But whether you are weak physically or nervously, you need a tonic, and the best tonic for you ?s Cardui. It builds strength for the physical and nervous systems. It helps put flesh on your bones and vitality into your nerves. Take CARDUI J 4? The Woman's Tonic Adcock, of Smith passing through the "My mother," writes Mrs. Z.

(Continued from first page.) upon an exception upon that ground, the court said: "While such a course on the part of the trial Judge is. perhaps, unusual, and possibly not to be commended, we know of no law which forbids it, and, therefore, we cannot say that there was any error of law iu this respect; and to that we are confined in cases of this kind." As no plea of justification was in terposed by defendant, the alleged er ! ror of charging that there is only one form of justifiable homicide known to our law could not have been preju dicial. Under the undlspted evidence a charge upon the law of self-defense would have been inapplicable to this case. There was no testimony tending to show that appellant was not legally responsible for the crime committed. The motion for a new trial for after discovered evidence was properly re-; fused. It was not supported by affid avit that the evidence could not, by the exercise of due diligence, have been secured iu time for the trial, and, according to the statements of appel. Iant'8 attorneys to the court as to the character of the alleged newly dis covered evidence, it was merely cumtl- ! lative. But, aside from this, the de cision of the circuit court on motions for new trials for after-discovered evi dence, In a law case, can not be re viewed by this court, except for er rors of law. The appellant was not sentenced "to bo publicly executed," the sentence was that he be hanged "at the usual place of execution." which is fixed by statute within the county jail or the enclosure thereof, Crini. Code, Sec. GtiO. The Judgment of this court is that the judgment of the circuit court be affrtnod, and that the case be rc- ! manded to that court for the purpose of having a new day assigned for the execution of the sentence heretofore imposed upon the defendant. The sentence pronounced by Judge Prince, which it will he noted, was one of the exceptions in the case, was as follows: "The defendant having been brought to the bnr of this court, and having been duly arraigned for sentence, anil having been asked by the clerk of this court what he had to say why the sen tence of the court should not now be pronounced, and he having answered that he did not have aught to say fur ther than had already been said by himself and counsel, the sentence of the court was then pronounced, as fol lows, to wit: The judgment of the law and the sentence of the court is that you, John Henry Anderson, be taken hence back to '.he place whence last you came and there kept In close con ftnement until Friday, the 23d day of April next, when and whence you shnll he taken by tlx; sheriff of the county of Laurens to the usual place of execu tlon, and between the hours of 11 In the morning and 2 o'clock In the after banged by the neck until you are dead, dead, dead, and may God have mercy on your soul. Qeo. E. Prince, Presiding Judge." "March 13, 1909. The Motive for the Killing. The story of the killing and the Im mediate events leading up to it, as told by Anderson on the stand, are in part: "The first one that took sick was the oldest girl. Another one was the third oldest girl. I come backwards and forwards, and come to the railroad, and the house, as near as 1 can come at it, is about n hundred and ten or fifteen or twenty yards from the rnll doad. And they would come out to the rallrad whero 1 was. I asked them how they were getting along. They said they was bad off sick. My wife never did ask me in, and old man Josh didn't becauso he objected to my com ing. None spoke to me except my own family. She stayed sick, 1 suppose, until about (he 20th, 1 reckon, of July. The other one, she stayed sick as near us I can come at it, along about four weekB?never got bettor until way up in August. She didn't. I come back wards and forwards to soo her, and several days I come down there to see her while she wr?o ulck before they got that crop laid by, there wasn't no body at the house but them small little children that wasn't able to do nothing at all but get some water. My wife was in the field boeing cotton, and old man Josh was in the Held ploughing, and my other two biggest children was in the held. I says to her, 'Sick as that child is, what you doing out there hoe ing cotton??You ought to be in the house tending to that child.' 1 says, 'How you manage to give the medicine the doctor Rive you on regular time?" She says, 'About the time I think it Is medicine time I stops an goes to the house.' I says, 'Then you goes back to the held?' She says, 'Yes.' 1 says, 'Why don't you stay at the house and tend to them?' She says, I have to hoe ; cotton." 1 says, 'It* you was with me j don't you know 1 wouldn't let you work none; I would have you at the house, and take the other two children and go to work best as 1 could." She says, 'Yes.' Her mother was at Water loo then. I says, 'Where is you moth er?' She Bays, 'At Waterloo, at Dr. Foanell's. 1 says, 'Why ain't she at the house attending to them?' She says, 'I don't know.' "I come In the corner next to the pulpit In there at that door ? 1 was In that settlement on that side (indicat ing.) 1 come In the church and set down right at the door, and set there awhile and looked at the child In the Coffin, and, of course, my heart just got away there. And 1 never spoke a 1 word to nobody. 1 got up and went Oil outdoors, and I stepped on the first step out there, and I just pulled out my pistol, and he was standing at tin door there, and I shot him. And then after I shot him I never snapped on him nary other time no more. lie whirled and caught around a tree. "Q. Why did you Bhoot him? "A. Because he didn't give up my family and kept thorn In that hobble against me. and I had notified him |f he didn't put them out I would shoot him if I met him. He told me to do it now and be done with It." Don't Throw It Away. Clean your old and worthless furni ture with BCay and w;iter. Then ap ply one coat of L. ft M. Varnish-all ready-for-use.

The Sullivan township equalization hoard has been in session this week, Messrs Machen, Simpson and Wasson having been busy goln? over the re turns. They find some knotty ques tions coming up for settlemet. First. How can a man, wife and six children cook, eat and sleep on live dollars' worth of household goods and | kitchen furniture? Second. How can a man haul pro visions and guano from town, ride on Sunday in a hundred dollar top buggy, plow and make a crop with a ten dol lar mule? Third. How can a man support self' and family, and pay all his debts on ' a three dollar per acre farm? The board has unanimously conn to this conclusion : If our people show ed as much economy in their every day business as they do in making their tax returns, they would soon be the most prosperous people on earth.

The itcin of expense in many instances, precludes the wish. We know of one father, who in order to fulfill his ambition for a good education for his son, has laid aside each year since the boy was ten, one hundred dollars in a savings account. In this manner he will have provided the uecessary expense money by the time the son is twenty. A savings account can be put to any number of good uses.
