Klaeksburtf, Sept. <!.—Eiastus Spur- lin. a white man who lived near Gro \er. X. ('., was found dead on the main line of the Southern Railway Ibis inornintt, near the clay shed just cast of Orov r. X'. ('., hut in South Carolina. It appears that he had been with a companion to a blockade still to the rich! of Kina's Mountain, X T . C. On bis return he met some negroes, who tried to y,ei the liquor away from him. Upon his refusing to let them have any <>f tile liquor they assaulted him with brickbats, which resulted in his death. To cover up their act they ihen niaeed ine nody upon the track'. It was run train X ? o. h) and badly over by m muled. The coroner's jnr, found that Spur- lin had come to his death at tho hands I of two negroes, John Allison and Hill question of Ibis irrepressible and un- forttetahie iiis]> ns try in the lejtisla-| tnre, with the senate now claimed by each side and the house conceded to the anti-dispensarv forces. The dis pensary faction seems confident that the Slate dispensary will not be abolished, hut that the purification hill will he passed, that the house will accept this when ii finds it will not Ve able to pass a local option measure. Mr. Ans.d starts out with a splen did lead over Mr. Manning for gov ernor in the second race, hut Mr. Ansel himself, .jndsin.t; from letters he lias written nere, realizes that he has no walk-over If his friends pull him through they will have to work. On the other hand, the Manning forces are more vigilant than they were in the first primary. Manning’s friends speak frankly of expecting to swing large blocks of the floating vote in the mill districts, but it is most strenuously denied by them that anj money is being used improperly. “! am in touch with Mr. Manning's headquarters here in the city of Co lumbia,” said Senator-elect Francis H. Weston today, “and I am in a po sition to specifically deny that the Manning side is using money. All this cry about corrupting the ballot in behalf of Manning is simply a cun ning trick of the other side.” Congressman Lever, credited with being Mr. Manrhig’s campaign man ager, has maintained headquarters up to today at Wright’s hotel, but was not to be found there today. His secretary said that Mr. Lever had gone home on account of the ac cident to his father. The secretary denied that Mr Lever was managing Mr. Manning’s campaign that he had only written about forty letters as a personal friend of Mr. Manning to friends in various parts of the State. H is generally conceded that Mr. Lyon will be the next attorney gen eral of th*> State. The dispensary people are not publicly admitting this yet, but he who runs may read that they no longer have any heart in the fight. Many dispensary lead ers concede the election of Mr. Lyon. That the dispensary folks had weak ened in that contest was evident by the suggestion made to Mr. Ragsdale when the State committee met here the week of the first primary that he withdraw in favor of Mr. Yon- mans. Mr. Ragsdale’s friends thought this would he a surer means of de feating Mr Lyon. They had not lost faith in Mr. Ragsdale, but they ^eemetl to think that a wave of sen timent on account of Mr. Youman's physical condition might sweep that fine old man into office. Mr. Rags dale took the position that this could not be done under the rules. Other members of the committee, including Chairman Jones, said there was noth ing in the rules td hinder Mr. Rags dale withdrawing in Mr Youman’s favor. The second race between Chair man Wharton for re election as rail road commissioner and Mr. Sulivan. of Anderson, is also full of interesl, and the issues here, real or imag- ned, are quite as important as those in the gubernatorial race or the con test for the attorney generalship. Air. Wharton is personally popular, being suave and cordial, a great hin<i«haker and all that s-ort of L.i-tg. aim lie is a gooq c,i i ..le.-, and also a tireless worker: hut from what can he observed in Columbia it looks as if he is beaten. There is a feeling over the State that the rail roads have been having too much in ] fluence over the commission, and there are facts and circumstances ob servable in Columbia to give color to the charge that the fre<> pass abuse has steadily grown. Already the senate has gott~- the name of b'dng controlled by the railroads. It is not unlikely that. Mr. Wharton is stiff< , rin for the conduct of some of his predecessors to sonic extent Jones, both of whom tire said to live within a mile and a half of Grover. They were arrested and are now in jail at Gaffney. The main evidence was the testimo* nv of a white man by the name of Joe Humphries, who was with Spurlin all day and tip to the time of the killing. He was required as a witness to give bond hut failing to do so was coihmit- te to jail with the two negroes. It is supposed that the motive for the killing of Spurlin was robbery, as his liquor, money and pistol were tak en from his bodv by those interested in his death. Since the above was written your correspondent has learned that Coro ner Vlnesett has been again called to th scene of the unfortunate occur rence and obtained some very impor tant evidence which implicates Hum- •diries, the white companion of Spur lin in his trip to the moonshine outfit near the battlefield of King’s Moun tain.

