Pinkham's Vegetable Compaund A great many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which, does not seem to yield to ordinary treat ment. While the symptoms seem to be. similar to those of ordinary indiges tion, yet the medicines universally pre scribed do not seem to restore- the pa* tie?t's normal condition. Mrs. Pinlcham claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a derangement of the female organism, and which; while it causes a disturb ?ce similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects also. As proof of this theory we call at tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was completely cured by Lydia E. Pink ham*s Vegetable Compound after every thing else had failed. She writes : For two years I suffered with dyspepsia which so degenerated my entire system that I was unable to attend to my daily duties. I felt weak and nervous, and nothing that late tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures, but nothing seemed to hel? me. I was ad vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial, and was happily surprised to find that it acted like a Ono tonic, and in a lew days I began,to enjoy and properly digest my food. My recovery was rapid, and in five weeks I was a well woman. I have rec ommended it to many suffering women." No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unquali fied endorseraent.or hassuch a record of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

'""' SUPPOSED WIFE-SLAYER RELEASED Planter Told Careful Story and Was Contradicted Little in Material Facts by Succeeding Witnesses. Columbia, Special.-The inquest in the case of Rebecca Planter, the neg ro woman found some days ago in the river near the Broad river bridge, waa held Tuesday night in the court house. There was the usual lengthy amount of testimony and although some of it was easily obtained because of the intelligence of the witnesses, the remainder was tangled up in a shroud of hesitation and stupidity. Few facts were really developed but this was not the fault of Coroner Walker, for he carefully and painsta kingly and without impatience cross examined the densest of the witness es. . The jury retired about ll o'clock and were out but a short time before they returned a verdict that the dead woman came to her death at the hands of unknown parties. The woman's husband, who has been in jail under suspicion since Saturday, will be re leased today. The Testimony. It was the opinion of Dr. L. A. Grif fith, who conducted the autopsy, that the woman was strangled to .death, not drowned. This he was led to be iieve by the fact that there was no water or mud in the lungs. Dr. Grif fith said that there were no marks of external violence, but had there been' tney would have been masked by the fact that the body was so badly de composed that the skin was loose and slipping. One thing which he noticed during the autopsy was that the hyoid bone, whict is located just about the region of the collar button, had be come detached from the trachea. ThiB may have been done if the woman was choked to death, but may have been caused by the effect of the water on the body. Some little delay occurred while the main witness, Henry Planter, was be* lng brought to the court house. He finally appeared in the custody of Jailer Meadows. Planter is quite an ordinary looking negro, but was quite calm and self possessed from the time that his handcuffs were unlocked un til he completed his testimony. Planter went carefully and slowly, but with little hesitation, through a wealth of testimony, describing exact ly where he had been from Saturday afternoon until he met the sheriff on Wednesday morning, when he was ar rested. Planter says that he met the sheriff and was told to come to his office next morning. Arriving there he was arrested. His inquiries included a visit to po lice headquarters with the. woman's father. According to Planter's story his search for his wife after she did not appear at their home on Saturday night, April 1, was thorough. If he can be believed., he visited almost ev ery place where he could find a clue. He gave without difficulty the names of the people he had seen and those whose homes he had visited during the interval, until he had the fact of his wife's disappearance published, visiting The State office on Tuesday following the niguc she had first been absent. Planter's tale was a pretty straight one, and he was not materially contra dicted by the witnesses who followed him. However, several assertions were made which were significant, and some which were not alluded to in his own statement. Col. John C. Haskell was at the inquest to see that Planter received fair treatment. William Perry, father of the woman was examined first. The salient por tion of his testimony was his assertion that when Henry Planter had told him on Sunday morning of his child's disappearance he felt that something must have happened to her. His im plicit faith in his daughter's habits and virtue led him to this belief. JJe testiSo? tkat PJagter. toiil him Tuesday morning that his daughter was undoubtedly, dead, and further, that at his solicitation Planter went with him to police headquarters. Perry seemed to imply that the domestic re lations of the Planters were not al ways smooth. The first new statement injected in the testimony was the statement made by David Grant, whose home Planter had visited early Sunday morning while searching for his wife. In course of conversation Planter told him that Anderson