New York, FVb. 14.?James Purcell,
the veteran gambler, who testified
before the aldermanic committee

last week that he has paia police
graft ov-er a period of 17 years, quarreled
early today with his wife in
their apartment and began shooting.
Mrs. Purcell fainted, but wild bullets
struck their 13-year-old daughter,
Agnes, who lay'cowering in bed and
killed her almost instantly. Thinking

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.

Early last night they quarreled. They
were still at it at dawn; then came

CAMPOBELLO MILL BURSED.
Cotton Seed Oil Mill Wiped Ont by
Early Morning Fire?Loss Estl
ai fitfjvvv.
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.

nicrcbes in Your Sci!p
Authorities say that a microbe
causes baldness. If you are losing
hair try our remedy at our risk.
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. It has been designed
after long study to overcomo
the cause of falling hair as discovered
by Prof. Unna, Dr. Sabouraud and
other scalp and hair specialists, and
we believe it will do more than anything
else can to remove dandruff and
stop falling hair; and if any human
agency can promote a new growth
of hair it will do that, too.
We want you to maice us prove it.
We will pay for a month's treatment
of Rexall "93" Hair Tonic u^ed during
a trial, if you will use it according
to directions, and are not
thoroughly satisfied. When we will
do this, you surely should not hesitate
to at least try it.
Start the treatment today. Your
mere request will get yoyr money
back if you want it. Two sizes: oOc
and $1.00.
You can buy Rexall "93" Hair Tonio
