Charleston, June 10.?The introduction of a bill by Alderman Grimball at the meeting of the city council to-day providing for the placing of the police department under a hoard of commissioners, removing ;t from direct control of the mayor, precipitated a spirited reply from Mayor Grace, although Alderman Grimball stated that he was actuated in the introduction of the bill by an observation of the part that the police department has played in politics over a period of many years and not solely on account of any activity of the present administration. Mayor Grace seemed to take the introduction of the bill as a blow at his administration and leaving his desk in charge of Mayor Pro Tem.

Five of the wounded t were hurried to the Salem hospital in an automobile. All are expected < to recover. \ Officers were rushed here in auto- * mobiles from Salem but order had ( been restored before their arrival, f The actual fighting did not last more t than five minutes. e The trouble started when pickets of ? the Industrial Workers of the World, t who have conducted a strike against r the hosiery mills for several weeks t to gain an increase in wages, inter- j fered with the 500 English speaking i employes as they left the mills to- i night. s Policemen tried to protect the em- ? ployes, but could not restore order. s Chairman Hall, of the board of select- j men, began reading the riot act, but bricks and bottles began to fly and the police charged the mob. According to spectators, shots were fired from two tenement houses occupied by mill hands.

The Landmark learned within the 3ast few days that Judge Walter Ulark, in his recent address before he North Carolina Federation of iVomen's Clubs at Xewbern, said that t is a matter of record that in Iredell bounty a woman was sentenced to be juartered and burned for the murder )f her husband. The date at which fudge Clark fixed this event has not )een learned and the records of Ireiell do not show it. However, the ecords of the county, except an old >ook of will which dates back to l900, were burned in the fire which lestroyed the old court house that tood in the square. If this sentence vas passed before Iredell was formed in 1788, the records of Rowan i 'nnntv nf TL*hi>h this t.erritorv was I hen a part, should show it. Under the old English law persons vere often sentenced to be "hung, Irawn and quartered," but it will be lews to most people that in Iredell bounty a woman was sentenced to be )urned and quartered. The Landmark sn't anxious to have the fact estabished, but since the matter has been irought up it would be interesting to enow from what record Judge Clark luotes. This isn't intended as a delial of the statement, for Judge Clark s well posted and usually accurate n matter historical, but The Landnark is seeking information?Statesrille Landmark.

Chester, June 9.?The oil switch it the Southern Power Company's substation here exploded last night :bout 7 o'clock, throwing the city into larkness for a few minutes. Manager W. E. Sledge attributed the ;rouble to the leakage of water, durng the storm of the afternoon and evening, in the switch causing an ire, which rent the switch into a ;housand pieces. The noise in the switch attracted considerable notice for some minltes and it was feared that it might explode. An effort was made to cut )ff the current, which is always done rom the central office in Charlotte, cefore that could be done the terrific explosion came, darkening the city ind all the surrounding country. By ast work the improved switch ar angement enabled Manager Sledge ;o throw the lights back on from current generated from another station. This new switch arrangement is provng a great help. It eliminates long stretches of darkness when the lines ire struck by lightning or troubles similar to what the substation exlerienced here last night. BULLET THROUGH HIS BODY. Robert D.

USE OF CALOMEL , PRACTICALLY STOPPED. For Bilious Attacks, Constipation and All Liver Troubles, Dangerous Calomel Gives Way to Dodson's Liver Tone. Every druggist in the state has noticed a great falling off in the sale of % calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place. "Calomel is often dangerous and people know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better results," says Peoples Drug Co. Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by Peoples Drug Co., who sell it. A large bottle costs 50 cents,, and if it fails to give easy relief in every case of sluggishness, you have only to ask for your money back. It will be promptly returned. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy? harmless to both children and adults. A bottle in the house may save you* a day's work or keep your children from missing school. Keep your liver working and your liver will not keep you from working. For sixty-seven years have been manufacturing and perfecting Engines.
