The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, July 9, 1902. State News. f Some tobacco in the eastern section of the State brings as high as Los cents a pound. (They are having a mad dog scare in Greenville, a number of the animals having put in an appearance. There is a movement on foot to organize a new county from the upner -nnrtions of Soarianburer and r c ? ? L a Greenville counties. Jesse Eiwards was killed near Calhoun Mills in Abbeville by Emanuel Wright in a difficulty about a cow injuring the crop. Both are negroes and Wright has surrendered. "Pavement earth" is a new sub stance discovered in Camden. It will pack after being rained on almost as hard as rock. Tni3 earth is said to be the finest in the world for street purposes. It is said in Augusta on reliable authority that there is a movement on foot by the Atlantic Cost Line to | consolidate the Georgia Railroad and and Charleston & Western Carolina and put up the consolidated under one set of officials. W. F. Willingharn was attacked by two men while driving from Newry to Seoeca a few nights ago, and about $35 or $40 taken from him. He was shot at several times, one ball passing through the calf of his right leg. Powder burns were on each wound. He is getting on very well. k There is a man living not many V miles from Camben who has raised a family of nine boys, the youngest one now being about grown and as large as his father, and a doctor has never been called to see one of them. That lightning never strikes twice in the same place has been refuted by an incident in Laurens, where it struck cncs in 1873, killing seven head of cattle, and again a few days ago, killing a negro and a mule. Need More Help. Often the over-taxed organs of digestion cry out for help by Dyspepsia's pains, nausea, dizziness, headaches, liver complaints, bowel disorders. Such troubles call for prompt use of Dr. King's New Life Pills. They are gentle, thorough and guaranteed to cure. 25c., at J. E. Kaufmann's drug store. "Hell Roaring Jack" Smith. Washington, July 2 ?The verdict of the courtmartia! that recently tried Gen. Jacob H. Smith, of the Philipk nino ftrmo in in {inr?t wniltr hnf. j v.*-*--, -W don't do it again." It was learned toV day that the court held that General * Smith exceeded his authority in issuing his famous "kill and burn" and "howling wilderness" order to Major Waller. The view of the court, bowL ever, was that the general's offense was palliated by the practical un precedented conditions. But the mm court held that he was intemperate W in the language of the order. 2Tot to be Abandoned. London, July 2 ?A bulletin issued this morning states: "The king has had another excellent night and is making steady progress in all respects His wound is much less troublesome and is beginning to heal." By the express wish of the king the coronation will take place at the earliest possible date, but will be much quieter than originally intepded, and its religious character will be strongly emphasized.

At a recent meeting of the cabinet the terms of an amnesty proclamation to the Filipinos, which was issued on the Fourth of July, were agreed upon. The war department for some time past has had under consideration the draft of a procla mttion and has found it necessary to make a numberof changes in its text. The proclamation declared that a state of peace now exists in the Philippine islands, save in the parts of the archipelago where the Mindanao or Pagan tribes are giving the United States a great deal of trouble, and declared that with the transfer of the government of the archipelago from a military to a civil status all those arrested and held for poliiicaloffence shall be restored to liberty, granted full amnesty and allowed to participate in tbe civil government that is to be inaugurated on the islands. Brain Food Nonsense. Another ridiculous food fad ha? 'been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of the body, but it will sustain every other part. Yet,' however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. lTou must prepare for their appearance or prevent their comiog by taking regular doses of Green's August Flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions.

Get Green's Special Almanac After Twenty Tears. An Escaped Negro Murderer Captured in Georgetown. Governor Aycook of North Carolina, has notified Governor McSweeDey that he has issued requisition papers for Dan Gould, alias Thomas Madday, who wac captured in Georgetown recently. Gould is a condemned negro murderer aDd his case is one of the mo9t remarkable ever recorded. Gould killed a white man with a fence rail in Anson county over 20 years ago and was tried in Mont gomery county aDd sentenced to be banged. Before the day of his execu tion arrived he broke j*il and made his escape. Since then be has not been seen until about ten days ago, when he was arrested under another name at Georgtown. He denied his identity and refused to go to North Carolina without a rr quisition. The North Carolina ofLjiale investigated the case most carefully, and they are of the opinion that the negro is undoubtedly Gould, who has so long escaped justice. The record in Montgomary and Anson were hunted up and formal application made to Governor Aycock for a requisition. When Gould is taken bick it will be Governor Ay cock's duty to set a date for his execution. He has has already been convicted snd no further trial can be held. Not another case in the State of North Carolina is recalled where a man has been convicted of murder, sentenced, then escaped and recaptured after twenty long years. There is a case, however, where a murderer was caught 25 years after his crime, tried and convicted. Usually though it is almost impossible to get the witnesses after so long a time.

