AUGUSTA STRIKE SETTLED. Trolley Company Grants Practically All Demands of Men. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 17.?After the mediation board had made its final proposition to the striking car men,\ directing attention to the fact that the company had agreed to recognize the Amalgamated Association, to shorten hours, to an increase of 12% per cent, and to arbitration of the cases of 20 men whom it accused of violence since the strike; even after the men had voted to turn down the proposition, because it provided that all men return to work at once except those to be arbitrated, Col. O'Leary let drop an inkling of just what rigid military law and the forced operation of the cars would mean, and the strike was settled. A hurried meeting of the union was called after 10 o'clock?while the mediators were in the act of preparing their report fixing the blame for failure to reach adjustment? and the information was allowed to "leak" that the men were going to agree. Half an hour later a report was sent to the mediators from the union agreeing that the concessions secured for them from the company were accepted, that they would agree to return to w-ork Saturday morning, the company in the meantime to submit a list of charges against the twenty odd men to the mediators for inspection, to decide if the cases were subject to arbitration. The mediators are to act in a capacity similar to grand jurors, and such cases as they find "no bill" in the company is ' compelled to put them back to work, the "true bill" cases go to trial by arbitrators, whose decision is final and binding on both sides. Friday night all strike-breakers will be laid off. Col. O'Leary at 11 o'clock released all military under orders, except one company at the power house, which is to remain at the discretion of Major Levy. When they are ordered off duty the martial law proclamation automatically becomes void. The Second Primary. : a v The State executive committee yesterday made official declaration of the result of the primary vote taken on Tuesday for the nomination of a 1 Democratic candidate for attorney general of South Carolina. The returns having been canvassed, showed this result: Thomas H. Peeples, 28,449 votes; J. Fraser Lyon, 22,407 votes. Mr. Peeples having a majority of the votes cast, was declare the nominee of the Democratic party in South Carolina for the office and as such will be voted for at the general election to be held on November 5. Six.counties, Greenville, Beaufort, Dillon, Kershaw. Lancaster and Oconee. made no returns to the executive committee, and the votes cast in these counties were not. of course, considered in the result. Unofficial returns show that a total ot 5.420 votes were cast in these six counties. I but the party authorities in these counties evidently did not think it worth while to send in the ballot taken, and more than five thousand Democrats voted to no effect and were practically disfranchised by the neglect of those charged with the conduct of the party primary. The inclusion of these votes would not have made any material effect upon the general result. There were about seven hundred more Lyon votes among them than Peeples votes. In the first primary Lyon received 64,511 votes and Peeples received 4 6,545 votes. Earle and Evans togetner received i ue ruminating'vote in the second primary fell short by 208 of the "scattering" votes cast in the first primary. Mr. Peeples was nominated for attorney general in the second primary by 1S,096 fewer votes than were cast for him as an original choice in the first primary. Mr. Lyon received 4 2.104 votes fewer in the second primary than he received in the first. He lost between the two primaries 13,655 more votes than his successful opponent received in the second primary. Mr. Peeples was nominated by a vote that fell 36,062 votes short of the vote cast in the first primary for the man he defeated. The winner lost between the first and the second primary IS,096 votes or thirty more than the plurality his defeated opponent had over him on the first ballot. The total vote returned for attorney general in the first primary was 139,713; in the second primary 50,S5 6. The second primary returned thirty-six per cent, of the first primary, a little more than one-third the voting: strength of the Democrats of South Carolina. Mr. Peeples was nominated by the votes of twenty-one per cent, of those whose ballots were cast for attorney general in the first primary, a fraction more than one-fifth of the Democrats of the State. Unquestionably the primary is a great institution.?Charleston Evening Post. SHAFT PENETRATES LUNGS. J. M. Goodwin Probably Fatally 1 Hurt at Union Fair. Union, Oct. 17.?A distressing accident occurred at the county fair grounds this afternoon, as the result j of which J. M. Goodwin, a young ? white man of this city, is at death's s door, with very slight chance to re- * cover. a Mr. Goodwin was riding his motor- f cycle on the -race track and collided with the shafts of a gig. The end of c one shaft entered his side and pene- c trated his lungs. He was rushed to his boarding house and his wounds s dressed, but the attending physicians * say that his chances are slight. t Mr. Goodwin is from Greenville, c but has been here a number of years t as manager of the local coca-cola * bottling plant. His habits and character have been exemplary and the t horrible accident is widely and sin- s cerely deplored. Mr. Goodwin is un- a married. ' . g RACE QUESTION IN COURT. b a Lawyers Seek Ruling on Statute Prohibiting Intermarriage. New York, Oct. 15.?A case that will undoubtedly prove of great in- t terest to constitutional lawyers has 1 been begun in the supreme court. ^ Mrs. Iva B. Matthews Richardson is. t suing for separation from Robert g Kenelworth Richardson, vice presi- 1 dent and general manager of the c Christian Food company. Mrs. Rich ardson alleges desertion, and men- v tions an employe of her husband, d The couple wore married in Mem- 1 phis, Tenn., April 2, 1907, under ? the name of Robert K. and Iva B. t M. Bryan. ^ In his reply, Richardson attacks f the validity of his marriage on the ? ground that his wife has negro blood. c Mrs. Richardson denies the charge, t She states she is descended on her e mother's sitle from Bourbon stock and on her father's side from Okes- j "chobule, a famous Seminole chief. \ Mrs. Richardson's counsel, Isaac s B. Reinhardt, while confident that he can prove his client has not a ^ trace of negro blood, may attack t the constitutionality of the Tennes- f see statute, which prohibts the mar- * riage of negroes and whites. ' ^ As a test, he said to-day, he is pre- r pared to take the case to the United States supreme court. It is a question, he said, whether the federal or State constitution is supreme. STOMACH TROUBLES \ ?? Cured?By Vinol?Here is Proof Seymour, Ind.?"I was troubled with i a chronic stomach trouble, and five j weeks ago it got so bad I had to give i tip work. I had tried various medi i cmes wiuioui rener, ana was nnany induced to try Vinol. After taking the first bottle I was greatly benefited. Am now on the third bottle and ready to resume work. Am rapidly gaining in weight and strength." Edw. Nieman. It * is the curative medicinal elements of the cods' livers, combined with the strengthening properties of tonic irpn contained in Vinol which makes it so successful in restoring perfect digestion and at the same time it builds up the tired, overworked and run-down system. Try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be j returned if it does not help you. Peoples ]>rug Co., Bamberg, S. C.

WHY NOT GET A GUARANTEE? 3very Article of Merit that is Sold These Days is Guaranteed?No Guarantee Often Means Poor Quality. There is very little excuse for any jerson to claim that he has been 'stung" on a purchase. Fifty years igo the buyer had to look out, but toLay it is unusual to find a merchant vho will not return the money for my article that has proved unsatisactory. An excellent example of this kind >f fair dealing is shown by the clean:ut guarantee that Peoples Drug Store give on Dodson's Liver Tone. These people tell us that any per ion wno pays ouc. ior.a oouie op jjoq;on's Liver Tone and does not find t a gentle and most pleasant liver onic, harmless, but a sure reliever >f constipation and a perfect substiute for calomel, can get his money sack just as quick as they can get it lut of the money drawer. Dodson's Liver Tone has practically aken the place of calomel. It is abolutely harmless, sure in its action md causes no restriction of habit or liet. No wonder the drug people are dad to guarantee it, while other rem dies that imitate the claims of Dodon's Liver Tone are not guaranteed it all. The Youth's Companion for 1913.
