G. W. TIDWELL, SR., ON TRIAL SFor Murder of Destroyer of Home --"Brain Storm" the Plea. Greenville, May 18:?Temporary insanity will be a plea of the defence in the case of G W Tidwell, Sr, on trial here for his life, charged with killing R Emmett Walker, on the twelfth day of last March. Tidwell, was arraigned yesterday, in the general sessions court, with Judge T J Mauldin presiding. The State is represented by So.icitor Bonham and the firm of Cothran, Dean & Cothran. The defence is representor! k\? Tna-nps F!nrlp and Pripp. Testimony taken today, was partly corroborative of the testimony taken at the Coroner's inquest. The manner of the killing was reviewed. Tidwell took the stand late in the afternoon and was undergoing a severe cross-examination at the hands of Solicitor Bonham. when court adjourned until tomorrow, when he will resume his story. Tidwell told of a note,which caused him to come to Greenville, but denied that the writer of the note had been instructed to watch his wife and daughter. Notwithstanding this fact, the writer sent the note to Cheraw, where Tidwell was at the time. It was also shown that the note could not have reached him had it been mailed at the time he <-aid he presumed it was mailed. Several of the jurors wept when the mother of the dead boy took the stand. Col Dean had this question put to jurors: "If selected as a juror in this case, will you act according to the evidence you hear on the stand and according to the law as explained by the Court, uninfluenced by othor motives?" This, it is said, was to head off the "unwritten law" plea. The jurors are mostly farmers. Eleven of them are married .voen with daughters. Ollie Tidwell, the girl whom the defence charges young Walker seduced, took the stand, but her testimony was cut short when the defence changed its procedure and introduced the defendant. Interest in the ca9e is intense here, as Walker was a member of a prominent family and as the killing took place in such a sensational manner. The killing of Walker was the result of the arrest of Tldwell's wife and laughter in an alleged house of disrepute here March 7, 1914. The women and the two men were in the same room of this house. Tidwell came to Greenville the night *ifter the arrest was made and the following Thursday he went to Carolina Mills, called Walker out and shot him dead. Walker was unarmed at the time. Tidwell, it is claimed, had endeavored to get Wallrar morrv Viia r?nncrhter nnH the other man to marry his wife. Each had refused. ????~ ??? Suttons Sittings.

When constipation is having its ; evil effects on your body and brain, Nature is doing her best to offset I them and overcome the cause itself. I But usually Nature cannot do this I : j_ J ; uuaiueu. In the past,many sufferers at such a time used to turn to dangerous calomel in hope of relief. For some people calomel does appear to give a temporary benefit,but as a matter of fact, it is a poison that proves to be injurious and even dangerous to many. If you ever have taken calomel you probably have suffered from evil conditions following its use. But nowadays great numbers of people have learned how to feel better.brighter and healthier by taking Dodson's Liver Tone instead of calomel. Indeed,this harmless vegetable liquid is recommended by Dr W V Brockington, who will refund the purchase price to you without question if vou are not completely satis fied with it.

Fine for the children. They like to take it. PERJURY IN FRANK CASE. Grand Jury May Start Probe of Charges. Atlanta, May 17:?Investigation of perjury charges made in connection with efforts to obtain a new trial for Leo M Frank, under sentence of death for the murder of Mary Phagan, the factory girl, is expected to ^ be made by the Fulton county grand jury,which convenes here tomorrow. It was understood tonight that Suerior Judge Ben H Hill would in- struct the jury to thoroughly look i into the charges. The material evi- " dence will include the many affidav- I its made by witnesses repudiating " their testimony, some of which are also counter repudiations. Hearing of arguments on the defence's motion to annul the verdict against Frank is scheduled to begin Wednesday. The motion is based on the absence of the defendant from the court room at the time of the verdict,which,it was claimed, constituted a violation of his constitutional rights. Frank's attorneys agreed to the absence,which was suggested by the presiding Judge on account of the . reported feeling of the public against the defendant. Their right to take this action is involved in the legal proceedings. A German doctor has discovered ^ a way to cure seasickness. He ought to die a very wealthy man. # Most Prompt and Effectual Cure for i Bad Colds.
