WHY IT SUCCEEDS.
Because It’s for One Tiling Only, and
Americas People Appreciate This.
Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings suc
cess. Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing
only.
They cure sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney
ill.
11. Y. Ferrell, veterinary surgeon,
living at 67 State street, Albany, Ga.,
says: "Although I have never been
laid up by kidney complaint, I have
suffered a great deal with a lame and
aching back, and have felt like going
to bed on that account often enough.
This dull, heavy pain was with me
for several years. The urine was
also very dark and sluggish, and con
tained a thick sediment. I tried all
kinds of remedies, and used prescrip
tions of my own, but without success.
Nothing seemed to take hold until I
procured Doan’s Kdney Pills. They
were exactly suited to my case. Since
using the pills I have not been bothr,
ered with those pains, and the kid
ney secretions have been restored to
a normal color and consistency.”

GHOST MAKES SIGNS,
From His Grave Chinaman Ap
peals For Help.
SCARES HORSE GRAZER STIFF
Rescued at Last From Living Tomb,
Unfortunate Son of Tzi Lung Is Con
fined In Temple Until He Proves He
Is Not a Spirit.
A "ghost” that eats has thrown the
towns of the Siangfu district, in China,
Into a commotion. The facts are re
markable. The thirty-year-old son of
Tzi Lung, a schoolteacher, was thought
to have died of typhus fever. Ilis fam
ily being very poor, the body was plae
| ed in a frail wood coffin and buried
XE SAW A GAUNT WHITE ARM THRUST UP.
only a few inches under the soil out
side the western gate of the town of
Siangyang.
A week later a man put his horse to
graze on the spot. The beast found
good grass near the grave and brought
its foot down on the soil above the
coffin, the lid of which was broken.
In a little while the owner of the horse
saw a gaunt white arm thrust up
through the hole made by the horse’s
hoof.
Thinking the dead man’s “ghost” was
about to rise to avenge the Insult offer
ed in the breaking of the coffin, the
watcher hurried up and began shovel
ing earth into the hole to keep the
“ghost” down. A muffled voice ex
postulated and begged to bo freed,
claiming to be the living son of Tzi
Lung. The watcher fled In terror to
the town, where lie told every one he
met of what had happened. The
“ghost’s” father urged that the “ghost”
should be left alone and not further
disturbed.
A large crowd, however, went out of
the city to view the wonder. The
“ghost” kept bogging most piteously
to ho let out. One man had courage
enough to unearth the cover of the cof
fin completely and open it, allowing
the “resurrected” man to sit up. Rice
soup find wine were brought and rav
enously devoured by the “ghost,” still
sitting upright in his coffin, imbedded
in the earth.
Finally the unhappy “ghost” was re
leased and confined in a temple until
ho could prove himself to be a living
man.
Set Robin's Broken Leg.
About six weeks ago Hugh McGill of
Lock Haven, Pa., noticed an old robin
fluttering in the grass in front, of his
home. After some effort he caught it
with his hands and discovered that one
of the robin’s legs was broken. Taking
redbreast into the house, ho washed
the bones, applied splints and careful
ly bandaged the leg. To his surprise
the bones knitted, and soon the leg was
found to ho as good ns ever. The robin
was given its freedom, but in apprecia
tion of the kind act it comes about the
house many times every day and has
become so tame that it will eat crumbs
from McGill’s hand. The bird has a
=est in a.nearby tree and on being call
ed by McGill Invariably flies to him.

SUMTER TO SHOW GAIN
SUBSTANTIAL increase in values
EXPECTED
Receiver Speer is Still Busy With
Boots and is Tooting up the
Returns.
The tax returns of Sumter coun
ty will show when they have been
added by Receiver Speer and his as
sistants that the county has made a
substantial gain, in wealth during the
past year. When the facts surround
ing returns are taken into considera
tion they will.be found in everf way
encouraging. In Americus, as in the
smaller towns, and in the county at
large substantial gains in property
values will be shown.
TO TANGLE WITH THE FINANCIERS
Lawyers Challenge the Bankers to
Play Ball.
The man behind the dollar and
those behind the law book will be
drawn up in a balletic array on the
diamond Tuesday in what will be
the richest game of the season.
The Blackstonians have issued the
challenge and the disciples of Croe
sus have picked it up.
The lineup for this arenic encoun
ter is complete, and its dollars to
lawbooks as to which tickle Fortune
will favor.
Col. E A. Nisbet, whose fame in
balldom is surpassed only by his
eloquence in debate, will manage the
interests of his brothers at the bar.
This has no reference to prohibi
tion.
For the men of Mammon, Cashier
Ed D. Sheffield will stand sponser and
demapd the change.
Dollar chasing may give the Hank
ers a very slight advantage, hut
the ability of the lawyers to shift
position and take any old side not
nailed down will be to their advan
tage.
Here is the lineup for this titan
ic struggle, beside which Thermopolae
and Bull Run will resemble a Sun
day school picnic.
