frazier's Farm, and the '"Camp Kettles" at Mal vern Hill. Mention was made of the ?'scary" times going over Telegraph Road, where a run w.isconsidered better than a bad stand. In a pictures que way tho Judge described his own ex perience along this road. He was con gratulated on the high speed he devel oped with his heart on tho tip of Iiis toes, as he passed one soldier whom the day-light had pierced and another sit ting on one side of tho road with his skull on the other, lie told of his los ing his arm at Chickaniauga. in the hos pital at Atlanta and also al Columbia and how he kept his promise to bo home when transportation was refused. Frequent mention was made of his kinsman, the venerable Dr. J. A. Barksdalo, who occupied a seat near the speaker. Mr. Barksdalo eulogized the southern women for their courage and heroism dining tho lonely times they were by themselves: no suffering and anxiety to be compared with them, not that of poverty and personal dis tress but the care and consideration for the loved away from home. lie closed with a fervent prayer that all may meet "When the roll is called up yon der" and hoped for a continuance of southern patriot ism. JUDGE THOMPSON'S SPEECH. Hon. O. G. Thompson followed with a short speech giving some well chosen illustrations, showing at what disadvan tages the southern army were under. Capt. J. P. Dillard in his jovial humor did everything to amuse and entertain tho crowd. A long .table had been well loaded from the well tilled baskets and barbe cue hash was dispensed to the full sat isfaction of all present. The afternoon was passed in a very pleasant manner, the soldiers recount ing heroic deeds while tlio younger ones tried to prove to tho beautiful typical southern girls that they were equally its patriotic. In all the day was well enjoyed and all are anticipating another just such reunion at Langston's Church, on Aug ust, Ii?, 1001 where.it wasunamlous that the next one should bo hold. H. Y. J.
