CALLS FOR INFORMATION. Dispensary Commission Orders Felder to Give Evidence. T. B. Felder, of Atlanta, has been ordered by the new dispensary com-! mission to appear in Columbia on May 29 and tell what he knows oi the affairs of the old State dispensary. U / * VvAAr* "f n furnish I AXXZ Xiao UCCU V/1 UC1 V^u wv * all information in his possession in regard to any matter or matters connected with the said State dispensary against any officer of said institution j or of this State, and particularly the governor of this State." No announcement has been made by Mr. Felder as to whether he will come to Columbia and give the information desired. It may be that be will refuse to testify at this time on the ground that the new dispensary commission has no right to make the investigation requested by the governor of the State. In the event that he refuses to appear before the present dispensary commission, it is likely that Mr. Felder will withhold his information until an investigating committee is t named by the general assembly. The resolution passed by the new dispensary commission is as follows: "Be it resolved that the commission meet on the 29th day of May, A. D. 1911, and that Thomas B. Felder of the firm of Anderson, Felder, Rountree & Wilson be required to appear before said commission on that date and furnish them with all information in his possession or in the possession of his firm in connection with all matters and affairs of any and all claims due or owing to or by the State of South Carolina from and to any and all person or persons, in obedience to the contract made with the late members of this commission in writing to the said Anderson, Felder, Rountree & Wilson. "Resolved, second, That the said Thomas B. Felder at the same time be required to furnish all information in his possession in regard to any matter or matters connected with the said State dispensary against any officer of said institution or of this State, and particularly the governor of this State, the Hon. Cole. L. Blease, in accordance with his communications heretofore made, either in person or through the press of the State, and that he also furnish any information that he has in his possession, showing any connection or any dealings in person or as agent for others that the said Hon. Cole. L. Blease may have had with the State dispensary directors or any other person or persons connected with*said institution. "Resolved, third, That a copy of these resolutions he transmitted by registered letter through the United States mail to the said Anderson, Felder, Rountree & Wilson, and a copy individually to Thomas B. Felder of said firm." JONES LOSES APPEAL. Supreme Court Sustains Findings of Circuit Court. Columbia, May 17.?W. T. Jones, tho TTninn countv farmer, whose peti tion for executive clemency was turned down a few days ago by Gov. Blease, has lost his appeal to the supreme court. ' An opinion was handed down this afternoon, being written by Acting Associate Justice Robert Aldrich, in which the appeal of Jones is dismissed. This means that unless there is an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, (which could only come with some federal question,) or some unforeseen circumstances, Jones must come to Columbia in ten days and commence the serving of a life sentence. Jones was tried at the February term of court, 1908, upon an indictment charging him with the murder of his wife, Marian E. Jones, by administering or causing to be administered to her strychnine. Upon his trial he was convicted of murder, with recommendation to mercy, and he was sentenced by Judge Memmin^ ger to life imprisonment. A motion for a new trial was made before Judge Memminger, and by him was refused. An appeal from the circuit court to the supreme court was made, and the supreme court affirmed the lower court. A petition for a rehearing was made and was turned down by the supreme court. Thereupon the execution of the judgment of the circuit court was stayed by an order of Judge R. C. Watts, pending a motion for a new trial upon the ground of after-discovered evidence. This motion was heard at the summer term of the court of general sessions for Union county, before Judge Gruber, (special,) who, after a full hearing, refused the motion. This appeal, refused Wednesday, comes up on the order of Judge Gruber. Old newspapers, suitable for wrapping purposes, for sale at The Herald offiec. I ( . MAX OX THE WAR PATH. L. H. Zeigler Threatens to Rill Rev. J. J. Williams. Considerable excitement was caused Sunday afternoon at Grace Advent church, three miles from Walterboro, by an attempt on the part of L. H. Zeigler to "kill or horse whip" the minister, Rev. J. J. Williams. From the reports it appears that Sunday afternoon just after the regular service and during the communion service, L. H. Zeigler came to the church and going in the door threatened to kill Mr. Williams. The door was immediately closed, locked from the inside, and Mr. Williams was spirited away by his friends. The congregation was DroKeu uy and a messenger was sent to the nearest telephone to call Magistrate Bryan and Sheriff Fox. Mr. Zeigler being very angry threatened to shoot any one who interfered with him. When it was found out that the sheriff had been summoned, Mr. Zeigler's son, Willie, went to his home, which is a short distance from the church and returned armed with shot guns and pistols. Sheriff Fox and Magistrate Bryan responded, but did not reach there until the Zeiglers had gone to their home. The cause of the trouble seems that Mr. Zeigler was incensed because Mr. Williams had performed the ceremony when his son was married a month ago. Monday morning Mr. Williams and several of the officers and members of the church came to Walterboro, and Mr. Williams swore out two warrants against Mr." Zeigler and one against his son, Willie. The preliminary hearing will be held before Magistrate Bryan at the court house Monday mornng at ten o'clock.? Walterboro Press and Standard. Saved Many from Death. W. L. Mock, of Mock, Ark., believes he has saved many lives in his 25 years of experience in the drug business. "What I always like to do," he writes, "is. to recommend Dr. King's New Discovery for weak, sore lungs, hard colds, hoarseness, obstinate coughs, la grippe, croup, asthma or o^her bronchial affection, for I feel sure that a number of my neighbors are alive and well to-day because they took my advice to use it. I honestly believe it is the best throat and lung medicine that's made." Easy to prove he's right. Get a trial bottle free, or regular 50c. or $1.00 bottle.

