Jim Jeter Shoots and Kills Santa Anna Tate. WOUNDS TATE’S WIFE. The Dimrulty Orew Out of a DUpute Over 8oiue Furniture-Jeter Cornell to Town and Surrender* to the Sheriff and I* now In Jail—Coroner's Verdict. As the result of a shooting scrape on Mr. Live Littlejohn's place near Thickety Wednesday night, Santa Anna Tate, a negro naan, lies dead with a bullet through his brain, and his wife has a painful wound in the arm from the same pistol which kill ed her husband. The testimony of the witnesses at the coroner’s inquest was conflicting but the particulars, as near as could be learned, were about as follows: It seems that a negro by the name of Jim Jeter and his wife lived in the same house with Tate and his family. Some time ago, so the evi dence was, Jeter bought a bedstead and some other furniture which he “brought to and placed in Tate’s house. Some time afterward he (Jeter) rented a house for himself with the intention of moving into it, but when he went for his furniture Tate refused to give it up and it seems that a quarrel then ensued be tween the wives of the two men, which Anally ended in much scratch ing and some wool gathering. It was then taken up by the men and Tate grabbed an axe with which he threatened to kill Jeter should be come into the door, whereupon Je- ter drew his pistol and fired. Tate was in a stooping position when the bullet entered his head (bis wife said at the inquest that he was laughing) as it struck near the top and came out just above the ear on the other side of the bead. It is not known whether the shot that hit Tate’s wife was intentionally aimed at her or whether it was a stray one intended for her husband. The woman was wounded just under the shoulder, the ball ranging down her arm towards the elbow, and while the wound is no doubt painful, it is not considered a serious one. Jeter was unhurt. It seems that Tate was un armed, save for the axe, as a bureau drawer in his room was unlocked after the fight and his pistol was found in it. Jeter came to Gaffney yesterday morning, surrendered him self to Sheriff Thomas and was locked up. The verdict of the coroner’s jury was that Jim Jeter feloniously did kill Santa Anna Tate. Jeter is still in jail. A Fortunate Man. Mr. Wylie S. Hill, a prosperous Cherokee planter was in the city yesterday. While attending to some business in the postoffice he laid his pucketbook, containing $18 and some valuable papers, on the shelf used by the public at the money order win- ilcw and walked off, leaving it there lie had gone to several places before he discovered his loss and then did not remember where ho had left it. In the meantime some one picked up the pocketbook and began to in- quir« about the owner. No one knew to whom it belonged. While Mr. Hill was in the warehouse of J. C. Lipscomb & Bro., looking for the lost treasure Tom Clarkson Happened to come in and inpuired what he was looking for. When told the object of Mr Hill’s search he informed him that someone hud found a pocket- book at the postofflue. He went in search and was rewarded by the re covery of his pocketbook and money. Uaffuey's Flr*t Hale. The first hale of new cotton bought in Gaffney this season was brought in Wednesday by Joe W. Humphries, a tenant of 8. Q. Sarratt’s place near the city. It brought 0 cents and was bought by Walter Humphries for J. A. Carroll. This is rather early for cotton in this section, though a few bales have already been sold in some of the ad joining counties. It is opening rap idly though, now, and picking is becoming general throughout the county, and ere many days It will be gin to roll in at a lively rate. Marriaice of a Colored Couple. Sunday night at the First Meth odist church, colored, Walter Petty and Lillie Kennedy, both of this city were united in the holy bonds of wed lock by Rev. R. C. Campbell, In the presence of a large number of friends who had assembled to witness the ceremony. The bride is a young woman who stands high in colored society, and the groom is a barber of several years experience. They have many friends here, both colored and white, who wish them much joy and happiness in their new life. Uaeutlon Answered. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers' and grandmothers’ never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Bil iousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom beard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration. Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fer mentation of undigested food, regu late the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the : /stem, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, In liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. For sale by 8. B. Crawley & Co. GAFFNEY TO MARION.

The marvelous scenery of the wonderful mountains of western North Carolina will more than repay one for the outlay. The glorious verdure of the giant moun tains is beginning to change to the beautiful colors of autumn, the moon will be at its full, and those who have never sped on the gleaming rails, rushing around great curves, gliding down steep grades, beside deep precipices, under beetling cliffs, across the roaring streams, while the silvery orb of the Heavens, shines placidly o’er grandly illuminating the majestic work of nature, it mat ters not how vivid his imagination, cannot conjure up the faintest con ception of the grandest sight ever granted mortal eyes. Another pleas ing feature of the excursion will be the chance afforded to visit Rutber- fordton, where a Street Fair and Carnival will he in progress, the train will stop both going and re turning. so that those who 4^sire to see the Fair and all its attendant at tractions, including the midway and a grand exhibit of the products of the South, may do so. Come one, come all, rest for a day from the weary routine of business, enjoy yourself, come back refreshed, and with some thing pleasant to think and talk of in the long evenings. There will be a brass band along to furnish music, good order will be maintained, and the pleasure of every one assured. The fare, one dollar. Wood’s Seeds.

SCROFULA Disease ot Heredity. In many respects Scrofula and Consumption are alike ; they develop from the same gen- eral causes, both are hereditary and dependent upon an impure and im- povished blood supply. In consumption the disease fastens itself upon the lungs ; in Scrofula the glands of the neck and throat swell and suppurate, causing ugly running sores; the eyes are inflamed and weak ; there is nn almost continual discharge from the ears, the limbs swell, hones ache, and white swelling is frequently a result, causing the diseased hones to work out through the skin, producing indescribable pain and suffering. Cutting away a sore or diseased gland does no K 00 ^ ! the blood is poisoned. The old scrofulous taint which has probably come down through several generations has polluted every drop of blood. Scrofula requires vigorous, persistent treatment. The blood must be brought back to a healthy condition before the terrible disease can l>e stopped in its work of destruction. Mercury, potash and other poisonous minerals usually given in such cases do more harm than good ; they ruin the digestion and leave the system in a worse condition than before. S. S. S. is the only medicine that can reach deep-seated blood troubles like Scrofula. It goes down to the very roots of tlie disease and forces every vestige of poison out of the blood. S S. S. is the only purely vegetable blood purifier known. The roots and herbs from which it is made contain wonderful blood purifying properties, which no poison, however powerful, can __ _ r, __ long resist. S. S. S. stimulates and purifies the blood, increases the tf ^ MmUlfc- Km re MS MM err - appetite, aids the digestion and restores health and strength to the . enfeebled body. If vou have reason to think vou have Scrofula, or vour child has inherited any bloo<l taint, don’t wait for it to develop, hut begin at once the use of S. S. S. It is a fine tonic and the best blood purifier and blood builder known, as It contains no poisonous minerals. S. S. S. is pre-eminently a remedy for children. r When m ■teat We a Ptodi which are beyond the power of other so-called blood remedies. S. X. Brooks, Monticello, Ga.
