John Bell Towill, of Batesburg, a former director cf the South Carolina dispensary, v. ho lias been under $11,000 bond since 1007 upon a charge of conspiracy to defraud the State, appeared in the Richland sessions court with his counsel, Messrs. E. L. Asbill, of Saluda, R. H. Welch and P. H. Nelson, of Columbia, and Get^ge Johnstone, of Newberry and demanded a trial. Judge Aid rich on receiving mruiigii jsojinior loot) a message front Attorney General further and report at the current term whether the State will be any more ready at the next term. One of the counsel for the defense said the contention of his client was that he was arrested in 15)07 and indicted in 1909, hut had never received a trial, although no request for continuance has been ; made by the defense and at each term the State has secured a eon-; unuance. Towill was indicted along with several other former dispensary officials, the specific transaction on j which this action is based being the1 purchase of a large quantity of liquor labels.

The Stute. Tuesday morning about !? o'clock, a well-dressed, middle-aged woman, prominently connected in South Carolina, entered the jewelry store of P. H. Lachicotte & Co., and after sue k ft it v/ns found that a $Ut>5 diamond ring was missing. Detectives were immediately put on the traii and the property was recovered. The case was a rather peculiar one "1 he woiiumi came in the store and asked about having initials engraved on a locket. She then askeJ to L<e shown some diamond rings, sayjthat she had promised her daug't^r one. After the woman left t was discovered that a hand-i some stone was missing and the police uepartment was notified, detectives being detailed to follow her. In the meantime she had hid the, rln? lw.1.1..^ **?- 1 " . .ufj ? mini (.in- puipu in a local church. She was arrested on Main street, in one of the busiest centres, but was not required to ride down in. che patrol, being told quietly, she. went to the police station with hardly any one knowing of the arrest. When first questioned the woman denied her guilt, but finally confessed, and led the detectives to the church, getting the ring from behind the pulpit. Mr. l,achicotte will not prosecute the case. She has two little girls who he felt sorry for, and for that reason dropped the charge, after being returned the stolen goods. She left the city last evening. The woman is prominently connected In South Carolina and her husband holds a responsible position. Woman Has Thrilling K\|>erience. Mullins Knterprlse. One of the most daring attempts at robbery that ever occurred in Mullins, was enacted at the depot last Saturday evening just as the 6:30 train pulled out for Columbia, and Mrs. J. I. Ham proved herself to be a woman of almost iron nerve, and a true heroine Ira the occasion. It is customary, just after the train passes, for the agent to be around the express office attend. lug to his duties, which usual! takes ten to twelve minutes. Du; this time, Mrs. Ham, who is i charge of the ticket office, is alor in the office. After the rush fc tickets, she sat down quietly in a easy choir just back of the door, J the keyboard of the Western Uinioi paying little attention to the mov< meats of the throng around the d< pot that congregate at train tim She heard some one enter the o fice and go direct to the car drawer, and working the com bin; tion, proceeded to take a handful < money from the boxes. At the fin sound, she arose and walked fro; behind the door, when a Strang* met her gaze. He seemed perfect! cool and collected. He started t< ward the door, but returned to tli drawer and reached it just aboi the time Mrs. Ham got there. II i*uucu iiiv urawer open again an told Mrs. Haui he wanted cliang for $2; that it was perfectly a right with, the agent, and that h had authority to get the money. H cool manner attracted the attentio of Mrs. Ham a d for a moment ah stood dazed by the deliberate raai ner of the intruder. Finally sli shoved the drawer shut and tol the fellow that she did not hav any change for him. He had handful of silver and started uwaj but returning pulled the drawe and threw the money back. Mr: Ham screamed and told him that si had no money lor him. In pushin tlie drawer shut, her hand wn caught, and an ugly bruise wa made on iier forefinger. They wer standing side by side by the draw er, and evidently fearing that some one might walk in, the seoutidrc quietly walked out, again assurin Mrs. Ham that he was acting i: good faith. Just after he left th room, Mr. Davis, the clerk op^;atoi entered, and finding the little wt man very pale and nervoU8 aske her what was the matt?