LEFT HIS FAMILY A DOCTOR AND YOVSG LADY MISSING. He Left for Vtah, According to His Stony, B^t Since Then Nothing Has Keen Heard of Hhn. Several woeks ago it was stated by the Aikc* cprrespchde-iiit, of tb/ij News and Courier that Dr. H. J. Weeks, a prominent young physician of Wagener. had decided to go to the West. He did leave, and "now news from Wagener indicates that he not only left himself, hut de serted his wife and five children, and has since married another woman, a former clerk in a Wagener store. Fcr some timerit has been reported that he had deserted his family, but the report was generally discredited and his friends believed ? that he would soon return to them. But time has passed and he has not yet returned, and further investigation has discovered the fact the he was quite familiar' with Miss ? Sarah Smith, while she was in charge of the millinery department of Mr. J. W. Lybrand's big store in Wag enner last winter. A few weeks previous/to July 30 Dr. Weeks announced that he had decided to move his family to Utah, whero he has a brother-in-law, Dr. J. R. A. Whitlock. formerly of this county. He has been in correspon dence with Dr. Whitlock in reference to that action and had completed all the details, apparently, to carry out his announcement. Subsequent ly he said he would go out there and make his arrangements and re turn for his family in ten days. A short time after he was to have returned home, the flood came and it was thought that he was possibly flood-bound, or perhaps drowned. Soon after the floods an investi gation was started, and a par*.y interested in the- matter wfcnt to Spartanburg and called on thi mother of Miss Smith and asked where the latter' was. Mrs. Smith replied that she had married a W. A. Hambleton, of Charleston. Upon being described to her it appeared that "Mr. Hambleton" was none other than Dr. Weeks. The visitor then showed her a picture of Dr. Weeks and she agreed that it must be the person to whom her daughter was married a short time previous. The marriage, she said, took place, in the Baptist church. Mrs. Smith said she had last heard from the couple in Kansas City. A great deal of indignation has been aroused over the seeming plain desertion and steps have been taken to bring Weeks to justice. It is understood that attorneys have been employed and the case will be pushed against him. It has been stated that a detective has been employed and is now at work trying to capture fcim. Some reports have it "that he is in the West, while others stayte that he has gone to Cuba. Dr. Weeks is a brother-in-law of Drs. J. R. A. and W. A. Whitlock, and is himself prominently con nected. He has always been a resi dent of Aiken county and at the time of his disappearance his aged mother was living with him. He was a poor young man when he be gan the study of medicine. By ap plying hirfelf he soon built up a fairly good practice and he was gen erally well thought of in his section. A few years after his marriage to Miss Emma Whitlock some of bis friends advanced him money and J he went to a medical college. He had an office in Wagener and visited his parents in an automobile. He j was a member of the Aiken County Medical Association and was promi nent among his brother physicians. Hia deserted family is composed of his wife and five children, who are now being cared for by relatives. The affair is greatly deplored and every effort will be made to see that justice Is done. ACCUSKD OF FRAUD. T. C Duncan, of Union, Ls Arrested and Bailed. Thomas C. Duncan, formerly presi dent of the Union-Buffalo and other cotton mills, was arrested at Union late last Saturday afternoon on a warrant charging him with receiving money from the People's Bank of Union under false pretenses and with intent to cheat and defraud. Bond ia>ih?hfium of $1,500 was re quired and furnished. The facts,1 nearly as^ can be ascer tained, -anrthann' Dumber -of 1906. Duncan obtained fr?n* the People's Bank the sum of $1,515 in payment of a check or draft upon a bank in Spring City. Tennessee, where Dun can was . then" doing, business, and there' was no money in the Spring City . Bank to pay the check. It is alleged that the check was drawn by the American Lime Company at the instance of T. C. Duncan, who is supposed to have been the head of that company. It is stated that there are other transactions of a similar nature in volving an amount of about nine thousand dollars. Since the People's Bank went into the hands of re ceivers a few months ago the re ceivers have made several efforts to adjust these matters, but without avail, and the warrant was sworn out by one of them. it is uncy rstc$d that Duncan"s underkakings and investments at Spring City, where he has been oper ating for several years, have turned out badly, and the American Lime Company, which figures in these al leged fraudulent transactions, is thought to be bankrupt. Unless this ease is adjusted it is probable thai similar action will be taken with reference to the other transactions. The average yield per acre, the world over, is only 12.7 bushels of WHISKEY STILL DESTROYED Some Revenue Officers Moke a Very Successful Raid. A