As a result <>f trouble beginning several weeks ago and culminating' Friday night, when Hasel Brunson shot Frank Gadsden at a negro hot supper at Johnny James' lions;1, Prank Gadsden is now in tlx- Bumter hospital suff'-rins from a painful, if not fatal, wound in his side, inflicted by the other negro. It seems from what has been learn-' ? ed of *bi double, that Gadsden and Brunson had been on bad terms for some time because of previous dis I putes, and Friday night when Brun-j son walked into the room where the! I negro frolic was going on and saw Gadsden he immediately started the trouble. Several witnesses said that he had come prepared for the trouble because as soon as he got in the room, he jerked out his gun, and notwith- I standing the fact that the room was crowded at tin- time, fired two shots at Gadsden. Tita first shot hit Gads? den in the side and the Second missed Gadsden and hit Johnny James, the person who was giving the frolic, in the bg, but not indicting a serious wound. Brunson .immediately after ths shooting, took to the road, from Which place he fired another shot at Gadsden as he w is being put in a buggy to be brought to town. Some of those present stated that no ef? fort was made to stop Brunson as he had the others in the house too scar? ed at tin- time to nudest him, they fearing that they too would gel shot. It was stated from the- hospital to? day that Gadsden was resting very well, and that the bullet had been re? moved from his -id ? this morning, and that tin re was no danger of the wound t-eing fatal.

The Facts About Pewa. Is Perm: i an alcoholio beveracre in disguise? Is it possible to use Peruna R8 a substitute for Whiskey 1 Do pec^le buy Peruna and use it as a toddy or fc bitters, 01 ab vr.ccr? It would bo tue easiest tiling in the , orld for any one to demonstrate the if ? ;sity of sucli str-.teinents. Let any one go to the drug store and purchase a bot t s o f Peruna. Let b i in undertake to use it as a beverage, or take this remedy in doses considerably larger tlian those prescribed on the bottle. Would the result bs aicohclic intoxication? Nothing of the sort Let any one try it and see. Peruna is a medical compound quite heavily loaded with medicinal ingred lints. If taken Li doses larger than prescribed it would produce a positive d ug effect No ono could take it as a beverage. If any one doubts these state? ments, try it and see. "We know that Peruna cannot be used as a bever pjjoj that it will not intoxicate; that it cannot be used as a substitute for ii juors. We guarantee that PERUNA CONTAINS NO CHEAP WHISKEY ; C A1IY OTHER WHISKEY, for that matter. It contains a small per cent of cologne spirits, absolutely essential to dis? solve and hold in solution medicinal ingredients, but the drugs contained in Peruna prohibit its use as a beverage. It would be the easiest thing in the world for any one to demonstrate this if they chose to do so, Peruna is sold everywhere. TILE INGREDIENTS ARE PLAINLY PRINTED ON EACH BOTTLE. It has been said over and ever again that enemies have analyzed Peruna and found it to contain only cubebs and v hisk<*v Now we challenge any chemist to demonstrate any ?uch statement. Let any one who has even a smattering knowledge of chemistry purchase a bottle of Peruna and see whether or net it contains whiskey, And out for him* self whether or not it is composed of cheap whiskey and cubebs. Of course, cubebs is one of the ingredients of Peruna, but there are many other ingred* ic-nts. It contains hydrastis canadensis, corydalis formosa, collinsonia, and at least four other medicinal ingredients. To be sure, no chemist could so ana? lyze Peruna as to be able to identify the various medicinal ingredients. This is beyond the ability of any chemist But any ordinary chemist would be able to say that Peruna is heavily loaded with medicinal ingredients of some kind in addition to cubebs. Now why are these statements repeated when their falsity could be so easily demonstrated? Simply because there is continued hostility toward Pe? runa on the part of the medical profession. Very likely the magazines which took up the crusade against Peruna and denounced it as a cheap beverage were misled by statements of the medical profession. Probably they were sincere in their attitude towards it But now, after all these things have been aaid and refuted, it would seem to be in order for such people to use a little fairness and common sense in the matter. Every time any ono says that Peruna is nothing but cheap whiskey and cubebs he is telling a lie, an absolute falsehood. Most people intend to speak the truth. But the prevalent habit of repeating other people's statements, without investigation a3 to their truth, has led many well-meaning people to cay these false things about Peruna, Used according to the directions on the bottle, PERUNA IS A SAFE AND RELIABLE CATARRH RE1EEDY, but, like any other good medicine, it tciken in excess of those dcaes, it will produce drug effects very unpleasant to the person who takes it It is therefore up to every honest person to quit making inch statements concerning Peruna, or acknowledge that he is repeating slanders about which he knows nothing. One might just as well say that Castor Oil is an intoxicant; that if taken in large enough doses it will operate as a "booze." If people never tried to see, but simply repeated such statements about Castor Ofi, the majority of people would come to believe them. It is no easier to demonstrate iu:h a statement about Castor Oil than it would be about Peruna, Any one who takes Pernna knows that such statements are false. To say that Peruna is cheap whiskey and cubebs may constitute good material for jokes on the vaudeville stage, but there is no excuse for any one who pretends to be truthful saying over again this oft-repeated falsehood* LIME.
