A TOUCHING STORY J.
his
is the saving from death, of the f0j,
baby girl of Geo. A. Eyles, Cumberland,
Md. He writes: "At
the age of 11 months, our little tw<
girl was in declining health, with serious
Throat Trouble, and two otr
physicians gave her up. Wo were Jig
almost in despair, when we resolved
to try Dr. King's New Dis* ?,
covery for Consumption, Coughs c
and Colds. The first bottle gave car
relief;after taking four bottles she coi
was cured, and is now in perfect etr
health." Never fails to relieve 6B

e Killing of Mr. TrayiicK
t Believed Feasible Mr. Mcluish's
Bullet Indicted Fatal
Wound.
the Editor of The State:
In view of the fact that many
jounts of the.killing of Mr Wal
Traywick at Cheraw on the
1 of January have been publied
in various nowspapers, both
this stato and inNorth Carolina
of which are uiore or less in
nirato and misleading and all of*
Mil without exception doing Mr.
ilntosh groat injustice and placid
him in n very false and painful
sition,l beg in justico to Mr Mc
tosh, to publish the following
:ount of the matter: I was
are at the time and therefore
eak with full knowledge of the
iolo occurrence.
On the afternoon in question Mr
clntosh was (shooting sparrows
the ground back of the depot.
10 ground at the point is an ep*
field running off level for a
ig distance, dropping off rather
arply into a valley. Mr. Trayck
had gone to examine some
a her. It was in this valley Mr.
aywick received the fatal
?und. Owing to the formation
the ground,"a-^ person at that
int could not be seen from
lere Mr. Mclntoih was standing,
ing hidden by the hill.
The gun used by Mr Mcintosh
is a Mnall 22 calibre rifle and
s cartridges were 22 shorts.
)w the distance from where Mr
clntosh was standing to the
int where tho first mark of
3od was found in the valley is,
actual measurement, 250 yards
d, as there ^ was no external
morrhuge,the point at which Mr
aywick was wounded must have
an some distance beyond the
;t blood marks, which was spit
from the lungs. MrTraywick
Iked before'falling from ^where
was woundedTto withnTabeut
/TA ' ' * * *
or <uyaru8 ox] the railroad
ick.
Iho ball that infiioted the
und entered hie right side, near
) collar bone,ranging downward
ough both lungs and^lodged in
i liver on the left'side, having
ised through two thicknesses of
coat, where the collar was
ded over, through the collar
1 body of the vest and through
3 slurts.
Now, in view of the great penation
of the bullet and the long
tance, it is incredible that
ould have been 6red by Mr.
'.Intosh; a 22 short could lot
ry 250 yards; and taking into
isideration the romarkable penation
of the ball it becom
an impossibility,
The probability is Mr. Trayck
wub accidentally^shot whilo in
near the outskirts of the woods
someno hunting in the woods.
