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.

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.?

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."

SUCKERS BIT GREEDILY. How
People Were Buncoed Out of
Their Hard Earned Money.
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. Every bottle guaranteed. . 50c.

IS BAD INFLUENCE.
Lewis \V. Parker Denounces the
Methods of Cotton Exchange.
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.

ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
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."

Pain in
Heart
"For two years I had pain in
my heart, back and left side.
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.
Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy is sold by all
druggists. If the first bottle fails to
benefit, your druggist will return your
bioney.
