For a time the boy's condition was j
so serious that it was feared he

sr - hour he was strong enough to tell
his story.

Alleges Corruption.
Ife'* Tallahassee, Fla., May 4.?Followp|:
Ing the adoption to-day. by the Florida*house
of resolutions looking to
| further investigation of the bribery
|v'' charges, it is rumored abuot the
jp|C State capitol that there will be instill
tuted impeachment proceedings
jfpY:' against certain officials and a probable
extra session of the legislature
IX-to look into the matter. The situation
grows out of the statement of
Representative Wall that money had
been offered him by persons unknown
to him for a purpose of which he professed.
ignorance. The resolutions
adopted to-day were introduced by
Representative Smith, of Clay county,
and provided for a a committee
and giving it power to subpoena wit!nesses
and compel them to produce
<: l>ooks and papers which may bear on
the alleged attempt to bribe.

LAD TAKES POISON.
Alex Steward Found Dead at Charleston
Ball Park.
Charleston, May 4.?Alex Steward,
18 years of age, was found dead tonight
at the old base ball park on
Meeting street. His mouth was burned
with carbolic acid, probably taken
with suicidal intent.
He lost his father and mother some
time ago, and it is thought that he
was temporarily insane when he
took the poison.
The inquest will be held to-morrow.
No News for "The State."
A reporter for The State last
Thursday while making his usual
rounds, was handed the following
letter from the office of Gov. Blease:
Columbia, S. C., May 4, 1911.
Mr. Bell: The unfairness with
which the Columbia State treated me
durine the campaign was overlooked
by me when I came into office, and I
I gave to the correspondents all of
the information in the office, and requested
my secretary and his assistant
to be courteous and polite to all
of the reporters and give them all of
the public news.
Those in charge of the .State saw
fit not to appreciate it but continued
to misrepresent me and to abuse me
editorially and even now they publish
falsehoods about me under assumed
names, and when corrections
are sent in by my friends, refuse to
publish them for the people.
Mr. Traywick has just sent in a
communication in reply to an editorial
from the State which the State
refused flatly to publish, and Mr.
Traywick is now getting it published
in such county papers as will ac|
cept it.
I In view of these facts, I cannot give
to the State, any news from this office,
and have so instructed both of
the young men in the office. I regret
i this, as I feel that my acts in the
office belong to the public, yet I feel
that there are other sources through
which they can be received, and
henceforth there is nothing doing
here for the Columbia State. Such
information as it publishes will have
to be received from some* other
source. If it is false, it can be no
worse than the malicious misrepresentations
which they have been publishing
against me since the Tillman

Invasion of Mexico Predicted.
Washington, May 4.?Invasion of
Mexico within the immediate future
was predicted in the house to-day by
Representative Focht, of Pennsylvania.
He said an army officer just
returned from the border told him
intervention was inevitable. Mr.
Focht did not name the officer.
Mr. Focht said the officer, a young
man associated with him, declared
that the army was going over the
Mexican border "to stay."
"I would not think that the president
would object. We have been absorbing
everything they did not want
in Europe for years and years. We
have tak^n as trade in stock what
nobody wanted in the Philippines?
another white man's burden. We added
a little more down here in the
West Indies. Why could not we occupy
something that is worth something
and where we could be of some
great good to somebody?

are called upon to discuss occasionally
paramount questions and I
believe that this will he a mighty interesting
one before the house adjourns."
Mr. Focht contended that the
United States wanted empire and it
was about to follow the "lure of gold
and the call of adventure."

securing money from landlords of

and keepers of houses for police protection.

Plan for Love Feast.
s
Washington, May 4.?Plans for. a
50th anniversary love feast to be attended
by the Union and Confederate
soldiers who fought each other in the
battle of Manassas are being made
in Washington to-day.
The peace meeting is to be held
July 1, on the field where the men
met 50 years ago, and it is expected
that several hundred of the soldiers
on each side will attend.
Considerable impetus was given
the project at a raising of the Stars
and Stripes on the battlefield near
Manassas, Virginia, and Washington 1
veterans who were in attendance re.
turned to this city to-night enthusiastic
over the plans. Lieut. George
C. Round, of the United States Signal
pnmc in a aneeeh he made at the
~ - -x
flag-raising, said that the soldiers
should abidk by the old Mosaic custom
in which every one met and
wiped out their debts and grievances
once every 50 years. He is in Washington

veterans, and met them to-night on
the plans. The movement' has received
the indorsement of the Daugh- N
ters of the American Revolution and
the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Resignation Not Due to Potash.

Taft to-day gave Representatives
Lever, of South Carolina, and Brantley,
of Georgia, his personal and em- .
phatic assurance that Dr. David ,
Jayne Hill had ont resigned as ambassador
to Germanv on account of
potash controversy. As a result of
this conference Mr. Lever promised
the executive that he would withdraw
the resolution which he pre- <
sented in the house calling for in- '
formation as to the reasons why Dr.
Hill had left the diplomatic service.
While the president did not confide
to the two representatives the
reason of Dr. Hill's resignation, he
made it perfectly plain* that the ambassador
had not decided to leave
Berlin because 4>f the apparent failure
of the potash negotiations.
As he left the White House Mr.
Lever said that he was wholly satis- *
fied with the statement made by the
president, and that he would not press
his resolution. This leaves the potash
matter as far from a solution as :
ever.

NATURE'S WARNING.
Bamberg People Must Recognize and
Heed It.
Kidney ills come quietly?mysteriously,
But nature always warns you.
Notice the kidney secretions.
See if the color is unhealthy?
If there are settlings and sediment,
Passages frequent, scanty, painful.
It's time then to use Doan'S'Kidney
Pills,
To ward off Bright's disease or
dropsy.
Doan's have done great work in
Bamberg.
Mrs. J. W. Baxter, Carlisle St.,
Bamberg, S. C., says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills, obtained at the Peoples
Drug Co., have been used in our
household and have proven very
beneficial. A member of our family
suffered severely from backache and
also had trouble from too frequent
passages of the kidney secretions.
Doan's Kidney Pills did good work
in this case and convinced us of their
merits."
For sale by all dealers. Pric# 50
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,

States.

After
La Grippe
"I had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. , It felt as
though there was a heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
? ? ?
seemed tftat my Drain would
burst. I was so nervous that
I could not rest or sleep. When
I dozed off I would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole
body. Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits."
MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
Seabrook, N. H.
The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it-leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.
Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine
should be taken for some time
to thoroughly restore nerve
strength.
Dr. Miles' Nervine is sold by all druggists.
If the first bottle does not benefit,
your druggist will return your money.
