Death of Mrs. W. T. Brooker.
One of the saddest deaths that has
occurred in Lexington county in a
number of years was that of Mrs. W.
T. Brooker, the beloyed wife of Dr.
W. T. Brooker, which occurred at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. W. H
Simpson, of Fairfax, on February,
28th. Her death was unexpected and
and a shock to the community.
? Mrs. Brooker's whole life was one of
h>?vntifnl a-ram nli fixation of the Chris
ti&o graces; her disposition was sweet
and lovely and her personality was
charming. Many will rise up and
oail her blessed in that Great Day for
the good she did while sojourning on
, earth. The memory of her will linger
as sweet incense in the heart of her
friends and neighbors until the perfect
d?7.
Mrs. Brooker leaves, besides her
. husband, the following children: Mrs.
W. H. Simpson, Fairfax; W. L.
Brooker, snpt. of the city graded
schools, Florence; A. H. Brooker, of
Cordele, Ga., Dr. Lacios C. Brooker,
of Swansea, Misses Isabel, Ethel and
Blanche Brooker of Swansea, W. T.
Brooker, Jr., Colombia, and Miss
Edith Brooker, of the Greenville Female
college.
Our sympathies go oat to the stricken
family in this time of their sore
affliction bnt they are consoled with
the thoaght that some day they will
meet again in the bright hereafter
an nnbroken family.

"Moonshine" Plant Caught
On Friday night Sheriff Sim J. Miller
succeeded in capturing a liquor
still near Jefcoat's bridge, on the
Edisto River in the extreme lower
section of this county. The still is supposed
to have been the property of J.
Pat Cooper and his son, James Cooper.
The old man is said to have been
operating a still on his premises for
twenty years the State and county
officers having given much time in an
effort to locate it. At 10 o'clock Friday
night Sheriff Miller received a
a telephone message to the effect that
the still was in operation, and the
officer accompanied by his son, Vasco
Miller, left at 10:30 by automobile for
1 the scene.
T
The Sons of Rest held an important
meeting last week at which an elaborate
program was arranged for the
. summer's enjoyment.

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Lexington
Citizen.
The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man come9 forward
and testifies to his fellow-citizens,
addresses his friends and neighbors,
yon may be sure he is thoroughly
convinced or he would not do so.
Telling one's experience when it is for
the public good is an act of kindness
that tm >uld be appreciated. The following
statement given by a resident
of Lexiugton adds one more to the
many cases of Home Endorsement
which are being published about

Efforts were made as soon as his escape

Chronic Stomach
Trouble Cured.
There i9 nothing more discouraging
than a chronic disorder of the stomach,
and it is nor surprising that many
suffer for years with such an ailment
when a permanent cure is within their
reach and may be had for a trifle.
"About one vear ago," says P. H.
Beck, of Wakelee, Mich., "I bought a
nackaorfl of nhMnhArlain'flTahlAtu anri
since using them I have felt perfectly
well. I had previously used any number
of different medicines, but none of
them were of any lasting benefit."
