Four shots were fired, two of which struck the girl. One pierced her breast and right arm; another plowed through her left arm. The tragedy may have an import ant bearir.g on the graft investigation now being pushed by District Attorney Whitman. PurcelFs testimony given last Friday, resulted in the suspension of two police captains and his story was being counted on as the basis of indictments. With him in a cell charged with homicide, his testi mony may be invalidated. "Jimmie" Purcell was at one time a partner in gangling of Herman Rosenthal, for whose murder ex-j Police Lieut.

Spartanburg, Feb. 14.?The Campobeilo Oil Mill at Campobello was completely wiped out by fire early yesterday morning, all of the machinery, oil and cotton meal cake in th-e brick building being totally destroyed. The loss is estimated between $15,000 and j $20,000. The loss is partially covered! by insurance. The fire started about 2.30 in the' morning and burned furiously ior several hours. When the down passenger train from Asheville passed Campobello yesterday morning at 9.45 o'clock the flames were roaring like a furnace and the heat from the burning building could be felt by the passengers on the train when they raised the car windows. As the day spent itself the fire subsided and by C o'clock in the afternoon nothing; romainpfl hut a mass of smolderine! ruins and cracked and warped walls. The cause of the fire is not positively known, though it is believed to; have been caused by spontaneous! combustion in one of the machines or seed crushers inside the brick building. The floor being saturated with oil from the cotton seed the flames spread rapidly and made great headway before being discovered. The night watchman 011 duty aroused the sleeping inhabitants as soon as possible and many people gathered at the mill, but. were unable to extinguish the fire. The seed house and the ginnery, I both of which are separated from the i mill were not damaged in the least I I by the tiro. mat neither of these ] buildings caught fire is probably duel to the fact that the wind was not j blowing and the roofs of the building being covered with sleet and snow. Had the wind been blowing the probabilities are that one or both of the buildings would have caught fire as both are frame structures. A Marriage. On the afternoon of February 12 at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Wade H. Setzler. Miss Ethel Setzler was happily wedded to Mr. J. R. Renwick, a prosperous young: business .man of Blairs, Rev. J. A. Linn performing the ceremony. Quite a crowd of the intimate friends of the family was present to witness the cerem.jnv and a sumptuous dinner was served. (}'. ! ;sj*' Here's how a former Newberry boy , is rising away from home. The Betn- j uih- correspondent of the McBee1 Courier describes a board of trade! j { banquet at the 1'orinal opening of an j hotel, mentioning among the toasts rpsnondftri to. "To our Friends," by I Prof. J. A. Dennis. The same paper mentions him and a few others at a supper given by a minister and his wife, the name of a young lady (same as below being among the very few names recorded. The correspondent also includes the following personal: "Miss Maggie B. Turner and Mr. J. A. j Dennis attended the Clyde-McBee d - i j bate at Clyde, Wednesday night of last I week."?So while The Herald ana i I News is glad to note his prominence it 1 would be well to say, "Watch Gus." | It is not often that the Newberry papers overlook a notice of a citizen j pf that town that appears in any other paper. We have been struck with the watchfiulness of the Newberry editors. An omission makes it noticeable. Recently a pretty full notice of a prominent citizen of that good town came out in one of our papers and ran the gauntlet without being caught? any part of it?by them.?A. R. Pres- j byterian, Thank you, sir. As to tne second part. The Herald and News misses an occasional number of the Presbyterian, or it fails to fall into the hands of the right mail.

Professor T'nna, of Germany, and Dr. teabouraud, the great French Dermatologist, claim that a microbe causes baldness, and their theory has been verified by eminent scientists. This microbe destroys the hair follicles, in time causing the scalp pores to close and the scalp to hecome shinv. Then, it is believed eothing mil revive the growth. If treated before this occurs, baldness may be overcome. We know of nothing that has given such universal satisfaction in treating the sralp and hair as Rexall "93" Hair Tonic.
