Bladder troubles almost alwavs result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in- passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary m effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new discovery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kiim mer & Co., Binghamton, X. Y.

Supposed Assassian and an Accomplice Mow in Augusta Jail?Mr. Wilson Can Identify the Negro He Ordered Off. Mrs. E. S. Wilson, wife of a well known farmer, living about 12 miles from Aiken, was shot through a broken pain of glass last Wednesday morning about 2 o'clock, as she le.y asleep in bed with her young babe, and so fatally wounded that she died liUUlO dlfC'a. \\ Ui viB. Mr. "Wilson and two of his children were asleep in an adjoining' room. When the shot was tired Mi's. Wilson jumped from her bed and screamed I have been shot. Somebody has killed me," and ran into her husband'ss room, where she fell. She afterward became conscious, and stated that she had no idea who shot her; that she was asleep at the time. Later she lapsed into sem-conscicusness and lingered until 3 last night, when she died. Early in the night Mr. Wilson had seen a strange negro loitering around his premises. Having asked the man his business and received no satisfactory answer, he drove him off the place. It is believed that this negro was Bill Lumford, and that he returned. Excitement and indignation ran rife on Beech Island. As soon as the sad story was heard from Mr. Wilson's lips every effort was made by friends and neighbors to accomplish the capture of the guilty party. The trail was warm, and it led, apparently, to Bill Lumford. The tracks of a man who wore rubber-heeled shoes were followed without a break from the Wilson place to the Carolina side of the Hamburg bridge. Detective Howard, following other clues, had Lumford arrested. The prisoner's shoes were taken from him, and Detective Howard personally went across the river to see whether or not they fit the tracks. So far as could be ascertained in the road, they did. The imprint of the rubber heels was damning circumstantial evidence. To make assurance doubly sure, the shoes were given to Mr. P. B. Page, a friend of Mr. Wilson's, who first brought the news of the tragedy to Augusta, and Mr. Page will fit them to tfte still clearer impressions made in the loose ground on the Wilson place. Up to a a late hour last night' Mr. Page had not reported the result of this experiment. Other minor but important points converge to the same center. Responsible parties are reported to have seen two negroes whose description corresponds to that of the prisoners, crossing the Hamburg bridge in the gray dawn of the morning their clothing covered with dust. It is said that Mr. Wilson would be able to identify the negro whom he ordered off his place. It is the theory of those acquainted with the circumstances that the bullet was intended for Mr. Wilson by some one bent on robbery. It is believed that the scream of the unfortunate woman frightened the man off. Mv Wileirm iras so stnnnod and so engrossed by his wife's condition that he was unable to make any search for some time afterward. And now Bill Lumford, colored, lies in the Richmond county jail, with circumstantial evidence pointing to him as the murderer. Tom Williams, another negro, is locked up under suspicion, as an accomplice in the crime. The case was worked up by Detective Howard of the Augusta city police. The only clue found about the house were footprints made by shoes with rubber heels, one having a hole in it. The shoes corresponding were found on the feet of Bill Lumford, when he was arrested. It is said that these negroes are from Spartanburg. Later. Aiken, May 24.?Sheriff Raburn has not returned from Beech Island, where he went yesterday afternoon to investigate the assassination of Mrs. Ed Wilson, which occurred there early Wednesday morning. He is not expected back before midnight. It is said here that relatives of Mrs. | Wilson have demanded the arrest of I Mr. Wilson himself, whom they allege ! killed ms wire, it is turtner saia mat ! these relatives charge Wilson with gross cruelty to his wife. They say that Wilson is a hard drinker and that several times while under the influence of drink he has beaten her unmercifully. A short time ago her brothers retaliated upon him by adi ministering* a sound thrashing. That the Wilsons were not a peaceful family seems to have been known by the neighbors generally. It cannot be learned here yet whether Mr. Wilson has been arrested or not. Mrs. Ed ! Wilson was a niece of ex-Clerk of Court John N. Hankinson, who now resides at Whitepond. She was an estimable lady and highly regarded in her community. The tar that is contained in Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar is harmless.

A certain prcsv preacher recently I , gave an endless discourse on the prophets. First he dwelt at length on the minor prophets. At last he j finished them, and the congregation I o-avc a sigh of relief. He took a long | o | breath and continued: 4'Now, I shall I proceed to the major prophets." After the major prophets had received more than ample attention, the congregation gave another sigh of relief." Nov that I have finished with the minor prophets and major prophets, what about Jeremiah? Where is Jeremiah's place?" At that point a tall man arose in the back of the church. "Jeremiah can have my place," he said. "I'm going home."?San Francisco Argonaut. Policeman vfhitQ Acquitted. Anderson, May 25.?The jury in the case of J. B.
