FOUNTAIN INN MAN IN TROUBLE. L. P. Armstrong Arrested on a Very Seri ous Charge. I?. P. Armstrong, of Fountain Inn, this county, was arrested in Anderson County and brought before Magistrate Stradley by Deputy Sheriff Ballenger yesterday afternoon, on a warrant harging him with defaming the charac ter of Pearl Armstrong, a young woman of Fountain Inn, said to be the defen dant's daughter, although this fact does not appear in the affidavit and warrant of arrest. Waiving a preliminary examination, Armstrong, who is said to be one of the wealthiest men in that part of the county, gave bond in the sum of Vou. for his appearance at the next term of the Court of General Sessions. It is alleged that a letter striking at the virture of Pearl Armstrong, and ad dressed to a young man of the neigh l>orhood, Dave Andrews, who was visit ing her at that time, was written by the defendant and by him deposited in the l>o8tofhce at Fountain Inn, through which channel it finally reached the hands of Andrews. A number of people living in the vicinity of Fountain Inn, are mentioned as witnesses in behalf of the prosecution. The contents of the let ter cannot be printed. The case is most remarkable. For several weeks at least Armstrong has not been at Fountain Inn, and he was said to be living in Anderson, where he was arrested yesterday. He is worth considerable money, and that a man of his stamp should be guilty of such an awful crime cannot be entertained for n moment by many who know him. Scarcely a year ago Armstrong fig ured in a suit for damages against him in the Court of this county, a man named Lawless demanding retribution for the loss of an eye, alleged to have been destroyed by Armstrong. The jury found for Armstrong, the defence be ing that Lawless, while intoxicated, had been guilty of outrageous conduct in the presence of Mrs. Armstrong.? Greenville News, Aug. 6th. Will Use All the Power. A correspondent writing from Ware3 Shoals to the Greenwood Index says: "All of the power is to be used at the Shoals which will give us in the near future a manufacturing city of 8,000 or 10.000 people. In a short time we will realize tht dream of our ancestors in evelopmcnt of this magnificent power which will prove an ines able blessing to the entire surround ing country. All honor to the progres sive citizens who have contributed ^ the success of this enterprise. This is one of the most highly ftvored sections of the Piedmont and wo cordially invite all good people to come at once and share the solid wave of prosperity that will soon spread all over the country." MR. KIMSEY HUSKEY'i PLATFORM. Has Split More Rails Than Lincoln and Now Wants to go to the Legislature. In getting forth his platform, Mr. Kimsey Huskey, candidate for the Legislature in Cherokee County for the unexpired term of Mr. Kirby, has this to say of himself and his qualifications in the Cherokee News: "First, I want to say a few words about my own self as I am a young man and not known by many of tue Seople in this county. I was born Oct. 5th, and have worked on the farm most of that time until a few years ago. I have been teaching school for the last four years and am going to make that my life work so far as I know now. 1 have done a little of every thing that a farmer boy could do. I have plowed, hoed, ditched, cut cord i wood, split rails, clerked in a store about two years, and have taught school about four years. We read about how "Old Abe Lincoln" used to split rails; he split enough rails one winter for a man to get him a Jpair of pants. Now, that is about what he did and the whole world has made a big thing of it. I split nine hundred rails my own self in one winter for an uncle of mine. If I will try as hard as I ought to I can do anything Abe Lincoln did but be a Republican and a President. 1 can't do that. And this about the Dispensary: First: The Whiskey Question; so fnr as this county is concerned it is settled; but that will be the main question in the next State campaign and in the next Legislature. What will we do about the Dispensary? I will say here and now that I am well pleased with the conditions in Cherokee county and will do all in my power to make such the condition in all of South Carolina. I think Cherokee county is in much better condition now than it was before we voted out the dispensary. It will be better still when Spartanburg and Un ion counties go dry. I am not like some; I will tell the truth as I see it if I lose votes by it. There is being some whiskey sold and drunk in this county now and will be just as long as baby boys are horned into the world, and just as long as the mountains of North Carolina stand. They will make it and some people will drink it. But there is not more than one third of the whiskey drunk in this county now than there was before the dispensary was voted out. So I think one-third is better than three thirds." Dr. Babb Locates in Honea Path. Dr. H. M. Babb, of Laurens county, has located in Honea Path to practice medicine.

Stribbling, former proprietor of Dairy farm, says: "I am highly pleased with the results I obtained form the use of Doan's Kidney Pills which I used for backache and kidney trouble. I suffered for somo years with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, especially had at night. At times it was so severe that I was totally unfit to attend to my work. The kidney se cretions were dark colored, full of brick dust sediment and a very strong odor. At night I was obliged to rise frequent ly which together with the constant backache and loss of sleep caused my general health to be very poor. I used any number of remedies and took doc tors prescriptions but it was the same old thing, very little if any relief. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and went to the Palmetto Drug Co.'s store and got a.box of them. To my delight after taking them my back regained its strength, did not ache and the kid deys acted naturally and I could rest it nigh without being disturbed." For sale by all dealers. Price 50c ^s.

