Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know it.
How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your

ney trouble: too
plK'jJ frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
1 the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder
are out of order.
What to Do.
a There is comfort in the knowledge so
JSften expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swampr
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
' wish^in curing rheumatism, pain In the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scaldinr nain in nassinp

\ It, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wise or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases,
if you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in50c. and$l. sizes.
You may/ have a sample bottle of this
wonderful .' discovery f^iTTm-iii

more about it, both sent

The young folk of Leo awl

night, with a fruit supper at. Mr O

On Xmas day Messrs J J Buddy.
\V () Buddy and others got up a
lively fox chase. Two brushes
were the tangible evidence of
their sport.
Mr W S Baddy has put up a
telephone wire connecting hihouse
with Mr J M Buddy's, thus
putting him iu touch with the
outside world.
Mr E F Prosser has removed
his stock of merchandi?e from the
old Hoggins stand into his new
store house near Vox, where he
will be pleased to see hia many
friends and customers.
\lr S B Post on is putting a newstock
of goods in his store at
Johnsonville,,were he will be glad
to serve his numerous friends,
.Mr Poston is so weli known that
it is unnecessary to say that he
will treat his patrons right.
On Friday. Janunrv 2, Mr James
Urier ol Johnsonville sustained
the misfortune of losing his dwelling

at the time. The burning occurred
between 12 m and 3 o'clock p.

nothing could be done. This
is a heavy loss to Mr Crier. who
only a few days before the fire
had moved back from Cades to his
old home at Johnsonville.

Nothing can take the place of your
county papers For county news and
for county prtde It should go into every
home. But for news from the capital
of your State and every county in
8outh Carolina, served fresh every
day; for daUy news from Washington,
the United States and every other
quarter of the globe, nothing can take
the place in South Carolina homes of
The Daily State.
These are momentous times in history.
We are in the midst of wanv
strikes and political struggles of great
Importance. The next session of our
legislature. with the inauguration of
a new governor, will have peculiar interest.
Man or woman, to keep up
with the times, must read the daily
history of the w-orld, and that Is recorded
in entertaining style In The
State. The State will be sent daily for
58 a year, 54 for (Qmonths, 55 for 8
months, or Just' a fraction over the cost
of a postage stamp for one letter a
day! Cheap education and Information
for a family for 21-6 cents a day.
Isn't It?
But if you can't afford that, there Is
The Semi-Weekly State, Issued Tuesdays
and Fridays, each Issue com >nlng
the most Important news from all
South Carolina and the world at large
for that day and the preceding days
since the last issue. And this may be
obtained for 52 a year, 51 for 6 months,
or Just a fraction over a half cent a
day!
