Some- two weeks ago Stiles Moore, of Wont Union, was arroeted and lodged in jail in Walhalla on a serious charin. Tho preliminary trial was held Monday morning before Magistrate A. P. Crisp, and upon the evidence adduced at this hearing Moore was remanded to jail to await trial at the June term of tho Ses sions Court for Ooonee. Moore is a young married man, proba bly 34 or 86 years of age, and be and his wife have lived in Weat Union ever since their marriage. Some years ago they adopted as their child a little girl by the name of Sallie Tilley. Both her father and mother are dead. This ohild ls now the mother of an infant, born last Aprii. The ohild-mother is now between 14 and 16 years of age, a pitiable object to be hold. Moore stands accused of the crime of seducing his infant adopted daughter, and lt is on this charge, which, owing to the extreme youth of the vic tim, is equivalent to and regarded by the law as rape. Some time back the Tilley girl was sent to Abbeville county, the Moores olaiming that she was suffering from dropsy. It was while there that she gave birth to her ohild. Moore denies that he is the author of the crime and the young woman's disgrace, but there is evi dence of substantial form to the con trary, be boiug directly accused by the wronged girl, and corroborative testi mony of reliable witnesses tending to bear out her story. Moore will doubtless remain in jail uutil the time for his trial before tbe Sessions Court, as it is not within the power of a Magistrate to permit bail on so serious a charge, and it is just about a month until Court will oonvene. At the preliminary trial, it is said, there waa in tense but suppressed feeliug against the accused. TO CVBE A <'OM) IN ONN DAY. Take LAXATIVE BKOMO QUININE Tablets.

Why Suffer from Rheumatism. Why suffor from rheumatism when one application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm will relievo the pain? The quick relief whioh this liniment affords makes rest and sleep possible, and that alone is worth many times its cost.
