bullets.
The dead negro owned considerable
property in Abbeville county, where
he was engaged in farming. He was
said to have amassed a fortune of
$20,000.
The negro cursed and otherwise
abused an Abbeville merchant this
morning and a crowd gathered to in?

being made the negro struck M. B.
Cann, one of the crowd, on the head
with a hammer, inflicting a serious
wound. The crowd gave Crawford

BIG FIRE AT ORANGEBURG.
STATU COLOHFD COLLEGE LOSES
MAIN DOKMITOKY.
?OffHU Hall Was Vulucd at $30,000
With Hall' or Value Covered by In
smiiiiee?-No Students Injured.
Orangeburg, Oct. 11.?The main
dormitory at the State Colored col?
lege, known aa Morrill hall, was de?
stroyed by lire at 8:45 o'clock to?
night. The building was of wooden
construction and five stories in
height. It was the last wooden
building at the college, the others
having been destroyed by tire. Three
buildings have been burned in the
last four years. Last year the col?
lege suffered a heavy loss by fire and
two brick dormitories have just been
completed to replace burned build?
ings.
In the building burned tonight
were the auditorium, the chemical
laboratory, most of the class rooms
and 150 rooms for students. None
of the students was injured. Some
of the furniture was saved and
many of the students escaped with a
portion of their personal effects.
It is thought that the fire was of
incendiary origin. It started in an
unused room on the fifth floor where
there were no electric fixtures or
radiator.
The building was valued at $30,000
with $15.000 insurance. I'ntil recent?
ly the building was Insured in the
sum of $25,000, but as it was the only
remaining wooden building in the
college plant the insurance com?
panies some time ago declined to re?
insure it for more than $15,000.

WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD
KNOW TODAY.
Food for Thought?Message to Wo?
men from One Who Would Spread
the Truth.
"It seems ordained that woman
shall suffer and bear to the end of
time and every woman's life seems to
have more than its share of big and
j little sufferings," writes Mrs. Nanle
I Nicholson of 27 Lake St., Greenville,
S. C.
"Women are so constituted that
they are always in need of some kind
of medical attention and if only some
i thing could be found, to make and
keep women well and strong, some?
thing that would not just stimulate
! temporarily but effect a sure steady
healing every day, how grateful wo?
men would be for it."
"And I believe that something has
been found in Sulferro-Sol. I myself
had the most awful kidney trouble
and pains in my back for five years.
Every woman knows what this means.
1 "I tried physicians and numberless
remedies but kept right on suffering.
Then I heard of Sulferro-Sol the won?
derful mineral tonic and began using
if. In five days I could feel that It
was reaching tho seat of my trouble
and I gained wonderfully.
'"Now after using two full bottles I
am woll and free from all, pain and
t honestily feel that Sulferro-Sol Is a
God-send to suffering women. Its
benefits to me were beyond belief.*' f
