THE INCENDIARY'S TORCH.
Burning of the Bar .and Stable of J. P.
Cook, Near Prosperity.
PROSPERITY, Feb. S.-On Saturday
night about 12 o'clock, incendiaries set
fire to the corn crib and stable of J. P.
Cook who lives near here. The build
ing contained all of his corn and fod
der, which was entirely destroyed.
Mr. Cook is a Uuited States deputy
marshal and was attending court in
Greenville. Mrs. Cook and her little
ones were at home. She with great
risk of her life, succeeded in getting
their only horse from the burning
building. Her dress was scorched
badly in this eff'ort.
It is supposed to be a case of revenge
for arresting violators of the revenue
I.ws. Mr Cook has recently arrested
several negroes around here for selling
whiskey without a license, which prob
ably explains the burning. The white
people are much incensed at the out
rage.-The State.

Owing to the pretiy weather the far
mers in this neighborhood have been
making good headway with the plow.
It seems rather early, however, for the
farmers to commence for another crop
oI six cent cotton.

ought to be at work earning their bread

All the Boards of Equalization for Newberry
Bounced.
PROSPERITY, Feb. 6.-"Old thingp
have passed away, and all things have
become new." Thirty-three heads in
Newberry County have fallen in Comp
troller General Ellerbe's official basket
at one fell stroke of his mighty guillo
tine. The chairman of the equalization
board for this township (No. 9) in
formed The State correspondent this
morning, that the auditor for Newber
ry County was instructed by Mr. El
lerbe to appoint new men in every
instance on the township boardsin this
county. The comptroller'., action in this
matter is a direct reflection on the good
men who hitherto composed these im
portant boards, nearly every one of
whom wvere administration men.. May
be they didn't assess the stock of the
New berry Bank to suit him. See?-The
State.
The chairman of the board for No. 9
is mistaken. The Auditor had no in
trutions from the Comptroller Gen
eral to appoint new men, and in mak
ing his appointments he had no inten
tion of offending any one. The
appointments had no reference to the
bank case or any other case. They
were made in December last and pub
lished in all the county papers. That
is all there is in it. See?

A Disflgured Countenance.
Many people who would scarcely
notice an armless or legless man, will
instantly detect and remark on any
blemish of the human face, and dive
into all sorts of speculations as to its
cause and attendant circumstances. If
you doubt this assertion become posses
sed of a discolored optic and note how
miuch attention it will invite. A t>lack
eye is generally avoidable, but blotches,
pimples and other scrofulouis and erup
tive marks steal upon us without warn
ing, and are frequently the first intima
tion of the faict that our blood is going
wrong. A prompt and systematic use
of P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root
and Potassium), will purify the blood,
clease the skin and give back to the
face nature's familiar, ruddy signs of
health. Get it of yr r druggist.
The I. WV. Harper is the finest whis
key on earth. Used in moderation, it is
a sure specific for indigestion, for gen.
eral debility, for insomnia, for mental
depression. It is as fragrant as ripe
fruit and if used in moderation it
lengthens life, adds to our joys and
drives dull care away.
The I. WV. Harper Whbiskey is abso
lutely pure. It is prescribed by the
bet physicians of this country, and
by degrees it is wimnuing a world-wide
reputationl.

Ci,r HIS OWN THROAT.
Suicide of George W. Kildow, Student of
tho Theological Seminary.
[Special to News and Courier.]
COLv.iErA, February .-He cut his
throat from ear to ear! Who? George
W. Kildow.
This is the question and answer that
passed frcm lip to lip this morning
when it was learned that Mr. George
W. Kildow, a student attending the
Theological Seminary here, had com
mitted suioide this morning about 8
o'clock, at the residence of Mr. Barney
Williams, just outside the city limits.
The facts of this horrible tragedy are
as follows:
Mr. Killow retired last night at-he
hour he was accustomed to,and in
apparently good spirits and health.
This morning at 7.30 o'clock his wife
waked up and call to her husband to
get up and make -he fire, as has been
his custom hitherto. Mr. Kild,)w re
mained silent, and thinking him un
usually tired from his studies on the
night previous, she arose and went in
the adjoining room, the kitchen, to
start the fire. She bad been in this
room but a few moments when she
heard a fall in the room she had just
left, and on entering her horror may be
imagined when she beheld the prostrate
body of ber husba3d, stretched at full
length on the floor, with his throat cut
from ear to ear. She immediately
called for help, and raised his head,
thereby endeavoring to stop the flow
of blood, but all in vain. He was
dead.
It seems that Mrs.Kildow had scarcely
left the room when Mr. Kildow arose
took his --azor from underneath his
pillow, and going to the corner of the
room knelt down and made the stroke
which proved im mediately fatal.
The coroner held an inquest this
morning, and the jury rendered the
following verdict: "George W. Kildow
came to his death from a wound across
the throat, inflicted with a razor in his
own hands."
Mr. Kildow was 29 years of age and
has been in atteddance at the Presby
terian Theological Seminary for some
time. Last fall he was sent to Atlanta,
Ga, to be treated for mental aberration
and was recently returned, supposed
to be able to resume his studies here.
The faculty of the Feminary concur in
saying that his sad and untimely end
was due to an unbalanced mind.
Mr. Kildow was from Piedmont, W.
Va., and had recently married Miss
Bena McNaughton, of Nashville, Tenn.
The sympathy of the entire community
is extended to the afflicted wife.
