The State League is an assured fact

Baseball Notes.
Sumter base ball promoters are not
giving out much news concerning the
pUns for this year, but it is stated
that Sumter will have professional
ball this season. The State League
has compiled with all the rules
and regulations of the National com?
mission and has paid the required as?
sessment for 1908. The franchise is
therefore in good standing and othens
who hav*' gone ahead with their ar?
rangements a.s if the Slate League
did not exist and held no franrnlse
and had no claim on the players un?
der contract last vear, will realize a
little later on that the State League is
a live issue sure enough.
? ? ?
Spartan ourg. whose withdrawal
from the State League has been sanc?
tioned, is starting out in the right
way to win the pennant in the Inter
State League?a sure enough man?
ager has been engaged at the outset.
Carlton Buesse, who managed Or?
angeburg last season, will boss the
Spartan bunch this season. He will
probably lead the league, since he will
not have to go up against Sumter and
Gunter.
? ? ?
Felix Dingle, who goes back to Nor?
folk this year, will be missed In Sum?
ter. He was one of the best and most
popular players on the team.
a . s s
McDonald, pitcher, and Shea, catch
er, with Moffett's Ohattanooga-Flor
enco aggregation last year, are to be
given a tryout by Billy Smith, of At?
lanta. They will probably not make
good, unless a wonderful improve?
ment has taken place In their playing
during the winter.

The Jay-rubc dope writer of the Co?
lumbia Record slurs at the Sumter

good defence, but when Ignorance in?
cites a Jay-rube tc commit such a
heinous offense It is difficult to accept
It as a plea.
? ? ?
If Columbia really wants Sammy
Richardson they can probably per?
suade Sumter to part with him for a
spot cosh consideration. Greenville
can likewise obtain Trlbblo and Ste?
phens if she has the price and will
come across when Sumter calls the
turn.

A Cure for Misery.
*"I have found a cure for the mis?
ery malaria poison produces," says R.
M. James, of Louellen, S. C. "It's

of chills or a bilious attack in almost
no time; and it puts yellow jaundice
clean out of commission." This great
tonic medicine and blood purifier gives
quick relief in all stomach, liver and
kidney complaints and the misery of
lame back. Sold under guarantee at

?If a cough once gets into your j

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a Sumter Household Will Find
Them So.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed; to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary
disorders is enough to make any kid?
ney sufferer grateful. To tell how this
great change can be brought about
will prove comforting words to hun?
dreds of Sumter readers.
R. M. McCavey, Columbia, S. C,
says: "After what Doan's Kidney Pills
did for me I could hardly refuse to
recommend them. Before I used them
my back hurt me nil the time and
kept me awake at night. I would of?
ten get up In the morning as tired as
when I went to bed. I had a dull
pain across my lolt.s, sometimes so
severe that I could not stand up
straight. I would go to bed tired all
over, fall asleep and awaken in the
night with on awful pain In my back.
I had no strength and would have to
u?5c both hands to help me when
shifting my position. The secretions
from the kidneys were dark, full of
sediment and the Irregularity t f the
passages bothered me a great deal. I
used a number of different remedies
advertised for such ailments and tried
treatment! prescribed by physicians
as well as limiments and oth<r ex?
ternal applications, but nothing did
me any good until T got a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills and used them.
As I have said before they did me so
much good that I know they will
cure backache."