The New York World says farmers from Kansas, sheep raisers from Oregon, merchants from Texas and men in the employ of the Forestry Department testified Saturday on behalf of the United States Government against "Col" Christopher Columbus Wilson and his associates in the management of the United Wireless Telegraph Company. Wilson and his friends are charged with fraudulent use of the mails in selling wireless stock. So well had their lurid circulars and "follow J up" canvassers auiie tueir v?uit, mc witnesses testified, that the demand on Wilson and his friends for stock became so great that they had to buy it in the open market in order to satisfy clamorous customers. It was proved they bought wireless stock on the curb in Chicago at $1 a share and shipped it to farmers and sheep raisers at $35 a share, saying it was Treasury stock and binding the purchasers not to transfer it for at least two years, when all would be millionaires. Charles F. DeTarr, of Anthony, Kan., the first witness, said he had received several "come-on" circulars from the United Wireless people and had been visited later by a canvasser, who induced him to buy six shares at $35 a share. From that time he never had any peace. Agents for the Wireless called on him almost every week 'and he bought more stock at the same price. He was so easy that they wanted him to pay $40 a share. He split the difference by giving up $37.50 a share. All this stock the government showed had been "Col." Wilson's personal property. John J. Peth, of Mount Vernon, Wash.; Perry Burch, of Ashland, Ore.; Charles W. Peck, of Salt Lake City; Henry S. M. Spielman, a farm,er, of Tekamah, Neb.; George H. Graham, of Oregon, and P. T. Shields, of San Antonio, testified in a strain similar to that of De Tarr. A Father's Vengeance, would have fallen on any one who attacked the son of Peter Bondy, of South Rockwood, Mich., but he was powerless before attacks of kidney trouble. "Doctors could not help him," he wrote, "so at last we gave him Electric Bitters and he improved wonderfully from taking six bottles. It's the best kidney medicine I ever saw." Backache, tired feeling, nervousness, loss of appetite, warn of kidney trouble that may end in dropsy, diabetes or Brig*ht's disease. Beware: Take Electric Bitters and be safe.

Richmond, Va.t May 18.?The feature of the first day's session of the | American Cotton Manufacturers' asI sociation was the heated discuscussion between Arthus Marsh, president of the New York cotton exchange, and Lewis W. Parker, of Greenville, chairman of the committee on relations with cotton exchanges. The occasion was the report of the committee and the result was practically an open rupture of the strained relations which have existed for same time between the association and the exchanges. Mr. Parker's assertion that the I Mo?r VnrL- r-nttnn ovr,hfiTierP rflt.ers to V. " 0~ speculators rather than to the needs of legitimate business, and that the prices of cotton have been manipulated by members of the exchange, to the great detriment of both spinners and producers, was cheered to the echo by the convention. Mr. Marsh warmly defended the exchange, pointing out that'if is an association of merchants trading in cotton, with rules in the interest of the merchants rather than in that of the manufacturer or the producer. The convention decided with Mr. Parker, adopting the report of the committee unanimously and continuing the committee for further conference with representatives of the exchanges and with instructions that if relief is not given it shall seek a remedy through legislative cnanneis. Prays in Court. Bainbridge, Ga., May 18.?Dramatically begging to be allowed to offer prayer for her son and the jury, Mrs. S. D. L. Ray knelt at the foot of the witness stand in the superior court room here to-day and prayed earnestly. Jurymen and others in the court room shed tears. The son, S. T. C. Ray, is charged with the murder of Essie Schwarz, a young girl, whom the State alleges he brought here from Montgomery, Ala., on the night of April 1 last, and when she refused to return to Montgomery with him, shot her to death. The defense alleges insanity. The boy apparently was unmoved by his mother's prayer and seemingly has paid little attention to the development of the State's case. \ ct for Southern. \ Barnwell, May 18.?After deliberating for about two hours this afternoon, the jury in the case of L. A. Ferguson vs. the Southern Railway company, returned a verdict for the defendant company. The plaintiff asked for damages in the amount of $40,000 for injuries sustained in head-on collision on January 23, 1908, between an extra train and train No. 73, near Dent, a little station north of Columbia. The trial consumed four days. This was a companion suit to the Menefee case, tried here several weeks ago, when a verdict for $50,000 was given plaintiff, but was afterward reduced to $30,000 by the court. Ferguson was the conductor and Menefee the engineer on the extra train. Balked at Cold Steel. "I wouldn't let a doctor cut my foot off," said H. D.

Bamberg has to Bow to the Inevitable?Scores of Citizens Prove It. After reading the public statement of this representative citizen of Bamberg given below, you must come to this conclusion: A remedy which cured years ago, which has kept the kidneys in good health since, can be relied upon to perform the same j work in other cases. Read this: Mrs. J. Q. Adams, Main St., Bamberg, S. C., says: "Nothing has ever given me as much relief as Doan's Kidney Pills which I procured several years ago at the Peoples Drug Co. Kidney trouble made me ' ? - -- l *1 miseraoie ior several years auu mcic was a steady, dull ache across the small of my back. The kidney se-? cretions .bothered me and sometimes I felt dizzy and unsteady on my feet. The contents of two or three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills restored me to good health." (Statement given March 12, 1908.) A Second Endorsement. Mrs. Adams was interviewed on January 26, 1911 and she said: "I have taken Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally since I endorsed them and they have always helped me. I still value this remedy highly and you may continue to use my iuruici endorsement of it." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Could not draw d deep breath or lie on left side, and any little exertion would cause palpitation. Under advice I took | Dr. Miles' Heart Kemedy and Nervine. I took about thirteen bottles, am in better health than I ever was, and have gained 14 pounds." MRS. LILLIE THOMAS, Upper Sandusky, Ohio. For many years Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy has been very successful in the treatment of heart troubles, because of its tonic effect upon ' the heart nerves and muscles. Even in severe cases of long standing it has frequently prolonged life for , many years after doctors had given up all hope, as proven by thousands of letters we have received from grateful people.
