and treasurer of the Planters’ Cotton
Factorage Company, of Augusta, was
] brought over to Aiken from his resi
dence in North Augusta by the sheriff,
I under a warrant issued by Magistrate
i Weeks, charging him with obtaining
! 24 bales of cotton from Mr. Wesley
! 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.

This word of late has been in every

what the word signifies, though no one

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

is the microbe that NEWBRO’S HERBI
CIDE promptly destroys; after which the

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.

went to heaven and found many people
whom she knew, but some of them were

appear like earth, especially the oc

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

notieable to many. At hearing his name
her father smiled and asked, “What

said tfie father, candidly, "I must tell

Jenny Lind, after years of steady

She practiced hours a day. hut was un
able to accomplish the feat. One day,
thoroughly discouraged, she was sit

looked up into a tree. Above her a bird
was trilling. She at once went to hei

CURED BY
THEDFORDS
BLACdDRAUGHT
Because the liver is
neglected jKople suffer
with constipation, biliousness,
headaches and fevers. 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.
