(Continued from page ID o satisfy myself, I would like to ook further into this matter. Then f they are found to he correct, I will ign it.1' One of Dewey's shells could not lave exploded any sooner than it ook Mr Kelley to fly in a rage of nadness and rise from his chair, nuke for the door (mistaking ine or u coward) slum it shut, turn he 1k)1 t, draw the key, put it n his pocket and say, as he tapidly no\ed into the adjoining room, "I'll e that you'll 6ign it and that right iow!" I pat. like a statue in my sann* portion, arms testing on the table, 'hair against the table, knees under he table, a position, in order to rise, equired a backward movement of at east twelve inches. Mr Kellev re9 > uained in that room not more than if teen seconds, when he emerged vith a hickory stick in his hand as ie advanced using these words: "I inppose you are armed?" I replied; 'I am not armed," iMr Kelley i-uIItmI imniMli?telv lu'liind me. ising words that indicated anyhjng else but a "peaceable aud tmicable settlement of that affair." This caused me to turn my head and ook up. I saw the stick raised its ull height in the air, and I saw. too :hat my head was the object aimed it to receive that blow. Mr StYmand, (who is a man) caught its :orce while I at the 6ame time raised ny arm to ward it off. At least four >r five succeeding blows were made before I could relieve myself of this sitting position, but not a blow anded on the object aimed at. rt'hen I rose from my chair and awkward position in which I was pluced, Mr Kelley grappled, and I was pushed against the table, and having lost my balanee fell over Mr Kelley's chair and landed with my left side on the floor below. As I reached the floor Mr Kellev was astride of me his knee landing on my right stomach, from which I am suffering to day. He sat 011 my right hip, my left arm being pinioned nndcr my left side; he grasped my left wrist with his left hand and drove the blows into my face with his right with all his rapidity of motion and power that he could command. On account of my helpless condition, all of those blows were effective except such as I warded off with my right. Could I have ended those blows right there? Yes; if he was not too far gone from the sphere of reason to have heeded "the grand hailing sign of djstress." Did I give it? Never! Tlio' it was the only surviving friend I had in that group. Mr Kdley, in the outset of the affair, seeing an effort on the part of Mr StAmaud to interfere, said: "I command yon to let me alone," It was more than Mr StAmund's nature could stand to stand by and see my head broken with a hickory stick and that without a cause. He caught one or two more blows when Mr Kelley again said: *'1 command you, sir, to let me alone!" Mr StAmand obeyed. Mr LeRoy Lee, who was not an employee, could have stopped the whole affair, but he offered no assistance. After my face was beaten into a pulp, Mr Kelley paused seeming to relent. Mr Lee said: '-That will do now, Captain. Let him up, mav be i be will sign it now." These facts tell of that "friendly meeting." When that famous certificate was igain presented for my signature, tho' it did not contain facts, tho' misleading, tho' type-written and prepared before I ever entered tnat jffice, I signed it. Some one once ?id: "All that a man hath will he jive for his life." I con Id do nothng less. Bnt I wish now to say to the pubic as I am not now under Mr Keller's power, that the examination of hose books was a farce. Qnly Mr St\.mand's were produced from i>c,'ember last to (late and that the itatenient signed after a bloody fight vas not niv statement at all, but the itatement of Mr John A Kelley. Aud now, my frieuds, don't rise iu frimghteous indignation and couiemri me for not striking back. I vas in the power of another, who ras surrounded by his friends. [ have told the truth, and nothing >ut the truth, so help me God. A. M. Snider. ' '-V v MM?Mi ? I IIIIH? NOW That the warm weather has come you'll be looking for comfortable clothes.

Such was the experience of Mrs S H Newson, Decatar, Ala. "For three yrars" she writes, "I enendured insufferable pain from indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed inevitable when doctors and all remedies failed. At leugth I was induced to try Electric Bitters and the result was miraculous. I improved at once and now I'm completely recovered."
