blood will at'
tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
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. When
'writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make ail}*
mistake, but remember the name, SwampRoot,
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the 1
address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every
bottle.

MRS. E. I WILSON
ASSASSINATED.
SHOT AS SHE LAY ITT BED
WITH HEE YOUITG BABE.
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.

Willing1 to Retire.
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

"When I was a druggist, at Livonia,
Mo." writes T. J. Dwyer, now of Graysville,
Mo., "three of my customers were
permanently cured of consumption by
Dr. King's New Discovery, and are well
and strong today. One was trying to
sell his property and move to Arizona,
but after using New Discovery a short
time he found it unnecessary to do so. I
regayd Dr. King's New Discovery as the
most wonderful medicine in existence."

Bailroad Bate Bill in a Nut
Shell.
The principal purpose of the railroad
rate bill passed is to permit the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
fix rates. The provision conferring
this authority is found in the fourth
section of the bill and amends section
15 of the Interstate Commerce law so
as to accomplish that result. That
section directs the commission to investigate
complaints of unjust and unreasonable
charges on the part of
common carriers in the transportation
of nersons. cf property or of regula
tions or of practices affecting such
changes. It also authorizes an inquiry
as to whether the rates or practices
are "unjustly discriminatory or unduly
preferential or prejudicial or
otherwise in violation of the act,"
and in any case any of these conditions
are found to exist the commission
is empowered to determine and
prescribe what will be the just and
reasonable maximum rate and what
regulation or practice is just, reasonable
and fair. Further, authority is
given the commission to enforce its
orders and they are to go into effect
within thirty days and continue in effect
for two years unless suspended,
modified or set aside by the commission
by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Other powers conferred by this
section: To apportion joint fares,
establish through routes and ntaxi|
mum joint rates, and prescribe their
division and to determine the compensation
to be paid to shippers doing
service for carriers.
