how some Barnwell tricksters tried to
defrard the State out of a reward
for murderer, and in another
column on this page will be found the
sequel to the governors prompt

will be disbarred from the practice OF
law, even if he does not go to the peni-
Tertiary, and it is very probable that
all the ccrspirators will be punished

clans and "getting no better, but rather
worse" when right at hand there's remedy
which says it can help them because 1t has
helped thousands like them. "Another

Yes-but not of the ordinary sort: The
medicine is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, and it's different from the ordl-
nary nostrums in this:-
It does what it claims to do, or 1t costs yoI
nothing!
The way is this: You pay your druggist
100 for a bottle. You read the directions
and you follow them. You get better, OF
YOU don't. If you do you buy another bot
tie, and perhaps another. If you don't get
better, you get your money back. And tue
queer thing is that so rlany people are viii

What is ScrofuIa

Itis that inpurity in the blood, which, accumu-
lattng IN the glands Of the neck, produces un-
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs. or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose often
causing blindness or deafness; which IS the origin
Of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to humors."
It's more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone. for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient
1t the most general Of all diseases or affections
for very few persons entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla which, by the cures it has accomplished
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequalled. and some OF the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. If you
suffer from scrotula in any Of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla trial.

THE BARNWELL PERJURERS.

After a Thor0ughE Investigation OF tue
McFaiI Case at Barnwell, the Attorney
General Recommends an Indictment
for Conspiracy Against all the Parties
to the Effort to Secure an Unearned
Reward From the State.
COLUMBIA, November 10.-Special to
News and Courier: Attorney General Pope
who visited Barnwell yesterday for the pur-
pose stated in the published instructions
to him from Governor Tillman, returned
here this morning, having fulfilled his mis-
sion. His report to the Governor is so ex-
plicit that it needs no explanation, bein g
as follows:
BARNwELL, November Q, 1891.
To His Excellency, the Governor of South
Carolina: In response to your letter Of the
7th inst, requesting me personally to su-
perintend on this day in Barnwell an eX-
animation into recent occurrences touching
reward offered by you for the apprehen-
sion of VIM. NJ. McFail, charged with MUIR
der, and while evading arrest for said al
That on this morning I proceeded to
Barnwell and made investigation into the
matters referred to me with the following
results:
T became thoroughly convinced that the
cause of good government in this State re-
quired that an indictment for conspiracy
should be preferred against the elder Nc
Fail, G. W. II. Williams, and Fl. H. Hill.
Second was thoroughly satisfied that
an indictment for perjury should be hand
ed out against G. W. N. Williams and A.
| McFail
The indictment referred to in the first
clause of the second paragraph of this COM
| munication will come before the grand jury
on tomorrow.
The conduct of the sheriff, Mr. Lancaster,
which you requested me to investigate at
the same time, was inquired into, and
am satisfied that no steps should be taken
against him, for in the first place he tried
to arrest McFail, even going so far as to Of
fer the sum Of fifty dollars from his own
means to accomplish this result.
In the second place, no act on his part,
in relation to the alleged arrest Of w. l..
McFail by H. H. Hill. can be objected to
except giving the certificate of the said ar
rest, and in this last matter he declined to
give such certificate until his attorney, q
very highly esteemed and gifted lawyer Of
the Barnwell bar, had recommended such
course for his adoption. Under such cir
cumstances repeat. no proceeding should
be had against the sheriff.
I would i'll discharge my duty in the
premises if I neglected to bear testimony to
the cordial cooperation of the most worthy
solicitor of Sthe I'd circuit, Mr.. Vim. Perry
Murphy, and as we'll to his ability as coun-
sci.
Respectfully, ETC.,

wishes and allowed the arrest made that l
might get the reward. This was done at

Big Kansas Orchard.

It has been said that the largest apple
orchard in the United States is the
Wheat Wellhouse orchard, Leavenworth
county, Kas. Wheat and Wellhouse have
437 acres devoted to apples, but they have
three different orchards. J. w. Parker
has an apple orchard of 400 acres within
three miles of Atchison, and another of
500 acres devoted to forest trees; white
oak, hickory, walnut, etc. There is a
great rush of late to plant apple orchards
in Kansas, the business having proved
very profitable in the case of Wheat and
Wellhouse. Mr.. Parker's Linn county
orchard is so extensive that the NJ. K.
& T.. has built station on his farm,
which is known as Parker. One quarter
section of the land is devoted to walnut
trees, sixty acres to catalpas, twenty acres
to chestnuts and twenty acres to pecans.
The walnuts, chestnuts and hickories
were grown from nuts, and the seed.
All the trees are thriving, and the place
is one of the marvels of Kansas AtcAisou
Globe.

statements. We could fill this paper
with other citations of similar conclu-

1t is not for an instant true that "more
confederates died relatively" than Union
prisoners. The statistics of the war show
that there were 188,145 Union soldiers
captured by the rebels during the war.
OF these the war department has knowl-
edge of the deaths of 36,4O1. It has
reason to suppose. however, that fully
double that number actually did die,
because its records of deaths in rebel
prisons is exceedingly imperfect and pos
sibly does not comprise half the number.
One of the estimates from the depart

71,0OO which would be over 81 per cent of
the entire number captured.
