Lill CO., PALMETTO AFFAIRS Occurrences of Interest From All Over South Carolina MANY ITEMS OF STATE NEWS A Batch of Live Paragraphs Cover ing a Wide Range-What is Going On in Our State. Negro Kills Brother-in-Law. Greenwood, Special.-Joe Evans, a negro, shot and killed his brother-in law, Will Hughey, in the Buck Level section of the county, Sunday night. He is now in jail here. It is alleged 'chat Evans committed a criminal as ."ault on his sister-in-law, Hughey'3 wife, Saturday. Hughey came into town Sunday and had a warrant sworn out for Evans. Evans heard of this proceeding and went down to Hughey's house . Sunday night to "talk over" the matter, and while the two were outside the house the shooting began. Hughey had three bullets in him and was stone dead when found. One bullet lodged in the spinal column, back of the head, breaking his neck. The Evans negro lied and when caught was in bed feigning sleep. When carried to the place of the shooting for the purpose of having his tracks measured he wilted and confessed the crime. Nrway Oil Mill. Norway, Special.-The Norway Oil Mill is now "an assured fact. Soma weeks ago it was decided by the stockholders who intended operating an oil 'mill and ginnery at Bolin, about nine miles from here, to locate the mill at Norway, provided the cit izens would take half the stock and in place of a $10,000 plant make it $15,000 to $20,000. This met with thc approval of the Norway people and a joint meeting was called. The follow ing officers-were elected: President, B. F. Adden; .vice president, B. B. Williams; treasurer, J. H. Bonnett; secretary, J. A. Weathersbee. For South Carolina Rivers and Har bors. The secretary of the treasury in his letter of recommendation of appro priations needed,"asks that the fol lowing amounts be made available for the year ending June 30, 1906: For public buildings at Anderson, $35,000; Chester, $25,000; Green ville, $25,000; Greenwood, $20,000; Sumter, $15,000. For improving Winyah Bay, $72, 750. For improving Pee Dee River and maintaining same, $25,000. Anderson is Pleased. Anderson, Special.-The news of the reappointment of Mr. John R^ Cochran, Jr.. as postmaster for this" city, which was given in a brief press dispatch last week was very gratifying to all of the patrons of this office. Mr. Cochran has been in the office here as postmaster for eight years, having received his ap pointment under President McKinley in 1898. During his past service in the office, Mr. Cochran has given the best of treatment to everyone. . Sold. Almost for a Song. . Winnsboro, Special.-The property of the Wiunsbor? Granite Company Avas sold by the clerk of the court and was bought by R. G. Rhett of Charleston for $10,000. No person was allowed to bid on this property unless they deposited a certified check for '$10,000 with- the dei of the court before they entered a bid and the property was sold for cash. This is the reason the property brought so little. It is worth at least $300,000. Civic Improvement Society. Florence, Special-The ' ladies of the Civic Improvement Society are making arrangements to give an old fashioned tournament and a ball during Christmas week for the bene fit of the society. Many knights from this and adjoining counties ard expected to contest for the honor of crowning the queen at the ball to be given that night. Heyward County Fails.

Montana requires its railroads to maintain a station at plotted town sites of 100 inhabitants or more. Thirty States have State railroad commissions, twenty of which have power to fix rates on purely State traf fic. Intoxication while on duty is a mis demeanor for a railroad employe iu California, and if death results, a fel , ony. California makes the wrecking of a train or an engine a felony punish able by death or life imprisonment, at the option of the jury. Railroads running within three miles of a comity seat in Oklahoma must build a line through the county seat ai?d establish a station. In South Carolina it is a misde meanor for the conductor of a trolley car to refuse to separate negroes and white people. California has made it a misde meanor to transport cattle, sheep, or swine in. carload lots for more than thiry-six hours without stopping for ten hours rest. Virginia has found it necessary to pass a law declaring that for all legal purposes the words "railroad" and "railway" are to be considered syn ' onymous. In Massachusetts the illegal sale of street railway transfers is made pun ishable by a fine not exceeding $50, or imprisonment for not more than 30 days. The legislature of Washington at its latest session passed a law making the maximum railroad fare for adults 3 cents a mile and for children 1 1-2 cents. A trolley company in Vermont whose cars fail to come to a full stop and display a signal at a grade rail road crossing is subject to a fine ol $25 for each ommission. By the forms of a new statute in Michigan in a suit by or against a railroad company the books of the company are subject to the inspection of the Attorney General of the State. The State of Mississippi has effect ed the increase of about $12,000,000 in the amount of taxable property in the State by a recent readjustment in the assessment of railroads. In Minnesota railway, telegraph and express stations must bear the local name of the community, unless it is likely to be confused with the names of other stations on the same line. California rejoices in the law mak ing the circulation of fraudulent re ports regarding the value of the stock of a corporation formed in the State a felony punishable by two yours' im prisonment of $5,000 fine, or both. Down