Anna Belie Emey, of this place, says: "I suf fered for 15 years with tia awful pain io my right side, caused from womanly trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with out success. I suffered so very much, that I became down in mind, and as help less as a baby. I was in the worst kind of shape, was unable to do any work. I began taking Cardui, the womat', tonic, and got relief from the very first dose. * By the time I had taken 12 bot tles, my health was completely restored. 1 am now 48 years years old, out feel at good as 1 did when only 16.

For be bad seen certain signa that one of bis sentiment that a certain unworthy known as "Shiftless Joe" bad done the foul deed, and possessed a hunch that ho was, about to horsewhip Joe until he outsquealed any pig critter that was ever lifted over a fence on a moonless night. So, being a man of deeds as well as thoughts, he took down' his trusty bull whip and started swampward towards the abode of tris victim to be. Now Shiftless Joe Was not reckoned among the 400 of John Harding's com munity, and when one is told that there were but 400 people In that dis trict he will understand that the state ment has a well-defined meaning. He Uved alone at the edge qt the big swamp, fishing in summer when it waa not too hot; trapping in winter when lt was not too-cold; sleeping and loafing the year around, ho was avoid ed by the entire bard-worklng.^hard p ray lng settlement. It was a long tramp from the home of Harding to the miserable cabin of the trapper, and by tho time the for mer had arrived there his righteous wrath against the slothful, sinful be ing whom he Bought was grim and un relenting. "My house ls the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves," he quoted sternly. Then he raised his fist and smote upon the wretched door such a blow as Moses of old might have struck when he split the rock and bade the waters gush forth. From within a squeaky, rat like voice bade him enter, and through the narrow doorway he crowded. He glanced around the cluttered place. From one corner a thin, weasel like figure arose and stood cringing before the mighty one, fear thickly spreading his face as he noted the formidable whip tightly clutched in the equally formidable hand. "Good morning, Mr. Harding. Happy New Year." he said, fawningly. Vit ls a bad mo mir T for you, and lt is going to be an uu-appy beginning of the New Year," he retorted. "Steal sfiy shoat, will you!'

"Nothing, except that I did not steal -" As a bear strikes, EO did the heavy arm of tho invader shoot out, the hand gripping the thin shoulder like a trap. "I warned you if you lied your pun ishment should be doubled. Has not the good Lord commanded Thou shalt not steal?' Thank your Btars that you c'A not live in those days, for you would have been stoned to death. Rather, bless your luck that you have fallen Into the hands of a compassion At? man." With a hiss the lash fell and a shuddering scream burst from the lips of the cringing one. But from then on no sound escaped them until, at last released from the Iron grip, Joe fell limply upon the frozen ground. Sternly gazing down upon his victim for a moment, Harding turned away. "It ' was the just punishment of a rogue by a just man." he mattered to his conscience. From a shapeless^ writhing heap the fallen one arose, bis small eyes glint ing with the deadly glare of a prodded serpent. "Whip me, you block devll* you usurer-you foreclbsor of widow's mortgages-you dodger of1 taxes-you; -you-" The voice rose to an inar* j tlculate scream of rage. "By the Eter- ' nal.

He bas lcd several meetings of Irish and Germans to show sym pathy for the Cermans in the war in Riirooo. than to raise a window of bli foe's house during his absence, and upon bia return kill him at his own threshold and, leaving the weapon behind him,. See. Joe was known to never carry a weapon, and the leaving of this fire arm behind, together with the forcible entry of the place, would throw the crime upon mysterious tramps or bur glars. As darkness fell he prowled forth, assured himself that Harding .had gone, then, prying open the win-, dow, entered and sat waiting by the low burning lamp until the sound ot distant wheels reached his ears. He had not loaded his weapon yet, having reasoned that should he be caught be fore the act with an unloaded gun he would be deemed guilty of a far lei offense than should it be loaded. But now'the time had come. From his pocket he drew some pow der and poured it Into the yawning muzzle, laying the bullet upon the ta ? ble. Next, he must have some paper I wadding for both powder and ball, and I a 'book lay close at hand. Without looking at its cover he toro forth.a handful of leaves and. selecting one, laid the ethers aside as he raised the first pieco, preparatory to crumpling it up and ramming lt home upon the powder. As he did so the words upon the leaf caught his eye. and slowly he read: "Thou shalt not kill." Hlsjhaud trembled sind his face grew %ray. Than in the night without ho heard the beat of hoofs beiore the barn, coupled with the load command to "whoa," and with a gasp he clutched another sheet. Before bia eyes swam the words: "Likewise.I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of ! God over one sinner that repsntetb." I Slowly the gun slipped from his hand, bis form relaxed and he sank into a chair, his head falling upon the ! table. aFive minutes biter John Harding, fresh from unharnessing his team, throwing open the door, .started back in fear and amazement Then softly ha approached the man who was now shuddering as he had beneath the whip, laid the gun aside and gazed at the mutilated Bible.

That Tom Spights, the negro who died last Sunday night In Hartwell Jail as a recuit, lt is alleged, of a whipping given him by a number of citizens of the Fair Play section, mado an affidavit before death which will be used in the case against the ?nen charged with hts death, is the infor mation contained in an article in the Hartwell Sun with reference to the reports current there last week that a mob from Oconee County had plan ned to storm tile Hartwell jail and get the negro Spriggs. The article from 'he Hartwell paper is as follows: Much excitement was manifested in "artwell Monday a't^yioon when Sheriff Johnson received a telegram "rom the sheriff at Walhalla, 8.

The negro was dead, anyway, and probably the men found out tbat there waa no use In coming. At any rate, it was pretty exciting here for several honrs and lt was good for all parties that nothing really hap. pened. Ship Mules iFretweil Company Filling Orders j for Army of France.
