Claiming to be a professor in music and giving his name as H. S. Morris he came to Cheraw to accept a position with the Crawford Jewelry Co in their musical department. He certainly made an impression when he sat down to a piano. It seems thai he had made an impression in Ham. let also. He secured board at the Ranard Hotel and soon after arrival announced that he would soon bring his bride to the city, so no surprise was manifested when he returned Saturday night, bringing with him a lady that he introduced as his bride It is said that the professor wenl over to Hamlet and there married a Miss Edna Miles. Needless, probably, to say that the marriage was a kind of runaway affair. A very short time after some action on the part of the professor aroused the suspicion of the hotel folks and when the professor with his bride went down to the depot the police was appealed to and the professor was arrested. Then came the expose. He made a settlement with the hotel folks by leaving with them a ring tc settle the board bill, but his actions aroused the suspicions of his bride and she demanded to know where she was being taken, and on being told that he didn't know: where he was going, she told him she was going back to her father. This took place at the depot. The bride then returned to the hotel; the train come in in the meantime and the professor left for parts unknown. Later the lady in the case returned to her home at Hamlet. Efforts are being made to locate the professor by several in Cheraw who became acquainted financially with him during his short sojourn here. Although registering as H. S. Morris, Savannah, Ga., it is said his correct name and address is W. E. MorHn r!r?himhifl_ S. C. H Death of Miss Lacy Bandy. Miss Lucy Bundy, daughter of Mr. J. J. Bundy of our city, died very suddenly last night. Miss Lucy was on her way to prayer meeting, which was to be held at the home of Mr. J. W. Wallace, who lives about five miles from the city, and when near Mr. Henry Ginn's place complained of feeling bad. A stop was made at Mr. Ginn's and a doctor was sent for but death ensued just after the arrival of the doctor. - The body was removed to her home. The funeral services and the burial will be at Hebron, Marlboro county, the former home of Mr. Bundy, this afternoon. The stricken family have the heartfelt sympathyjof^^the^ntJjg community. Death of John H. Wells. John H. Wells died suddenly at hk home on Third street at about eign. o'clock Monday morning of heart fan. ure, aged 32 years.

K Bright, happy and cheerful, John ^ Wells carried sunshine with him wherever he went. He had always is a smile and a pleasant word for every d one, and if ever there was a man wno was born, reared and lived bis wnoie life in a community who bad no enemy 1, that man was John Wells, and his d deaCa comes as a dark shadow to his friends and his relatives who loved him so dearly. 5. He had not been feeling so well iS for several days, but on Sunday he motored with bis family to Cameron, N. C., to spend the day with bis friend, Prof. B. C . Mclver, superintendent r> of the Cheraw schools. On the way back he had automobile trouble and overexerted himself. On reaching is home he called a physician and soon y felt better.

In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declining, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritability and unless corrected, leads straight to a breakdown. I To correct nervousness, Scott's Emulsion is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to its refreshing tonic force. It is free from alcohol. Scott & Bowtie, Bloorafield, N. J.