Of course they nil die, sooner or Inter, and yet It Is an 01 ( r.rrenco so rare as to be practically unknown for anybody who lives beside or on the ocean to come across the "re mains" of even a single victim of the fate that awaits nil tilings mortal. In the profounder depths putrefaction can not take place, so if the dead fish once reaches those callll, chill abysses he would be preserved until tilgend of time. Probably, however, no" such peaceful repose awaits more than an InfinUcBlmnlly small proportion of the finny folk, and no great accumulation of lifeless bodies exists at the bottom of the sea. The living eat the dead be fore they can make the long, slow Journey downward. As a matter of fact, extremely few flsh, and perhnps none, ever meet what Is known as a "natural death." Almost always they uro sin in and devoured and so put definitely out of the way. In nil meanness there Is a defect of Intellect as well as of heart.

It was Mardl 'tld have hesitated, but Mr. Ran dolph's cheerful confidence left her no room to do so. They walked on rather slowly, for the crowd w.i ? dense, and Mr. Ran dolph's shoulders acted as a buffer more than once. "We'll have time to go and get some hot chocolate before Bex gets here," he calculated cheerfully. "Look out there, will you7" This last to a line of college boys who were going through the crowd like an animated wedge. The pretty maiden laughed dell clously. "You looked so angry," she explain ed between gasps, then stopped sud denly because a small red devil, with bartered mask, aimed a shower of con fetti at her laughing face. There was a blare of trumpets down the street and the long roll of a drum. A wave of excitement submerged the people. Randolph used shoulders and elbows with a skill that bespoke long experience on the football field, and the pretty maiden found herself In the front of tho crowd. Mounted policemen paced slowly past her, a band shrilling forth "If Ever I Censo to Love," and then Rex and his cohorts. Tho pretty mniden dimpled and blush ed from sheer delight at the gorgeous Bprctncle, and the capering maskers On the fantastic floats repaid her Interest. One threw her a great fragrant bunch Of violets, which she clasped with both hands like an excited child; another tossed an nrmle^ of brass; a third a box of Kreuch sweets, until young Ran dolph was hugely proud of her. Then, when the last sliver tower and shim OASTOniA.

"Now let's have.Hint chocolate," said Mr. Raudolph. They found a corner In a pretty tea room, and he dliipatched a wulter for their order, while the room ni led steadily. "Do you know," he said, "you'vs changed somehow?" The pretty maiden cam* back with a start to the fact that Mr. Randolph was not a lifelong friend. "Have I?" she asked safely. "Yes," he repeated, "somehow you've changed. You always were pretty, you know, and I always .was your abject slave, but now"? "I've- changed?" asked the pretty maiden mournfully. "You're so?so much more so," he ex plained lucidly. "You remember," asked Mr. Ran dolph presently, "how we used to love each other when you were ten and' I was fourteen?" "We didn't," she said, with a start. "Ob, uonaensel You cried your eyes out when I left for school. And you said you'd marry me when you grew up?and when we satd goodby?you kls?ed me." "I did nothing of the sort," cried the pretty maiden, Tory pink and furious. "You've forgotten," Said Mr. Ran dolph. "There's no reason why you should be ashamed of It. A childish affection In the most Blncero?and you certainly were fond of me," he nntahed tamely. "I'vo changed very much," said the pretty maiden, thoughtfully selecting a macaroon from the plate of cakes. "I'm sorry," said Mr. Randolph sim ply, "because you're even nicer than you used to be." "I wout to tell yon something," she said. "I*m not Miss Preston?I novor saw you before. I*m here for the car nival, and I lost my people. In the crowd this morning; and then you came and?I know it was horrkl of mo." "Well," said Mr. Randolph stiffly. "Well, it was Just a lark," she plead ed defiantly, "and won't you please go ?now--hurry, please." The pretty maiden had seen her mother and father ncross tho room. "If you wish It, of course," said Mr. Randolph with most unreasonable dig nity. "I think you better," she said, and fairly pushed him away, and in a mo ment she turned to her father and mother with indignation In her eye. "Well, you lost me," she said with hypocritical anger, "for two whole hours, and I'm nearly starred." The pretty maiden and her parents dined with friends that night, and the pretty maiden weut in to dinner with Mr. Randolph, to her unbounded sur prise. Mr. Raudolph looked a similar feellug. Then they both laughed. "The world isn't so largo after all," she said. "My world," said Mr. Randolph, "comes only just up to my shoulder." Spoiled Her Beauty. Harriet Howard, of W. 34th.