in Georgia the Supreme Court has concluded that an engineer is not justified in acting on the pre sumption that a child of tender years on a railroad track will appreciate its danger and use the discretion of an adult in getting out of the way of au approaching train. According to a recent act of the legislature of that State, Florida rail roads failing to pay a claim for loss or damage within ninety days must pay 25 per cent on the judgment ob tained by the claimant in excess, oi the amount offered by the railroad in settlement of the claim. The mere fact that "a great many people have been in the habit of using a railroad trestle as a footbridge and -that the railroad company had made no complaint, says the court of ap peals of Kentucky, does not give the people any special lights on the bridge or compel the railroads com pany to exercise a special degree o? care ?or their safpty. TALISMANS AND CHARMS. Talismans and charms have their ape o-ud downs In fashion. Ju3t now the wearing of such "mascots," says "Tile Woman's Magazine," seems to be in the ascendant. They hang from necks, they dangle from purses, they even adorn one's rooms. The new est charm in Paris, which is war ranted to leave joyousness in ita wake, ls a pot of growing shamrocks. The pots are small, and there is a great desire to get the four-leaved shamrocks to grow in them. Such a result, of course, is a mere question of luck. The shamrock charm will be much sought this season and will be a popular favor for luncheons. At least Paris is looking through green eyes at present. Farmer-I want 10 cents' worth o' stamps.

NO MEDICINE But Change of Food Clave Final Re lief. Most diseases start in the alimen tary canal-stomach and bowais. A great deal of our' stomach and bowel troubles come from eating too much starchy and greasy food. The stomach does not digest any of the starchy food we eat-white bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these things are digested in the small in testines, and If we eat too much, as most of us do, the organs that should digest this kind of food are overcome by excess of Work, so that fermenta tion, indigestion, and a long train of alls result. Too much fat also is hard to di gest and this is changed kito acids, sour stomach, belching gas, and a bloated, heavy feeling. In these conditions a change from indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will work wonders in not only relieving the distress, but in building up a strong digestion, clear brain and steady, nerves. A Wash, woman writes: "About five years ago I suffered with bad stomach-dyspepsia, indi gestion, constipation-caus?d, I know now, from eating starchy and greasy food. "I doctored for two years without any benefit. The doctor told me there \vas no cure for me. I could not eat anything without suffering severe pain in my back and sides, and I became discouraged. "A friend recommended Grape Nuts and T began to use it. In less than two weeks I began to feel better and inside of two months I was a well woman und have been ever since. "I Can eat anything I ' wish with pleasure. JV"e eat Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast and are very fond of it." Narho given by Postuin Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to WelivilleV" ja pkgfli ''ferd's a raset," I OONSOIENOIOIJSNESS IN WOEK. Given the mah, woman or child that conscienciousness into work. But in whatever it may be, and success will accompany their efforts. -It is the hardest task, this learning and living up to the fulfillment of conscientious effort.. It is very easy to find excuse for the curting short, in some degree the work or project at hand. It is the workman who gives his employer the premium of work on every dollar he receives, that is going to get ahead, and be wanted when extra and better work comes'along. It is in every day life, in the homo, in the church, in society, that the con scientious person is wanted, for it is 'through such a person, that the best results come, that the home is exalt ed, the church made the strength it should be, and society redeemed from its frivolity and wastefulness. It is the doing more and. better than the allotted work, that counts. It is not being moral and upright, for mere individual gain, because .good, habits give their possessors a higher position, on a salary or money basis, but the being good, because goodness is a virtue that means peace, happiness and security to the possessor in this world, and in the oue to come. In a commercial ccu: ., it is the person who is above par in character and application in con scientious effort, that is wanted in ev ery trade and profession, in every walk of life. The indifferent person may appear to succeed equally as weil as the person that puts individual conscientiousness into work, But in the day when any crisis occurs, when work becomes scarce, wages are cut, or when a man or woman is wanted to carry out some great work of the moment, it will be found that the con sciencious person stands above his fellow, the indifferent and careless, and the call will be to him or her, as the case may be. In the school, in the field of labor, conscienciousness in the work at hand, is what means both temporary and future success. To carry to the fullest possible, the lessons well learned, and thoroughly. To com plete the work of the hour and the day, carefully, honestly without waste of material or time. Ic means success, lt means better future ef forts. It means character strength for the person so performing and ful filling. TEE SUPPORT OF THE LOCAL MERCHANT. The approach of winter and the holiday