UNUSUAL CASK IX AIKEX.
St. H. DeForest, a Frenchman, Convicted
of Assault and Battery.
Aiken, Feb. 4.^-St. H. DeForest, a
Frenchman, charged with assault and
battery with intent to kill, was found
guilty yesterday. DeForest is a former
resident of Langley, and an employe
in the mill there. It was
charged that some time ago he made
an assault upon Robert Turner, another
white man, with a knife, cutting
him. DeForest contended that
he was defending the honor of Miss
Laura Knowles, to whom he alleged
that he was engaged to. be married.
DeForest sought to show that Turner
had made an insulting remark
concerning Miss Knowles. He sent
Turner a note demanding that he
meet him and settle the matter. Turner
could not read and did not answer
the note. When Turner was
passing a certain point in Langley, ft
is alleged, uerorest maae me assault
upon him.
Turner contended that he, too, was
engaged to Miss Knowles and that he
made no remark other than the truth.
After being out not longer than three
minutes the jury returned a verdict
of guilty and the court passed a sentence
of 12 months at hard labor or a
fine of $100 upon the defendant.
Miss Knowles has entered a suit
against Turner for slander in making
the alleged assertion against her
character.
Soldier Balks Death Plot.
It seemd to J. A. Stone, civil war
veteran, of Kemp, Tex., that a plot
existed between a desperate lung
trouble and the grave to cause his
death. "I contracted a stubborn
* cold," he writes "that developed a
cough that stuck to me, in spite of
remedies, for years. My weight ran
down to 130 pounds. Then I began
to use Dr. King's New Discovery,
which restored my health completely.
I now weigh 178 pounds." For severe
colds, obstinate coughs, hemorrhages,
asthma, andto prevent
pneumonia it's unrivaled. 50c. and

JOHN D. AT BEECH ISLAND.
??
Riichest Man' on Earth Talks to
South Carolina Farmers* Club.
Augusta, Feb. 6.?John D. Rockefeller
was the honor guest at a barbe
cue dinner given by the Beech Island
farmers to-day. He made a short
speeech, in which he said that he
was no farmer, but his people as far
hack as he could remember, were
farmers. He said thajt the farmers
during his forefathers''time were not
> farmers like the farmers of to-day;
that they went after the business in
a haphazard kind of way.
Mr. Rockefeller complimented the
roads of this country, and said:
"I believe the thing the farfSers
most need is good roads. It will save
them much. You will save in hauling
and also in the length of the life of
your stock."
In conclusion, Mr. Rockefeller
said:
"But, after we get through with
farming, or railroading, or whatever
our task in life may be, we will be
asked the pertinent question, it will
come to us, after we have finished
our work, and have handed it down
to our children, what was the fruit
of our work?what was the real
t fruitage?"

Remarkable Feat of a San FranHsco
Bovine.
Jersey, the. pet bull which was
driven by former Grand Trustee
Thomas Monohan in the Monterey
Native Sons' parade, and which was
the hit of "the day, is the hero apparently
of one of the most remarkable
bovine exploits on record, says the
Philadelphia North American.
Jersey's owner, Timothy Sullivan,
appeared at the sheriff's office a
couple of days ago and announced
that Jersey had been stolen. A close
search was made throughout the
country by the officers without getting
a trace of the animal.
Sullivan happened to ascend the
single ladder leading to the loft of
his barn to-day and discovered Jersey
peacefully chewing his cud. The
festive bovine had made great inroads
upon the stack of hay and oats
and appeared to be perfectly contented
with his novel position.
The officers are forced to believe
that Jersey ascended the ladder leading
to the loft. Block and tackle was
rigged up and Jersey was once more
lowered to terra firma and the ladder
removed so that he could not climb

Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
( disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
and acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is not a quack medicine. It
was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years
and is a regular prescription. It is
composed of the best tonics known^
combined with the best blood purifi*
ers, acting directly on the mucous
surfaces. The perfect combination
of the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing
Catarrh. Send for testimonials

