THURSDAY. NOV..13. 1913.
The Orangeburg'Times and Dem-j
i ocrat savs that Senator MeLaurin
- |
fell, like Cromwell, "never to rise
again." What Cromwell? Not
Oliver, surely.
In a letter to the daily newspav
i / *
pers' of the State, published last j
Sunday, Senator Tillman says that
he intends to support Senator E D
Smith againsb Blease anil will do all
he can to re-elect his colleague to
the United State Senate.
Adolphus Busch, the St Louis
brewer recently deceased, left in his
will 8210,000 to charity. Not so
much from an estate estimated at
forty million dollars, the acquiring
of which doubtless conduced to the
making of many objects of charity.
It seems to be equally hard for
. the Bleaseites and the anti-Bleaseites
to pick an entirely suitable candidate
for Governor. That being
the case, why not get together and
select a conservative man in whom
both factions have full confidence
and let us cease this bickering.
Lowndes J Browning, Esq, former
Representative in the General Assembly
from Union county and
chairman of the ways and means
committee of the Legislature, has
announced his candidacy for Governor.
This makes about seven in
the Held at present, including John
T Duncan, who, like "Cansler of
Tirzah," is a perpetual candidate.
We have on our desk a copy of
the Manning "Herald," a weekly
newspaper recently started at the
county seat of Clarendon, with Mr
J K Breedeen as editor. Without
flattery, we may say that The Herald
is one of the brightest and l>est
printed county-seat weeklies in the
i .r
Mate. We naven i rue pleasure ui
personal acquaintance with the
"men behind thegun," but they
surely f&e no 'prentice hands at the
business of getting out a newspaper.
The terrible tragedy which occurred
last Sunday neat* Sumter
should l>e an object lesson and a warning
to every one who lias to handle
kerosene and gasoline for any purpose
whatsoever. The imprisoned
genie is a useful servant, but once
let him escape control and death
and destruction follow in his wake.

so oft en recoils upon us with disastrous
results. ,
Based on his experience the past
week, Editor Freeman, of the Bennettesville
Advocate and Pee Dee
Daily, could doubtless add an interesting
chapter to "What Constitutes
a Busy Man." To have to
get out a daily and a weekly paj>er
fair week and then have the stork
to visit one's home all at the same
time, we fancy, would be just about
all one would desire to know about
the strenuous life. Our sympathy
and congratulation go out to our
friend according to the requirements
of his case.

Mrs Ed Whooton, a white woman
who lived near Sumter, was the
victim of a horrible accident Sunday
morning, being burned to
death when she attempted to kindle
a fire witb the aid of a can of kero
sene. The accident happened early
in the morning and Mrs Whooton
lived until two o'clock in the afternoon,
when death relieved her sufferings.
The unfortunate woman
had poured some oil from the can
on the wood, but it failed to ignite
and, she, thinking the fire had died
out, tilted the can to pour some
more, when the flames shot up the
spout of the can, which burst and
scattered burning oil all over her
clothing, burning every particle of
clothes off her body. Not a piece of
skin was left on her body except on
the top of her head and the soles of
her feet. Her husband tried to save
her, but got there too late and he
was painfully burned also.

Ernest Joye, Prize Corn Grower.
The Kingstree County Record
prints a very interesting letter from ,
Ernest M Joye, the Williamsburg!
boy who for the second year in sue-!
cession won first prize in the boys'
corn contest for South Carolina. The
j yield this year was 158 bushels; or
! 365 bushels on one acre in two years,
Mr Jacob Phinizy, of the Georgia
1 Central Bank, of Augusta, wrote to
young Joye that he would add $50
to the State premium if he could see
the corn measured, as he did not believe
that 150 bushels could be grown
on upland without a system of irrigation.
In reference to thi3 Joye
says: "He is right in the majority
of cases, but, as I wrote him yesterday,
irrigation would not have been
any improvement on our seasons last
or this year, and if a storm had not
damaged my corn so badly this year,
coming just as it began earing and
breaking off so much of it, I woulflfc
! have shown at least thirty bushels
_ 1 j ? ? A __ a1 f
more to my credit. un tne prize
acre this year there were 19,000
plants. The yield was 10,635 pounds
of shucked earcorn, giving approximately
84 pounds of kernels and 16
of cobs per hundredweight. The
section of country in which young
Joye made his record is just being
opened up to railroad development.
It is one of the finest agricultural
regions in the State.?Ntus and

THIS IS CERTAIN
The Proof That Kingsfree Readers
Cannot Deny.
What could furnish stronger evidence
of the efficiency of any remedy
than the test of time. Thousands
of people testify thpt Doan's
Kidney Pills have brought lasting
results.
Grateful endorsements should
prove undoubtedly the merits of
this remedy. Years ago people right
in this locality testified to the relief j
they had derived from the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. They now confirm
their testimonials. They say
that time has completed the test.
J A Turner, 114 E Palmetto St,
Florence, S C, says: "I am willing
to verify my former endorsement of
Doan's Kidney Pills that I gave in
March, 1908. I have had no need of
a kidney medicine since,as the benefit
I got has been permanent My
back ached a great deal and 1 had
sharp, shooting pains through my
loins. There were other symptoms
of kidney trouble and finally I was
led to get Doan's Kidney Pilfo.
They quickly removed the trouble,
benefiting me in every way."
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Foster-Mil burn Co, Buffalo,
