After an unusually wet week November in this section, the for sun SUSPICIOUS ACTIONS LEADS TO A TRAGEDY. Dock Jackson is Mistaken lor Tom Ryan, the Slayer of Mr. Falls, and Killed by Mr. W. Stokes Shelor. Last Saturday night policeman Williams, of Gastonia, N. C., accom- pained by Mr. W. Stores Shelor, of the same city, arrived in Gaffney on the midnight South bound train, in search of a negro named Fon Rhyne, who had fatally stabbed Mr. T. G. Falls, a prominent citizen of Pleas ant Ridge, near Gastonia. As police man Williams and Mr. Shelor alighted from the train Mr. Shelor saw a negro man start to get on the train which he took to be Rhyne. He told him to halt, when the negro started to run. Mr. Shelor again told him to stop and fired his pistol off in the ground to induce him to do so, but the negro continued to run, when Mr. Shelor fired the second time and hit thelieeing man in the back, inflecting what proved to a fatal wound. Mr. Shelor went to the wounded man and found that instead of Rhyne he hud shot Dock Jackson, who spends his time in both this city and Spar tanburg. Deputy Sheriff Ross soon arrived on the ground and found Mr. Shelor doing all lie could for the unfortunate man. Mr. She'or said he hud done the shooting and asked some one to go for a doctor. He at once put him self in the hands of Deputy Ross and told him he would not attempt to escape. Deputy Ross placed him in jail to await the result of the unfortu nate man's wounds. Mr. Shelor regreted the affair more than any one else and took his imprisonment philosolophically. He was visited Sunday by a large number of the most prominent people of Gastonia who are his devoted friends and were ready to render him any assistance possible. He is repre sented as being a most excellent young man. Dock Jackson died of his wounds Tuesday morning about 2 o’clock after being most carefully treated by Dr. S. B. Crawley from the time he was wounded until he died. Coroner McCraw was summoned early Tuesday and came to the city at once and empaneled a jury of in quest composed of nine white men and four colored men. There was little evidence brought out beyond what is stated in the first part of this article. Chief Camp who was on the ground immediately i after the shooting being one of the principle witnesses. After the evidence was in the mother of the unfortunate man went before the jury and asked them not to prosecute Mr. Shelor, saying that it was an unfortunate mistake for which she had forgiven him, and that she felt sure that her dead boy would make the same request if he could. The jury then retired and after mature deliberation returned the following verdict: “We the jury at this inquest find that Dock Jackson came to his death from a gun shot wound in the hands of one W. S. Shelor through mistake, said shooting being justifiable: A. J. McCraw, Coroner; J. R. Beason, Foreman; A. W. Lotspeich, C. T. Brice, A. J. Berry, T. B. Cole, J. T. Adkins, T. T. Green, John Smith, A. W. Chandler, Moso Goudelock. James Bhilips, Johnson Oglesby and W. H. Berry.’’ This is a very unfortunate case, andjone which our whole people regret, having sympathy alike for the dead and the living. Jackson’s body was placed in a fine coffin, and accompanied by his mother, was taken to Spartanburg for burial. . Butler and Osborne, who had been employed to represent Mr. Shelor, appeared in his behalf at the inquest. Shallots. rose beautifully Saturday morning. Every thing took on a cheerful look and such work as could be done was taken bold of with energy. City drays were unusually active, country wagons rolled into the city rapidly, loaded with country produce and the yeomamy of Cherokee. Beople came from every direction and not with downcast looks of disappointment but with the air of those who are concious of having performed their part well. The crowd was a representative one with the usual stir and hustle and “on business bent’’ appearance of our Cherokee people. Business in all depaitments was active and was pushed by our business men in the vigorous and straightforward manner for which they are famous. .«»» - Cellery. We are indebted to Rev. I. J.

If the people generally knew the true cause of Rheumatism, there would he no such thing as lini ments and lotions for this painful and disabling disease. The fact is, Rheumatism is a disordered state of the blood—it can be reached, therefore, only through the blood. But all blood remedies can not cure Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate disease, one which requires a real blood remedy—somet h ing more than a mere tonic. Swift’s Specific is the only real blood remedy, and it, promptly goes to the very bottom of even the most obstinate case. A few years ago I was taken with in- flnmmatory Rheumatism .which,though mild at first, became gradually sn in tense that I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried several prominent physi cians and took their treatment faith fully, but was unable to get the slightest relief. In fact, my condition seemed to grow worse, the pains spread over my entire body, and from November to March I suffered agony. I tried many patent medicines, but none relieved me. Upon the advice of a friend I decided to try S. S. S. Before allowing me to take it. however, my guardian, who was a chemist, analyzed the remedy, and pro nounced it free of potash or mercury. I felt so inuch better after taking two bottles, toat I continued the remedy ami in two months I was cured com pletely. The cure was permanent, for I have never since had a touch of Rheumatism, though many times j exposed to damp and cold weather. Eleanor M. Tippell, 3711 Bowelton Avenue, Philadelphia. Those who have had experience with Rheumatism know that it becomes more severe each vear. and like all other blood diseases, the doctors are totally unable to cure it. In fact, the only remedies which they pre scribe are potash and mercury, and though temporary £ ? joints and only in tensity the disease. S. 8. S. never disappoints, for it is made to cure these deep-rooted diseases which are bevond the reach of all other remedies. It cures permanently Rheumatism, Catarrh, Cancer,Scrofula.Eczema, and all other blood diseases.