Strand had threat ened to kill his wife and he believed she was dead. A very intelligent witness was the small negro girl, Maggie Perry, who testified that Planter came to her home on Saturday night and after ask ing for his wife he had taken the key to his homo and a kerosene can. She said .that this was the front door key, while Planter had been positive that it was the- back door key. She said that she had been at the Planter home on Saturday afternoon when both were there, and had heard Henry ask his wife to ride out to Ridgewood park with him. David Grant is one of the men whom Planter had visited Sunday morning while" looking for his wife; and Rosa Perkins is Planter's sister, at whose home he spent some time since the disappearance, louag Multry lives at thc home where Planter came to get the key and oil can. He and his wife, Bebecca Multry, testified, and so did Elsie Adams, an aunt of the dead wemau. The latter, was a particularly good witness and worthy of note in her testimony was the "fact that Plan ter had not been to visit her in five years until he came Sunday to ask if his wife was there. Wm. Coultry, well known as a hack driver, testified that when Planter came to his house on Sunday, April 1, he told him that threats had been made to kill his wife. He also said, according to Coultry, that he asked his wife to go to Ridgewood, hoping it would pacify her after a row they had had. Anderson Stroud, a negro laborer with stains of whitewash on his shoes, had heard quarrels between the Plant ers but this was two months ago. He saw Rebecca Planter about dark on either Friday or Saturday afternoon. He said that although living next the Planters he had never had any diffi culty with either. Sheriff Coleman testified that when Rebecca Planter's body was found her skirts were turned, up and pinned around her neck. He also testified t?at Planter made half a dozen statements to him but Col. Haskell objected to this on the ground of incompetency. Mr. E. h. Mattison of Van Meter's undertaking establishment corroborat ed the sheriff. From the testimony of Dr. Griffith and Mr. Mallison it seems very prob able that che woman was strangled to death and Sheriff Coleman's testimony about her clothing strengthens the be lief that she was murdered. Perhaps her husband may have committed the crime and he is undoubtedly a sly negro. There wa.-, some surprise that the jury did not hold him for inves tigation. This would not necessarily mean an indictment for murder but dimply a way to find cut the facts. On Scriptural Grounds Only. Norfolk, Va., Special.-At the April meeting of tho Intcv-Denominational Ministerial Union of Tidewater, Vir ginia, Monday, the committee recently oppointed by the.union on the divorce question recommended that the laws of Virginia be so changed that divorces will he allowed on scriptural grounds only, and further, that all ministers re fuse to marry divorced persons in the future unless the divorce has been se cured on such grounds.

PALMETTO CROP BULLETIN Conditions as Outlined By Department cf Agriculture. The week ending S a. m., Monday the 10th, began with high tempera tures and fair weather. Showery con ditions with rain, hail, sleet and snow flurries prevailed from 4th to the 6th inclusive. The hail did some damage to tobacco and strawberries in the northwestern countries. The sleet and snow were confine-? tc the western and central counties and did very lit tle damage. The snow occurred in the western and central counties but was not general, and it melted as i fell. The rainfall varied from less tba a half an inf" i to over an inch, and was very well distributed and beneficial to growing vegetation and put the soil into excellent condition for cultiva tion; it was heavey enough to stop plowing over the western counties, but scarcely interferred with farm work in other sections. The-frost on the 7th was general over tho State to within about six miles cf the coast. It was killing over the western counties where the minimum temperature fell to about 40 below freezing, and generally light in all other sections. Tender garden vegetables, such as beans, and toma toes were more or less injured, and corn was nipped in the western, coun ties, although the damage was slight as there was but little up. Fruit is io Juli donnai ia the extreme roi-. ern counties and the frosts wu-s io places, quite damaging, but elsewhere it is not believed that fruit was mia terially injured, except figs in places and possibly peaches. Farmwoik is well advanced gener ally, though backward in some sec? tions where labor is scarce. Corn planting is nearly finished in the eastern and central counties where most of it is up to fairly good stands; in the western counties planting is well under way on uplands. Cotton planting has been begun in the east ern parts and will be begun in the western ones next week. Some cotton ?3 already up. Tobacco plants are' small in Marion and they were slight ly injured by the hail which fell in sections. Rice planting is making rap id progress in the Colleton district and has not begun in the Georgetown dis tricts where the proposed acreage will be smaller than usual. Some sweet potatoes have been planted in the southwestern counties. The small grain crops are generally doing well and look promising, but in some sections the oats crop is poor; rye is heading. Pastures afford good grazing in the coast counties. Gar dens vary greatly, being poor in places and backward, while in others early vegetables are on the market.