Makes Trip O'er Sea and Escapes Cremation. Rivaling the tales of mythical fortune hunters is the experience cf a little Austrian stowaway in one of the boilers of the Umbria, which has just come into port. After the lad, who is 1G years of ape. had caveled 15,000 miles in quest of America, he at last was put in the hands of a friend who promised to care for him. His name is Bozo Gacino and he r t^_I i ^ f comes lrorn caimans, a province 01 Austria. His wondering began more than a year ago, when his father, a small farmer, gave him 100 florins and told him to seek America. With great glee the little Austrian left the village of Sebenico, for he and his elder brothers quarreled continually and he had a friend in America whom he loDged to join. After spending thirty of his florins i he reached Trieste, the sea port, | where he fell in with an obliging fellow who for the remaining 70 florins agreed to embark Bozo for America. Bozo gave up his florins and the stranger disappeared, leaving a discouraged little lad to return to Dal o " ~ matia. Gacino's father then apprenticed him to a druggist, but the boy soon j wearied of long hours and small j wages and ran away to Trieste, where j he hid in a steam ship bound for I Egypt. In Alexandria he strowed away in the Fabyrian and reached Liverpool a week later. Then he crawled into the hole of the Cunaraea, Saxonia. Upon reaching this port last spring he was speedily deported after he bad a fleeting glande at the busy harbor. When be was taken back to Liver- { pool he evaded the Eoglish emigration officials and for twenty days lived off crusts found in the gutters, but always keeping a water eye open for an American bound vessel, Fortune smilled upon his efforts on the night of June 13, just before the Umbria sailed. He crept upon the deck looking for a hideing plac3. A lantern was flashed in his face and the sentry, believing that he was one of the cabio boys, ordered him below Without realizing hi9 danger, the boy crawled into a boiler which furr- j ishes steam to the "donkey" engine. The boiler mas not used throughout the voyage, or otherwise the boy would have been burned to death. Some friendly stokers discovered his presence, but instead of disclosing his secret they fed him during the j voyage. On Thursday, however, McKechan j the refrigerator engineer, climbed on top of the boiler and proceeded to hadg up some of his washing to dry. Just as the engineer was preparing to climb down he was startled to see i a head bob up out of the opening in i the top of the boiler and thfn dis | appear again. McKechan crawled over to the man hole and peered into the darkness inside the boiler. He could dimly discern the outlines of a person, and he shouted to him to come out. Receiving no response, the engineer attempted to reach inside and grab j the boy's clothing, but was severely i bitten with pains. The engineer, satisfied that something was wrong, went to Chief En- j gineer Hardy, displayed his bleeding j fingers and reported the occurrence, j Hardy, thinking he had a mad man to deal with, called for volunteers to descend into the boiler and two (f the stokers responded. Dr. Charles Burland, the ship's surgeon, was also called and stood by to render his services if needed. When the stokers got inside the boiler they found that the boy had crawled underneath the tubes on the top of the furnace. After a struggle and some tight squeezir g past the tubes they managed to get | their prisoner up to the manhole entrance, where he was quickly pulled | out. All laughed when they saw the supposed lunatic. He was locked up it. -1 1- * ? 1 in tue sieamsnip a nospitai ana wnen the vessle reached the port a vigorous search for the bold lad's friend was made. He was soon located in Harlem and signed papers which yermittee the young Dalmatian to remain in the United States. : [ALL WOSflEN J Wine of Cardui is the guardian m of a woman's health and liappi- B ness from youth to c!d a^c.
