Constables Shot Each Other Over a Personal Row. Columbia, Nov. 9.—News was re ceived here tonight of a double kill ing at Eastover, in the lower part of the county, the participants being Dispensary Constables R. L. Irby and S. A, Phillips. Acording to the report received here, the two men quarrelled over an overcoat and both produced pistols, firing together. Phillips was instantly killed and Irby lived for about an hour. Both were under the influence of whiskey. Coroner Green was notified. He directed that the bodies be taken in charge by Magistrate Wertz, who lives in the neighborhood. The men had gone down to Eastover on their regular round of inspection of the dis pensaries, and their quarrel was a personal one in which the dispensary played no part. The tragic part of the whole matter is that S. A. Phil lips came from Eastover and was killed in a few rods of the home w'here he was born and raised, and where he has a wife and two child ren. He had been on the force about eighteen months, and was appointed by the governor after being highly recommended by the leading citizens of Richland connty. Irby was from Laurens county and was a relative of the late Senator. He had been on the force about seven years. A NEWSY LEYIER FROM WILKINSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE.

Clifton, Nov. 7.—Mrs. Dora Kirby died on the 31st ult. of jaundice, leav ing a bereaved husband and three small children to mourn their loss. She was buried in the Clifton ceme tery cu the 2nd inst. Rev. J. W. Elkin, of the Methodist church, con ducted the funeral exercises. After a remarkably long spell of dry weather, a moderate rain began Wed nesday night and continued through- out Thursday and Friday, greatly In creasing the current of Pacolet river, which had become so low that work in the mills was greatly hinde'-< d. The chaingang has been at work around Clifton for nearly a month’s time, making, as some say, a “starch ed and ironed” job of the road lead ing towards Glendale. One of the members of the gang, we learn, has been very badly hurt by getting his leg almost severed by a scoop. Rev. T. H. Harrison went down ter Gilead church near J mesvllle to at tend the union meeting. He reports the best meeting that he has attended in quite a while. He also reports that he went home with Ed. Mabry from the church for entertainment, and at night a possum hunt was pro posed, and agreed upon. A crowd consisting of himself. Revs. J. D. Bailey and C. F. Felmet and Tom Hyatt and Ed. Mabry all started out; he carrying the light and Ed. the ax. In less time than an hour after start ing they caught a flue possum. Being encouraged at this sdccess, he and Ed pushed on after the dogs, with the' light, leaving the others to grope a portion of their way in darkness, and consequently Tom Hyatt fell into a gulley and one of the others fell in the creek. They caught three very line possums that night, one of which Rev. H. brought home with him alive. Clifton has adopted the rule of twice a month pay day—the 10th and 25th of each month. Recently the writer was queried" with the question “How many of the - parents of Confederate soldiers <.an we find living at the present day?*’" After a thorough canvass in thought, of the area over which our acquain tance extended, we can “think up” six—four mothers and two fathers. These mothers are Mrs. A. J. Neal, of Blackstock; Mrs. Annie Chalk, of Ravenna; Mrs. Caroline Seay, of Clit- ton, and Mrs. Felmet, of Converse. The fathers are Mess. Jtvmes Wood,, of Pacolet and Jesse J. Mabry, of As- bury. These persons, we have reason ° believe still survive, and Airs. Neal and Mr. Wood have passed the nine tieth year of their lives. Rev. T. H.

No otie should confound Hyomei with the'patent medicines that are ad vertised to cure catarrh. It is as far superior to them all as the diamond more valuable than cheap glass. Their composition is secret, but Hyo- mel gives its formula to all reputable physicians and Is prescribed by them generally. Its base Is valuable eucalyptus oil, famous for its antiseptic qualities. This Is combined with aromatic and healing gums and balsams, makimfT a pure liquid which, when used in the- Hyomei pocket inhaler, fills the air you breathe with germ-killing, dis ease destroying and healing powers- that restore health to every part of the nose, throat and lungs. The only way to cure catarrh and all other diseases of the respiratory organs is to breathe Hyomei. This treatment has been so suc cessful in curing 99 per cent, of all who have used it, that Hyomei Is now- sold by Gaffney Drug Co. under ant absolute guarantee to refund the money in ease it does not benefit. <>u run no risk whatever in buying Hyomei.
