X was afflicted with blood poison, and
the best doctors did me no rood, though
X took their treatment faithfully. In
fact I seemed to set worse all the while.
I took almost every so-called blood rem
edy, but they did not seem to reach the
disease, and had no effect whatever. I
was disheartened, for it seemed that 1
would never be cured. At the advice o?
a friend X then took 8. 8. 8. and began tc
improve. I continued the medicine, and
it cured me completely.
Hamlet, N. O. W. B. NEWMAN.
So highly contagious is this disease
that many a life has been ruined by a
friendly hand shake or from using the
toilet articles of one affected with the
poison. To cure this hideous and hate
ful disease a constitutional remedy is re
quired. S. S. S. goes down to the very
root of the trouble and forces out every
particle of the virus from the .blood and
cures the disease permanently. S. S. S.
is purely vegetable and drives out the
trouble, rootand
branch, and no
signs of it are
ever seen again.
^^B Those who have
been cured by
PURELY VEGETABLE. S. S. S. can feel
assured that
none of the poison is left in the blood to
transmit to innocent offspring. The en
tire body is built up and the blood made
pure, rich and healthy by this great rem
edy. Book with instructions for home

HIS SKULL CRACKED.
A Young Man Geu Into a Bad Diffi
culty.
Greenville, Aug. 14.—Verner John
son a well-known plumber, was
rlously if not fatally injury!
at 10 o'clock In J. D. Destafflno s pool
•oom in Main street, by being struck
TEe bead with a billard cue. La c
enorts from the wounded man this
afternoon are that he is reB | l " g fair ‘
v well, although he is delirious at
Mmes. The physicians believe he
ms a chance of recovery.
There is some mystery surround
ing the affair, which Chief Becknell
has been trying to clear up.
Ward Goodlett and Johnson, to
gether with others, were Paying pool.
It seems that Goodlett and Johnson
passed some words, which ^d to *
quarrel followed by blows with the
cues which the men were , play !“®
with Al Hubble attempted to stop
ihe men from fighting and it is said
.lohnson attempted to strike him,
whereupon Hubble picked up another
cue and dealt the blow which ren
dered Johnson unconscious and
which may result in his death.
Hubble was in charge of the pool
room at the time of the accident, and
it seems from the story of those pres
ent that he was trying to act the par
of peacemaker. Hubble disapneared
soon after the occurrence, but was
captured near midnight in a house in
Court street. He had $97 on his per
son when arrested, which money, it is
said, he secured from Belle Green,
and it is supposed he was preparing
to leave the city. _ i. ~
Ward Goodlett and John Burbage
were arrested immediately after the
arrival of the police, but the latter
was released about midnight.
Goodlett and Hubbell were confined
in cells at the station house last night
but were removed to the county jail
this morning, where they will remain
until the result of the injury received
by Johnson is determined.
The mysterious part of the occur
rence is the fact that the police de
partment was not informed of the
fight for more than an hour. The
young men in the room at the time
badly injured, and it was some time
before a physician was summoned.
When the officers arrived the lights
were out, and there was some diffi
culty experienced in gaining admis
sion into the pool room. The wound
ed man vras struck while standing in
the pool room, but in his semi-con
scious condition he had made his
way through the pool room toward the
street into Parkins’ barber shop.
Lying in a pool of blood with sev
eral standing over him trying to
stanch the flow of blood from the
wound in his forehead, was the condl
tion in which he was found, with the
lights extinguished.
The skull was fractured above the
right eye, and a difficult operation
was performed last night after the
wounded man -was removed to his
home in Atwood street.
Johnson is a well-known plumber
and has many friends here. He is a
member of the Greenville Light In
fantry, and had reached the city from
Columbia only about an hour before
*he occurrence took place.
CANNOT FIND AN ASYLUM.
Man in Spartanburg and One in Co
lumbia Kept Out of the Hospital.
Spartaanburg, Aug. 16.—By a pecu
liar coincidence, it appears that Spar
tanburg and Columbia have each a
lunatic that they would gladly get off
their hands. In the county jail here
is John Leonard, the white man
picked up a week ago by the police,
and who has been wandering about
in North Carolina and has been denied
entrance to the State asylum. There
is no doubt but that he is insane and
badly so. He has a peculiar hobby of
“conjuring” people and fixing up “con
juring” tricks.