\,r. ghe tol him and the alarm vVas given. Notwithstanding tiie fact that th policemen wo-iC just on the outsid< t.ie crowd was so large that th thief lur", uo difficulty in making h escape The officers did everj thing possible to find a clue, bu 1 d. As no one saw the bol 'V.ed or noticed the man who at tempted it, he was enabled the mor readily to get away. Mrs. Hat descrilnd the intruder as a man c about thirty years,, light complect ed and a little sandy mustaclu dark clothes and about five fee I seven inches tall. Notwithstanding the fact th man had the money in his banc none was missing from the drawe when the change was counted. Wli he decided to put it back, is a mys trry that may never bo solved. It will likely be a long time be tore Mrs. Ham will forget her c.n perience, or even think of attempt ing to change a two dollar bill fo another stranger. When Vuu Turn On the Electricity The natural inference is that w immediately get a flood of lighl when ve turn the electric switch While tills is true enough in i sense, many things really happe before wt get the light. And th light is not instantaneous at all even if it does look so. The first thing accomplished i; turning the switch is to close th circuit so that the electric curren eaji flow readily through the wiret The electrical energy rushes alonj the surface of the insulated coppe wires at the terriffic speed of ISO, 000 miles a second. If these wire are not properly insulated the elec tricity would tend to leak off th wire to some other good conducto at the first opportunity, as it i ever seeking the shortest pat through the circuit. When thi energy, rushing at a terriffic poc reaches the electric lamp it passe readily enough through the suia iron and platinum wires into th bulb wliere it meets with its firs resistance. In its paths stand tin loops of a fine metallic wire wliic is not a good conductor of electrit 1 ity. With all the pressure behin it the electrical energy tries to sui mount this obstacle in its path. 1 pushes and forces way through th obstruction and this requires a tr? mendous amount of work, just th same as it would require a tremem ous amount of work for a man t rumi) the face of a cliff. This wor consumes the electrical energy, jui as it would consume mechanical et ergy, or human energy, and the ei ergy thus consumed or desroyetdfor nature never totally destroj anything but changes it into heat. As the current forces its wa through the fine wire the electric; energy is rapidly changed into he* and this heat quickly brings th wire to a white glow, when by strange coincidence, it is a fair] good conductor. While the ligl seems instance us it is only becaus it is too quick for the eye. In r< ality the wire first gets warm, the hot, then a dull cherry red and fir ally this red fades, as It gets ter to a white hot glow which 1 ly maintained us long as the current I r- Lh turned on. The heat reaultant1 in from this process is rapidly dtssl-! ^ >e pated into the air. >r ' , n OI>I> .MKSSAOK OX MOXKY. it tt?; Hanker Toils of Whimsical luscrip- | ir ticm on Hills He Has Soon. ft 1 New York Sun. j L"1 f !

C.. August 18 In September, 1899. I took Rheumatism in a very bad form (Inflammatory). In a month after the disease started I had to five up my work and go to bed. It continued to grow worse until my arms and hands were badly drawn, so much sothat I could not use them. My legs were drawn back until my feet touched my hips I was as helpless as o baby for nearly twelve months. * I The muscles of my arms and legs were hard and shrivelled up I suffered death many times over. Was treated by six different physicians in McColl. Dillon | and Marion, but none of them could do roe any good, until Or J P. Ewing. of Dillon, came to see me. He told me to try your RHEUMACIDE. He got me one bottle of the medicine and I began totake it. and before the tirst bottle was used up I began togrt better. I used five and a half bottles and wascompletely cured. That was two years ago and my health has been excellent ever since. Have had no symptoms of rheumatism. I regard RHEUMACIDE as by far the best remedy for Rheumatism on i he market I ? ?- - it. I hnve recommended it to others since and it has cured them. Will say further, that I began to walk in A about six days after I began to take RHEUMACIDE, with the aid of crutches; in about three months after I | began to take it I could walk as good as anybody, and . went back to work again. s JAMES WILKES ( Dr. Ewing Confirms the Statement Daum.
