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.

BRAINS DULLED BY j
CONSTIPATION.
Some People Only Half Alive; Dodson's
Liver Tone lleans You Out and
Wakes You tp.
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.
Get a bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone for only 50c and learn for yourself
how easily and naturally it assists
Nature in getting rid of and
correcting constipation and biliousness,
how it clears away the sick
headache and coated tongue and sets
you right without ache or gripe,
without any interference with your
regular habits. 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.

Most Prompt and Effectual Cure for i
Bad Colds.
When you have a bad cold you
want f remedy that will not only |
give relief but effect a prompt and
permanent cure, a remedy that is
pleasant to take, a remedy that contains
nothing injurious. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy meets all these
requirements. It acts on nature's
plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration,
opens the secretions and
restores the system to a healthy 1
condition. This remedy has a world- Ij
wide sale and can always be depend- I
ed upon. Sold by all dealers. |jj
Chicago has twice as many tele- jjj
phones as London and still every- 1
thing has not been said. (jj
Healtb a Factor In Success. |
The largest factor contributing to I
a man's success is undoubtedly I
fiealth. It has been observed that a I
noan is seldom sick when his bowels I
ire regular?he is never well when I
:hev are constipated. For constipadon
you will find nothing quite so
rood as Chamberlain's Tablets. They
ict only move the bowels but im- !
Drove the appetite and strengthen !
;he digestion. They are sold by all