(’>.—Miss Lucile Haddon, a beautiful young woman about 19 years of age, daughter of Mrs. Sarah E. Haddon. who keeps a hoarding house on north Main street, met death in a most shocking and tragic manner early tills afternoon. She was shoi through the heart by tlie accidental discharge of a pistol which evidently fell to the lloor while she was removing several ar ticles of clothing from a trunk. Miss Haddon had only a few minutes before returned from shop- niug and while out she bought a bot tle of gasoline to clean a skirt. She went to her room and a few moments later the report of a pistol was heard. When members of the <amilv reached the room the young woman was lying on the Tloor gasp ing for breath. She never spoke. No one was in the room when the accident occurred. The bottle of gasoline was on the floor near the body and a smoking revolver of 41- calibre was near the trunk, which was open and from which the unfortu nate girl had removed several gar ments. Miss Lucile was of the sunny dis position and she was in her usual happy humor today. The pistol was a gif! Meeting of Presbytery. Reidsville, Sept. •». -The Presbytery of McClelland convened at this place last night in tin- colored Presbyterian church. The sermon was preached by the Rev. H. M.

Several days ago Sam Lee sent one and the only chance for forage will he j for precis' ly the s cutting grass and peavines. Lots of would pay if they the fodder his already been rendered useless from the had weather and th : want of labor in saving it. We have never heard such .a cry for farm hands, and thev ask such a price for their labor that farmers just can’t pay it. We are not one of those pessimis tic people who see nothing but failuo in the future, but the prospect (to say the least) is gloomy. What will be th'* result remains yet to be seen and felt. Mr. W. A. Whisonant is on his farm near Wilkinsville. He, too, is quite unwell. There are several cases of sickness reported in this community —mostly of a malarial nature. Dr. Hood, of Hickory Grove, has a very sick child. He has typhoid fe ver, so we understand. Sim. J. Strain is also unwell. He was taken sick last Tuesday morning and has been in bed ever since. Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Estes visited their daughter, Mrs. Eliza Foster, and family Tuesday and spent Tuesday night with them. During the electric storm last Mon day evening nearly all the ’phones were burnt out and telephone com munication has been •seriously inter fered with. Mr. Joseph R. Kennedy, who has been in very bad health for mare than a year, is able to be up again. We are glad to note that the Flint Hill gold mine is to be reopened and worked by a company fully prepared to develop it to its fullest capacity. This was among the first mines we ever knew of and It has been worked “off and on” for many years. But the drawbacks that former operators have had to contend with have at last been overcome, by the latest “up to-date” methods of mining and we are satis fied great results may reasonably be expected. The property has changed hands several times within our recol lection. Hon. D. E. Finley, M. C„ (than whom we know no one better quali fied to speak) said at Wilkinsville <>n tlie ”rd day of August that forty per cent, of the gold found east of the Mis sissippi river came from the mines in the r.th congressional district of South Carolina. If ihe expensive and laborious sys tem used in raising it heretofore has placed such an enormous amount of gold in tlie market, what may we rea sonably expect when such .improved and labor-saving machinery is em ployed to do that work? To this add the immense water power soon to be d* veloped right at the mines and tlie source of wealth is incalculable and beyond our comprehension. We shall watch the course of events with much interest and will gladly note what progress is made by this new enter prise.

