Sept. 4.?The Intimation that Germany is willing to make peace has brought forth the accusation in Hritlsh papers today that the Kaiser's government Is merely trying to gain the diplomatic and financial support of neutral nntions. The Globe states that the Kaiser Is obviously trying to tickle American vanity by pretend? ing to give President Wilson the chance to act as mediator. ? ?rape Juice Goes Out.

Manning "Hands Off" In Prohibi? tion Campaign. Columbia, Sept. 5.?Gov. Manning will not take a hand in the contest that is now going on between the pro? hibitionists and tho "Local Option League of South Carolina." "Will you support either faction?" was the question put to Gov. Man? ning. "I have no statement to make." came the reply. I^ast year Gov. Manning was elect? ed on n lnw enforcement platform and ho h is repeatedly stated that he won id do his utmost t?. enforce every I v. put upon the statute bo oka. Tb?- aei Providing for the prohibl elccU * to heiu September 14 was passed at the last session of the legislature and approved by the governor. If the prohibitionists win, then Gov..Manning will use his every effort to enforce prohibition. If the Issue falls, then he will continue his cam? paign for law enforcement. Gov. Manning has always favored the local option form of government. Some South Carolinians known as local optlonlsts declare that the ?'South Caroling Local option league" does not represent the principles or the policy of local option In this State. The Local Option league Is continu? ing its advertising campaign through the newspapers against the election. The prohibitionists are flooding the papers with communications. WILL DOCK SHIPS FOR REPAIRS. Navy's Ancient Custom of Lajlug up Sldps for Three Months Abolished by Daniels. Washington, Sept. f>.?American warships no longer will lay up at home yards three months of the year for overhauling with extensive shore liberty for ofllccrs and men. Secretary Daniela announced tonight that the navy's ancient custom had been abol? ished and that, although hereafter the ships would be docked twice a year for minor repairs, general overhaul? ing would be given only on recom i icndatlon by the board of survey. Mr Daniels said that under the old custom upon completion of repairs tho ship and crew required several sub? sequent months of active drills and exercises before they returned to their former state of readiness for war. "A routine, of course, will be adopt? ed which will allow ample leave to both ollicers .and men," he added. If ltlcaso Huns. (From the Chester Reporter.) As the Greenwood Daily Journal re? marks this is a free country, and the Hon. Cole U Dleoae has a perfect right, if he eo desires, to run for governor next year. Messrs. w. 1*. Pollock and L. D. Jennlnga likewise have a rlghl to run, If they so desire, and remembering the fun they had In ItH tit the expense of the then chief executive will probably decide to gel Into the game, if the latter sticks to his notion of running. We rather he? lp ve, though, that mutters will quiet down considerably in the next few months ami that Mr. Manning will have very little trouble In securing a ??coud term. TENNIS PLAYERS BREAK EVEN. St. Charley Wins in Doublen und Suui ler in Singles. In the third of a series of matches between members of Sumter Tennis Association and players of St. Charles the matches were evenly divided be? tween the two opposing teams. The St. Charles men held their former championship in doubles, while the Bumter players copped the majority of the singles matches. The matches were played on the St. Charles court with a good crowd of spectators in attendance. A picnic dinner was serv? ed and added much to the pleasure of the occasion. In the morning R, Wilton and Brearley tackled Bryan and Levi. The Sumter players started off strong, but slumped in the second and third sets, while their opponents tightened up and held things their way after the first set, winnng 1-6; G-l; 0-2. Hammond and McCutcheon opposed Roddy and Marion, the latter winning in two straight sets by consistent steady playing, 1-0; 4-0. In the afternoon M.

Yesterday car loud lots were received here from Heath Springs, Aiken and Blackville, attesting the fact that the Sumter tobacco market is known and the prices are right for the growers of the weed, for an In? vestigation always precedes the send? ing of tobacco by carload lobs for sale on a distant market. There were some 6 4,0(0 pounds of tobacco sold on Thursday, much of it bringing around fourteen cents and some of It going as high as twenty-live cents. Con < 'I i nui n - Sa ndc rs.

No woman should consld r herself healthy and well if the kidneys are weak. Poisons that pass off in the secretions when the kidneys are well, are retained In the body when the kidneys are disordered. If the kidneys and bladder become inflamed and swollen worse troubles may quickly follow. This is often the cause of bearing-down pains, lameness, back? ache, stc. Uric poisoning is also fre? quent cause of headaches, dizzy spells, languor, nervousness and rheu? matic pain. When suffering so, try Doan's Kid? ney Pills, a remedy that has proven effective in thousands of such cases. Let a Sumter woman tell of her ex? perience. Mrs. Annie C.
