Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Props and Soothing Syrups. It is . pleasant. It contains
neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
been in constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency,
Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverishness arising
therefrom, and by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids
the assimilation of Food ; giving healthy and natural sleep.

"niversity as the Servant, of the
'.'Hi moil Schools." Mr. McSwain
stressed the need of co-operation hc
ween the University and the common
?chools of the State, pointing out
lmt one of the primary aims of the
University is to teach and to supply
he world with teacher*! and to give
j's students a broad and liberal edu
cation that will prepare them for
heir several vocations and profes
sions. Mr. McSwain paid high trib
ute to the efficiency of the School
of Education at the University ami
suggested that the school could be
greatly helped if funds could be pro
vided for a separate building, in
creased teaching force, a rural school
supervisor, and additional scholar
ships, and showed that the efficiency
of this department has already been
demonstrated in many instances? In
Closing his eloquent and powerful ad
dress Mr. McSwain paid a < glowing
tribute to the University men who
diet! in the service. He said in part,
"We owe an obligation to those boys
who in the World War gave their
lives that the freedom bought by
their fathers' blood and that the civ
ilization wrought out through the
centuries might be preserved, and we
can discharge that obligation not
merely by placing tablets and erecting
monuments and memorial buildings,
but by dedicating our lives to the
cause of humanity for which they
laid down their lives."
Following the exercises in the
chapel the faculty, students and en
tire audience proceeded in line of
march across the campus to the Li
brary where the handsome bronze
tablet had been placed ready to be
unveiied in memory of the departed
heroes of the University. The folds
of Old Glory hung over and veiled
it. Dr. Melton, the President of the
University, read the names of the
dead which were embossed on the tab
lets, and concluding, said "May the
names of these heroes be ever on our
lips and their memories ever in our
hearts." The tablet was then un
veiled by Miss Lorraine Hendry and
Miss Frances Wannamaker.

appearing on the tablet are the fol

WOMAN ARRESTED
At Greenville Charged With
Killing Husband at Wagner.
Aiken, Jen. iO ? The arrest in
Greenville Saturday n ght of Mrs.
Delia Kate Williamson for the mur
der of her husband in November,
1021, at the town of Wagener, Aiken
County, has caused no great surprise
to Aiken. Public opinion has been
divided regarding the death of her
husband, Robert L, Williamson, evei
sirire the moi ning his body was found
dead in the yard of the Williamson'
homo, ?
Mr. Williamson Was a retired far
mer and merchant of the Wagoner
section and hail been In poor lieu It h
u>me t i *nv previous to tyis death. On
;he morning of November Uli, li'Ul.
according to the testimony of Mrs.
Williamson at the coroner's inquest.
Williamson did not arise as was his
custon to light the fire and Mrs. Wil
liamson started to do so herself. As
she passed Williamson's room she no
ticed the bed unoccupied and upon
closer inspection found blood oil the
bedstead and on the floor of the room
leading out to the kitchen. She has
tily dressed herself and ran aortas
the- street to the home of F.* A.
Foutz, a neighbor, and awakening him
told him Mr. Williamson Was missing
from his room, blood stains were on
the floor and bed and that she feared
he had killed himself, begging Mr,
Foutz to hasten for Dr. M. M. Webb,
the local physician. She stated at
the inquest that she had heard groans,
On her way out of the yard that
sounded like a hog groaning.
Lucile Watson, the negro cook of
the Williamsons', told Chief of Police
Mike Knotts, of ? Wagener, that she
heard the Williamsons quarreling
over a section of meat to be delivered
to Mr. Foutz on. the night before Wil
liamson's death. But Mrs. William
son swore her husband stood before
the fireplace that night and handed
her all of his money, saying "yo"
' may need this." A note wafe also
found on the bureau of a room which
had been written in Williamson's
hand, reading "I am going to leave
you ? I am going where papa is."
Williamson's throat was cut com
pletely through the Adam's apple,
severing the wind pipe. Dr. Webb
stated it was his opinion a man with
such a wound could not live but ten
or fifteen minutes. Bloodstains were
found all about the yard and on a
wagon to which the dying man had
crawled before ^dying near the steps
of the kitchen.
The relatives of the dead man have
openly hinted at fopl play and have !
repeatedly written to Governor Harvy
about the matter. For some time
it has been known detectives in the
State's employ have been tracing up
the facts in the case, and when Mrs.
Williamson, whose \\?agener home
was recently burned, went to Green
ville, she was tracked there by the !
sleuths. Mrs. Williamson has two j
song, O'Neal Williamson, now a stu
dent at Furman University, and Car- j
thell Williamson, a boy six years old. |
