The only killing, reported here as

friendly tussle with Frank Williams,
. the latter having a gun in his hands
/ at the time, Tho party composed of
s jveral colored men had been at1
ending a shooting match near
J3ickivil'o and were returning home
along the road, and those of them
who had guns were shooting at trees
:ir d bushes along the road. Abram

Williams, Wm Buck, and John H.
Williams were on the Bucksvillo and
Port Harrelson road, that Abram
Blain and Frank Williams were a
little behind the other boys playing
with a gun and this stemed to be
a friendly play. I heard Frank sav
"Look out Abrains, this gun is loaded."
I then looked ofT. T heard the
gun fire and then I looked back and
saw Abram Blain fall. Abram'
Blaiu dropped down on his knees
and caught bis breast and fell over

and Frank Williams was
saying "Go back this gun has a
shell in it. I saw the gun fire and

DODSON'8 LIVER-TONE
INSTEAD OF CALOMEL
Just as Sure?Always Safe?No Bad
Effects Ever Follow This Pleasant
Tasting Liquid.
As a remedy for a torpid liver
calomel has more than met its match
in Dodson* Liver Tone, Io does
not lash the liver on to perform its
work at the cost of its strength.
Calomel depends for its p.^wer
upon exciting tbo liver to do more
work, and often tne liver is too weak
to stand such treatment, and you
are worse oil than before.
Hudson's Liver-Tone cannot
cause any of the daDgerou9 < fleets
thai often follow the use of calomel.
?t is entirely vegetable and pleasant
I to ;ho taste, and is su ifcable for chil
dren and grown people.
Get a 50c bottle at Norton JDrug
Company under the guarantee thai
if it doesn't satisfy you that it is a
perfect substitute for calomel you
get your money back.
Dies in Wilmington.
Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Hyman received
a telegram on Christmas da}' stating
that their young nephew, 10uward
Sanders, died very suddenly of
cerebro spinal meningitis. They in
tended to go to tbo funeral but were
advised by their family physician
not to do so, as the disease is verj
contagious. To show how careful
not only a family should be but a
whole community. They wore also
advised to destroy all letters r( eoiv
orl fi*nm Wilmington from the alTect- I
ed family. Last week the newspapers
contained news items concerning
an epidemic of this disease t hen
raging in a small* town in Georgia
and it was stated that by means of
a rigid quarantine, and the giving
of an ami-toxin the situation hao
been brought under control after
many deaths and a large expense
to the community. Those who read
this item will do well to be careful
about spreading the disease should
they happen to visit a family or com
munity that is afliected.

O Where are the good things promised me V
A Bv the Old Year that is civing? A
A And what care I how ill he be A
A Who was so given to lying? A
X A comely youth, he sought my door X
X And tarried till his locks were hoar; X
Y A lair and foul, capricious guest, Y
Y Who swore to pivo me of his best; Y
Y ' Who pledged himself a true year; V
0 But he was then?the New Year. 0
A Where are the silver and the gold A
A Ere now should fill my wallet? A
X What mean these scanty clothes and old, X
Y This attic room and pallet? X
Y The purse he dangled in my view Y
Y Betwixt his juggling hands slipped through. V
Y He found me poor, he left me poorer; V
0 But now a richer friend, and surer, 0
A Awaits me?in the New Year. A
A Where are the poet's bays he said A
X My dulcet song should gain me? X
X The wreath that was to crown my head, Y
Y Th* applause that should sustain me? Y
Y Alack! round other brows than mine V
y 1 sec the fresh-won laurels twine! y
0 Still, for the music's sake, I sing; 0

X Where is the one clear face to love X
X His golden months should bring me, X
Y Whose smile a recompense would prove Y
Y For all the ills that cling me? Y
0 My heart still beats in loneliness; V
A There is no darling hand to press; O
A But, oh, 1 dream we yet shall meet, A
A And trust to find her kisses sweet, A
X And win her?in the New Year. A
Y Where are the works in patience wrought; Y
Y The grace to love my neighbor; Y
sins left off; the wisdom taught Y
0 Of suffering and labor; 0
