ALFRED JENKINS HANGED
(iecrgetowo Negro Rapist Paid Penalty
h| tor His Heinous triroe
lieorgetowi. At:_r >" 13:?Alfred
Jenkins. the ?i-i:: ooy who was convicted
of attempted tape and who
v has siuce confessed fully as to his
guilt, was hanged here today at 9:30
o'clock a ni.
Life wa? pronounced extinct in
sixteen minutes. The execution
passed off promptly without a hitch.
|Al There were about 200 witnesses. The
crime was attempted upon the person
of a lady school teacher on the
rx>wer Waccamaw river on the 17th
K. of June last. A special term of
& court was held on July 27, Judge
John S Wilson presiding, and Jenk
ins was sentenced to be hanged AuW
gust 13. Thus the crime has been
expiated on the gallows, the law
fnllu and the citizenship
of Couwav, the home of the teacher,
.? '
and of Georgetown, lemains without
tile awful blot of a lynching, which
at one time seemed immii:tnt.
Following is the account of the
execution given by the Georgetown
Times:
Quite a number of people were in
town yesterday to see the brute,
"Slippery Joint," pay the penalty of
bie dark deeds. Everything was
^ peaceful and the noose titted tight.
There was nothing slippery about
that.
The gallows on which this wretch
was executed was simply made, consisting
of two upright pieces aud a
cross beam, from the centre of which
.
a rope dangled. Wheu the noose was
adjusted around the doomed man's
neck,the lever was pulled and?there
you are, quicker'n Jack Robinson!
Slippery was very calm and composed
throughout, and while ou the
platform, when his legs were being
pinioned, looked all about him. Rev
Hood (col) made a short prayer for
the doomed wretch while on the
-platform and under the dangliDg
*noose: then, while the sheriff was
putting on the black cap, the wretch
uttered a prayer, but it was hardly
| distinguishable ten feet away from
scaffold. All of this took place
about 9:30 o'clock.
The scaffold looked like this, of a
dull black color:

i The body of the man who was
hanged was turned over to his relatives
after the doctors had pronouno,
ed life extinct.
Sheriff Scrry a nd Deputy Ward
managed the whole affair iu a very
creditable manner.

j THE HOUSE FLY NUISANCE.
Rules for Dealing with Insect PestHow
to Kilt Flies
Realizing the menace to health i
!
| caused by the bouse fly in dissemi(
natiug disease the Merchants' Asso J
iciatiou ??f New York has sent out j
, all over the country a placard bear- j
ling the title, "Rules for I>ealing|
with the Fly Nuisance.'' It is ear-.1
nestly hoped that this war of exter-j
mination by removing the conditions
upon which it thrives will check the
j ravagi a upon the lieulth and peace |
! of mind of mankind wrought by this j
| pestiferous insect. The placard re-1
ferred to contains the following
| rules:
Keep the flies away from the sick,
especially those ill with contagious
diseases. Kill every fly that strays
into the sick room. His body is j
! covered with disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material of j
any sort to accumulate on or near '
your premises. 1
All refuse which tends iu any way '
i to fermentation, such as bedding
straw, paper waste and vegetable
! matter, should be disposed of or covered
with lime or kerosene oil.

k?';iCCli ail lUVUj n uvvuv> ?
house or exposed for sale.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the caus clean- (
ed or sprinkled with oil or lime. <
Keep all stable manure in vault or 1
pit screened or sprinkled with lime,
oil or other cheap preparations, such 1
as are sold by a number^)f reliable
manufacturers. i
See that your sewage system is in
good ordet; that it does not leak, is i
up to date and not exposed to flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains. j
Bum or bury all table refuse. i
Screen all windows and doors, especially
in the kitchen and dining
room.
If you see flies, you may be sure j
that their breeding placets in nearby
filth. It may be behind the door, i
under the table or in the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt or filth there |
will be no flies.
If there is a nuisance write at s
once to the health department.
To Kill Flies:
The Loudon "Laucet", the lead- *
moflinal imirnal of the world.
4 lJb j -- ?- says
that the best and simplest fly- {
killer is a weak solution of formaldehyde
in water (two teaspoonfuls to '
the pint). Place in plates or saucers
throughout the house. Ten cents '
woith of formaldehyde will last au
ordinary family all summer. It has '
j no offensive smell, is fatal to disease
organisms and is practically non- '
poisonous except so insects.
Pyrethrum powder, waich may be '
bought at any drug store, burned in
the house will also kill the flies. !
For indigestion and all stomach *
trouble take Foley's Orino Laxative,
as it stimulates the stomach and liver i
aud regulates the bowels and will
positively cure habitual constipation. .

| Nervous
Collapse
"I have traveled for thirty
years continually. I lost a great
deal of sleep, which together
with constant worry left me in
such a nervous state that finally,
after having two collapses of
nervous prostration, I was
obliged to give up traveling altogether.
I doctored continually
but with no relief. Dr. Miles'
Nervine came to my rescue?I
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved me.
Whenever I am particularly
nervous a few doses relieve me."
A. G. C. LIBBY, Wells, Me.
There are many nervous
wrecks. There is nervous pros- j j
tration of the stomach, of the i
bowels, and other organs. The
brain, the kidneys, the liver, the
nerve centers are all exhausted.
There is but one thing to dobuild
up the nervous system by
the use of Dr. Miles' Restorative
Nervine. Its strengthening
influence upon the nervous
system restores normal
action to the organs, and when
they all work in harmony, health
is assured. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all according
to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
