Moses Butler, retired farmer, 116 North Harvin St., Sumter, says: | "I had a great deal of trouble from my kidneys, and my back pained me so Intensely that I could hardly stoop to put on my shoos. I suffered from headaches and : peeks seemed to be floating before my eyes. The kidney secretions passed too freely and obliged me to get up at night.

Indianapolis, Ind., July 22.?-Janus Whitcomb Kiloy died at his home here tonight at 10:50 o'eloek from a stroke of paralysis. He had asked for a drink of water and reclined on his bod again,. Miss (Memonta Prough, the nurse, noticing that the poet seemed not to be resting easily, approached his bed. He died before she reached his side. Mr. Riley suffered a violent stroke about 7.30 o'clock this morning and members of his household were great? ly alarmed, but under Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch's ministrations he seemed to improve. Early tonight he was said to be much better, and information was given to the public that he was in no danger. None of Mr. Biley's family, which includes his brother-in-law, Henry Eitel; his nephew, Edmund H. Eitel, and his niece, Miss Elizabeth Eitel, were in the room when the poet died. Mr. Hiley suffered his tlrst stroke of paralysis July 16, 1910. He recovered and seemed to be in gqod health until he was stricken a second time. This stroke caused a complete .paralysis of his right side. Mr. Biley's determination to battle the illness was shown at that time when he set about laborously to learn to write with his left hand. ' For several years he spent his win-??> ters in Florida. On his return north last May he "never felt better" as he expressed it. Since that time he has been in excellent spirits and seemed unusually strong. He had been able to go to his publisher's frequently and ; was out in his automobile as late as Friday. Mr. Riley never married. His near-:: est living relative is a sister, Mrs. Mary Hayne of New York. He was born In 1853. , BOOSTER TRIP POSTPONED. , ???-??? Uncertainty of Passage Over Bridge? ; Causes Delay in Visit to Rural Sec? tions. Owing to the continued rains and i the uncertainty of whother the public ' highways will be in a condition con duclve to booster trip traveling, it has., been decided to postpone the booster trip from July 27th to August 2nd The Itinerary of places to he Vtsli.<id On August the 2nd will he the. same as J for the postponed date unless st.me- j thing ecegrs to bhangc ?he Pinn* ei the coiniuiUee. Investigation by Secretary Reardon revealed the fact that portions of the public highways damaged by floods of the past week can not be gotten into shape for comfortahle and fast auto? mobile travel, and if the rains con? tinue for next day or two it would be Impossible almost to travel over some portions of the damaged roads, that is with any degree of pleasure, com? fort, and certainty of maintaining a regular schedule which latter Is very necessary on a booster trip. Supervisor Pitts says he could not guarantee that the damaged highways will be in good shape and he agreed with the otticers of the Chamber of Commerce that It is best to postpone tho booster trip until Wednesday, Au? gust 2nd, when the roads will, if good weather and sunshine are prevalent, reuder tho public highways alright for a booster trip outing. So far as can be seen now the booster trip v 111 positively be pulled off on August tho 2nd, and If there is any change in this proposed date due notice will be given all Interested through the newspapers and other? wise. The Sumter Chamber of Commerce requests that all of the parties writ ten and to whom advertising matter was sent about the proposed trip of July the 27th will kindly do what they can to advertise the booster trip of Wednesday, August the 2nd. The bus? iness men of Sumter are very much disappointed about not being able to meet their friends of Trinity, Turbe vllle, Shiloh, New Zion, Sardinia, and Mayesville next Thursday, but will make up for the disappointment on AUgUSt 2nd.

Fletcher, Foreman, and Two Assistants are Drowned In strewn Near Cumden. Camden, July 22.?Three men lost their lives in the Wateree river here today about noon when a lighter on which they were attempting to cross the.stream capsized. They were T. J. Fletcher, white, foreman, of Garnett; Alonzo Pannosh and Joe Williams, negroes, places of residence' unknown. The men were working on the Seaboard trestle. All three swam for some distance and gave out. One of the piers at that point cause:? the stream to form a dangerous and swift whirlpool and it was in this current the tragedy oc? curred. Up to this afternoon none of the bodies had been found. The river is still at such a height that it is impossible to make a search. All the men were strangers here, forming a part of a large crew work? ing night and day to put the trestle in shape for traffic. The river is slow? ly rising again. At a mass meeting held here yester day afternoon It was decided to name a committee from each township to advise with the supervisor and com-1 mlnsioners to replace the county bridge at once. In the meantime s a Mat will be placed as soon as a site can be found. The river at the old bridge site has changed its course, niaking it twice as wide as formerly, and i* is thought that the new bridge JEM have to be erected at least a mile hierher up the river.
