Greenville, June 22.—The Mllli- ken-Lu^as cotton mill fight will prob ably be brought to a head here to morrow, at which time the attorneys for the opposing factions will be heard in argument before Judge Brawley. The first matter to be determined by Judge Brawley. arguments upon which will be first heard, will be whether or not the case can properly be heard before him. The Lucas in terest holds that the case properly belongs in . the State courts, while Milliken holds that he has the right to a hearing in the United States courts, as he lives 'In another State, and is therefore entitled to a trial in the federal courts, the constitution giving residents and non-residents the right to a hearing in tho federal courts. If Judge Brawley answers in the affirmative, and the case comes with in his jurisdiction, the attorneys for the Miliken interests will ask that the injunction of Judge Klugh, which re strained the Milliken side from buying certain stock of the mills in question, be set aside. The attorneys for Pres ident Lucas will fight this most stren- uously. Th" fight is being watched with in- te.i t by mill men. Lucas is repre- ..;t>ntel tty C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens. Geo. Johnstone, of Newberry, Augustine T. Smythe. of Charleston, and T. P. Cothran, of the local bar. The Milliken interests are represented by S. J. Simpson and R. K. Carson, of Spartanburg, and Dial & Todd, of Laurens. The arguments will likely consume the whole of the day tomor row. Judge Brawley and most of the attorneys interested arrived in the city this afternoon. CHILDREN MURDER SUSPECTS. Will McKethan, of Rowan, Evidently Killed at His House. Salisbury, N. C., June 22—Coroner E. Rose Dorsett has been spending the day in Cleveland, investigating a death that has a mysterious appear ance of murder. Tuesday, Will Mc Kethan disappeared from his home and Wednesday morning a search was instituted for him. resulting in his body being discovered in a plum thicket about 100 yards from his house. Two holes, as of bullets, were in his body and his shirt was almost torn off. There is every reason to believe that he was dragged from his home by k horse hitched to his legs. Tracks of such an animal were seen about the house and a track apparent ly that of something dragged was seen ail the way from the house to the thicket, where more horse tracks were seen. Suspicion rests upon the dead man’s children. McKethan’s wife was not at honve when her hus band disappeared. As yet there have been no arrests. Summer Terrors LANGFORD’S BODY FOUND.

RAIDING THE DARK CORNER. .Deputy Collector Aiken Back From Another Successful Trip.- Grenville, June 22.—Deputy lector E. A. Aiken, in company Dispensary Constables Cooley, anti Whitmire, returned to the Col- wit h Bell city Young Man Who Was Drowned in Saluda River. Newberry, June 22.—The body of Robert Langford, who was drowned in Saluda river yesterday, was found today about 1 o’clock just a few feet from hwere the drowning occurred. A number of people from the town besides a crowd from around Kemp- son’s ferry, had been searching for the body since 2 o’clock yesterday. A wire fence had been stretched across the river some distance below the scene of the tragedy and rakes and hooks used in searching the bed of the riv er. The body was brought home to day and will be interred at Rosemont cemetery tomorrow at 5 o’clock. The young man’s father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Langford, are almost prostrated by the loss and the news of the death of the bright young man was a shock not only to his friends and relatives, but to every one in the town. tormenting eczema. Kansas Cny, Mo., May, 1898. In 1896 I experienced at times patches on the inside of my hands that itched .iinl L imed, causing much dis comfort.. . As time went by it grew worse. I had read medicine in my early twenties (now 50 years of age) and was convinced that I was afilicted with a type of Eczema. I consulted several physicians and a number of specialists, and used several external applications, one of which w^s claim ed to be a certain specific. I confess, however, I had but little faith in external applications, yet I used them, receiving but slight temporary relief. In February I decided to try S. S. S., andin less than a‘monthI experienced a change for the better, and by May of that year all symptoms had dis appeared, and I found myself entirely cured, and have had no return of the disease since. - T . „ w. P. Brush, Station A, Kansas City, Mo. yesterday .and the officers report fahe sueressfut capture of a very large blockade distillery located in a wood near Glassy postoffice. The whole outfit, consisting of several ferment ers. a wooden still and 800 gallons of beer, were destroyed. Once or twice each week the officers, headed by Deputy Collector Aiken, make raids in the Dark Corner, and their search es nine times out of ten are crowned with success. * Although the moonshiner is watch ed. hunted and in imminent danger of arrest and having his property de stroyed. he always returns to his old tricks as soon as the officers are out of sight, with idiotic obstinacy, obey ing. as one might suppose, some mys terious law of attraction. No better officer is to be found to cope with the Dark Corner situation than Gus Aiken. His powers of pen etration are great and he thoroughly understands his business, its resourc es. its labyrinths and its artifices. Long practice has given him imper- turable coolness, a great confidence in himself, diplomacy and shrewdness- There is not a moonshiner who does not know him and they are compelled to respect him despite the fact that lie destroys their property and arrests those of their number who are not very alert.

To the skin disease snflerer, summer time brings no joy, but is a season of unrest, sleep less nights and incessant pain, resulting in shattered nerves, physical exhaustion and gen eral derangement of all the vital forces. Scratching is a pleasant recreation to one tor mented and almost distracted by an aggravating itching skin eruption. Some hud tempor ary relief in bathing and the application of lotions and salves. A few hours respite is gained by such methods, but nothing applied externally can THE ITCHINfrAS TERRIBLE. Escondido, San Co., Cal., Oct. 1900. Dear Sirs—My broke out with • rash or eruption.

Only persistent tid faithful constitutional treatment can do this. The acid poison in the blood, which is the rtl cause of the eruption, must be attacked, and when the blood has been cleared of all accumuvted impu rities and restored to a healthy condition, then, and only then, will a thorough ad lasting cure be eflected, and for the accomplishment of all this, no remedy equals S. So. which contains all requirements for cleansing and building up the acid blood, and inv^orating and toning up the system. S. S. S. completely and permanently eradicates ever* vestige of poison, thus effectually preventing a fresh outbreak of tiie disease. Cases^ that have resisted ordinary treatment for years, yield to the purifying^ooling effects of S. S. S. upon the blood, and when rich, pure blood is again circulating throgh the system, the itching and stinging cease, the eruption disappears, and the red, rougi skin becomes soft and smooth again. Skin diseases appear in various forms—somtimes in pustules or blisters, sores, rashes, or red, disfigiring bumps and pimples—but all are caused by a bad~-ondi- tion of the blood, and for which S. S. S. is a safe and effectual cure. No bad effects can come from its use, because it contains no Arsenic, Potash or other harnful drugs, but is guaranteed a strictly vegetable remedy.