In Columbia the police have in de
tention a young white man named
Merritt. He has been in the Capital
City several weeks, and was arrested
for drunkenness. His conduct was of
such a nature that the officers thought
him crazy. His father, a farmer, who
lives at Landrum, in this county, and
Probate Judge Gentry issue a writ of
lunacy; but when young Merritt was
examined by Columbia physicians
he was pronounced sane. This left
him on the hands of the police. Today
his father applied to Probate Judge
Gentry again for a writ, as the old
gentleman feels sure his boy ig de
ranged; but the probate judge did
not Issue the second order, declaring
young Merritt sound in mind, as the
doctors had pfonounced him sane. So
there it is. Columbia takes care of
one man who is said to be mentally
unbalanced, and Spartanburg county
is keeping a crazy man in jail.
Nat Crump Guilty.
l^exlngton. N. C., Aug. 16.—Nat
Crump was this evening found guilty
of secret assault. He attempted to
kill H. Clay Grubb from ambush the
following Monday after the latter was
acquitted of the murder of his brother-
in-law, O. L. Da.is. Grubb was se
rlously wounded, but drove on to
Salisbury. He was struck severa
times by buckshot. A sensatlona
feature of the trial was the declara
tion by Crump that the confession that
he made when captured, implicating
others, was forced from him by
threats of lynching at Salisbury and
was not true.
A WONDERFUL MINISTER.
The Remarkable Record of Rev. A. A.
Jamea, of Jonesville.
Jonesville, Aug. 15.—The Rev. A. A.
James, a Presbyterian minister who
once lived near Jonesville, but now
lives at Pacolet, was born in York
county eighty-one years ago, graduat
ed at Davidson College, N. C., in the
year 1848, then attended and gradu
ated from the Presbyterian Seminary
in Columbia, preached his first ser
mon at Fair Forest church the third
Sunday in July, 1851, taking for his
text Romans, 5th and 10th, and he has
been the only pastor of this Fair For
est church ever since. H« served as
chaplain of the 18th S. C. volunteers
throughout the late* war. He came
home on a few occasions and admin
istered the sacrament, and attended
other pastoral duties during the war.
In the year 1859 Grindall church was
built four or five miles from Jones
ville, and Mr. Janies has been the
only’pastor this church has ever had.
A Presbyterian church was built at
Pacolet some twelve or fifteen years
since anvl one was built Jonesville
ten or twe’ve years since, and these
two churches have lioth been served
by the Rev. Mr. James during the
whole of their existence. Mr. James
has married 575 couples and has bur
ied equally - as many dead: has
preached more than six thousand ser
mons; has baptized and received a
great many into the church, and has
preached to the Confederate soldiers
in camp in nearly all the Southern
States. He has attended most of the
Presbvterians synods and general as
semblies of his church. He preaches
ten times each month and drives to
all his appointments, which is about
twenty miles, every Sunday. Mr.
James attends most of the Confed
erate veterans’ reunions and enjoys
them very much. He preaches annual
sermons to some of the veterans
camps and makes speeches on Memo
rial days and other occasions, and al
though he has passed his 81st mile
post he is still active and vigorous
and well preserved, and always
preaches a good sermon.

A Mill Operative Meeta Death Near
Greenville.
Greenville, Aug. 15.—Four tramp
mill operatives while sleeping on the
Southern Railway track near Grove
Station, were run into by the south
bound passenger train at 9.56 o’clock
last night, and as a result of which
C. Williams is dead, Paul Fowler is
suffering with a broken leg and o*her
injuries, and Henry Holley has an
injured arm and leg. Edward Ellis
escaped without Injury almost mirac
ulously.
It seems fro mthe story of Ellis
that the four men are mill operatives
and were on their way to Piedmont
hunting work in the mills.
They were fagged ou* from having
walked so much yesterday, and sat
down on the railway track to rest.
It seems they all fell asleep and be
fore they knew it the train was upon
them.
The man killed and the two in
jured were nearest the approaching
train and this possibly explains how
Ellis escaped. The accident is pecu
liarly unfortunate.
Magistrate Mitche/11, of Piedmont,
telephoned for Coroner Wooten this
morning, and he left the city on the
early morning train for Grove Station,
where he will hold an inquest.
It Is thought the injured men. Fow
ler and Holley, will recover, although
their injuries.are serious.
The men were from Charlotte, N
C„ and the body of Williams was
shipped there this afternoon.
