(Baltimore Sun.) “rap” Hatfield, who a dispatch says was killed by brother, Dr. Elias Hatfield, near Warm Cliff, W. Va., is said to have killed at least 20 men in his numerous fights and feuds. As a leader in the war with the Mc Coy faction he spread terror over the border counties between Kentucky and West Virginia. So many persons were killed in the Hatfield McCoy feud that at one time it looked as if both families would be exterminat ed. The fend is said to have origl- I nated a generation ago in a dispute over *he ownership of two hogs. This led to quarrels and then to fights, which increased in bitterness until a regular feud developed. The Stay- ton Hatfield faction and the McCoys I were at each other with knives and guns and many were killed. The bit terness was increased when one of tho women of the McCoy tribe forsook her people and went with one of the Hatfields, who already had a wife. In 1882 there was a truce patched up that lasted several years, caused by the marriage of Anson Hatfield, son of “Devil Anse” Hatfield and brother of “Cap.” Hatfield, to Mary McCoy. This truce lasted until 1801, when the war brok-e out afresh and several murders resulted. The feeling was not so bitter for a time as be fore, and there was no extraordinary causality until the latter part of 1895, when “Cap.” Hetfield, it is allege 1, shot and killed John Rutherford and Henderson Chambers, of the McCoy faction, in the streets of Watewan. as the result of an election row. Hatfield and his twelve-year-old step-son, Jo seph Glenn, were pursued Into the mountains by, Elliott Rutherford and Henderson Chambers, of the McCoy faction, but "Cap.” Hatfield stopped, took careful aim and shot his pursuer through the heart. Hatfield was protected bv his fa ther, “Devil Anse,” in the Hatfield’s fort deep in the recesses of the moun tains, and was not dislodged from his stronghold until a sheriff and his pos'-> blew the place up with dyna mite. A]] hands escaped, and it was not until months later that Hatfield was caught. His son was standin 0 ' guard over their little camp, when Sheriff Keadle and fifty armed men surprised them. Hatfield was asleep, and when awakened the officers of the law were upon him. He surren dered and was placed in jail at Logan. After a visit from his wife one dav he cut his way out of jail with a hatchet and escaped. He was event ually recaptured, was tried and sen tenced to a year in Jail. Therg was a dozen murders In the feud during the time of his escape and trial, and after he had served his term and was out he shot and killed David Kennv it is declared. For this he was arrest ed and once more escaped. After his escape from the Mingo county jail, nothing was heard of him until several months later, when he got into a bloody fight with Wilbur Curtis at a lumber camp In McDowell county. Both men were badly wound ed. “Cap” declared at that time that he had gone to Cuba after his escape from jail. RHEUM A TISM ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMMER AS IN WINTER. £3 •S'-, nJ J' !■ mfmmw I U H >.■ 1 Last .Summer I had a severe attack of Inflamma tory Rheumatism in the knees, Irom which I was urable to leave my room for several months. I was treated by two doctors and also tried difier- ent kinds ot liniments and medicines which seemed to relieve me irom pain for awhile, but at the same time I was not any nearer getting well. One day while reading a paper I saw an adver tisement oi S. S. S. lor Rheumatism. I decided to give it a trial, which I did at once. Alter I had taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and I continued to take it regularly until I was en tirely cured. I now feel better than I have for years. CHAS. E. GILDERSLEEVE. Slh 32nd Street, Newport News, Va While the damp, cold, changing weather of Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a winter disease exclusively. Through the long months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated. Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en tire system. Its primary cause results from the failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in contact with the different acids of the body forms uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood, maHug it sour and unfit for properly nourishing the oody, and as this vital stream goes to every nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib uted to all part-s. The nervous system weakens from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased condition of the entire system is the result. Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed to remain in the blood, and the disease becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joints, and they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life* Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best time to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather; because then the blood takes ou new life and the skin is more active and can better assist in the elimination of the poisons. With the proper remedy to force the acid out of the blood, and at the same time build up and strengten the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism can be per manently cured. External applications relieve the pain and temporarily reduce the inflam mation, and for this reason are desirable, but they cannot have any effect on the disease. The blood is poisoned and the blood must be treated before a cure can be effected. S. S. S., a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rheuma tism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid and driving it out, and building up the sour blood so it can supply nourishment and strength to every part of the body, it cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. is the only safe cure for the disease; being purely vegetable, it will not injure the system in the least, as do those medicines which contain Potash or some other mineral ingredient. S. S. S. tones up every part of the body by its fine tonic properties. While cleansing the blood of all poisons it builds up the appetite and digestion, soothes the excited nerves, re duces all inflammation, relieves pain and completely cures Rheumatism in every form—Muscular, Inflamma tory, Articular or Sciatic. If you are worried with the nagging pains of Rheumatism, do not wait for it to be come chronic, but begin the use of S. S. S. and purge the blood of every particle of the poison. ® Write for our book on Rheumatism, and ask our physicians for any advice you wish.
