RAID ON STILLS.
Officer, Capture Two IHoonnihlner, In
King’, Creek Section.
As was stated in Tuesday’s Ledger,
Deputy Sheriff Lipscomb and State
Constable Drake arrested Anderson
Brown, colored, near Cherokee Falls,
Sunday ,for violation of thejdispensary
law, and placed him in jail here.
Monday afternoon State Constables
Eubanks and Seay cbine up from
Spartanburg and with Deputy Lip
scomb and Constable Drake they soon
left for the famous King’s Creek hills,
now seemingly, famous for the ever-
presence of moonshine stills, and men
who ire ever reidv to sally out on
Sunday, or such other time ms they
deem * :e, and sell ih^ product of
theses '11s to such persons as are 1
willing to condone ,r encourage these
people in rh ir unlawful course,
which they in utter disregard of
the law of the State and the moral
welfare of the county. The officers
arrived in the haunts of these stills
and law breakers about 2 o’clock
Tuesday morning, and soon dc
ployed ihe force on the path where
the lawbreakers walk and remained
quiet till about davbrenk, when r
wtnte man and a negro of the well
known gang walked into their trap
nod were arrested These two had
abou’ five gallons of their etuff with
them which was also captured. The
white man, having all the wiles cun
niog and dash of the criminal class,
made a lunge for liberty into the
dense forest. He made his escape and
is Hgam at liberty to pursue his ne
farious avocation which debars him
salt and his wife and children, if he,
has any, and’destroys the character,
body and soul of his thoughtless cus
lomers He, no doubt, congrntulate-
himsclf. bus his punishment is only
deferred. He will, as sure as the sun
rises in the eas., s mie day wear the
felon’s stripes and if be has a respect
able friend will cause him to blush
with shame if forced to mention bis
name in public; and his pals have a
similar fate in store for them. The
officers, however, continued their
work and soon found a still, minus
cap and worm twenty-five gallons of
whiskey and about IJoOO gallons of
beer They destroyed the beer took
the whiskey and still to Blacksburg
and shipped them to Columbia, toe
liquor headquarters of the State.
Perhaps by the time this reaches
the public the liquor will be branded
“checnicall v pure” and offered by
the S^ate to its unwary citizens, and
will, from her protecting hands, do
the same damaging work to her citi
zens that it would have done had it
gone to them through the smoky fin
gers of the claw like hands of the
moonshiners w^o made it, and who
are now dodging about in the laurels
of the King’s Creek hills to avoid the
penalties of the law.
King’s Creek ^ti'lnrs, quit your dirty
work and avoid the loss of fortune,
character and liberty, which surely
awaits you if you continue it.

222 South Peoria St.,
Chicago, 1m,., Oct. 7, 1902.
Eight months ago I was so ill
that I was compelled to lie or ait
down nearly all the time. My
stomach was so weak and upset
that I could keep nothing on it
and I vomited frequently. I
could not urinate without great
pain and I coughed so much that
my throat and lungs were raw
and sore. The doctors pro
nounced it Bright’s disease and
others said it was consumption.
It mattered little to me what
they called it and I had no de
sire to live. A sister visited mo
from St. Louis and asked me if
I had ever tried Wine of Cardui.
I told her I had not and she
bought a bottle. I believe that
it saved my life. I believe many
women could save much suffer
ing if they but knew of its value.
Don't yon want freedom from
pain? Take Wine of Cardui
and make one supreme effort to
he well. You do not need to be
a weak, helpless sufferer. You
can have a woman’s health and
do a woman's work in life. Why
not secure a bottle of Wine of
Cardui from your druggist to
day?

