BishopvDIe, Dec. 25.—It had been
known by the authorities here that
the town has been for some time in

and repeated efforts had been made
to break them tip, but they were so
wary, that almost every attempt had

•But Sunday morning our efficient
police surprised a party who well
su^nlied with a liberal stock of the
“rasy,” were having a little game and
captured the entire crowd.
On being suspected they broke tfcnd

the officers were compelled to use
their weapons, the entire gang wa/<

A Clever Burglarizing Scheme Re
vealed in an Aiken Store.
Aiken. Dec. 25.—A clever burglar
izing scheme has just been discover
ed in the store of Hohn & Company
here. For sometime past it has been
suspected that their store was being
entered by burglars during the night,
and when it was plainly indicat 'd, a
watchman w T as employed to stay in
the store at nights, though he did not
see or hear anyone. A few nights
ago Mr. Munday, who lives in a near
by building, heard knocking against
the r ar door of the store. Getting
his gun he went out and caught two
ne-'ro boys in the act of going into
the store.
It appears that by climbing upon
an adjoining building, and going
down a telegraph pole they came to
a rear door, which, owing to its ob
scurity. was not kept locked. The
bovs who are only about fifteen veurs
o d. were turned over to the county
authorities.
Negro Suspect Arrested.
Lancaster, Dec. 25.—Sheriff Hunter
arrested and lodged in jail Saturday
i a negro named Beauregard Robert
son charged with breaking into the
store of Mr. Ellison Plyler, about ten
miles in the country the night, be
fore. Mr. Blyler's son-inlaw. Mr.
Howie, heard a noise in the store Fri
day night, and going to the building,
found a man Inside. He fired at the
party but missed him, and his gun re
fusing to discharge the second time,
he broke the weapon over the burg
lar’s head The latter, however, es
caped.
The negro arrested by the sheriff
the next day Is suspected of being
the guilty party. His shoe exactly
fit the tracks made at the store by
the burglar.

Rheumatism is a disease that inv
tire system. Its primary cause rest
failure of the eliminative organs, the
neys and Bowels, to carry out of th
urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming i i
contact with the different acids of the body imns
uric'acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood,
mal ri ug it sour and unfit for properly nourishing
the ixxiy, and as this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib
uted to all parts. 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, throbbh'g
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, eh alky depc si s 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 be >t time
to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather; because then the blood takes on new life aud
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 tiie bod)’, 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.

Flue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and lasts
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger
Mute Child Burned.
Lamar, Dec. 25.—News was receiv
ed here this afternoon that the little
seven-vear old son of Mr. and Mrs.
E. C. Barnell had been badly burned.
The only facts that can he had now
are that the chi d had followed some
older boys a distance of a half mlie
from the house, where they built a
fire They remained for a short while,
and then the older boys strolled off,
leaving the child at the fire. They
retumo'] in a short time, onlv to find
the chi’d burned almost to death. Dr.
Watson, who was called to the bed-
side of the child, stated that it could
not recover. While the child was a
mute It. was exceedingly bright, and
his death will he a source of much
regret to all who are acquainted with
him.
Shot in the Mouth.
Aiken. Dec. 25.—In a shooting af
fair Saturday night Charlie Webb was
shot and probably fatally wounded
h” Dock- Rogers, both white men. It
annears that the two men were going
home from Aiken in a drunken ren
dition. A short way out they got to
quarrelling and Rogers shot Webb in
the month, making a severe wound.
Both men came back to Aiken where
medical attention was given Webb.
The physician states that there is lit
tle hone for his recovery.
There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and flue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called flue cured. In flue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
flues in houses especially built to re
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process developes in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds’ brands
of high grade, flue cured tobaccos.
Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to
bacco is flue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this flue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind of tobacco you are chewing don’t
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c
to $1 .00 per pound; Schnapps is sold
at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts, strictly
10 and 15 cent plugs.