ATTACKED BY DOCS.
Woman's Face, Hands and Body
Fearfully Lacerated.
Atlanta, Feb. 6.?Mrs. Leila
Chandler, of Elberton, Ga., is here at
the Pasteur Institute receiving treatment
to prevent an attack of hydrophobia.
Mrs. Chandler was bitten by a dog
on Thursday. While in the yard cf
her home a vicious canine leaped
over the fence and attacked her. She
came immediately to Atlanta for
treatment.
The little daughter of James Skelton,
editor of the Elberton Star, was
bitten by the same dog, and she is
here for treatment also.
The State board of health is furnishing
such aid as is within its
power to both patients.
The Dog's Ferocity.
Elberton, Ga., Feb. 6.?Elberton
was thrown into unusual excitement
Thursday afternoon by the appearance
of a dog supposed to have hydrophobia
on Mcintosh street. It bit
Mary Leslie, the 12-year-old daughter
of Editor Skelton, and also Mrs.
Leila Chandler, the latter having several
serious wounds on the hands and
arms and breast. ?>
Mary I^eslie Skelton was sitting on
the front porch of Mr. G. W. Hubbard's
home when the dog, a yellow,
medium-Bized hound, came along and
bit her on the hand and arm. The
wounds were made through her
clothing, which is considered quite
fortunate should the dog prove to
have the rabies.
Mrs. Chandler was in the lane in
the rear of her home just across the
street when the same dog attacked
her, knocking her down and fearfully
biting both hands and arms and also
making an ugly wound in her chest.
Mrs. Chandler's screams attracted
the neighbors, but before any of
them reached her she had fought the
dog away and it continued its course
through the back lot.
The excitement occasioned by the
mad dog caused a fire alarm to be
sounded and in a very short while
the fire wagon and a large crowd of
citizens started in pursuit of the
dog.
In the meantime, Mrs. Chandler
and Mary Leslie Skelton received
medical attention, and were carried
to Atlanta this morning for treatment
at the Pasteur Institute.
Drug Clerk Drops Dead.
Anderson, Feb. 6.?J. P. McClellan,
Jr., aged twenty years, dropped
dead at 5 o'clock this evening while
waiting on two ladies in Evans' Pharmacy.
The ladies had just entered
the store when he approached them
to ascertain their wants. After speaking
to them he fell to the floor and
died instantly. Heart failure is the
attributed cause, yet he has not been
known to suffer with his heart before.
The deceased was a genial and popular
young man and is survived by his
father, two sisters and one brother.
Romance of Miss Jeffreys.
Washington, Feb. 2.?Miss Georgia
Jeffreys, the Washington postof-r
flee clerk, who was transferred to
Manila recently, and the announcement
of whose marriage to Prince AL
fred Abrenheim-Gararin, of Russia,
in Canton, Dec. 18, was announced,
is the young woman in whose defense
Representative J. Thomas Heflin, of
Alabama, shot and seriously wounded
Louis Lundy, a negro, in a street car
here March 27 last.
That the voune woman who is now
the Princess Gararin is the witness to
the shooting whose absence from the
city has seriously interfered with the
efforts of the district attorney's office
to bring the congressman to trial
is announced, and the fact that she
will not be able to testify may have
a marked effect upon the proceedings
against Mr. Heflin.
The matter was brought to light by
the fact that the war department,
which paid Miss Jeffrey's expenses to
the Orient, has received a letter from
the young woman inclosing a check
for $150 to reimburse the government
and also a clipping from a
Chinese newspaper announcing her
marriage in Christ church, Episcopal,
in Canton.
Miss Jeffreys, upon her arrival in
Hankow, China, was upon the street
one afternoon, when a carriage caromed
against her, knocking her down
and seriously hurting her. The man
who was afterwards to become her
husband was the occupant of the
carriage, and he alighted and personally
aided in seeing to the comfort of
the iniured woman." She Droceeded to
Manila, where the romance ripened,
the Prince, it is said, having followed
her there.
The incident in which the young
woman figured in this city last March
occurred upon a Pennsylvania avenue
car. The negro was a passenger in
the same car as Miss Jeffrey and, it is
alleged, insisted upon drinking and
using bad language in her presence.
Mr. Heflin commanded him to stop. A
struggle followed, during which the
congressman drew his revolver and
shot the negro through the throat.
He fired a second time, striking William
McCreary, a horseman, in the
leg. Mr. Heflin's trial has been announced
for the first part of February,
but it is believed the knowledge
that Miss Jeffrey, who will live in St.
Petersburg, cannot be a witness may
have the effect of indefinitely postponing
the case.
Negro Man Runs Amuck.
Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 4.?Following
a daring hold-up on a busy thoroughfare
to-day, Henry Morton, a negro,
armed with a revolver and with
pockets filled with ammunition, ran
amuck firing repeatedly into street
cars and houses and pedestrians, and
terrorizing a section of north Memphis
before he was shot to death by
police and citizens.
Morton was finally corraled on a
porch. At bay, the negro continued
to fire on his pursuers, but his bullets
went wild, while a volley from the
pursuers put an end to the battle.
Four rounds of unspent cartridges
were found in the pockets of the dead
negro.

