Scores of Sumter people can tell
about Doan's Kidney Pills. Many a
happy citizen makes ? public state?
ment of his experience. Here la a case
of it. What better proof of merit can
be had than su<*h endorsement?
W. 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. I doc?
tored but nothing did me any good
until I got V< >n's Kidney Pills at
/.crop's I'harinie^n. Five boxes remov?
ed all the ailments and my back is
row well and strong."

?JAMES WHITCOMB lillil Y PASS*
KS AWAY IX INDIANAPOLIS.
Known uk "lloosier Poet" and Thor?
oughly Attuned With Spirit of Ills
Section.
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.

LOST LIVES WHEN SMALL BOAT
CAPSIZED.

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.