At the luncheon in the White House
at Washington the other day in honor
of Sir Thomas Lipton interesting state
ments were made concerning the cost
of v challenging for and defending ihe
America’s cup, says the New York
World. Sir Thomas caused much sur
prise when he said that If he should
win the cup this time It would repre
sent an Investment of considerably
more than $2,000,000. If he again
failed to win It, he said, he had still
more millions to spend in the effort to
lift it.
Sir Thomas said it would cost him
a little more than $1.000t000 to com
pete for the cup this year. This was
partly due, he explained, to the fact
that he had brought over his two
challengers and had had both of thorn
in commission for months. Each yacht
has a crew of sixty men, who are the
best to be had, and the cost of keep
ing them in commission a month rep
resents a small fortune.
Sir Thomas did not say what Sham
rock III. cost him to build, but inti
mated that it was close to $500,000. To
the cost of the new yacht must be
added tiie cost of keeping the other in
commission and the expense of the
Erin, in which her owner entertains in
lavish style. The combined expenses
of his trial for the cup this year, Sir
Thomas said, would reach $1,000,000
and probably more. His two previous
attempts to get the cup cost him a
little more than that figure. In con
trast with the cost to the challenger it
was stated by one of the members of
the party that the Yteliance syndicate
had Invested but $800,000 in the de
fender and that this amount was ex
pected to cover all expenses.
Following the question of the eost
there was an informal discussion as to
the advisability of adopting seagoing
schooners in future cup races. Sir
Thomas strongly favors this Idea,
though he has said that he will abide
by the decision of the New York Yacht
club. It was a seagoing schooner
which brought the cup to America.
The British changed the style of the
contest In an effort to regain the cup,
by sending over a cutter to compete
for It. That style of yacht was new on
this side of the water, and it was met
with a sloop, from which the present
ninety footers have been evolved.
They are built for wind and not for
weather, and Reliance aiwl Shamrock
III. are believed to represent the very
highest degree of perfection In that
direction. Little change, it is said,
could be made in building yachts along
these lines for future cup races.
More than that, the yachts are so ex
pensive that only millionaires can
build them, and their value is gone
when the last race of the series is
sailed. Everything is saeclficed to
speed, and they cannot even be rebuilt
so that they can be used for cruising.
Therefore, win or lose, Sir Thomas
Lipton considers that the time is ripe
for the adoption of schooners which
can brave any sea and can cross the
ocean under their own sail, instead of
having to be towed across.
With the introduction of schooners
it is thought many wealthy people
would build boats to compete for the
honor of defending or challenging for
the cup, as they could be subsequently
used for ocean cruising. The races
would then become more ft test of sea
manship than they are now, and Sir
Thomas believes the interest in the
contests would be greatly stimulated.
The distance could be increased and
the races could he sailed in any kind
of weather, for the rougher the weath
er the keener would be the sport.
Sir Ttiamin* Say* Coney Inland I*
“tin* Greatest Place on Earth.**
Sir Thomas Lipton saw Coney Island
in all Its glory the other day, says the
New York Herald, and shot the shoots
and looped the loop and slid the belter
skelter. With him were seven friends,
all yachtsmen. In white duck and blue
flannel, and Mr. Fife, who acted ns
mentor and guide.
Sir Thomas’ party arrived at Coney
Island about 4 o'clock and began to
make a round of the various places of
amusement. First they struggled with
the surging crowd In the Bowery and
were carried along from one end of
that famous board walk to the other.
The loop the loop next attracted their
attention and Sir Thomas seemed very
much interested in the crowd that
patronized that topsy turvy arrange
ment. The proprietor induced his
bookkeeper, a rather good looking
young woman, to take the trip stand
ing up in the car for the benefit of the
English yachtsman and his friends.
The girl calmly remained on her feet
while the ear turned upside down at
the top of the loop, and Sir Thomas
clapped his hands in approval. Then
Sir Thomas and his friends got into the
car and were whirled around the con
trivance.
After the loop the loop the English
men went to the shoot the shoots and
went down the incline in the big boats.
They had a lively time sliding down
the rattan tunnel which is known as
the belter skelter, took a trip to the
moon on an air ship and rode the
camel. Sir Thomas then aided in the
opening of a new entertainment
known as “twenty thousand leagues
under the sea.” and he led the way into
the first submarine boat which was to
make the trip to the north pole.
“Coney Island is a great place,” said
Sir Thomas, catching his breath as he
started for home. “For excitement it
is almost as good ns a yacht race, while
I think it excels one for physical exer
cise.
“It’s the greatest place on earth!” he
shouted back as the two automobiles
in which his party was started for New
York.

DOGS AS SCOUTS.
Airedale* to Be Employed by the
tier man Army.
The German army is to be provided
with terriers for scouting duties, writes
the Berlin correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press. Aften many trials the
Airedale and the German pointer have
proved to be the most intelligent for
war use, but the keenness of scent of
the former places it far ahead of the
German type.
Official Instructions have been circu
lated that the terriers are to be em
ployed as the eyes and ears of an army
in the field, as they are much more re
liable than man and horse, owing to
invisibility, for certain recounoissance
work in front of an enemy.
The Airedale terrier can uneartfl a
patrol which would he hidden to man,
and for carrying information the dogs
are of considerable value. They can
be used between a patrol and the main
body, or for linking up posts, and, be
ing small, their presence is unnoticed.
A number of pure bred Airedales are
to be obtained for breeding purposes,
and it is proposed to attach to each
Jaeger battalion two dogs of abnormal
Intelligence, trained to carry from
front to rear and return. Every regi
ment will have from half a dozen to a
dozen dogs.

