REIGN OF TERROR.
Citizens of Virginia Town Literally
Sleep on Their Arm*.
Richmond, Va., Sept. 30.—Advices
from Arvonia, the center of the slate
mining tegion in Buckingham coun
ty, 75 miles west of Richmond, indi
cate that the citizens of the communi
ty are aroused to a state of dread and
panic over recent acts and threats of
lawlessness in the community.
The receipt by several citizens of
annoyin* us letters threatening murder
and arson, and the shooting from am-
bush on Saturday last of W M.
Gregory, a substantial land owner,
have intensified the feeling and fear.
Mr. Gregory had during the summer
caused the arrest of Benjamin and
Arthur Zimmerman and Charles and
Willie Thomas. The latter was bailed
out, and recently the other three men
escaped from jail. As they have been
charged with 'Ther crimes, they are
suspected of both the shooting o?
Gregory and of writing the letters
which have led the citizens to literal
ly sleep on their arms.
The county officials have been at
work on the case, but have not as yet
made any appeal to the governor.
The citizens wired the governor for
detectives and bloodhounds, but he re
plied that he could not act unless re
quested by the proper authorities.

at Spartanburg.

opportunity on Saturday, October 17.
of visiting Ringling Brothers’ World's
Greatest Shows, the point of exhibi
tion being at Spartanburg. This sea
son marks the twenty-fifth anniver
sary of this great circus, and the
Ringling Brothers are celebrating the
year by presenting the greatest Kuro-
pean program ever offered, a parade
that surpasses all those of the past,!
a now and complete menagerie,
another brilliant spectacle, and the
most astonishing and sensational
"lliriller" in all history.
Tne "thriller" is nothing legs than
a double somersault In mid-air made
by a heavy automobile with Mile. La
Belle Roche, a young French woman,
u( the wheel. The car dashes clown
a steep incline from the dome of the
tent. An abrupt up-curved terminal
hurls the ear high above the heads of
the audience, where It accomplishes
1 wo complete revolutions and then
lands with a crash on a narrow speed
way exhausting its terriflr momen
tum on the hippodrome track.
This is an act that defies English,
ft cannot he described, and when
once seen, the picture of it will be
c arried in memory to the end of life.
Ft. is the first instance where a single
automobile-has turned two somer
saults in space.
The world-wide character of this
years remarkable company ran be
seen at a glance. From France come
the great St. Leon family of acrobats;
the Patty Brothers who walk, skip the
rope and dance on their heads; Bur
geos and Clara, the gymnasts; the
wonderful Martell troupe of cyclists;
the aerial Millettes, and Miss La Bello
Roche, who does the dangerous auto
mobile double somersault.
From Italy' have come the great
Bed ini family of riders and the Mar-
nello-Marnitz quartet of acrobatic
bellringers. In Germany were found
Schadel, the great zebra rider; Mar
guerite and Hanley, the gymnasts,
and the Prosit trio and Horton and
Linden, burlesque bar performers.
Riccobono, the world’s greatest train
er of animals, and his marvelous
company of horses are from Russia,
and the Mirza Golem acrobats are
from the court of the Shah of Persia
Wormwood and his trained bears;
the Duttons and the Clark Brothers,
riders; the great aerial Clarkonians
and the famous Jordan family are
from England; Kerslake and his
company of pigs that skip the rope;
and shoot the chutes are from New,
Zealand, and the eight Carnellos,

pany of burlesque bull fighters are 1

Rescue the aching back.
If it keeps on aching, trouble comes.
Backache is kidney ache.

This Gaffney citizen will show yon
how to go to the rescue.
M. L. Ross, 1101 Miss street, Gaff,
ney, S. C., says: ”1 heartily recom
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills to anyone
afflicted with kidney trouble. Serer&l
months ago I was suddenly attached
by a severe pain across the small of
niy back which grew worse until on
one occasion, I was confined to the
house for two weeks, hardly able to
move about. The kidneys were also
sluggish in action and from this I de
cided that they were out of order.
When i was advised to try Doan’s
Kidney Pills, I decided to do so and
procured a box at a drag store. They
soon cared me and I have had no
backache or any annoyance from the
kidneys stnoa.”
