Cured At 70 of Heart Disease Contracted During Civil War? Veteran Grateful. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Effected Cure. Yleart disea?e is curable, but in people of advanced age it does not readily lend itself to'ordinary treatment. There is, however, hope for all sufferers in Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, which we know from watching hundreds of ca.-cs and from the letters of grateful suffe-ers, w:l! cure where all else has failed. It is not only a wonderful cure for weak and diseased hearts, but it is a blood tonic, a regulator of the heart's action and the most effective treatment ever formulated for improving the circulation of the blood. "During the Civil war I contracted heart disease, and m 1896, while living in the grand old town of Lexington, Va., I grew so much worse. I left there with my wife to visit nrv sister-in-law, Mrs. T. A. Kirbv, at Roanoke, Va. While T said nothing to anyone 1 never expected to live to return to the dear old town. On reaching Mrs. Kirby's she insisted I should trv Dr. allies'Heart Cure. 1 procured a few bottles of it, al o the ..crvine and Tonic. After using one or two bottles, I could see no improvement, and 1 despaired of ever being better, but my faithful wife insisted cn keeping it up, which I did. Improvement soon began in earnest and 1 took m all lilieen or sixteen bottles. I was restored to p.-rfect health and while I nm 70 years old, I am comparatively a boy. You sir, arc .? benefactor, and I cheerfully recommend Dr. Miles' Heart Cure to suffering humanity."?J. L. SLAUGHTER, Salem, Va. Ail druggists sell and guarantee first bottle Dr. Miles' Remedies.

Tite legislature has done very little yet. Several bills have been introduced and relerred to the committees, and it will be several days before much is accomplished. What a spectacle Jim Tillman has made ol himself, silting up in the senate presiding over it? deliberations with murder in his heart and t wo loaded pistols in u. l.?i i ti..i ?i U?C. . i Uitt itioilt" proves mure conclusively his utter unfit ness tor the office to which lie aspired than anything Mr. Gon zales could have said about him. But he has to answer heavily to man and to God, so wo forbear to make further comment. The news of the death of Mr. N. G. Gonzales, editor and one of the proprietors of the Columbia State, who was shot by Lieut. Gov. Tillnt.ui last Thursday on Main str?>?. i in Columbia, was received in Lancaster Monday afternoon with sincere regret. On every hand were heard expressions of regret at the tragic end of that brilliant odi tor. The evil and cowardly deed of James II. Tillman has scored its victim, stilled a brave heart and stopped the workings of a splendid mind. N. G Gonzales was pre-eminently the peer of any newspaper editor in the State If is editorials always commanded admiration if not approval, lie was a bold, fearless, forceful writer and his death is a monument to the defeat of a justly discredited aspirant to the high and responsible office of the governship of this proud Commonwealth. The following is Irom an address of C. A. Woods, of Marion, on "Carrying Concealed Weapons in South Carolina" : If any evidence were desired as to tne spirit o! violence winch controls our people it will be found in the conduct of the lieutenant governor of the state, the second highest executive officer of the state. One moment clad in the robes of his office ivhd pre siding over the senate of South Carolina ; the next, armed with two pistols, carried upon his per son in violation of tho law, shooting down an unarmed man in one ol the main streets of the capital city of the state, without giving him tho least chance to figh? lor his life.

I j Carolina. Fiie shooting occrnred on Main street, just at the* intersection ol Oervais street; iu lull view ol t he State capitol. It was an awlu! tragedy in broad daylight and up on the most frequented street and corner in Columbia I The bullet which pierced through i one of the most distinguished edi tors ot the entire south may end that brilliant iile but if the best of surgery, the best of care and the most ardent of prayers and wishes avail for aught, that lilt ought to be saved. A SHOCK. It was just a few moments be> fore 2 o'clock when the cry wat passed alongthe streets that "Jim Tillman had shot N. G. Gonza les." It waa a shocking and a startling announcement. It wont like a thrill through all Columbia and there was a rush towards t lit1 scene of the tragedy to learn the facts and the condition of the (lis inguished editor. The office o! The State is on the same block af the scene of the shooting and il took but a lew moments for a great throng to assemble in front of the newspaper offico. TWO PISTOLS, The excitement and the indig nation on the streets was intense Policeman Poland immediately alter the shooting arrested Lieut Gov. Tillman and took him to police headrjunrfors where he was relieved of two pistols?the one with which he shot Editor Gonzales and a second large revolver or 88 calibre. From the police station he was taken to the county jail where he is tonight in lull protection of the officers. There was no conllict and the only attributed cause I or the shooting by Lieut. Gov. Tillman is that during the recent primary election Editor Gonzales opposed Lieut. G? v. Tiliuiau in his race i? I?IV? ?t?^ 4 - nu \ l v? 1/I1V7 UIJU1 IVO i it II ict ed upon hid defenseless victim.