Confidence* of Patient and Doetor.
The Massachusetts Medical society is
moving to secure legislation for the
protection of the confidential relations
between physician and patient, says
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
The lawyer and clergyman now have
the protection of the law for their pro
fessional secrets against the questions
of examining counsel, and the argu
ment is that the consultation and con-
fidontlal conference between the doctor
and his patient, which the law does
not protect, should be held equally sa
cred In the courts. When called Into
court as witnesses the respect in which
confidences given to the two other pro
fessional men are hold falls away from
the doctor. He can be forced to reveal
that which has been given to him un
der pledge of secrecy, and this is re
volting to his sense of honor. Hence
the protest and appeal which come
from the State Medical society.
Election* In Germanr*
About 20.000,000 envelopes, Intended
to cover voting papers and Insure ad

prepared for the next elections to the

dial Tin Sin, better known as “Big
Jim,” sailed on the Gaelic for China
the other day with his white wife, his
half caste boy and $1,000,000 in Ameri
can gold and securities, says a San
Francisco special to the New York
World. These are the fruits of thirty
years’ contact with occidental civiliza
tion, and the remainder of his life will
be devoted to the introduction of Amer
ican methods in his native country. To
that end he Is negotiating with Chinese
mandarins of Canton and other cities
for a gambling monopoly.
“Big Jim” landed in the United States
a big. penniless, rawboned cooly. He
acquired a taste for gambling while
working in the mines of Nevada. Many
years ago be acquired a monopoly of
Chinese gambling in San Francisco.
To CUuMe Woly<-m Inatead of Foxen.
The Mercer County (N. J.) Fox Hunt
ing association, tired of the anise bag
and unable to procure satisfactory
foxes, has decided to attempt an Inno
vation, says a special dispatch from
Trenton to the New York Times. To
this end four cub wolves were pur
chased a few days ago and will be pre
pared for a grand run shortly. It is
thought that the wolves will make sat
isfactory substitutes for the foxes.
WORLD’S FAIR MUSIC.
Special Instrument to Be Unlit For
OrKan llecitul* at St. Loal*.
Preparations upon a large scale are
being made for the music which is to
be made a feature of the St. Louis ex
position in says Harper’s Week
ly. There an* to be indoor orchestral
concerts and organ recitals, open air
band concerts—for which there will
he no admission charge—and perform
ances of choral music on a large scale.
The idea of the committee in charge
of the musical arrangements is to aim
at appealing rather to the popular taste
than to the more limited demand for
music of the highest class, although
there will be no sacrifice of dignity in
the programmes. Considerable atten
tion will be paid to works by American
composers, which, it is hoped, will give
a decided impetus to the best creative
endeavor in native music.
Competent conductors are to be en
gaged for the orchestral concerts,
among whom, it is expected, will be
one of the celebrated “baton prima
donnas”—as they are called abroad
of Europe. For the organ recitals, in
which the most eminent American and
foreign organists will take part, a spe
cial instrument will be constructed. It
is to contain nearly 150 stops and will
be, It is said, the largest organ in the
world. The orchestral and organ con
certs are to be held in Festival hall,
the center of the main group of build
ings.
NOVEL DIVORCE CURE.
NEW ARMY MEDICAL DEVICE
Te*tN to Be Made In Tran*portlnK
Material at Fort Hlley Maneuver*.
Acting at the request of the surgeon
general of the army, the war depart
meat has made arrangements for the
testing of a device for transporting sur
gical material and medical stores in
the field at maneuvers at Fort Riley in
Septemljer, says the Kansas City Star.
The device has been constructed at
Washington barracks. The surgical
material and medical stores arc to be
placed in tin receptacles which are fit
ted to wooden cases. The cases are
constructed so that they can be at
tached to the bottom of ambulances on
each side and in the roar of the front
wheels. 7he device has already been
tested, and objections were found on
the ground that the metallic cases were
not water proof. Improvements have
lieen made, and it Is believed that the
objections have been overcome. The
asos are so constructed tlmt they may
bo removed from the ambulances and
their contents boated over a camp lire.
