SIM REWARD 500

The readers Of the MANNING TINES
will be pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in ali its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation Of the disease. and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for the list of testlmo-
mails. FL. CHENEY Il CO., Toledo, O.

Mr. Thackston's alleged explanation
OF his attempt to get all the public

olence to the cause of Democracy.
Mr.. Mayield's course is clear. TIE

BLOOD NEAR slsHoPVlLLE.
The Editor of the Eagle Murdered and
Another Nan Badly Wounded by
Drunken Reughs Mt Picnic.


CAMDEN, July 5.-Some particulars
of the death of Editor J. D. Shaw,
of the Bishopville Eagle, at a picnic at
Kings Mill, in this county, have been
obtained, although neither tie coro-
nor nor sheriff, who went to the scene
Immediately on receipt Of the first
news have returned.
About 1 P. NJ. the ladies and gen
tlemen were dancing under g gin
house, when Del and Dozier Kelly
ca24e up, cursing and apparently
drunk. They were so offensive that
several persons, among them J. d.
Shaw, Robert 4. Baskins, and j. w.
Gardner, tried to get them to leave and
walked off with them. When about
fifty yards from the gin Dozier Kelly
and J. D. Shaw clinched. The crowd
soon gathered thick around the COM
batants.
When they were separated Shaw
walked of, saying he was cut, and
died in few moments. He had
been stabbed in the left side of his
back with pocket knife. Baskins
was bleeding, and was found to be
cut in nearly the same place by Del
Kelly, and the wound is feared to be
fatal. j. W. Gardner received severe
bruises Oh the arm. Del Kelly was
captured and securely tied to tree,
and was threatened with lynching at
the time my informant left.
Dozier Kelly ran fast, got a gun out
of a neighboring house, and had not
been caught when my informant left,
who thinks the crowd were terribly
in earnest, but it is thought that some
cool men would prevent the lynching
until the arrival of Sheriff Halle.
Del Kelly had little or nothing to
say except to request to be turned
loose. He was tied hard and fast to
a tree. There seems to be no doubt
that the Kellys were drunk and try
ing to break up the pleasures of the
day, and Shaw and others were trying
to get them to leave peaceably.
