with other business, and the argument of the motion to dismiss the proceed^ ing and release the defendant took place this afternoon and lasted throughout the day. Judge Gage overruled the plea, and the defendant's counsel then tried to get a stay of proceedings so the plea could be passed upon by the supreme court; but this also was overruled, and the trial of Mrs. Hughes v was ordered to begin next Wednesday. Pay of Wltnetises. Greenville News, Thursday : Judge Gage yesterday made a ruling as to the pay of witnesses that is entirely new here, and it has put about 50 witnesses. who failed to pet their nav on 7 O" X W account of it, in a fighting humor. He rules that state witnesses in cases no billed or nol prossed shall receive no pay, although the authority of the court was used to compel their attendance, because the law is that only "material" witnesses shall be paid. This has acted as a great hardship on v some of the witnesses who have come here from long distances against their inclination, and will now have to pay all of their own expenses. There is some talk of bringing suit to make a test case of the matter ; but as uo single witness has enough at stake to incliue him to pay the cost of such litigation, it is likely that the suit will not be brought. V Disappeared In Greenville. The mysterious disappearance of John A. Benedict, of Athens, Ga., in Greenville, recently, is creating quite a sensation throughout the country. Mr. Benedict was cashier of the Exchange bank of Athens, and also proprietor of the Roller Cover company, nf the same nlace. He arrived in Greenville on May 23, for the purpose of visiting various cotton factories fro'n that point. He left bis hotel presumably to go to a livery stable and has not been seen since. His wife, in Athens, received a letter from him dated May 23; but bearing nothing further after that, started a search. Friends went to Greenville ; but have been uuable to get any information as to the missing man's whereabouts. The books of the Exchange bank of Athens have been examined and found to be correct. Fire In IVinnsboro. The residence of Mr. W. H. Flenniken was destroyed by fire between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock last Monday morning. The fire alarm was sounded ; but the house being built on a bill some distance from the town, the engines could do nothiug to save it. It m is supposed the fire was caused by rats taking matches to the attic, as it orijj inated there. Two of the girls sleeping upstairs awoke just in time to see the ceiling on fire, aud about to fall in on them. They then aroused the rest of the household down stairs; but the flames had made such rapid progress that they Were barely able to save themselves, a few pieces of furniture and some of the children's clothes. The family has the sympathy of the entire community, as this makes the second time the flames have made them homeless. Both the house and furniture were insured; but that will not replace many valuables that perished in the flames. * AT THE CHURCHES. associate reformed. Sunday Services.?YORK VILLE?

THOS. F. McDOW, Special Referee. April 15th, 1899. s 9t "STAFF OF DEATH." FEW men have made more successful experiments along the line of "healtl foods" than the eminent English physician, Dr. Rowbottom, and, therefore, his statements are entitled to serious consideration. Professor Rowbottom points oul that ordinary "white" Hour (know by us as fancy patent) bread is very largelj starch, which is more difficult of digestion than the entire wheat, and which tends tc bring dyspepsia, ossification, rigidity, decrepitude and an early old age. Furthermore, he holds that the mineral elements and phosphates?the strength giving food properties of the wheat kernelbeing darK colored, are the very properties lost in the effort to make flout "white." Therefore, he claims, "we maj call bread the 'staff of death' with as much propriety as we call it the 'staff of life.' " Those who eat bread, however need not be worried, for this same emi nent authority asserts that "bread mad( from the entire wheat Hour may, with all justice, be considered the 'staff' of life' ir consideration of the amount of the nutritious matter it contains. The flour inosl entitled to the title, the "staff of life," and which is absolutely free from the objections about which Dr. Rowbottoni complains, is Champion Mills Flour made by G. L. Riddle, at Zeno, York county, of the ENTIRE WHEAT, anc nothing except wheat. It contains all th< nutriment of the wheat berry, because il consists of the wheat kernel ground whole, nothing being removed but th< outer shell, which nature designed solelj as a protection for the valuable food matter inside. This flour is richest of all in food matter. We have it and guarantee that it wil please. Try it once and you'll use i regularly. GRIST COUSINS. THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA County of York.