dispatch from Aiken to the News and Courier says the: whiskey constables succeeded in making an other excellent haul on Saturday morning early. This is the second .sfiil captured in the lajst few weeks. A short time ago a most acted distillery was broken up oa tjie Sr::th Edi'to River. Now anoth er has been captured, much to the satisfaetioh? ofJ'tTK* !uw-.;!:iJi:i-; citi zens of the section in which it was operated. I The raiding party entered the North Edisto swamp seven or eight miles from Wagener three o'clock Saturday evening. They had been suspecting the operation of a still in that Section for some time. After a search they came upon the site of the still. They saw the light at a distance and was guided by it. They worked their way cautiously through, the swamp in order to not attract any attention, so that the stilling party could be caught. When they came to the place they fqund the slill de serted, but the embers from the flra were yet alive. There was no mash or liquor anywhere around the site and it was taken for granted that they had just left, carrying with them the resr.lt .of their night's labor. Bar rels and other fixtures were smash ed to pieces with axes, and the still was placed upon buggies and carried into Wagener, wnere if was broken ?to pieces and destroyed publicly. The operators of the still are un known. While this still is perhaps not as notorious as the one captured a lew weeks ago, it has been a source of annoyance, and a nuisance to the people of that section for some time, and the officers are receiving t.tio thanks' of everyone upon their suc cessful raid. Mr. Musco Samuels, county dispensary constable, was as sisted in this capture by Messrs. V. B. McGaha, D. W. Wallace, J. C. McCreary'and H. B. Hendrix, special employees of the United State Gov ernment. STOCK FOODS NO GOOD. How to Make a Good Cheap One ?: at Home. Bulletin 105, of the South Da ,kota Experiment Station, gives ac count of two experiments conducted in the summers of 1906 and 1907 to determine the amount of gain, if any. either in early maturity, mar ketable condition or cost of feeding, which might be expected from feed ing the commercial stock foods to hogs. Five of the best known j brands we^-e secured and submitted to chemical analysis and the. results compared with bran. None of them were found to be equal to Wan hi the proportion of crude protein, fK most expensive and indespensable in gredient of the feeds. Two of the feeds had a slightly larger quantity of nitrogen free ex tract and none of them excelled bran in the proportion of oils and fats. The stock foods averaged $220.00 per ton as against the pres ent high price of bran $20.00 giv ing bran 10 to 12 times the advan tage. These foods being often called ' medicines it was (found necessary to ascertain their value as drugs. The rule in making them seems to be use small proportions of active drugs as gentian, fennigrek, sulphur, ginger, pepper, salt, largely diluted with inert substances such as mill refuse, ground pine bark, linseed meal. All of the drugs mentioned are not combined in any one feed but the more important ones are used, the valuations being in condiments and flavors. Of the drugs mentioned gentian is the best, and charcoal may be useful to correct acidity. The ? quantity recommended is so small that the medicinal value is! practically nothing. J One set of pigs fed on grain alone were found to have made 100 pounds of gain, somewhat cheaper than those fed grain with the addi tion of any of. the stock foods. A home made stock food suggested by Veterinarian E. L. Moore and J. H. Shepard, chemist, was fed and com pared with the commercial article, and grain feed alone and it was found that though this stock fooa Is good and cheap, even in this case gains were made more cheaply with grain alone. The stock food recom mended was made as follows: Gen tain, 2 pounds, cost 50 cents; ginger, 1 pound, cost 40 cents; cpdium De carbonate, 1 pound, cost 10.vcents: fonnigreek, 1-2 pound, cost 10 cents.' A SURPRISED MINISTER, "For many years I have been a sufferer from bronchial catarrh,- and had despaired of anything like ? a' cure. Judge of ray pleasant sur prise when I first used Hyomei. which brought complete relief. Hyo mei has been a veritable godsend." ?Rev. Charles Hartley, Sardinia. Ohio. Thousands of catarrh suffer ?rs have given up in despair. They have tried stomach dosing, snuff, sprays and douches without success, ami now believe catarrh to be incurable. But J. G. Wannamake- Mfg. Co., the druggists, holds out hope to all distressed, He sells a remedy called Hyomei which is guaranteed for j catarrh, colds, coughs, bronchitis, I asthma arid croup. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-nx-) is medicated air. full of the healthy virtues of^the mountain pines. You breathe i" the delightful antiseptic air, and as it passes over the in flamed and germ ridden membrane, it allays the inflammation, kills the germs, and drives out the disease. The complete Hyomei outfit, in cluding a hard rubber inhaler, costs but $1.00. and an extra bottle of Hyomei, if afterwards needed, costs but 50 cents. See J. G. Wannamaker Mfg.
