WEDNESDAY JULY 26. 190S Harris Lithia and Glenn Spring Water on draught at Palmetto Drug Co Laurens, S. C. NO. 51 WOULD POISON I WHOLJE^FAMILY. Diabolical Deed Comes to Light Near Clinton. POISON IN THE WELL. John Miller and Wash Carwiie Sus pected-Miller is in Jail-Wash Carwiie Still at Large. A most diabolical attempt at poisoning an entire family occurred in the vicinity of Clinton the first of last week. On Tuesday, Mr. Waters Ferguson, his mother, Mrs. Maggie Ferguson, and a negro servant, all became quite ill at about the same time. The symptoms indicated poisoning and a physician was called in. Within a few hours the pa tients had pretty well recovered from the attack. Meantime nn investigation led to the discovery in the well of a bag made of calico scraps, containing a horrible mixture of portions of a snake, a frog and lizzard and a quantity of stuff resembling pounded match heads. The contents of the bag were carefully examined by the doctor who stated that there was not present any mineral poi son and that the nauseating effects were produced by drinking the water containing such abominable elements of filth. John Miller and Wash Carwiie, who until last Saturday were in the employ of Mr. Ferguson, their time having ex pired, were suspected of the crime. Miller was arrested and brought to jail Friday. He will probably be tried at the present term of court. Carwiie is still at large. The evidence against both negroes is said to be strong. They had given Mr. Ferguson a deal of trouble and it is stated that both had made threats against their employer repeatedly to the other hands on the place. CLINTON'S NANY VISITORS.
