RECKLESS AND DANQEROUS. The Conduct of Two Men Causes Ex citement on East Main Street. Policeman Jernigan experienced a long and exciting chase Thursday after noon when he ran down and arrested two white men, John Grant and John Whitlock, farmers who reside in the vicinity of Milton, this county. Grant and Whitlock were in town together several hours Thursday, and Grant was drinking more or less. About 3 o'clock they started home. They stopped at Holmes' Springs, East Main Street to get a "drink." Before pro ceeding on their journey officer Jerni gan appeared on the scene and attempt ed arrest Grant who wasnnw apparent ly pretty drunk. Suddenly lashing his horse into a wild run, assisted by Whit lock, Grant drew his pistol and opened up a fusillade of shots in the direction of the pursuing policeman. The officer was not mounted and of course was soon distanced by the fleeing disturbers of the peace who continued firing for several hundred yards. A good saddle horse was placed at the officer's disposal and in a few min utes all the good people of that placid neighborhood who had not "taken to the woods," were getting glimpses of a furi ous, headlong, neck-breaking race, a race to the finish, at once thrilling and terrify ing. The men were speedily overtaken and were brought back and put in the guard house. Friday morning Whitlock was fined $15.00 in the Mayor's Court for reckless driving. Grant was not well enought to ap pear in court, but during the day a bond for $100 was arranged and he was released. He will be given a hearing in the Mayor's Court Saturday Aug. 19th. It is needless to add that all the peo ple along the street and road were thoroughly terronized by this unusual conduct but fortunately no one was in jured. Croup instantly relieved.

If it should be in the end that Mr. Millikcn has bought a controlling inter est in your cotton mill and you want the presidency of another, please come over to Abbeville. We wonld be glad to have so successful a man as the president of the Laurens mill come this way. If he would come, and a proper canvass was made, Abbeville would no doubt do her best, even if that best is small. Think about it, Mr. Lucas. We need a cotton mill, and we need a builder.?Abbeville Press and Banner. Grave Trouble Foreseen. It needs but little foresight, to tell, that when your stomach and liver are badly affected, grave trouble is ahead, unless you take the proper medicine for your disease, as Mrs. John A. Young, of Clay, N. Yr, did. She 3ays: "I had neuralgia of the liver and stomach, my heart was weakened, and I could not eat. I was very bad for a long time, but in Electric Bitters, I found just what I needed, for they quickly relieved and cured me." Best medicine for j weak women.

Leopard, employed at the New berry Cotton Mills. Newberry j S. C, says: "I have used Doan's Ointment and cannot say too much in its favor. I had itching hemorrhoids for years and also a breaking out on my legs, and it almost set me crazy. I could not find anything to help it. I have seen the time when I nave gotten out of bed and scratched until my legs were one mass of blood and I felt as though I could have taken a knife and scraped the skin off, but it only made it worse. The doctor gavo me some salve and bought two or three different ointments and put them on, hut nothing c'id any good. Finally I procured a box of Doan's Ointment. I do not think I had it on ten minutes before I f?lt relief. A continuation of the applications as di rected entirely stop]>ed all my misery and no one knows what a re'ief it has been. I can take off my clothes now and sleep in peace. You can bet your last dollar on one thing. 1 -hi recom mend Doan's Ointment first, last and all the time." For sale by all dealers. Price 50cts.

A small Eaat Sido urchin in New York found a cigar bubt in the gutter, and lacking a match to set it going, went into a tobacco 8hop to beg for one. "Say, Mister, will you give me a match?" "No, I won't. We don't give matches away here, we sell 'em." "Yer don't say so?well, wat's de damage?" "Cent a box." "Chuck one over." The kid felt round in his pockets, finally locating a single copper down deep in his trousers. He took a match, lit his inch of Havana and after getting it going in good shape, handed the match box across the coun ter, and administered this lordly rebuke to the astonished proprietor. "Say, Mister, put that box up there on yer shelf, an'if anuther gentl'mun comes in here an' strikes yer for er match, just give him one out'en my box, see? So long." "strange but true."

Within my recollection there has never been such blackmail attempted in Greenville county, and I believe that enough truth will come out to show the parties, who are responsible for it, in their true light. 1 propose to show them up and I believe that I can do so to the satisfaction of all fair men. Un der the advice of my attorneys, I do not deem it proper to state what I can prove, but I ask the public to with hold judgment until the whole truth is made known. " ? Greenville News.
