SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC CATARRH.
As Described by DR.. Hartman, one Of the
Greatest Authority and Writers
on Catarrh.

The symptoms of chronic catarrh
vary according to the stage and exact
location of the disease. The first stage
of catarrh of the nose and head pro-
duces discharge from the nose, sneezlng,
pain in the eyes and forehead, weak,
and sometimes watery eyes occasionally
loss of memory. In the last stage the
discharge ceases, and dry, offensive
scabs form in the nose; polypi growths
sometimes form in one or both nostrlls,
and the pain in the head and eyes is
much less. Unless something is done
to prevent, the catarrh will follow the
mucous membrane. into the lungs,
where it will be followed by cough,
night sweats, rapid loss of flesh, and
the other dread symptoms OF consump-
ton.
Pe-ru-na is specific for every case of
catarrh, whether the disease is located
in the lungs, kidneys or stomach. The
dose Of Pe-ru-na should be a large table
spoonful before each meal and at bed
time. Women and some delicate men
should begin with q :easpoonful, and
slowly aud gradually increase to the
above full dose.
Free books on chronic catarrh, Ia
grippe, coughs, colds and consumption
are being sent to any address by The
Pe.ru-na Drug Manufacturing Com
pany of Columbus, Ohio. ..-.....

Sumter's Pedestrian Dead.

SpMrEg, October l5.-Capt. r. g.
Andrews, Of Sumter, 102 years old,
died last night. he was a rather dis
tinguished character, having been a
veteran in both the Mexican and late
war between the States. Years ago he
drove q coach from Sumter to Bostea
before the present w. C. & a. road was
built to Sumter. He WAS principally
noted for his famous pedestrian ex-
ploits, having about five years ago, at
the age of 96 or 81 years, walked to
Boston over the old stage route that he
had driven over in former years. He
was accompanied on that occasion by
bis famons dog Fido. FMo died several
years ago. The captain was until
about a year ago as sprightiy and as
agile as man of 40. He wrote his.
tory of his life several years since,
which was interesting reading. His
death takes away from Us one OF the
old and familiar faces.

With his cane.

Ere the pruning-kEife Of time

Not better man wss found
By the crier on his round
Through the town.
But now he walks the streets
And ne looks at all he meets
So forlorn:
And be shakes his feeble head,
That it seems as If he said,

And it rests upon his chin
Like staff:
And 8 crook is in his back,
And 8 melancholy crack
In his laugh.

For me to sit and grin
At him here,
But the old three-cornered hat,

Evidence OF the Witnesses for the DEFENSE
Against the Accused-New TRIAL re
a.-ea e Tused-Pelitics OF the Jury.
FSpecial to The State.

kSPARTANBUTG, October ~. me
fary,s verdict in Constable Bladons
3 ease was guiltyof murder. On the Zetn
OF last December, Jack Bladon, of Edge
field, with Constables Pearson, Jackson,
Davis and Others went to H enry Pai-
u,er's house. Constab!e Blaoon was
armed with a warrant for Palmer,
charging him with retailing liquor.
Palmer, who was respectable col
.ored man, ran and attempted to escape;
When be got about thirty feet ana
some one from the direction OF the
house had shot Bladon, be, the consta-
Bile. shot the fugitive dead. This was
the first man killed under the clspen-
.sary law.
IS The solicitor introduced on behalf OF,
the prosecution the wife, nother-in-iaW
aud small brother-in-law of Palmer,
who testified 10 the details of the en-
ceIrster in which Palmer was Killed
and Bladon almost fatally wounded,
and attributed the three shots hreG TO
the constables.
Conssables Pearson, Jackson and
Bfaden himself testified that the f1rst
shot which wounded Biadon was fired
by some one within Palmer's house
aud that Bladon fired the two other
shots, one of which killed Palmer.
According to Jackson's testimony, Pal-
ner was len or fifteen steps from Bia-
don and running at the time. Bladon

lnent for the defense and the case was
closed by Solicitor Schumpert IN mag
nificent address to the jury Ioe
whole town could talk OF nothing else
yesterday afternoon. His arralgnnent
5of,Bladon and his fellow constaoles ano
his plea that justice be meted Quito the
marderer of Palmer were strong fea-
tnres:o one of the most eloquent argu-
nients that has ever been heard IN the
Spartanbur criminal court. -,
Judge Fraser charged the jury that
the offense with which Palmer was
charged ct the time Bladon went to ar
rest him was misdeneanor; that Bla-
don had right to use any force sum
cient io-evercome such resistance as
might be offered by Palmer but that II
Bladon shot Palmer while the latter
yves seeking to escape by flight, ne was
guilty of murder or manslaughter ac-
cordiug as the shot was fred with de-
Iberate intent to kill or in sudden
heat and passioa generated in the con-
. fiict.
