on C. | lii.iiifO'lt with reluctance.
"This wrenches my soul." he suld

As the day \\ | re on. however, and
he made speech after speech, n which
^he denounced Mr. Roosevelt ngaln

over by members of his Cabinet and
containing a detailed answer to many
of Mr. Roosevelt's Chargen,
Mr. Taft's speech bristled with
counter charges ngalnst his predeces
W?mor \" the White House. He declared
that Mr. Roosevelt had wilfully mis?
represented him. had falsely distorted
some of his public utterances, had
failed to live up to bis policy of a
square deal snd had violated a solemn
promls* to the American people not
?g<? be a candidate for s third term.
"That promise and his treatment of
It." said Mr. Taft, "only throw an In?

this '-<lnd he miy make for the fil?
tere.*
ff " Declaring that Mr. Roosevelt "ought
not to be selected as a candidate of
any party." Mr. Taft said that the for?
mer President might now be paving
the way. If successful In the present
campaign .to remain the Chief Execu?
tive of the nation for as many terms
a a* his natural life would permit
"If he Is necessary now to the Gov?
ernment, why not later?" asked the
Preetd* nt. who continued:
"One wn?> s<> h<htlv regards consti?

w has s?. misunderstood what liberty

so much by the numher of vehicles as
it is by the fart that vehicles draw up
along side each other in the street
and alee dran up at various angles
?UToss ihr street taking up a great
deal of room, One of ihe suggsstions
made to Council was to prevent tali
very lalag. These suggestion* were as
follow s
No vehicle shall be gllOWOd tO stop
in a position with its nearest Inside
wh e| further than is inches from the
curbing, nor with Its furthest inside
whorl further than 81 inches fron?
the curbing.
No rehtole shall be allowed 10 draw
up alongside a vehicle already stand?
ing on the same side of the centre of
Ihe street.
All moving vehicles must be kept to
the right hand side of the centre of
the street.
If anti-turn ordinance Is adopted,
make it for all vehicles, and do not
permit backing for more than the
length of the vehicle.
Make speed limit on business streets
10 miles with 8 at intersections, and
on other streets 15 miles with 12 at
Intersections.
Retain present stop at corner or?
dinance.
Have regulations to apply on Main
street from Canal to Rartlette. and
os UnSfty street from Sumter to Har
vln.
Mr. H. A. Moses who appeared be?
fore Council Tuesday night said
that these suggestions were the OUt
come of talk between several "safe
and sane" autolsts, those who do not
race through the streets and none of
whom have ever been arrested for
speeding. He said their only object
was to help out Council In Its effort
to keep the streets clear so that all
kinds of vehicles, horse-drawn as w ell
as automobiles, would have an easier
time on crowded days.
Aldermen MeKelver. Olenn and
Wright compose the Committee l?

CIVIC LRAGVTB NOTES.
Matters Decided st Recent Meeting?
Y. df. C. A. I>oe* not Accept Library.
At the meeting of the Civic League
Monday afternoon the holding of Tag
Day was Indefinitely postponed. The
league did this regretfully after ma?
ture deliberation as repeated efforts
to hold this day had met with fail?
ure. Sentiment In Sumter seems to
be against this method of raising
money so popular elsewhere, for par?
ents refused to let their daughters do
ths tagging and many ladles refused
to take the stands with the girls.
The league has had these tags print?
ed and if any organisation wishes to
make use of them for this game
purpose.?raising mon ?y to have a
tree expert work on the trees?the
league will be glad ?o hand over the
tags. Meanwhile all those who have
the tags at their houses are requested
to send them to Miss \rmlda Moses
so that they may be kept together. As
Ihe League desires te <i?> something
towards work on the Irees It Is con?
sidering an entertainment in the
form of g moonlight plcalc, mote
about which will be heard later.

Every Claim is Racked by Local Tes?

than the following statement and ex?
perience of a resident of Sumter.
what can it be?
W. M. Folsom, 101 Hampton ave?
nue, Sumter, S. C, says: "I read
about Doan's Kidney Pills when I
wag suffering from kidney trouble
and 1 procuerd a box at China's Drug
Store. My back ached for some time
and if I made a quick movement, 1
bad sharp twinges throughout my
body. Atter sitting for awhile, I had
to lift myself up by main force. The
kidney secretions were unnatural and
tilled with sediment. Doan's Kid?
ney Pills gave me entire relief and
after taking them 1 enjoyed good
health. 1 have no hesitation what?
ever in giving Doan's Kidney Pills
my endorsement." (Statement given
In March 1908.)
LastlJig Result*.
On January 7, 1911, Mr. Folsom
was Interviewed and he said: "I have
no reason whatever to change my
high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills
and I gladly confirm my former en?
dorsement of them. The benefit this
remedy brought me has been perma?
nent."
