The Kidney Complexion. The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, distressed-looking people you so often meet are afllicted with "Kidney omplexion." Their kidney's are turning to a parsnip color. So is their complexion. They may also have indigestion, or suffer from sleepnessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaustion and sometimes the heart acts badly. The causa is weak, unheal thy kid eys. Usually the sufferer from kidney - disease does not lind out what the trouble is until it is almost too late, because the first symptons are so like mild sickness that that they do not think they need a medicine or a donor until they find themselves sick in ed. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root will bui up and strengthen their weak ami diseased kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney-poisoned blood, clear their complexion and soon they will enjoy better health. You can get the regular sizes at the drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar. or you may first prove for yourself the wonderful virtues of this great discovery, Swamp Root, by sending your address to l>r. Kilmer & o. Bi nghamton, X. Y. for a sample bottle and a book that tells all about it, both sent to you absolutely free by mail.

While the farming interest in the Smith i-s in a rather uepr. sseil Condition, in consequence of the very low price of cotton, yet our fnrineis must remember that they are to a largo extent responsible r. _ A i * - l . _ ; .. i __ At. _ ... i . i?.r ujj ; uepresMon v me malting of entirely too much cotton for the demand, ami by n t making their farms self-eust lining. All those that m?. .?uiple provisions the twelve months and cotton a surplus crop are in much the best condition. It is to be hoped that all will pursue this plan next season. The farmers that make all their provisions are in n much better condition than the laborers in the towns and cities. The majority of them have neither money nor provisions. As it takes all their wages to buy provisions, they live 1?ird, and yet they keep up with their wages, and there are thousands af families out of work and almost starving. When we think of all this we shoi;ld commence our crops with cheerfulness ami contentment, and give all the details of our farm work the proper thought, and avoid making the same mistakes we made last year. The idea should be with every farmer to make his farm self-sustaining and improve his soil if it is only slowl v. It is thought tliat a great many farmers wili nut use commercial fertilizers this year." They say cotton is too low for it to pay. Ii would be for better to reduce the acreage and fertilize a -nidler area as it is as much trouble to cultivate a poor crop as a pood otic, and on all our pine lands a poor crop would be the result oi I not. using for'ilizers ; but if plenfy of homo made manures is made the commercial article could be ' dispensed with, except perhaps | acid phosphate and kainit f>r composing. < >ne great advantage the tarrners have over other pro-. fessionn is their chance of having plenty of vegetables almost the entire year. From Christinas until spring is the time that there, is usually no vegetables on the j farms, but it should not be so. I R Winter cabbage will remedy this. By making a cow pen, or convenient place rich by aow penning on it, and the liberal use of fertilizers. The ground should be thoroughly plowed and fertized before planting, to get the land in good tilth. The seed of the late flat Dutch variety can in September be planted iu lulls two or three feet apart, and thinned to stalks when large enough. By the proper cultivation you will be rewarded with lino heads in January or February. This variety is very hardy, standing our coldest winters. They will continue until the spring garden corue in. I have done this for several years, and have never failed to have cabbage I in latter part of winter. W. B. F. LgURS.

T wenty or thirty shots wer?) fired in a very few seconds. When the firing ceased the following were found to tie the casualties: George lteid was phot in seven places, four halls entering the front an I three the back. Mack Ii iid was dangerously and possibly fatally shot, and Connolly had two halls through his left h a ri i I f o nw.u rr? o o nrvf l\ n rf j. ? nnirn i vuri n> nn iiiji if and the J'roachers were practical ly uninjured. George Keid died from his wounds at 5 o'clock this morning. Au inquest was held which resulted in a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death by pistol shots tired by J. O. Preacher and Arren Preacher. The Preachers remainod in town, and when they learned what the verdict was J. C. and Arren Preacher went to the sheriff, gave themselves up and were taken to jail. Just as the firing between the parties mentioned above ceased a single shot some distance away whr heard. Upon investigation it was found that Elmer Newton, a colored man, had been shot and was dead. It seems that NflWon heard the firing, and thinking the town marshal was in trouble and probably needed assistance, took a pistol and went to his aid. When he had nearly reached the scone of action his son took hold ol him and attempted to take hi<i pistol. In the scuffle NewtonVj pistol went ofT and killed him in stantlw The coroner's jury ren ! dered a verdict to the effect that, he came to his death by his ownj act. A NOT 11K K ACCOUNT. Bruuson, S. (\, April i).?Last night at about it o'clock a fusilade of pistol sliots iti rapid succession was heard, and it was soon dev ' eloped that a pitched battle w.ibeine low;,lit in the *ti\;ets be tween dames Preacher, t'liarlie Pr?ach?r and Air. n Preacher, brothers, on the one suit*, and' (ieorge Keid, Mack Kohl, .lames lleid, brothers, and dose ph Coll j nellv, on the other side. As a result < ioorge Uoid is dead. Mack Ueid is probably wounded, Joseph Connolly is seriously ' wounded, and James Preacher, slightly wounded in lb* hand li appears that a negro farm hand, employed bv George Held, was subsequently employ ed by tiie Preachers, and bad fueling was engendered there by. Yestarday evening the llieds went to the Preachers' res denco on this niarter, some hot words were passed, Later in the night the two parties met at the busiest cornor in the town ; and an altercation ensued between George Kei(\ and James Preacher, and in an instant weapons were drawn, and a general fusilade of about thirty or forty shots followed. The streets being crowded, it is miraculous that no bystanders were injured. The fire of the Preachers seems to hare been principally directed on George lleid. lie received nine wounds. Notwithstanding his many wounds ho lived until this morning. All the parties are men of families, except Charlie and Arren Preacher. George Beid leaves a wife.and child. Charlie and Arren Preacher are mere boys, the latter n?t yet 20 vearH old. The coroner's jury retured a verdict that the deceased came to | his death hy gunshot wounds at; the hands of dames and Arren! Preacher. As a sequel to the tijlit, Plmer ~ .i ?i ? i.. I rr w i?in, it i aim ui i > colored citizen, was accidentally ki led. Hearing the firing, and, thinking the policeman was he ing killed, ho sized his pistol and i started to the scene, and on arriv | ?ng he met his son, William Now- ! ton, who, thinking his father would got in trouble, attempted j to disarm him. In the attempt the i weapon, was discharged, killing the father instantly. .lames Preacher is tho son-inlaw of Ool. Lawrence W.
