Thought to Have Been Drowned in Augusta Flood. Spartanburg, Sept. 10.?D. S. Whitt. a travelling representative of the Southern Marble & Granite company of this city, has been missin? for over two weeks and it is believed here that he met death in Augusta. Ga., during the flool. R. W. Dodgen. president of the Southern Marble & Granite company, says that the last he heard from Mr. Whitt he was in Aiken. This was on the 22nd o' August. Mr. Whitt was then prepar! ing to leave for Augusta, where, after spending a few days, he intended to go to Edgefield. It is certain that he left 'or Augusta, but nothing can be learned in that city as to when he arrived or where he stopped. Mr. Whitt is a young married man. He has a wife and two children at home in Macon, Ga. Mrs. Whitt is almost distracted over the mysterious disappearance of her husband and her friends and members of the family are making every effort to find out the fate of the missing man. Mr. Whitt lert Spartanburg about eight weeks ago on his first trip for the Southern Marble & Granite company.

Cures All Itching Eruptions. Glencoe, Md., Nov. 21st, 1907: "I have had eczema on my hands for 12 years, and have tried everything. I have been using Tetterine 4 days and the results are great." Signed, Mrs. M. Harvey. Tetterine is the surest, safest, speediest cure for eczema and all other skin diseases. Sold by druggists or sent by mail for 50c. by J. T. Shuptrine; Dept. A, Savannah, Ga. Letter to B. W. Miley, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Sir: Here's honesty for you! North Dakota has a pure paint law. Prof, Ladd, the state chemist analyzes a certain paint labled "contains only lead and zinc and is strictly pure," and finds it no lead at all, a resinous oil, and benzine. It is however, full-measure and contains no water. v. That's like the man on trial for killing his grandmother: proved that he didn't set fire to the house. No lead, but zinc and barytes, resinous oil, and benzine?"strictly pure lead and zinc paint!" Pure paint is lead-zinc-and-oil; but that isn't all; there is such a thin? as proportion and make. The strongest paint is Devoe. , North Dakota is doing a handsome thing in holding these confidence-people up to scorn. She gives their names as well as their works. Yours truly 20 F W DEVOE & CO. P.

Albany, Ga., Sept. 5.?John Towns, the negro who attempted an assault on Mrs. Joe Wheeler at her home, near Damascus, Thursday night, was taken from the guard house at Damascus early this morning by a mob of 10 ) men and lynched. Towns was tracked from the Wheeler home to a cotton field, two miles distant. He was arrested by a posse and lodged in the guard house yesterday morning after his identity had been established. /There was intense feeling in the community, however, and it was evident yesterddy that a lynching could not be prevented by the cooler heads, and a guard was placed around the negro's prison last night, but the early hours brought a mob of men who demanded the prisoner. The deputies, who refused to release him were overpowered, and the doors of the guard house were broken open. Towns was carried down the railroad track just outside of the town and swung up. His body was riddled with bullets. Deputy Sheriff Ed Black, who went to carry the negro to Blakeley for safekeeping, arrived just in time to hear the distant volleys which were fired into Towns's swinging body. Eczema Cured. Nothing could be more annoying or disfiguring than Eczema; and few skin diseases are harder to cure. Tetterine allays the itching and burning; and absolutely destroys the cause by killing the germs that eat into the tender coatings and cause decay. Tetterine is a prompt and effective cure for Tetter, Ground Itch, Eczema, Chaps, Chafes, etc. 50c box at druggists, or by mail, postpaid, from J. T. Shuptrine, Savannah, Ga.
