Cow pens, March 22.—Quite a sen sation was caused here today by the otidden death of Jeff Dawkins, a col ored man working on the farm of Mr. John Smith, about one mile and a half outside the town. The deceased was forty-two years of age and in ap parent good health only a few min utes before his death. He was laugh ing and talking with some acquaint ances when he suddenly keeled over and began gasping for breath. A messenger was sent posthaste for a physician. Dr. J. C. Thorn was se cured but before he reached the scene the negro was dead. As before stated, he was in apparent good health and as there was not the least indication of foul play, Dr. Thorn was of the opinion that his death was due to heart trouble, of which he had been complaining occa sionally for some time.

Afraid of Strong Medicines.

When the rich, red Avine of life is coursing through the \ T eins it im parts vigor and strength to the body and healthy action to all parts of the system. A healthy family is a Avealthy family; it may be poor in Avorldly goods, but possessed of a priceless jeAvel that all the riches of earth cannot buy. A healthy family may not carry in their veins the blood of titled nobles or dis tinguished ancestors, but vigorous health is [ahvays an evidence of the best and purest blood, for the vital fluid contains all material necessary for the making of bone and muscle and the groAvth and development of the body, and upon its purity rests our chances for good health. When the body is fed upon weak, sickly blood the system languishes, growth is stunted, disease enters without hindrance, and the simplest maladies are apt to develop into serious sick ness. In so many ways does the blood become contaminated that the fewest number succeed in keeping this life-giving, health-sustaining fluid in a pure and natural state. We inherit the disease-tainted blood of ancestors, parents transmit to their children such impoverished and weak blood that their lives are a continuous battle againl disease, and from earliest infancy are harassed by sores and the most dreadful skin eruptions, and heirs to some Some ten year, ago I “wS t'hfmoM old family disease.

AVill AVhite and “Babe” Kirby, two obstreperons negroes who live at Limestone, were before the mayor Tuesday morning on a charge of dis orderly conduct at the home of the AVhite negro. They were drunk Monday night and were so loud and biJisterous in their behavior that Al derman Brown had to send for the police to quiet them. They were fine* $10 each, or twenty days on the streets; and they are out just twenty dollars—a whole month’s work—for not having sense enough to behave themselves, and for their disregard of the city’s laws and the rights of other people Three small colored sports from Spartanburg were fined $2.50 or five days, for beating a train. As they did not have sufficient cash to pay their fare on the railroad, they were unable to raise the amount necessary to secure their release; so they w T ere put to work on the streets—some thing, no doubt, they are wholly un accustomed to, atid very much against their inclinations. “Babe” Lcacb, a grown-up colored sport of this city, who is old enough to know better, and whose propensity for getting into trouble is only equall ed by his cleverness in getting out of it, was before his honor on the same charge—“whipping” a train. He con tributed $2.50 to the city treasury, for probably a fifty-cent ride. Jim Miller’s name was on the crimi- \ nal docket yesterday morning with the charge of “transporting” written opposite it. But Jim, evidently be lieving in the power of money to j “talk.” had put up a ten-dollar note to “speak” for him. and he wisely I kept his own presence elsewhere. In the matter of the AA r hite and Kirby negroes: It has long been a j common practice among some of the negroes at Limestone to get drunk and disturb the white people in the neighborhood by their boisterous con duct and drunken orgies, having no fear of interference by the police. It would be a good thing for that end of town if an officer would go down occasionally, say two or three times a week, and thus make the disturbing element feel that they were inside the incorporate limits of the town, and that they were being watched. It ; would have a good effect on all classes. FOR SALE. FOR SALE—Seed sweet potatoes. Address Louis Humphries, Gaffney, S. C. Mch. 24, 28, pd. FOR SALE—"Old North State" Let ter files t at 30c each.
