MURDER IX MARLBORO. Mr. Gilbert Struck With Lightwood Knot by a Negro and Will Probably Bingham, February 1.-News came here last night of a shocking affair wftfch occurred yesterday about noon on A, L. Calhoun's Donohue plantation, in^?Sarlboro county. From the mea? gre reports here it seems that Mr. Calhor&n's plantation overseer. Mr. Gilbert, became dissatisfied at some work a negro laborer (whose name was not learned) had done, and a dis? pute arose, when the latter, with a heavy pine knot, dealt Mr. Gilbert a severe blow on the head which crush? ed his skull, and which is reported will necessarily prove fatal. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than an other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro? nounced it a local disease and pre? scribed local remedies, and hy con? stantly failing to cure with local treat? ment? pronuonced it incurable. Science has" proven catarrh to be a constitu? tional disease and therefore re? quires treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

Curing Hams. Southern hams are winning a high place among the most critical epicures of the North. The inquiry grows more frequent for them, and it is now pret? ty well settled that the best hams are those from "Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky,' and they are cured in the country meat houses. How is this done? After the meat has lain in salt for six weeks the hams are rubbed on the fleshy side with powdered borax to protect them from the bugs and hung up in a dark, close house, the darker the better. Ten pounds of borax , will be eough .for 1,000 pounds cf meat. After hanging three or four days fires made of hickery wood are built on the floor of the meathouse. These fires should be warm, not hot, carrying the temperature up to say 85" degrees, and they should be kept up for, five ox six weeks or more. 'The. smoke from hickory wood gives a del? icate "yellowish color to the meat and makes it attractive. If the borax is not used the hams, before the appear? ance of the skipper flies, should be taken down from the tier poles, rub? bed with freshly powdered black pep? per on the fleshy side, wrapped first in paper and then canvased. The canvas covering may be dipped in a mixture made of powdered barytes and water, or in the absence of this lime water will answer. These exclude the air and are repeliant "to bugs . and flies. Treated in this way, hams may be kept for many years, and to some persons they grow better and better, like wine with age. It is not neces? sary, however, to take them down from the tier pole if they are well rubbed with bjiax before the advent of thefSy.-Southern Farm Magazine. x Common Colds are the Cause of Many Serious Diseases. ^Physicians who have gained na? tional reputation as analysts of the cause of various diseases, claim that if catching cold could be avoided a long list -^f dangerous ailments would never be heard of.

Do not risk your life or take chances when you have a cold. Chamberlain's Cougn Remedy will cure it before these diseases develop.

Committee of Sumter Motor Club Makes Strong Arguments Before tte Senate Committee. THE GREEN BILL TO BE AMENDED. Sumter Motorists do Not Object to Reasonable Laws to Restrain Reckless Motorists and They Make Suggestions to Senate Committee How to Amend thc Green Bill. From The Daily It-am February 2. The committe of the Sumter Motor club which went to Columbia yester? day to appear before the Senate com? mittee on roads, bridges and ferries for the purpose of making known the objection that automobilists have to the Green Anti-Automobile bill was given a hearing at 3:30 o'clock. At the outset the motor club com? mittee ha'd it cleary understood that they were not fighting the bill as a whole but only certain drastic and un? fair provisions contained in it. The Sumter Motor club is not opposed to fair and reasonable regulation, but on the contrary advocate and will use its utmost endeavors to enforce all rea? sonable laws to prevent reckless driv? ing of motor cars on the public high? ways. The unreasonable and, in the opin? ion of automobilists, injurious and un" fair sections of the Green bill were pointed out' to the Senate committee, and the reasons for objecting to them clearly stated. Dr. Mood, for the Sumter Motor club, suggested several amendments to the bill, which will, if accepted and incorporated in it, go far toward ac? complishing the end desired, and will protect the public against reckless and inconsiderate automobilists, while n6t interfering with those who use the public highways in a lawful man? ner. Mayor Dick, who went as a member of the committee, stated he appeared in a dual capacity-he. was not a mem? ber of the Sumter Motor club and did not own a machine, yet he represent? ed the automobilists on this occasion, and would ask in their behalf that no drastic law be enacted that would ren? der practically valueless the $100,000 worth of automobiles owned by citi? zens of Sumter. These machines had been purchased under the impression that a man had as much right to ride cn a public highway in a motor ca?? as in a buggy, and that in Sumter au? tomobiles are not toys or mere pleas? ure vehicles, but are valuable and nec? essary adjuncts to business. If the are restricted in the use of the public roads by drastic and unreasonably se? vere legislation the owners of auto? mobiles will be put to heavy financial loss and great inconvenience. Besides the heavy investment al? ready made in automobiles by citizens of Sumter, there are now under con? sideration plans to establish a factory there for the manufacture of automo? biles, which are certain to come more largely into use each year, as they are becoming more and more a necessity. . He, as the mayor of Sumter, woulC re? gret to see any law passed that would inflict a loss on the citizens of the town, or that would have atendency to discourage the establishment of an enterprise of so 'great promise as an automobile factory" would be. Representative W. McD. Green, of Lee county, thc author of the bill, at? tended tho hearing and participated in the discussion. He readily con of ceveral of the features most objected several of the features most objected to and the incorporation in it of sev? eral of the suggested amendments. The Motor club committee had ev? ery reason to be satisfied with the re? sult of the hearing, and they returned home feeling that the bill that will be I finally adopted will be fair, just and unobjectionable.

In that winter 1 went to school from December until March barefoot, with nothing on but linen pants and a cot? ton shirt. And it was so hot some? times during recess that I took off my shirt.
