girl baby, aged about 12 months,
by a negro boy aged about 12 years,
5this afternoon, on F. P. Wicker's

v from Newberry. The baby, the
\ daughter of Mary Boozer, was in the

.Charged With Killing Man.
Aiken, April 5.?John Zimmerman
has been lodged in jail in this city.
Zimmerman was arrested in Florence
some days ago and held on suspicion.
He was later identified as the man
wanted here. He is also wanted in
Barnwell county on a charge of killing
and robbing an old negro. In this
? county he is said to have robbed a
negro man after doping him and to
have thrown his body in a ditch,
where the negro was later found unconscious.
Zimmerman in the meantime
had, it is charged, taken charge
of the horse and buggy.
Zimmerman, it is charged, posed as
a "hoodoo" doctor and called himself
Dr. Staubes. He sold medicine and
professed to have hoodoo powers.
He hired the old negro to carry him
bout, and it was while he was being
<a *iven near Aiken that he is said to
S- ve doped the negro, stolen his
it >ney and eloped with his team.
Ti ? old man died about six mohths

T. D. JENKINS KILLS HIMSELF.
Sumter Man Commits Suicide in Society
Hill Hotel.
Darlington, .April 6.?T. D. Jenkins,
of Sumter, committed suicide at
Society Hill to-day about 3 o'clock,
by shooting himself in the left
temple with a 32-calibre Smith &
Wesson pistol. Mr. Jenkins came to
Society Hill about 12 o'clock to-day
and put up his horse at Mr. Sompayrac's
stable. Shortly after doing so,
Mr. Sompayrac asked him why he
was so nervous, and he stated that he
verv little last night. Mr. Som
payrac insisted on his going up to
the hotel and going to a room and
resting awhile, but he declined to do
so, saying he would rest there in the
store. However, about half-past 2
he did go to a hotel and went to a
room.
About 5 o'clock Mr. D. L. Winters
was notified that someone in the
house thought he heard a pistol shot
about 3 o'clock. Mr. Winters went
up to the window of the room occupied
by Mr. Jenkins and saw him lying
on the bed, and receiving no
response to his call he entered the
room and found that Mr. Jenkins
was dead. Magistrate Hardin is
holding an inquest to-night. He left
a note saying notify his mother at
Rembert, S. C.
Hunter Sentenced to Hang.
Savannah, Ga., April 6.?J. C.
Hunter, convicted of having slain his
wife at the time she and two other
women were murdered in the Perry
street house, in December, 1909, and
who was recently refused a new trial
by the supreme court, was to-day resentenced
by Judge Charlton to be
hanged on May 12. Brought into
the court room, Hunter was asked if
he had anything to say.
"I have," he answered, "with extreme
composure and calmness. "I
wish to say, your honor, that I know
nothing more of the murder of this
woman than you or anyone else in
this court room." *
Judge Charlton made no remarks,
confining himself to the legal expresnanoocarv
nrnnnnnce the sen
oiv/uo ut?w?Jk;v*4 j w v?v
tence. Hunter's attorneys and the
Rev. John S. Wilder, his spiritual adviser,
will go to Atlanta to appear before
the State prison commission to
ask for a commutation of Hunter's
sentence to life imprisonment at a
hearing to-morrow.

HEARING IN STRIPLING CASE.
| Georgia Prison Commission Considering
Matter of Pardon.
Atlanta, April 6.?All the evidence,
affidavits, petitions and letters
involved in the application for
pardon filed by Thomas E. Stripling,
former chief of police of Danville,
Va., and recaptured recently on a
charge of murder, for which he was
sentenced to a life term 14 years
ago, now are in the hands of the
State prison commission. Arguments
in the case were ended to-night. It
probably will be several days before
a Recommendation to the governor is
decided upon.
Strioline killed W. J. Cornett, in
Harris county, Georgia, 14 years ago,
was sentenced to a prison term and
escaped while being taken to his cell.
He went to Danville, Va., where he
was known as Morris, joined the po- ;
lice force of that city and afterwards
became chief. Many thousand persons
in this State and Virginia have
petitioned the governor to pardon
Stripling, on the grounds of his good
conduct since escaping. The relatives
of Cornett, however, have contested
his release, engaged attorneys
to appear before the prison board.
Stripling is in jail in Harris county.
Stripling pleaded the "unwritten
law," claiming that he killed Cornett
in defence of his home. Sworn statements
that Cornett had insulted
Stripling's sister were presented to
the commission.
Andrew C. Dibble Wins.
Orangeburg, April 6.?With only
three small precincts to De neara
from it seems practically certain that
Andrew C. Dibble was elected probate
judge here to-day to succeed
Judge Copes, who was recently elevated
to the circuit bench.
The election passed off very quietly
and the vote was light. So far
as heard from the vote stands: Dibble.
580; Sturkie, 490, Friday, 392.
It is not thought that the returns
from the three missing precincts will
change the standing of the candidates
materially.

"Kidney ills seize young and old.
Come quickly with little warning.
Children suffer in their early
years?
Can't control the kidney secretions.
Girls are languid, nervous, suffer
pain.
Women worry, can't do daily work.
Men have lame and aching backs.
The cure for man, woman or child
Is to cure the cause?the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills Teach the
cause.
Bamberg testimony proves it.
Mrs. J.. C. Folk, Jr., Carlisle St.,
Bamberg, S. C., says: "I heartily
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills,
for they have been very beneficial to
us. One of the younger members of
my family was troubled by a lame
and aching back and could not control
the kidney secretions at night.
I finally got1 a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills from the Peoples Drug Co. and
they brought entire relief. This
preparation deserves the highest
praise."
