Gen. Maury, in recent number
of the Youths Companion, has the
following incident of Gen. M. G.
Buffers wounding at Brandy Sta
tion:
Gen. M. G. Butler, of South Caro-
lima, was seriously wounded and
manned for life at the battle of
Brandy Station. He and q young
captain named Farley had just
come out of action in the early
morning, and were laughing to-
gether over some amusing incident
they had noticed. A. that moment
a cannon ball came bounding at
them. Il struck Buffers leg above
the ankle, tore through his horse,
and cut off Farley's leg above the
knee.
Down they all went. Butler be-
gan to stanch the blood with his
bankerchief, and advised Farley
how to do the same. Capt. Chest
nut, Lieutenant Rhett and other
officers came running to Buffers
help; but at that moment he OBJ
served that Farley's dying horse
was struggling, and seemed likely
to crush it's rider.
$50 at once to Farley!" cried
Butler. "He needs you more than
I do"
They did as they were bidden,
and Farley was placed in a litter.
He asked them to bring his leg and
put it, too, in the litter. Then be
said:
"Now, gentlemen, you have done
all for me that is possible. I shall
be dead in an hour. God bless you
for your kindness. I bid you all an
affectionate farewell. Go at once
to Butler.
That evening Buffers leg was
dressed in the hospital just as poor
Farley breathed his last. The two
men had never seen each other till
that morning.
"Henceforth," says Gen. Maury,
"we shall not need to 60 to Sir
Phillip Sidney for,ran example of
noble self-sacrifice."

The Townes Case.

Augusta Evening News
The case of Townes vs.. the City
of Augusta will be put in motion
Wednesday morning at the office
of Mr.. w. T. Davidson, the City
Attorney.
The case is very important one'
and when it goes to trial 1t Will at
tract much interest throughout Au-
gusta, as the amount involved IN
the case is O very large one.
Wednesday a number of wit
nesses will be examined relative to
the river overfowing certain lands
near the locks. This testimony
will bear upon the question OF
whether or not the.placing OF the
present city locks caused the water
to back up on this land. There are
q number of witnesses in the case,
and il will take several days for all
of the testimony to be taken down.
This suit was brought by Messrs.
Croft & Tillman, of Aiken and
Edgefeld, in the interest of the
heirs of the Townes estate of Edge
field county. The plaintiff il the
case claims that the deed making
the land on the Carolina side upon
which the locks are built over to
the city is defective and will not
hold good. The cityrclaims that
the deed is valid and that the titles
to the land will stand the test.

for the building to be ready for oc-

II is fact which all leading physicians
admit, that nine times out Of ten a patient
will recover without the assistance of a
doctor. With the advance Of general knowl-
edge people understand better what 20 do

can not cure: Nature alone can cure but
medicines help Nature Take an illusifa-
ton. Let US say you have sick headaches
occasionally. with dizziness, sour stomach
and loss Of appetite. You do not need TO
go TO doctor, for every one will tell yen il
is biliousness, and that what you need is
liver pill TO clean out the bowels and arouse
the torpid liver TO action.
In this case you can buy many different
kinds Of liver pills, but the best course is to
secure the liver pills and also some TONIC
PELLETS for purifying the blood and
toning up the system. so that you viii not
be troubled again.
You Can get both of these medi-
