London, June 25?Midnight.?King Edward's condition tonight is even more satisfactory than has been indi cated by the last bulletin. He has made a decided improvement and the feeling at Buckingham Palace is very hopefuL His Majesty is able to take nourishment ; he had some scrambled eggs and a little hock and soda this evening and with his own hands he opened several telegrams. The following statement was made on the highest medical authority : "Until the tubes now draining the cavity of the. abscess have been with drawn it will be impossible to feel certain that the King Will pull through. What his physicans now have to fear is that peritonitis or hemorrhage may supervene. There most always be this danger in such, cases. Again, it is a fact that an abscess due to Perityphlitis may hav? a fatal, issue without any warning symptoms. All of the indications are often masked until the post mor tem, and there are many cases on record where the disease was only discovered after death from an extraneous cause, such as an accident. At any rate, the King's grave illness must invalid him for a long time." The King's mind is entirely clear, and it is his wish that the arrange ments for the dinner to about 500,000 of the poor of London on July 5 be proceeded with. The dinner involves the employemnt of over 6,800 stewards, ah army of waiters and 1,500 music hall entertainers. The dinner will be given. London, June 26?Midnight.?Those around King Edward are astonished at his rapid recovery. The slightly annoying symptoms mentioned in the bulletin issued at 11 o'clock tonight are quite inconsequential when com pared to the fact, which has since been learned, that his majesty again took' food tonight and was afterward allowed to smoke a cigar. Queen Alexandra sat with her husband all the evening and only left him after he had fallen into a peaceful sleep. Vacation Days. Vacation time is here and the children are fairly living out of doors.

J. S. Hughson & Co. MILLAR?"lEe'w"lL HANS. How he Murdered a Pretty Young Lady in Church. Atlanta, June 26.?Millard Lee will have to swing for the murder of pret ty Miss Lilla Suttle, in Walez Chapel church at Ben Hill, unless the su preme court interferes, which is not thought likely. The trial of the case was concluded yesterday afternoon, when the jury returned a verdict of guilty, without recommendation. Judge Candler immediately sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on July 21. Lee has undergone the trying or deals of two trials in as many weeks? the first to test his sanity, and the second in the vain effort to save his neck. He was infatuated with Miss Suttles, who repelled his advances, because, it was stated, she considered her station above that of Lee. On the fatal Sunday Lee went to the quiet church at Ben Hill, and sat close behind Miss Suttles. After the benediction, he approached the group in which she stood, and calling her to one side asked to take ber home. She replied that she had company, and turned to join the group. "If I can't take you, no one else will," he cried, and shot her. With a scream she ran toward her father, and Lee shot again, the ball almost penetrating her body. With the cry, "Oh, papa," she fell into her fa ther's arms and died. Lee escaped and was captured the next morning near Walton, in Cobb county, and brought to the Atltanta jail. Brain-Food Nonsense. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authori ties. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain another for muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nour ish a particular part of the body, but it will sustain every other part. Yet, how ever good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Green's August Flower, the favor ite medicine of the healthy millions. A few, doses aids digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy action, purifies the blood, and makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get this reliable remedy at DeLorine's Pharmacy or Sumter Pharmacy. Get Green's Special Almajo. Jim Tillman was "Tired." Jim Tillman and some friends took a street car ride in Charleston, the other night. The Charleston Post thus tells the story : "This is Chicory Park, the damned est longest ride that I ever got for my money.'' This is the way that Jim Tillman, the parliamentarian, deliver ed himself when the car reached the station at Chicora Park about 10 o'clock last night. He was accompan ied by four friends. They all repeated the remark of Tillman in turn. They were all probably candidates for offices or coat-tail swingers, and they wanted to be in accord with their chieftain. One of the party suggested that sleep ing cars ought to be put on tho run, which seemed to find readv acceptance among the statesmen. Ther^ is no question of the fact that a sleep Crould have proven a good thing for th? en tire party, they needed it. THE COAST LINE SHAKE-UP. Capt. W. N. Royal and Capt. 6. 6. Lynch Both Promoted.

The first division will comprise all of the roads north of Charleston, which prior to July 1, 1902, constitut ed the Atlantic Coast Line railroad.

Next Week the Revenue Repeal Act Goes Into Effect. The revenue repeal act, which re moves all that is left of the war tax, goes into effect on the first day of July, the beginning of the fiscal year. On that date the internal revenue laws will return to the point at which they were at the beginning of the Spanish American war. At the commencement of hostilities Congress, in the endeavor to increase the revenue of the government com mensurate with the increased expenses caused by the enormous outlay in con ducting the war, raised tax on all things already taxed, and taxed things that had not been from the time of the removal of the same after the great civil war. One year ago the tax on beer was reduced from $2 per barrel, with a discount of ll-> per cent., reduc ing it to $1.85 per barrel, with no discount. On the first of July the tax will be 81 per barrel. The stamp tax on bank cheeks, bills of lading, express receipts, telegraph messages and warehouse receipts was repealed last year. There was left a small fraction of the stamp taxes on brokers' contracts, drafts and bills of exchange: all these are now wiped out. Similar action has been taken in regard to cigars, which are put back substantially to the former rates. On manufactured tobacco the tax will be reduced from 9 6-10 to 6c. per pound.
