A FACT
ABOUT THE "BLUES"
What is known as the "Blues'
is seldom occasioned by actual existing
external conditions, but in the
great majority of cases by a disordered
LIVER, i
THIS IS A FACT
which may be demonstrated
by trying a course of

They control and regulate the LIVER.
They bring hope and bouyancy to the
mind. They bring health and elasticity
to the body.
TAKE NO SUBSTITUTE.
Every Vote is Needed.
Remember that the general election
is on Tuesday, November 4th.
Look up your registration certificate
and pin your tax receipt to it. Both
are essential to vote in the general

instrument designed to chop all kinds I
of tneats, saw or cooked, and all kinds I
of frnit8 and vegetables into cleancut,
uniform pieces, fine or course as
wanted without mashing, and with
great rapidity. It does away with
the chopping knife and bowl entirely, j
doing its work in one-tenth of the j
time and producing an absolutely j
uniform product. See it in operation ;
at the fair grounds.

A Pretty Wedding.
A very pretty church wedding took 1
place in the Baptist church in this
place last Sunday, October 19 ;h, 1902, j
the contracting parties being Mr. j
W. E. Gibbes, a popalar employee of |
the Lexington Mfg Co., and Miss
Maggie, the beautiful and charming
daughter of Mr. Frank Barrett. The
bride was becomingly attired in
handsome gown and wore a pretty
bridal veil. The attendants werew
dressed in the usual wedding garments.
Rev- W. D. Quick, of the
Methodiet denomination, performed
the ceremony. 7The church was not
large enough to contain the friends
of this popular young couple who
had gathered to witness them launch
their barque upon the stream of life
and wish them a long and happy
voyage. The wedding march was
charmingly and sweetly rendered by
Mrs. Fannie Roof, the accomplished
musical directress at the Palmetto
Collegiate Institute.

Fence Ordered.
Th9 committee having in charge
the matter of securing subscriptions
to put a neat and substantial iron
fence around St. Stephens' cemetery
in this place, held a meeting in the
furniture store of Mr. Scott Hendrix
last Friday afternoon. All of the
members of committee made reports
of the sums obtained and while the
total amount reported was not as large
as the committee would like, yet it
was so eECouraging that the committee
decided to select the desigD,
and order the fencing, trusting to
the liberality of those who have dead
buried there to make the deficit good.
It was also decided at this meeting
to ask the female members of families
who have loved ones sleeping in
this beautiful city of the dead to
form an association for the purpose
of keeping the grounds in a neat and
attractive appearance.
Eleven Men Killed.'
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 19 -,-Tbree
white men and eight negroes are re
ported to have been killed in a race
riot at Littleton, Ala., a small town
25 miles southeast of this Ncity tonight.
The number of wounded has
not yet been ascertained.
A special train carrying Sheriff Andrew
W. Bergen and ten deputies
left for the scene of the riot at 10
o'clock tonight.
The riot is said to have been caused
bv a crowd of nesrroes attacking a
^ u ? n
white woman who was paseiDg over a
railroad bridge en route home from a
visit to a nighbor.
As soon as the white citizens of the
town learned of the attack they immediately
began their search for the
woman's assailants. The negroes re
fused to deliver the woman's assailants
and armed themselves to protect
their leaders. When the posse arrived
the negroes opened fire, killing
three of the officers. The deputies
returned the fire, killing eight negroes.
.
Owing to the large number of nearness
whn nntnnmhered the whites
ten to one, the posse was forced to
retreat. The negroes are reported to
be in complete possession of the town
and have entrenched themselves.
The negroes have captured a powder
magazine, the property of a coal
company, and are strongly fortified.
2 A. M.?A newspaper representative
who returned from Littleton at
1 o'clock reported that the situation
was serious. The following list of
identified wounded has been obtained:
Joe Thompson, white, shot in
bowels, serious.
"Ira Creol, white, missing.
John Baer, negro, shot in heel.
Will To1v?ert, negro, shot in chest,
serious.
The first information of the riot received
here was a telegram to Sheriff
Bergen from Littleton, stating that
a white man had been killed and that
the negroes had armed themselves to
resist all attempts at arrest. It is
stated that the white woman the negroes
attacked was severely injured.
