UGH! CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK
Stop Using Dangerous I)rng Before
It Salivates You! It's
Horrible!
You're bilious, sluggish, constipated
and believe you need vile, dangerous
calomel to start your liver and clean
your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a 50 cent bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone and take a spoonful
tonight. If it. doesn't start your liver
and straighten you right up better
than calomel and without griping or
making you sick I want you to go
back to the store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and

Take a spoonful of harmless, vegetable
Dor!son's Liver Tone tonight and
wake up feeling great. It's perfectly
harmless, so give it to your children
any time. It can't salivate, so
let them eat anything afterwards.

LOCKHART JUNCTION
I.ockhurt Junction, Sept. 4.?The
weather is cloudy and cool today.
Well, today was prophesied for the
great railroad strike, hut as I write
j I hear that same distant sound and
blowing of the approaching engtne y?
it comes to the Junction. ! see no
difference yet and I don't believe there
will he any stopping of the trains. The
railroad officials can't afford it, neither
can their employes or operators.
What would it mean to the world at
large to stop transportation or traffic
of the railroad system. It might
means hundreds of suffering or starv- i
ing people. If the strike was only
to last a few days it would be felt
the world over. My dear readers, I
am not so much of an optimist on this
line, you see.
Well, isn't there so much to confuse
the minds of the people, so much
speculation and graft. I thought it
was going to get better, but God
only knows what else is to be talked
of or what is going to happen.
Mr. T. M. Tweed and I went to West
Springs, in Bogansville township.
Sunday, where we attended the singing
convention held at the Baptist
church at that place. This was universal
singing the songs that were
sung from the old singing books.
The name Temple Harp and Christian
Harmony. I noticed a few old books
in the hands of some of those singers
that had been kept by them, but the
backs were worn olf. some of the
leaves torn, but 1 thought about how
sacred that book was to the owner,
even if the hands of long ago hand
worn. Then again those songs were
just as sacred as when they were new.
I will give some of the old names of
the songs. Pisgah, Angel, Band. Je
rusalem, Windham, Hosanna, Greenfield.
Many other old songs, too many
to mention. It would take too much
space.
These singers came from different
parts of the county and many from
Spartanburg county. Several counties
were represented. They sang all parts,
the top line being led by Messrs. T.
.1. West, J. A. Lancaster and II. J.
Shipman of Spartanburg. They sang
the sharp notes and words. The choir
was led by different ones, chosen as
professional singers and leaders, each
one taking his turn as the program
was carried out. Many went as listeners.
I'rof. Clinkscales of Spartanburg
made an appropriate address for the
! occasion.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell that 1
sat with an old gentleman who sang
in the choir. He was 8.'1 years old and
' dn't have to use glasses. I thought
it was remarkable. He could turn to
he pages as quickly as anyone. His
name is W. H. Barnette of Spartanburg.
Now, I will tell you there was a
bountiful dinner served with many
good things to eat, which the good
ladies had prepared.
Mr. and Mrs. George Wood and Dr.
G. W. B. Smith and wife have just
| returned from a trip to Washington.
I Miss Julia Wood of Cherokee county
and Mrs. George Wood of Jonesville
have gone to spend a while in the
mountains of North Carolina.
There will be an ice cream suppe*
at the Gault school house next Saturday
night, the 9th. The public is invited
to come. Boys, bring your girl.
This is for the benefit of the school.
Miss Sarah White and Miss Susie
Cunningham of Chester is upending
the week with their aunt, Mrs. A. I,.

Mr. C. L. Gault and Miss Beulah

by Rev. B. D. Boyd. They leave

MRS. ADAMS TELLS WHY
SHE KILLED CAPT. SPRATLING
Georgia Woman Declares Her I.ove foi
Her Husband Caused Her to
Commit Crime.
Macon, Ga., Sept. 5.?Desperate love
for ber husband and her home was
the chief reason that prompted Mrs.
11. C. Adams, now a prisoner here foi
killing Captain Edgar J. Stripling, to
come to Macon and shoot to death
Captain Spratling, she declared todaj
after a long conference with a press
representative.
"Mr. Adams became so aroused
over my relations with Dr. Spratling
after I had told him, until I decided
the only way I could remedy our differences
was to kill Dr. Spratling,'
Mrs. Adams declared. "Mr. Adams
threatened to quit me and refused tc
listen to any explanations I made.
This drove me insane. I loved him
and tried to think of some plan thai
would settle our differences, but lit
continued to deny every explanatioi
I offered.
"I was determined to stick to m>
husband, regardless of what I had tc
do, and it all ended in the shooting,'
she declared.
Because She Loved Him.
Mrs. Adams said she grieved for
week over the attitude of her husvi"
after she had told him ihat Dr. Sprs.tling
had taken advantage of her hefore
she decided to kill hi p. "If T ha<
not loved my husband as I do 1
would never have told him what Pr
Spratling had done," -die said.
Relating further how she planne
the shooting Mrs. Adams said sh<
went down town and purchased :
pistol on a Saturday morning befcr<
the Friday she came here. After arm
ing herself she said she went to tb.
entrance of the building where Di
Spratling's office was located am
waited around the front, hoping t?
catch the doctor going to or from hi:
office.
"I was determined to kill him oi
sight," she said. "I waited aroun;
the building and across the street un
til 'J o'clock Saturday afternoon, bu
I failed to see him. About 2 o'clo^l
I went to the elevator boy and askec
him if Dr. Spratling had been to hi.office
that day. lie told me the doc
tor was at Camp Harris at Macon. ]
II hen went home more worried thar
ever. On Friday of the next week ]
took money mv husband had left. witV
me to take a trip to Tennessee to see
my father, and came to Macon purposely
to kill Dr. Spratling. And
when I pulled the pistol on him, I fullv
intended to fire every bullet I had
into his body.
Mrs. Adams said the doctor was
seated at a table when she appeared
at his tent. She said she asked foi
Captain Spratling, and as he attempted
to rise she opened fire.
Threatened Separation.
Mrs. Adams declined to say in detail
just how her husband treated her,
She said he threatened to quit her and
often quarreled, after she told him of
the attack.
"I was weak and could not help myself
the day I)r. Spratlinj made the
attack," Mrs. Adams said.
Asked why she finally told her husband
of the attack, Mrs. Adams said
she loved him so dearly and had worried
about it so much, until she concluded
she would be relieved if she
would tell Mr. Adams the whole thing.
Instead of believing her story and taking
the information as she expected,
Mrs. Adams said her husband went to
pieces am/ began to talk about separation.
She complains daily about not being
able to get counsel. She says she
wants an early trial and is confident
that she will be acquitted. She has
received a card and two letters from
her husband this week, but she declines
IZ ipake known the contents oj,
the letters,
She seerris little concerned about
her children, never making any mention
of them. She said on Ort? occasion
that she would like to see them,