ALMOST SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Mule Took Fright at Automobile and
Ran Away.
The Branchville Journal says on
Saturday afternoon Mr. E. A. Jenkins,
of Columbia, was going into
Branchville in an automobile when
he met Mr. Aquilla Drawdy and his
daughter in a buggy. The mule that
Mr. Drawdy was driving was frightened
at the machine and showed
signs of running away. Mr. Drawdy
hailed the driver of the machine and
asked him to stop until he could get
by.
The machine was stopped and Mr.
Drawdy drove to one side of the
road and got out of the buggy to
hold the mule. While the machine
had been stopped the engine was still
running, and this noise was more
than the trusty son of Balaam could
stand and he made preparations
' forthwith to move. Miss Drawdy had
gotten out of the buggy in the meantime.
The driver of the machine seeing
the buggy outside of tlje road
started to come on by, and as he did
this the mule broke and ran, tearing
the buggy completely to pieces and
giving both Mr. Drawdy and his
daughter several severe bruises and
cuts.
The accident was caused by the
driver of the machine not stopping
the engine when asked by the party
in tie buggy. It is lucky that a serious
accident was not met with.
The fact that both had gotten out
was the only thing that saved them
from being seriously and probably
fatally injured.
Preacher Assassinated.
Houston, Miss., Feb. 6.?The body
of Rev. W. T. Hudson, pastor of the
Baptist church at this place and one
of the most prominent ministers in
the State, was found riddled with
buckshot in a pond near Houston late
to-night.
Mr. Hudson left his apartments at
the Houston hotel early to-day and
when he did not return at nightfall,
a search was instituted which led to
the discovery of the body. It was his
custom to prepare his Sunday sermon
seated under a tree near the
pond and it is considered evident
that he was shot from ambush and
killed while thus engaged. As to the
motive which could have prompted
the killing or the person who committed
the crime, nothing can be
iea,rueu lu-uigiiL. iue uuiiuuiuu ui
the body indicated that he had been
dead for some hours.
Will Foster Hanged.
Spartanburg, Feb. 5.?Declaring
with his last breath that he was innocent
of the murder of John Young,
for which crime he was to pay the
death penalty, Will Foster, colored,
was hanged here to-day. The execution
took place in the county jail
and was witnessed by only a few persons.
Foster went to the scaffold
with a steady tread and was composed
until the trap was sprung.
Asked if he had anything to say,
he said, "I am innocent," and at the
top of his voice yelled, "Hallelujah!"
Before the cry left his lips the trap
was sprung and his body fell.
He was pronounced dead in six
minutes and the body was taken
down in 12 minutes.
The Secret of Long Life.
A French scientist has discovered I
one secret of long life. His method
deals with the blood. But long ago
millions of Americans had proved
Electric Bitters prolongs life and
makes it worth living. It purifies,
enriches and vitalizes the blood, rebuilds
wasted nerve cells, imparts
life and tone to the entire system.
Its a godsend to weak, sick and debilitated
people. "Kidney trouble had
blighted my life for months," writes
W. M. Sherman, of Cushing, Me.,
"but Electric Bitters cured me entirely."

Threaten Negro Editor.
Centralia, 111., Feb. 6.?Because
Rev. F. James Davidson, pastor of
the colored Baptist church and editor
of the Centralia Tribune, in a recent
issue of the paper told of some
of the shortcomings of his race and
also took a strong stand for race
segregation, especially in schools, a
crowd of young negroes bombarded
his home and ordered him to stop the
publication of the paper and leave
town. Several of the leaders were
arrested.
