ACCUSED OF KILLING VETERAN.
Dave and Anna Davis Lodged in
Jail at Chester.
Chester, May 1:?Dave and Anna
Davis, colored, were committed to
jail this morning, charged with the
murder of the aged and well-to-do
- farmer and Confederate veteran. John
Q Lewis, in the Cornwell section last
Thursday night, and Buster Sliealey,
a young negro man, was also arrested
and brought along as a material j
witness in the case.
For -several days Sheriff Colvin,
Deputy Sheriff W W Bindeman and
two detectives sent here by Govern- j
or Blease have been working on a
clue that was developed Monday in
Rock Hill by Mr Bindeman. and last
night the trap was sprung and the
arrests made
While the evidence against the accused
is purely circumstantial thus

ceptionally strong and believe that
certain lines along which they are i
working will result in the finding of j
other valuable evidence even stronger
than that now in hand.
As indications of the Davis negroes'
guilt, the officers last night
seized certain grips, in which iheac*
cused had packed certain of their belongings
and which they had carefully
hid away in an empty house as
if mating ready to flee upon the
slightest premonition of danger. Last
night Mr Bindeman crawled into this
house, seized the grips ana snoruy }
afterward Davis and the woman were j
taken into custody. They were in
their house asleep, but the fact that
their grips were packed and in the va- ^
cant cabin some distance away would 4
tend, say the officers, to show that
they were in readiness to fly.
Shealey testified that the negroes
of the neighborhood were at an "egg
cracking" on the night of Mr Lewis'
murder and that between the hours I
of 10 and 11 Dave Davis and the
woman withdrew, the latter tapping I
him (Shealey) on the knee as the!
two were going out of the door and
telling him not to mention the fact
that she had gone.
When confronted by the woman,
1 ' 1 * 4
SheaieystucKto mssuu?uitriii,i,iiuu&ii i
bitterly denounced by the woman, |
and later his statement was verged
by two young negro girls who said
they had overheard the remark.
Coroner J Henry Gladden is summoning
all of the witnesses in the
case and the inquest will be resumed
at the court house to-morrow morning.
An immense crowd will probably
be on hand, as the county is
highly exercised over the crime.
Haphazard County Making.
Agitations have Deen siarcea in
two or three localities for the establishment
of new counties out of the
territory of the existing counties.
Has not the time arrived in the
growth of the State when the organization
of a new county should not be
left wholly to local interest and whim?
In numbers of cases new county
movements are born in the commerIcial
aspirations of a small town. The
embryo develops into a weekly newspaper.
The newspaper is dependent
mainly on local support and legal
and public advertising are an important
nart of its revenues.
Many a newspaper in the past
twenty-five years has begun publication
following a new county suggestion
and with the failure of the movement
has died and been forgotten.
In most cases the establishment of
new counties since 1876 has been '
wise. In 1876 the number of coun- |
ties was,we believe,thirty-two. Now
it is forty-four. Transportation facilities
have immensely multiplied
since that day and now the average
rural dweller is much closer to his
court house than he was then and
this would be true even had no new
counties been created. In some in- i
stances it is prcbable that the new
counties have increased public exq
^orrocnnnHino* in- !
pCUvTV O YVIVIIVUV U W4 ? VVI^VMiaaM^ >
crease of public advantage.
The State would not go so far as 1
to say that the formation of new 1
counties should be stopped, but the
time has come when each case should 1
be investigated by a commission of
outsiders who with open minds could
consider all the interests involved
and make recommendations that;
would tend to prevent haphazard 1
slashing of territory. j <
The present method of creating <
new counties is as wise as it would 1
be to permit half a dozen tailors to
cutfor fat men and lean men,children 1
and adults,or overcoats and trousers, 11
"weskits" and swallow-tails from the, I

TILL'.SAN' OFFERS LITTLE HOPE.
V eils Cotton Mill "Ian Senate Unlikely
to Change Tarlif Bill.
Washington, May o.?Senator T iltnan
nas just sent the lollowini* 'letter
to Mr T M Norris, a prominent
cotton manufacturer of Cateechee.
"Mr Dear Mr Norris: I have yours
I\f Anvil !lll an/1 almost puprv ontton
mill man in the State has bombarded
me with telegrams yesterday and last
night. 1 presented them in the Senate
this morning as petitions and they
were referred to the Finance committee
which deals with the tariff schedules.
"I am afraid there is little or no
prospect for help in the Senate to
change the tariff bill as it will come
from the House. But the Democratic
party is committed to tariff revision
downward, and if we are going
to have soup houses and a general
shut-down the sooner the letter.
"I am urging my colleagues to
pass the bill promptly and get it on
the statute books in order to let the
medicine begin to work. I do not
believe that such disastrous times as
you seem to anticipate will come. I
think you must be influenced by your
Northern correspondents who are in

Best Medicine for Colds
When a druggist recommends a
remedy for colds, throat and lung
troubles, you can feel sure that he
knows what he is talking about. C
Lower, Druggist, of Marion, Ohio,
writes of Dr King's New Discovery:
"1 know Dr King's New Discovery
i? tha thrnat and lunc medicine
I sell. It cured my wife of a severe
bronchial cold after all other remedies
failed." It will do the same for
you if you are suffering with a cold
or any bronchial, throat or lung
cough. Keep a bottle on hand all
the time for everyone in the family
to use. It is a home doctor. Price
50c and $1.00. Guaranteed by Kingstree
Drug Co and M L Allen, adv
That Pine Bark Stew.
At a recent meeting of the Knights
of Pythias it was decided to have a
fish stew on the Pee Dee, possibly
during the light nights in May. The
boys who attended the convention
over at Kingstree last week brought
back such glowing accounts of the
entertainment at the fish stew on
the "Wee Nee" river, when Jim
Epps surpassed all records in preparing
stews,that the local lodge has
decided to hold a picnic. .Those who
are Knights will have a fine time and
will spare no means in making the
affair complete. They do not believe
in doing things by halves.?Midline

Some Cow This.
Several days ago a cow belonging
to Henry Jones on the plantation of
J K Broadhurst, in Laurens county,
3a,gave birth to three calves, all of
them healthy and doing well.
One of the calves was born during
the afternoon of March 30, and the
next morning the other two were
born. Two of the calves are females,
the other being a male, and all are
3f the same color.
There is more Catarrh in this section of the
:ountry than all other diseases put together, and
jntil the last few years was supposed to be incur?ble.
For a great many years doctors pronounced

rrMtmenLnrnnminrw) it incurable. Science has
proven Catarrrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

From 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on
