Tonage. Polite and Pr
Brookland lias a Man Hnnt
with Bloodhounds Causing
Much Excitement
Brookland, May 30. ? Yesterday
Brookland had a man-hunt all her own
and while it lasted caused considerable
excitement. Abont 10 o'clock yesterday
morning two unknown negroes
went into the store of O. E. Still & Co.
and asked to be shown some shoeB.
They were rather particular, wanted
nothing under three and a half or |
four dollars. Mr. Still showed them
several pairs of shoes and while the
the negroes were looking at them he
stepped behind the counter for another
pair. As soon as Nr. Still turned his
back one of thenegroes picked up a
shirt from a box on the counter and
stuffed it into the pocket of his overalls^ffWhen
Mr. Still turned around
he rjpticed the shirt and asked the
negiy where he got it. The n^gro replied
that he bought it in Columbia.
Mr. Still told him the shirt came
from his stock and took it from him.
He then called to his saleslady Miss
Goff to look for a policeman, the negro
also started for the door. Mr. Still called
to him thi ee times not to leave the
store, but the negro kept a going. As
he went out for his gun and followed
to the side-walk and called to the
negro to halt, but instead he ran.
Mr. Still followed for half block,
when the negro ran into a side street.
As he did so Mr. Still fired twice at
the fieeing man, but does not think he
hit him. Both were running and under
such circumstances he had not
time to aim accurately. By this time
fifteen or twenty men had joined the
chase and followed the negro for an
hour or more, the negro leading them
through Cayce, past the phosphate
mill in the direction of Orangeburg. It
is said the negro did some running
Sheriff Miller arrived about this time
and at once got dogs from the penitentiary
and a party of 35 or 40 left in automobiles
to take up the chase some
two miles from here, where the first
party, almost exhausted from the run,
had abandoned the chase. The dogs
readily caught the trail. The negro
was sighted again within 100 yards of
where the first party left. The men
were in sight of him several times,
and the dogs bayed him three times
but the negro wonld fight them off
and make another dash for liberty.
At one time the machine of Dr.
Geiger got within three feet of ihe
negro, and one of the party called to
him to halt or he would shoot. The
negro looked back and seeing no gnn,
although apparently almost exhausted
put on more speed. Mr. Stucky ran
him bnt could not catch him. Se 7er?
al others had similar experiences.
After a chase of several hoars, the
doge exhausted from the heat and exertion,
refused to run any more, came
to their master and laid down. Ihe
men also were tired out and the chase
had to be given up. The negro is low
and stont and black. Both of the negroes
that entered the store of Mr.
Still Are unknown in this community.
Several believe they belong to the
gang that has recently been breaking
into the stores of Lexington County.
- Shex iff Miller has some inside informotion
which he thinks may possibly
lead to an early arrest of them.
Calomel is unsafe
Local Druggist Who Sells Dod
_ wu
son's Liver Tone Guarantees
It to Take the Place of
Calomel.
If your liver is not working just
right, you do not need to take a
chance on getting knocked all out by
a dose of calomel. Go to The Harmon
Drug Co. who sells Dodson's Liver
Tone, and pay 50 cents for a large bottle.
You will get a harmless vegetable
remedy that will start your liver without
violence, and if it does not give
complete satisfaction tbe druggist will
refund your money with a 6mile.
If you buy a bottle of Dodson's Liyer
Tone for yourself or your children,
you have insured your family relief
from attacks of constipation, bilioasness,
lazy liver and headache. It is as
beneficial and safe for children as for
adults. A bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone is something every man or wo
man should keep iu the house. Your
money is safe because you can return
the bottle if it tails to satisfy. adv.

E. C. Campbell Given
2 Years For Bigamy.
Eugene 0. Campbell, self-confessed
bigamist of Colombia, S. 0., was sentenced
Monday, in criminal court, by
Judge Prank B. Gary, to serve two
years at such labor as he is able to
perform. Judge Gary stated in passI
ing sentence on Campbell that he took
into consideration the physical condition
of the defendant and telling him
that by entering a plea of guilt he had
acted wiselv. CamDbell hrnke down
and tears flowed freely as he was
being sentenced.
The Campbell case is familiar to
the public. On February 8, 1913, he
married Miss Emma Small, danghter
of D. M. Small, while he had a lawful
wife and children living, residents of
Columbia, where Miss Small also resided.
After marrying Miss Small
who was only about 15 years old,
they went to Atlanta, where Campbell
was arrested and brought back to
Columbia.
Dispensary Petitions All In.
The advocates of the dispensary in
this county on Saturday filed petitions
with the county supervisor, asking for
an election on the proposition of reestablishing
the dispensary in Lexington
county.
It is claimed that upwards of two
thousand names are on the list. Su- ,
pervisor Corley will, however, make '
a thorough examination of the petitions <
before ordering the election, and it 1
will be several weeks, he says, before
lift r?an nnflflihlv mabft anv anruvrmfto
ment. If the petitions are legal, and
it is found that the requisite number
ha9 asked for the election the super- '
visor will act favorably; on the other 1
hand, if it is fcund that the petitions j
do not come up to the requirements 1
of the law, the supervisor will refuse to
order an election. "This is too im- 't
portant a matter to pass over without ;
careful consideration," said ^Supervisor
Oorley yesterday, "and I am going
to look into the matter carefully before
I make a decision.''
