Johnson by false pretenses Magis trate Weeks appointed Tuesday t he 25th for the preliminary examination, and in the meantime released Mr. Tobin under a bail bond for $800; his bonds men being Mr. J. R. League, Walter N. Jackson, and C. N. Oliver, all of North Augusta. This is one of the many cases in which Mr. Tobin is charged with having ap- priated cotton shipped to his house. There are eight or ten farmers in Aiken county, who, relying upon his represen tations of the financial strength of his firm, and the responsibility of the stock holders, shipped him their cotton to be held for higher prices ; and lately when prices did advance, and they ordered it sold, it had been already sold, and the proceeds misappropriated. Altogether there were about 125 or 130 bales of cotton lost by their owners in this way ; and some of the losses have fallen on men illy able to bear them. We learned of one or two far mers who had shipped him their crops, and lost every bale. The result of their entire year’s work had been lost. So naturally the feeling of indignation is very strong in Aiken. HetTy Rain—Shocked by Electricity. On last Thursday afternoon the heav iest rain fell in Aiken that has fallen for several years. Laurens street from Richland to Park avenue was a lake, as the water accumulated faster than the sewers could carry it off. The floors and cellars of several of the stores on the east side of the street were Hooded, but fortunately the water came at an hour when the goods could be protec ted. Had it come during the night con siderable damage must have resulted. At the beginning of the rainfall, be fore it became heavy, Alfred Wade, a colored bricklayer at work on Mr. Wheeler’s house, was standing in the yard by the hydrant, and as he was resting his hand on it a thin streak of electricity was seen to run up the hy drant from the ground Wade fell to the ground insensible. He was taken up, and a physician sent for at once, who administered the usual treatment for electric shock, and the man was taken to his home, where he has since recoved.* Great Heat at the North All area of oppresive heat that brings to mind with unpleasant vividness the record breaking summer of 1901, has settled down over the eas'ern and New England States, already numbers hun- breds among its victims and causing indescribable suffering for thousands in New York and other cities. • From all points come the story of the hottest day of the summer, attended with frequent p rostrations and not a few deaths. In New York on Tuesday alone there were 180 prostrations, and 23 deaths from heat. kM IT 21 "A -AUGUSTA. P Brooks Strict Low Middling 10 3 4 Middling H 1 * Good middling AIKEN.

THE PEOPLE ALL fn ChornM Cried, Give U» Newbro’a Herpiclde. This word of late has been in every one’s mouth, and many are wondering what the word signifies, though no one has yet been found, who will deny that NKWBRO’S HERBICIDE does the worn. Well, for the Information of thousands of people who like to know all about a good thing, we would say that HERBICIDE means, a destroyer or killer of “Herpes,” IVow “Herpes” is the family name of a disease caused by various vegetable par asites. A similar microbe causes dan druff. itching scalp, and falling hair; this is the microbe that NEWBRO’S HERBI CIDE promptly destroys; after which the hair grows. Sold by leading druggists.

It is claimed that pasture land that is run down will be improved if a crop corn is grown upon the field, but the beneficial effects from the corn are no doubt more apparent than real. All poor soils that are allowed to remain uncultivated until some kind of volun- teer crop (if only weeds) takes posses sion wilt gain in fertility to a certain extent. Such a system is known as ‘ fallowing,” or resting the soil. Grow ing a crop of corn simply induces cul tivation and puts the soil in better con dition, although the land will have al ready been improved by fallowing. Schedule of Mails.

A HAPPY HOME Mrs. Travers Divorced. Mrs. William Riggin Travers, who was Lillie Harriman before her mar riage, has been divorced from her hus band. The New York Sun says: “Mr. Travers, who is 44 years old, is a Co lumbia graduate and a member of the Knickerbocker and Racquet clubs in New York, the Coaching and Four-in- Iland clubs, and the Newport Golf club. He has no business except the '•are of his family property. The Trav ers’ city house is 2 East Thirteenth street, but much of their time has been spent at their summer home in New port and their winter home at Aiken, S. C.” A True\o Life Dream A lady who grew up to womanhood many years ago at Newberry, S. C., tells of a strange dream she had when only i complete Also one 60-saw Hall gin. nine years of age. It occurred to her she went to heaven and found many people whom she knew, but some of them were not yet dead, and although it was real ly heaven she saw much that made it appear like earth, especially the oc cupations of the acquaintances she met there. On relating the dream to her father he seemed much surprised that such thoughts should get into the mind of aehildof her age. Among the person ages mentioned as having been seen was a very popular lawyer of the town.whose fondness for sitting on a chair, wh-ther on the street or in his office, was quite notieable to many. At hearing his name her father smiled and asked, “What was Chris doing?” “Oh,” said she wonderiugly, “He wasn’t doing any thing but sitting in a chair.” “Well.” said tfie father, candidly, "I must tell Chris when I see him that he was cer tainly enjoying his earthly avocation.” Union county will soon voteon the question of “dispensary” or “no dis p -n-ary.” the supervisor acting on a petition just presented to i im, having ordered an election for this j urpose t > beheld on Tuesday.

Colds attack 1 the lungs and contagious di ca os take hold of the svstem. It is safe to say that if the liver were always kept in proner working order, illness would oe almost unknown. Thedford’s fllack-Draught is so successful in curing such sickness because it is without a rival as a liver regulator. This great family medicine is not a strong and drastic drug, but a mild and healthful laxative that cures con stipation and may be taken by a mere child without possible harm. The healthful action on the liver cures biliousness. It has an in vigorating effect on the kidneys. Because the liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with the waste from the bowels get back into the Wood and virulent contagion results. Timely treatment with Thed ford’s Black-Draught removes the dangers which lurk in constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and will positively forestall the inroads of Bright’s disease, for which dis ease in advanced stages there is no cure. Ask your dealer for a 25c. package of Thedford’s Black- Draught. i rt
