The governor's answer was: "When ; I to Columbia I expect to request 1 I)? Mcintosh to take a seat on r.iio 1 stand. I'll answer that question then ' and not behind his back as a cona.d like you. V Calling the chief executive a ['damned liar," Mr. Norwood swept aside the policemen standing beside the/little swinging gates to the inclo&Vvl stand and rushed toward the governor, lighting his way against , other policemen and State detectives who sprang betwen. It was with difficulty that the infuriated man was forced backward down the ten-foot steps, it requiring the combined > etfHSts of half a dozen stalwart men to keep him from breaking through ^ and getting to the gown.or, who remained standing in the far corner of the stand where he \sa, wiien he made the statement.

F NOT REAL ?IL HE IS SURELY A COUSIN Small Bur Strongly Resembling the Boll NVeavil is Found in Cotton Crop of J. W. Sasser Near Bayboro,?An Investigation is Being Made. Mr. J. R. Bowles while at Bayboro ast Friday found what looks very nuch like a Texas boll weavil, The nsect was in a jar, together with a :otton bloom, upon which it was feedng, when delivered to him by J. W. Sasser of Bayboro. Mr. Sasser found t in his crop feeding inside of the dooms. It was a small black bug ind as to size and apparent habits, lolor and the like, it was pronounced ;o be either a boll weavil or a first . ousin to him. The insect was brought here for ;he purpose of being sent olf to Clemson College. Several gentlemen who ooked at it stated that in their opinion it was a real boll weavil. Among hose giving this as their opinion were 3apt. J. it. Bowles and Mr. J. W. Tayor. Later the insect was delivered to Prof. M. W. Wall, manager of the farm demonstration work. He had several specimens of the real boll A'oavil here and upon comparing them together he stated that the two injects were apparently different spe ies. On Monday Mr. Wall left here for Hayboro to make a closer investigation. Later Prof. M. W. Wall went to the place and made a careful examination. Me states that the insect is similiar to the weavil, but is not the same, and that while it may injure the cotton to some extent, it is not dangerous like the other. He is now sending off specimens of the bug to Clemson College and as soon as the experts determine the name it will be published. SHOT ANI) KILEI) NEGRO, IN CITY OF GAFFNEY, Harold Sparks, a Young White Man, Shot and Killed Mose Petty. Gaffney, S. C., July 18.?With dozens of hurrying pedestrians, composng the usual Saturday evening . rowd, as spectators, Harold Sparks, Jt well known young white man of Cherokee county, shot and instantly silled it negro named.Moso Morehead, ilia^. Mo so Petty, on one of Gaffney's irincipal thoroughfares tonight. The shooting took place about 8 o'clock and no shots were fired until after the negro had already out the white man across the left shoulder, inflicting a number of painful wounds. It is said that the dispute arose aver the fact that the negro would not drive his wagon out of the way to let the white man pass, and when the two met later in the evening the Argument was renewed. Heated words were heard and then the negro is said to have seized Mr. Sparks and dragged him from the door of a store, inflicting the cuts with a large knife. Sparks then opened fire with his pistol and three bullets took effect in the negro's breast, around the heart. NOT WISE TO TAKE CALOMEL. Dodson's Liver Tone is just as sure in results and always safe, pleasant; in taste and has no bad after effects. \s a remedy for torpid liver calomel ; las more than met its match in Dodson's Liver Tone. This medicine does lot roughly force the liver on to perform its work. It acts gently but surely. Calomel depends for its power up111 exciting the liver to do more work, ind often the liver is too weak to stand such treatment, and after taking calomel you are as a result some- , times worse off than before. Dodson's Liver Tone cannot cause my of the dangerous effects that . ri - e |? >iten ioiiow the use of calomel. It is entirely vegetable and pleasant to the taste and is suitable for children and grown people. (let a large bottle for fifty cents at Conway Drug Co under the guarantee that if it doesn't satisfy you that it perfectly takes the place of calomel you will be given your money back with a smile right at the store where you bought Dodson's Liver Tone. ?adv. , t SM FIRST, LAST.