AN ATTEMPTED ASSAULT. Deed of in Barnwell White Man County. Columbia. Sept. 9.—There came near l> dug a lynching of a white man in Barnwell county today. It did not happen. The man in the case, W. W. Prather, a contractor of Augusta, Ga„ is said to have borne a good re putation but while there was no actual demonstration against him it was thought best to take the prisoner on to the penitentiary. The alleged outrage occurred yes terday in an isolated section of the county. The man was drivinp' along Hie road with a negro. He stopped at the home of Mrs. Whitman Rountree, in which the only occupant was a woman. He sent the negro on and entered tlie house and made an im proper proposal to the lady which she indignantly repelled. He grabbed her and there was a short struggle. Af ter she was considerably bruised he finally gave up ami left, her screams frightning him. Prather denies am attempt at as saulting Mrs. Rountree and says she called to him as he was passing that e l ug ly of tho j she was standing in the door, that dog-tail \aiietj, and with very little! when he went in she told him. a per il) lie nidi ket. we fear. et stranger, about her domestic We are glad to note the goo I feel-j t.-oubles and said she was going to quit her husband in about three Silica springs, a short distance from Gaffney. The party was under the able chaperonage of Mesdames. Bar- row and Garrett. ’The improvements on the residence of Mr. W. J. Wilkins have assumed such proportions as to give one an idea as to what the building will look like when completed. The improve ment is very attractive. J. G. Bramlett. who recently pur chased the interest of J. J. Gallagher iti the former firm of Bramlett & Gallagher, has re-opened his oyster parlor for the coming season. Mr. Bramlett will also serve lunches, etc., in his cafe. The election returns will be re ceived at The Ledger office this af ternoon and tonight. Everybody in terested is cordially invited to call. The managers at the different pre cincts are urged to send in th** re turns iff the most possible haste. To the regret of his many friends in this city, Mr. Harry McCarley has resigned his position with the Chero kee Drug company and is no ’'mcer a resident of this city. Mr. McCarley is now residing in Atlanta, where he will pursue his pharmaceutical stud ies. A feature of the week socially in Gaffney was a most enjoyable straw- ride, which was enjoyed bv - large number of young people on Friday evening. Perfect weather made the evening idea] for such an event, mak ing the occasion one of unalloyed pleasure. j R. L. and T. E. Maness, evangelists I °f Asheville, N.

The corpora tion is to take such cotton when it is forced cm tlie market by those unable to carry it, and to meet such matur ing obligations. By this’plan the cot ton forced on the market will be kept out of the hands of the specula tors and exporters and the regular marketers will get tho benefit prices. It is believed it will protect the grow ers, in maintaining a fair and profit able price for cotton. President Jor dan said the committee made no esti mate of the probable crop, as it is too early, but from reports received, evidently the crop has greatly de teriorated within the last two weeks Husband Shoot* Wife. Newborn, N. C., Sept. 9.—Georgia McCartney, a white woman aged twenty-four, was shot by her hus band, William Manson McCartney, this morning. The circumstances of the affair indicate murder, hut Me Cartnev insists that the shooting was accidental. He says that he took the pistol, which was of the modern ham meriess kind, and was carelessly plav ing with it. His wife was standing by him when the weapon was dis charged. the ball entering her right eve and lodging in the brain, the wo man dying in t hours.

Sticks In The Stomach Feeling That Often Comes to People With Weak Digestion. A poor sufferer from indigestion once said that his stomach felt as though it was filled with .sticks and as though some of them were on fire and burning him up inside. When the stomach and the organs of digestion and nutrition are weak ened and de» not act properly, the symptoms of ill health that follow- are* many and varied. There is often a feeling of heaviness in th-* stomach, there is distress and nervousness, diz ziness. nausea, nervous and sick head- aches, inability to sleep well, pains in the sidt* and limbs, specks b fore tlie eyes and a general peevish, irritable condition. Alj these troubles are the* direct re sult of indigestion. Cure this b" strengthening th^* stomach, and di gestive system with Mi-o-na stomach tablets and your symptoms of ill health win vanish like dew before the morning sun; life will he joyous, and digestion will be so natural that you wil! forget you have a stomach.
