SOLD BY DRUGGISTS .EVERYWHERE BLOODY BATTLE FOUGHT AT PEAK One Negro Is Killed and Another Wounded?White Men Suffer In juries* Lexington, Nov. 23.?The little town of Peak In the Dutch Fork was the scene of a bloody battle last, night about 7:30 o'clock, when an effort was made by a number of citizens to arrest two negroes. who, it was thought, held up P, 13. Kllisor. an aged and highly respected farmer on the public highway a few miles from Prosperity, in Newberry county, yes terday afternoon. As a result of the battle one nemo is dead and two white men are Buf fering from pistol shot wounds re ceived when the negroes opened lire on their would-be captors, The second negro is probably floating in the water of Broad river, as he was traved along a ditch after the firing to the river's hank, where all signs of the trail was lost by the hounds that were placed on his track soon after the shooting. That he was wounded is evidenced by the fact that he fell to his knees at the second or third shot. Held l'p in ltoad. About 1 o'clock yesterday after noon P. B Elllsor was returning from Prosperity alone in his buggy when he was accosted by two negroes, who asked the white man for a chew of tObaCCO. When the farmer stopped the negroes drew their pistols, one approaching from each Bide of the buggy, and demanded that the white man give up his cash. At the point of the pistol Mr. Elllsor was forced to' turn over about $2.">. all the money that he had in his possession. After rpbbing Mr. Elllsor the negroes forced him to leave the buggy and the two highwaymen took possession of the buggy and horse and drove off down the road. The negroes drove the ani mal to a point near Pomaria, it is said, when the deserted the horse and buggy, leaving it beside the road way, where it was later found. The Alarm Sounded, Mr. Elllsor gave the alarm as soon as possible and the officers at New berry were notified. The citizens of Peak were notified of the occurrence and were asked to he on the lookout I for the negroes. About 7:30 o'clock an engine pulled up to the depot, and those who were on the watch for the suspects noticed two nogt'OCS rid ing on the tender. The negroes were accosted, and it is said opened fir;1 on the party. .1. T. Gallagher, foreman of construction gang of the Southern railway, was the first to receive a shot from the negroes, a hall having pierced his shoulder, lodging in the neck, near the jugular vein. James E. Entlng, a farmer, received a bullet in the left arm When the negroes open ed, fire on the party of citizens the shots were returned. Escaped to 1th or. One of the negroes ran toward the river and was seen to fall to his knees, the other ran through the streets of Peak with his pistol in his hand and was fired on by his pur suers. The negro ran for a short dis tance, when he fell to the ground as he attempted to cross a ditch, a pistol ball having entered his hip, passing through the body and came out in the abdomen. He was lodged In the guard house, where he was kept until 10 o'clock this morning, when he died. Negro Denied Guilt. The injured negro was interviewed by the sheriff, and gave his name as Richard Sparks and his home as Florence. He said that his compan ion's name was John Brown. To the last Sparks denied that he and Brown had held up the white man. Mr. Klli sor, however, identified the dead negro as being one of his assailants. Magistrate J. U. Frick of Chapin held an Inquest over :hc dead body of the negro this afternoon, the jury bringing in a verdict that the negro came ?o his death h> gunshot wounds at the hands of unknown parties.?

But I'll say In words emphatic as I scratch my mental attic that when I would grow ecstatic It's the gobL'er fat for mine.

"Isn't it n peculiar coincidence that Mie cranberry which'goes along with the hirtl Is rod?" "Nothin? odd about it. Hut it cer tainly would be odd if on n glorious day like this It looked blue!" WHAT THANKSGIVING MEANS. It has boon said that Thanksgiving is the one holiday that combines re ligion ami patriotism. Yet in the com mon observance of It there Is fre quently very little of either It Is too often reduced to a feast and nothing more. Why should not the idea of offering thanks for some great national bless ing during each year be made more prominent, especially in giving the meaning of the day to the children'? In every years there Is some occurrence, of this sort. <tf course the old idea was to irive thanks for bountiful crops and national prosperity. Tins is good, but why not add to It thanks for spe cial blessings both to individuals and to the nation ? THOUGHTS FOR THOSE WHO GIVE THANKS. While yon are about the pleasant duty of giving thanks remember? The poor. The discouraged. The fallen The imprisoned. The oppressed. The heavy laden. The sick. Upon the depth and the character of the remembrance will largely depend the acceptability of your thanksgiving. THE CANADIAN THANKSGIVING DAY. Thanksgiving day Is peculiarly an American Institution, but the Cana dians have taken .up the custom. With them the date la usually the last Mon day of October, po"sihly because their winter conies earlier than with us. They place the festival on Monday. In. stend of Thursday, on the theory that a day taken out of the middle of the week breaks up the week; nlso that It does not allow time to travel to family reunions. This year the Canadian Thanksgiving day fell upon Monday. Oct. ?8. THE JEWISH THANKSGIVING. The day In the Jewish calendar that mostly corresponds with our American Thanksgiving is that of Purlin, which is In commemoration of the saving of the Jews lit Persia from Hainan, men tinned in the book of Esther. The fes tival falls on the 14th of the Jewish month Adar. This usually places it in March, but on account of the extra month thrown Into Jewish leap years the date varies. Purim Is a day of thanksgiving with the Hebrews. It Is a day of great general rejoicing and re ligious observance. It Is nlso the oc casion for family reunions and for giv ing presents to relatives nnd friends. See our display of Matting Covered Hoxes for shoes, skirts and waists.

Then Just think how distressing It must be to have a cough hang on for three months. Mrs. Maria Primrose, of 87 Newell Street, Prooklyn, N. Y., says: "I had a very heavy cold whlck settled into a chronic cough, which kept me awake nights for fully three month.s, nnd felt tired all the time because my rest was broken so much. The effect of taking your cod liver and Iron rem edy, Vlnol, is that my cough Is gone. I can now get a good night's rest, and I feel much stronger in every way." It Is the combined action of tho medicinal elemonts, cods' livers, aided by tho blood-making and strength creating properties of tonic iron which makes Vlnol so ofTlelent In curing chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis ?at tho same tlmo building up tho weakened, run-down system. Try a bottle of Vlnol, with tho un derstanding that your money will bo returned If It does not help you. I. \ t It I. ,N S II IM I. CO. Laurens, S. ('.