TilK PROBABLE CAUSE. During the progress of th&t campaign Editor Gonzales in his tight to defeat Mr. Tillman had editorially called him a debauchee "blackguard," and in tact denounced him as a "criminal candi dato" and a proven "liar" It was this and other such editorial expressions it is supposed that goaded Mr. Tillman to the desperate deed of today. This was in August last and since the first primary. August 20, 1902, Editor Gonzales has had nothing to say about Mr. Tillman, except to comment on the result of the primary. L.V 1 * ~ /I ' * I 1'juimh ironzaies una i.ieu:. Gov. Tillman have passed each other in full view since the open ing of the present session ot the general assembly on Tuesday but there had been no enconter, no words passed, no nod or recogni tion of any kind and today it came like a thunderclap out of a peaceful sky when the shot was tired. It was absolutely ur.ex peeled and ali thought that whatever soreness there was as a result of the primary of last August had passed away, but it seems otherwise. THE STORY. As to the shooting that is a simple storv. Lieut. Gov. Till , man mot Mr. Gunzales on the street, drew his pistol and fired into him. There was no fuss or: er.thers but when at close nr;;"] Mr. Tillman opened fire, wiped his pistol on his coat si eve, took aim as it to fire a second time changed his mind and let his pis1 to) fall to his side. L'eut. Gov. Ti'lman was perfectly cool and collected, sober and unexciied lot all appearances. .Mr. Gonzales! was unarmed. 1 tie shock from the magazine pistol p.irdyz.d scntial features of the tragedy Mr. N G. Gonzales was going homo alone from his office to his lunch To go home he had w to go down Main street to Ger- tl vais and then turn east and go ei down that-street. Mr Gonzales h was as usual walking. Lieut Gov Tillman left the fi State house just after adjourn- p ing. He had presided at the r senate's session .and remained h around the senate chamber for 1; a while. As lie came out of the State house he was accompanied by Senator Talbird of Beaufort, and Senator Brown of Darling- j, ton, and he was joined on his ^ way up town by Congressman- j, elect \Vyult Aiken and former j] Representative Dominick. s The meeting was just at the v turn of Main and Cervais streets j, on the north side of the street, j, just at the street car transfer i; station. There was no oncoun v ter, no fist fighting, no laying v on of hands Lieut (Jov. Till , man, the testimony now all r seems to bo, simply drew his revolver and fired into Gon- f zales. Most of those wlio saw , the affair say there was nothing f said until after the shot. One t of Lieut. Gov Tillman's escorts f says he thin-s Mr Tillman said : | ,4L received your message and N then fired lie is not certain of -| this but thinks so. The other escor' of Mr Tillman says he ^ did not hear anything and did , not see the affair but thinks he . would have heard any words ns ( he was in the very midst of the f> fT'lo1 ai? f I - ? **t ' >t VI UU V/i, . . I ^ j they heard nothing until after v the firing of the pistol. ] Mil. (iU.N/A'l KS' STATEMENT. Mr. Gonzales himself gave :i s perfectly plain and explicit J statement of tlio whole alLur L prior to being put under tlio I anaesthetics, and h^ was vory'^ emphatic in saying that he lv> ll. not sent any message to Lieut ' Gov Tillman at any time and j that Mr Tillman -ai l nothing', until after he had fird and then'' after the ?hot lies- hi c>!nethin<r' n *' about taking him (t; naales) at L his word Mr Gonzales tooS I his to mean that Mr. Tillman ' f told him that he was settling^ old Lilies faee to f.ieo witli liim 1 Mr Gonzales is certain that nothing was said until after the shot was tired After the first shot Mr. Gonzales tottered to > the transfer station, against I which he leaned. Tillman was ' still pointing his pistol :tt him, 11 whereupon Mr. Gonzales said: n "Shoot again, you coward." Then Lieut Gov Tillman lowered his pistol and walked away. THE WOUNI) 'I There was only one shot tired < and that entered the right side between the eighth and ninth 1 ribs and passed tin jugh the i fore part of the h xly, coniins/ I out just abcive the free border I of the ribs. At first it was thought the bullet had gone I through the body from the I front to the back, but it did not, as it went through the fore part ^ of the body, entering above the d vest pocket on the right and coming below and behind the vest pocket on the leftside. The bullet was picked up on the pavemont and it seems to be bright and new and in no way battered. It was a bullet from | what is said to bo a long rango j German mako magazine pistol. ird rasteless CI st> 25 years. Aver lalf Minion bottles, o you ? No Cure, ir. a r r?