season, when the most import ant and largest expenditures on the part of every person and family takes place, calls attention to. a mat ter of great consideration, for those who are to purchase theso supplies. This matter-is where are you, the cit izen, going to buy your goods, of your home merchant, or are you al ready sending out for catalogues from outside* merchants of the great north ern cities, aud figuring on saving twenty-five cents on every ten dol lar purchase ? There is no greater community of interests in a town or city, than that which is to be found in local co-oper ation of the people. It is the senti ment put into active practice of doing everything possible for your neigh bor's interest. It is the good word ever ready for the city's defence. It is the ready help to promote and ad vance every local interest which means' public hetterments. It is found in giving the local mer chant every possible order, ?yery pos sible dollar in trade for goods, that cafi-be purchased in his store, or or dered through his store. The support of home institutions ie best seen in the local patronage given every worthy local merchant. The re tail merchant, as a tax payer, is a most important supporter of every thing that makes up a municipality. He is taxed for everything, and pro portionally bears the greatest bur den as a local taxpayer. This being true the local merchant deserves tho consistent support, and every possible dollar of patronage from his home people. At this season of the year, the pam phlet by mail, and tho attractive ad in some outside poriodiciil, is too apt to draw attention away from the local merchant. The person want ing goods very often will say what is the use of going to the local mer chant, he can't carry such goods, and so send an order to some outside mer chant. But how does the home citi zen know that the article wanted is not to be found in town"? Has thc local newspaper been looked tover, .to see if the local merchant adver tises, or if not having the exact ar ticle, cannot order the goods, and so make a small profit? Lot this season be a new one for lo cal buyers, in that they make up their lists of needed goods, look up their local merchant and give him the first opportunity to fill every order, before sending a dollar to some northern city. Let the people try,this one sea son,'and see what the result wiil be. Give it a trial. CONCERNING CURIOSITY. It's a bad habit. It gets you into no end of trouble. It's always bad manners to try to pry into other persons' affairs. Respect his silence, and don't try to force information he does not want to give. The habit of prying into things has wrecked many a friendship. Even the strongest affection revolts at a forced entrance into the holy of holies where the seal of silence is set. Trust your friends and cultivate in difference toward the private affairs of the rest of the world.-New Have* Register. A north wind has no corn and a poor man no friend.-From the Span ish. ' HAS FIRST ISSUE OF THE SUN. Mrt. J. George Michel Has Kept It Many Years. Mrs. George Michel, 405-East Bid dle street, prizes highly a copy of the first issue of The Baltimore Sun, May 17, 1837. The copy originally belonged to [her sister, Mrs. Mary E. Weygand, who died in 1876. Prior to her death Mrs. Weygand told her sister the pa per was Kept in a small box and re quested her to take charge of it. Mrs. Michel was only 15 years old at the time, but she has preserved the box. The paper is in an excellent state of preservation. Mrs. Michel has been a reader of The Sun ever since she was old enough to peruse' a newspa per. A CYCLONE BABY. In Oklahoma Territory one night last summer a cyclone swept over a section of the country and destroyed about forty houses. Next morning, about thirty miles from the path of the cyclone, a farmer going out to' mow his meadow found a child a yep old in the grass. It was a boy aud he had a bedquilt wrapped around him. The storm had brought him, but the only hurtle had received was a scratch on the nose. Notice -was given to . the nearest newspapers at once and the case w:aa publishe i.| In this way hundreds of people came to know about lt. One woulo think that the child's parents woulf'. have been found soon, but as a matter of fact no word has come from them yet. It may be that they were killed, or, as some think, they wanted to abandon the boy, though he is a sm?rt and cunning little chap and bei'ip: praised by everybody. A dozen different families stood ready to adopt him, but his home ls with those who found him in the. grass. The name given to the lost baby is simply "Cy," for the first syllable of cyclone, and if he wants to lengthen it out when he grows up there will be no objections. Perhaps when man hood is reached we shall hear of him In the Legislature as "Mr. Cy Clone." -'.New York News. What Do They Cure? The above question is often asked con cerning Dr. Pierce's two leading medi cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and " Favorite- Prescription." The answer is that "Golden Medical Discovery " is a most potent alterative or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator and acts especially favorably in a cura tive way upon all thc mucous lining sur faces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and bladdeftvcuring a large per cent, of catar rhal cases whether <be disease affects the nasal passages, the tfcsoat, larynx, bron chia, stomachNfas catarrfciU dyspepsia), bowels (as mu\oup>?a>K|ibvl bladder, uterus or other pelvic organs* Even In the.chron'"rpr nlcaraliyg stages 3jE5e p.tfeetiona. ?r, t* ofton successful in affect ing cures.
