That is why pure Syrup Pepsin is so good for women. It just suits their delicate organism. It is the prescription of an old family doctor who has treated thousands of women patients, and who made a special study of bowel troubles. It is fine for children, too. They love its taste. Let them have it every time their tongues are coated or their skin is sallow. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless ingredients. When you've n sick headache, ..can't. caL,--arc. bilious-<*r and at the. times when you are most apt to be constipated, take a little of tnrs famous prescription (all drug tores keep it ready in big bottles), . and ypu'll know wny Dr. Qildwell's Syrup Pepsin is the favorite laxaUve of over a million women I Da.

How Trouble Started. "It all began because Sheriff Brady and his gang, the Murphy faction, killed an English cattleman, J. U. Tunstall. There was a faction that didn't want nny other cattlemen In tho country. They tried to sew the whole country up for themselves and would try to,run out newcomers. "The Englishman bought a ranch and started up a sort of supply store In competition. His murder Ret things off. It made Billy the Kid go H;tld because Tunstnll was the best friend , he had. Before hp was done man: killing, the Kld had got all of twentyone men. "The really bad part of the war lasted six or eight modths?it began February 18. 1878?^and when the whole war was over there were seventy-two men dead. About even on both sides, I should say. The soldiers interfered and most of us got out of the country. We had been fightln' fair and square, hut when the soldiers came in we knew we 'couldn't fight the United -States. President Hayes sent a committee down to Investigate after the Englishman's family had raised a row, and they found we had been In the right." The affection that still existed for Billy the Kid, who died with his boots on at the Age of twenty-one, was apparent as George Coe talked of his pal. Prllses Kid's Principles. "He was a great boy with plenty ofjprlnclple with his friends but pretty bad with his enemies. I was his pal for eighteen months. He was the most agreeable man I ever was with. Outi side his man-kllllng he was fine. He i didn't use half the bud language the rest of us did. "We felt as If we had about the same bringing up, and that made us kind of chummy.

Paroled Man Kills Himself After attempting suicide twice last fall supposedly for the purpose of creating sympathy for his release . from the state penitentiary, R. J, ("Willie") Watson of Blaney shot and * killed himself in a Jacksonville, Fla., hotel last week. Reports of Watson's death reached Columbia yesterday only about three months after Governor Blackwood extended clemency to the 22-year?old ex-soldier and saw him off to Charleston in high spirits to join his bride and occupy a job there. Two brothers of young Watson left their home at Blaney upon receiving news of Watson's death. I They had him buried ^t Jacksonville, and returned home yesterday. Watson's aged father declared at' Blaney that his son. had taken his own life Thursday night, seemingly in a fit of despondency. The father said he did not know the boy had J left Charleston until he received news of his death at Jacksonville. Efforts to locate the young wife, whom Watson married while on a leave of absence from the penitentiary last July, proved fruitless at Charleston, it was learned. The suicide terminated one of the most dramatic episodes in recent criminal history in South Carolina. Watson literally threatened td poison himself if his 20-year sentence for manslaughter was not terminated. Twice when leaves of absence drew near an end, Watson was brought writhing into the Baptist hospital. Doctors pumped what they believed to be poison from his abdomen in time to save his life. Governor Blackwood was asked to commute his sentence in September after the second attempt at suicide, y Dr. Fred C. Williams, directed by the governor to examine Watson's sanity at this time, reported that the young man was sane and probably had feigned poisoning to arouse sympathy for his cause. Then it was disclosed that Watson had married a young woman on his first leave of absence during the summer while at the home of his father at Blaney. The young man declared that he preferred "facing a firing squad" to re-entering the state prison. He declared that he had expected to receive a two-year sentence and got ... 20 years. -Anally Senator J. C. Long and the late Sam Rittenberg, representative from Charleston, interceded with the governor for Watson. Senator Long said he would see that the young man got a job, and the governor ordered him liberated. T. > < Watson at the time had served nearly three years for shooting Earle R. Fetter, a fellow-soldier, in a drinking bout 6n Christmas dVe at tfoe Isle of Palms, near Charleston. Why his effort to settle down in Charleston after his release ended in failure and death remained for the most part shrouded in mystery last night.? Sunday's Columbia Record.

Prince, chief of the division of markets of the Extension Service, who states that eight carloads were shipped last week from 14 counties, and eight additional shipments will be made this week "fromr 18 counties. - These cooperative poultry shipments, which are being paid for by the buyer at the car door, are sold on the basis of the New York market, the largest consumer of live poultry. County farm and home agents have active chnrge of the loadings. Discussing the value of this service to farm flock owners, Mr. Prince points out that in 1929, 150 cars moved from this state netting growers $050,000. In 1930 and 1931 prices obtained on local markets were so near the New York prices that'fewer I out-of-state shipment* were ?necea-j sary to care for the surplus and stabili/.o the market. 4 This tendency to stabilize the market within the state is illustrated,1 Mr. Prince -says,, in recent turkey shipments. In December turkeys, were selling as low as 12 cents per pound in outlying sections, but shipments to out-of-stat^ markets helped per pound, so that it is safe to assume that this marketing work boost-, ed the local, prices of turkeys by an average, of five cents per pounds and, kept the local markets from great ... 4 variations. _ _ .
