Royster ' 10 Co. : The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, February 26, 1908. Lever Must Select A Wife. We publish the following from the New York Sun, under date of Feb. 13: "Since the announcement made bySpeaker Cannon recently that Representative Lever, of South Carolina, must marry on or before April 1 or be forced to wed a woman to be selected for him by a committee of the House the brilliant young Congressman from the Palmetto State has been receiving proposals from all parts of the country. Eligible maidens who have overlooked thus far have been taking advantage of their leap year privilege and have showered offers by the score upon Mr. Lever. One of the offers which he received to-day was from a young woman in Tacoma, Wash., who wrote modestly that while she , .did not regard herself as a beauty, still she knew that she had accomplishments which were more to be desired in a wife than mere charm of face and figure. In concluding her letter the y7oung woman said: "If you want any recommendation I would refer you to Congressman T r?%v? n Po/IA VUSUUltlU. J. ouiovacu uio iav/C iui him eighteen years ago when he tried to kiss me." "Mr. Lever took the letter to Mr. Cushman, who has just announced himself as the tallest candidate for the Presidency, and asked for confir* mation. " 'I wouldn't blame any young woman for slapping the face of an ugly cuss like me for attempting to kiss her," explained Cushman. "I don't remember the incident, and kissing a girl was so unusual a thing for me that I think I would even now recollect a rebuff of that character." "Mr. Lever, however, is inclined to believe from Mr. Cushman's manner that the attempted kissing episode actually occurred, and that the young woman was fully justified in her action. Mr. Lever hasn't accepted any invitations to marry, but is still open ' to engagement. : Simple Remedy for La Grippe La grippe coughs are dangerous as ; they frequently develop into pneumonia. , Foley's Honey ana Tar not only stops the cough hut heals and strengthens : the lungs so that no serious results need > be feared.

Awaiting Lunacy Trial Man Hangs Self in Cell. Crazed by worry and despondency, 5 Edwin G. Scott, 41 years of age, a 1 bookkeeper, confined in the Tower in ^ Atlanta because of his mental con- ^ dition, committed suicide Wednesday night by hanging himself from a bunk ^ in his cell on the third floor, north ( wing. Scott was placed in the Tower Sun- s day afternoon, following two attempts ( last week to kill himself at his home, 1 726 West Peach tree. St. He first sought " to end his life by swallowing carbolic acid, but failed to take enough of the 1 poison. His mouth, tongue and 1 throat, however, were terribly burned. Two nights later the despondent book- 5 Keeper attempted to hang Himself in ' his home with a strong string, while | 1 Dr. J. W. Hurt was in the house attending Mrs. Scott, who was ill. This attempt was thwarted by the sick wife, who took the string from her husband. Fearing that in his insane condition Scott would make a further effort to kill himself, his relatives decided it best to have him committed to the Tower on the charge of lunacy for safe * keeping. Mrs. Scott has been in ill health for some time and was completely prostrated Thursday morning when informed of the tragic death of her husband. Scott had also been sick and for some time it had been noticed that he was very morose. He had his savings in the Neal bank and the failure of this institution aggravated his condition. He continued to grow worse and the worry over his own illness of his wife and the loss of his money finally unhinged his reason. Scott hanged himself with a belt taken from his overcoat, a pocket handkerchief, and a piece of cloth, torn from his underclothing. He spliced these, and, fastening one end of the improvised rope to the upper bunk in hi9 cell, made a noose on the other end and placed it about his neck. It ia onnnnspd that, hp thpri lav rJpTrn' nn the lower bunk and slowly strangled to death. Many Sleepless Nights, Owing to a Persistent Cough. Belief Found at Last. "For several winters past my wife i has been troubled with a most persist ent and disagreeable cough, which in variably extended over a period of several weeks and caused her many sleep: less nights," writes Will J. Hayner, editor of the Barley, Colo., Bulletin. "Various remedies were tried each year, with no beneficial results. In November last the cough again put in an appearance and my wife, acting on the suggestion of a friend, purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The result was indeed marvelous After i three doses the cough entirely disappear. ed and ha9 not manifested itself since.'' This remedy is sold by the Kaufmann Drug Co. Carolina Negro Hung. William Handy, a South Carolina s negro, was hanged at Easton, Pa., on ; Friday for the murder of Policeman Shuman last summer. Handy de, clared to the last that he did not re; member having shot the officer. Handy is known to have shot a de tective in New York some years ago. L ===============?= i I??????
