A Negro’s Sudden Death.
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. H. M.

Afraid of Strong Medicines.
Many people suffer for years from
rheumatic pains, and prefer to do so
rather than take the strong medicines
usually, given for rheumatism, not
knowing that quick relief from pain
may be had simply by applying Cham
berlain’s Pain aim and without taking
any medicine internally. For sale by

six o’clock Mrs. Darwin entertained
her lady friends, assisted by Misses
Frances Fleetwood, Inez, Sarratt and
Annie Johnson. The color scheme was
purple and white.
The house was daintily decorated in
these colors, while modest violets lent
their sweetness to ttio scene. Mrs.
Darwin, in her usual charming way,
entertained her guests in a social
chat party which was enjoyed by all.
A two-course luncheon was served.
Miss Pearl Crawley presided over
the punch bowl. The invited guests
were, Mesdames W. S. Sparks, Paul

The belt has been a conspicuous
item of the costume during the last
few seasons, and it is to be more im
portant this season. Some of last
year’s successes reappear with, per
haps a slight change.
The plain crush belts of soft leath
er in all colors, the silk crush belt
and girdles are all here again with
their round or square buckles. Meth
ods of holding the back of the belt in
broad girdle shape are many and to
these devices a majority of the belts
owe their originality. Silk girdles
shirred or plaited into the broad fan
shaped backs and finished by fancy
buckles in front, are in every shop,
sometimes inexpensively constructed
from plain silk, with plain metal
buckles, sometimes made of exquisite
fimired ribbons or silk.

A Health^
Family
Is tlie one that can rightfully boast of pure blood. 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

If you do not come of a strong and vigorous family and your blood shows evidence of im
purity, nothing will so quickly bring it back to a healthy condition as S. S. S., the most
widely known and popular blood remedy on the market. It purifies and builds up weak,
sluggish blood and stimulates the circulation, and thus
rids the system of impurities. S. S. S. contains tonic as
well as blood purifying properties, and builds up the
general health, improves the appetite and digestion, and
tones up the nerves Avhile ridding the blood of all poisons
and humors. Nothing reaches old chronic blood troubles
like S. S. S., and being a strictly vegetable remedy can be
taken by old and young without any bad after effects or injury to the system. As a blood
purifier and tonic at this season S. S. S. has no superior. It puts the blood in good order,
removes all poisonous accumulations, invigorates all parts of the system and prevents that
debilitated, tired feeling common to this time of year. Keeping the blood healthy is the
secret of all healthy families. Write us if in need of medical advice, Avhich our physicians

Disorderlies and Train Beaters Before
the City Tribunal.
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.
