? EASY MARK.
A
SUCK SWINDLER RELIEVES CONFIDES'G
CITIZEN OF HIS ROLLHOW
IT WAS DONE.
Sumter, April 8:?There are some
easy marks i n Sumter, it seems. Recently
a clairvoyant and palmist,giving
his name as Prof J A Goodwin,
^^H^me here and advertised that he
w ^was born under a double veil and
could foretell the future of human
kind, and for a fee would aid you to
marry the one of your choice; te reunite
lovers; to aid you in business
and lawsuits; to aid in making investments.
He opened up parlors
and for 12 hours a day was kept
busy serving- those who wanted to
peep into the future.
One of his specialties was aiding in
the making of investments. Rumor
has it that he numbers several among
his victims. This much is certain:
He succeeded in relieving one party
of the handsome sum of $700. Report
has it that this party visited
the "Professor's" parlors and gave
him a fee to assist in making an in'
vestment. The victim was required
to bring his money to the "Professor"
that he might handle its every
piece, and give it good luck.
On the first visit the money was
taken by the swindler and each bill
was passed through his fingers. The
money was then wrapped up and
clipped into a pitcher; was taken out
and left over night in the victim's
safe. Next day it was opened and
v\ was materially increased. The vic''
tira's eyes locked like saucers when
he saw what had been done.
The operation was repeated the
next night and there was another increase.
The victim seemed to have
some doubt &bout it and the swindler
took a ten-dollar bill from the
bundle and sent him to the bank to
get it changed. It passed muster at
the bank.
This operation was continued till
the* sum was increased to $1,300.
whole sum was taken and
WTapped up by the swindler, wl o
fcjok the bundle and passed it around
head and thrust it into the pitcher
again, all the time muttering unintelligible
mystic words. He was
aided by a confederate who assisted
in the incantations.
The package was again given to
to the victim with the injunction not
to open it tili a certain time. It was
carefully put away in the safe and
carefully guarded till the time set
(for opening.
When that time came, the package
was taken out and opened. Imagine
the disappointment of the victim
when he found his good money
had turned to worthless brown paper.
'
The victim went out to find the
swindler, but found that he had departed
between suns, taking himself
1 to parts unknown.?Columbia hcc.

There are yet farmers living here
who buy corn and hay and flour
^ from the West! What does this
mean? It means that the money
that ought to go to the education
of your child en, money that ought
to be used in improving your homes,
money that ought to be used to
build that sandclay road which you
didn't come to town on today, is
I being used in those far Western
States to educate people whose acquaintance
you will never enjoy;
, to make beautiful homes you will
never live in and to build roads you
will never ride over.? T B Parker,
in Raleigh (.V. C.) Progressive
Farmer and Gazette.
One Conductor Wbo Was Cured
Mr Wilford Adams is his name,
and he writes about it.?"Some
time ago I was confined to my bed
wUi chronic rheumatism. I used
twd bottles of Foley's Kidney
Remedy with good effect, and the
third bottle put me on my feet and
I resumed work as conductor on the

medicine I had ever used, and it
will do all you claim in case
of rheumatism." Foley's Kidney
Remedy cures rheumatism by
eliminating the uric acid from the
blood.

COUNT Y AND TOWNS GET MONEY
Due from Late County Dlspensa
rles?Over $14,000 Profits Paid In.
At last the Williamsburg county
dispensary "system has been
"wound up" and the balance of the
profits turned over to the towns and
the county, where the money rightfully
belongs.
Mr G H Charles, Auditor West's
deputy, was here last week a"nd
approved the final report of the
county dispensary board, formally
relieving them from further performing
the functions of their office.
After providing for all outstanding
claims there was left on hand
a balance of $14,303.70, to be apportioned
as follows:
Schools $4,767.90
Ordinary County 4,767.90
Town of Kingstree $2,198.12
Lake City 2,066.38
Scranton 503.40
$4,767.90
This money, which has been tied
up for so long, will replenish for
a while, at least, the depleted
treasuries of the county and the
towns that come in for a share.
Tbe Demon of The Air
is the germ of LaGrippe, that,
breathed in, brings suffering to
thousands. Its after effects are
weakness, nervousness, lack of appetite,
energy and ambition, with
disordered liver and kidneys. The
greatest need then is Electric
Bitters, the splendid tonic, blood
purifier and regulator of Stomach,
Liver and Kidneys. Thousands
have proved that they wonderfully
strengthen the nerves, build up the
system and restore health and good
spirits after an attack of Grip. If
suffering, try them. Only 50c.
