A HORRIBLE CONFESSION.
Scott Jackson Held Pearl Bryan's Dead Bedy
While Her Mead Was Cut on.

Frankfort, KY, March 19.-As q last
desperate resort to extort q respite from
Governor Bradley. or Communication of
the sentence of himself and Alonzo M.
Walling, Scott jackson has made con-
,fession. and Walling has signed 1t. Upon
their arrest one year and six weeks ago
each charged that the other committed
the murder. The confession Is now in
Governor Bradley's hands.
The confessions say DR.. Wagner adj
ministered medicine in attempting to
perform an abortion under which Pearl
Bryan died. jackson held her across his
lap while Wagner cut her head off.
Wagner wrapped the head in q cloak
and took 1t home. Afterward he became
insane. They did not know where the
head was. The confession was secured
for big money consideration, the pro-
ceeds to go to the mothers of the con-
demned men.
Tomorrow is the date fixed for the
execution of Walling and jackson. The
scaffold has been erected, and unless
Governor Bradley grants a respite the
sentence will be carried out.

Puritana Has Won

4lk But most of all, it cures.
Puritana brings food to
the starving. .
1t brings drink to the perishing.
1t brings life to the dying.
When suffering people pay their
money they don't want a name or a
history.
They want the real thing. 81
They want a cure. Ia
Puritana is a cure.
The famous discoverer of Puritana,
Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D.. IL. D., was
for 81 years at the head of Dartmouth
medical college.
He has founded q new method of
common sense treatment, and has be-
conc the most noted of all the great
Crosby physicians.
He has given the world the secret Of
health.
He has shown the prime importance
Of the human stomach.
All bodily power begins in the
stomach.
All relief and cure must start there.
DR.. Crosby believed that If he could
make the stomach right he could make
the whole body right.
That is what Puritana does.
Palpitation of the heart Is stomach
symptom.
Poor blood is stomach symptom.
Headache is a stomach symptom.
Troubles of the liver and kidneys are
sto:nac h symptoms.
Puritana banishes all these sympr
toms.
1t strikes at the root OF them all and
cures the stomach.
This is proven by thousands OF
witnesses.
Puritana has cured numberless cases
OF chronic dyspepsia and indigestion
after every other remedy has failed.
Puritana has brought men and
women out of torture worse than death.
1t is doing it today.
Every day.

Poor Killing.

It Is usual to compare the battles Of
the last century with the battles Of to-
day, and to dilate upon the greater
deadliness Of the modern weapons and
the modern results But the facts are
all the other way. At Fontenoy, for
instance. one volley Of the Coldstreams
struck down $50 Frenchmen Of the
Regiment du Roi. Again, at the same
battle, the Gardes du Corps had not
much short Of 500 saddles emptied by
q single volley, while the French
Guards were scattered by point-blank
yolley from British regiment at TWEEN
ty PAGES that brought down $50 men.
Here we have at Krugersdorp thou
sands Of Beers in cover shooting for
hours on two days at 600 Englishmen
In the open, and killing very few conf
parssi to the hundreds who dropped at
one volley from the Coldstreams at
Fontenoy.
The fact Is that modern fighting
tends more and more to become game
of long bowls. This vas the cause OF
the, small execution done at Krugers-
dom. On the ether hand, our fore
fathers at Fontenoy and elsewhere
held their fire till they we're within
twenty or thirty PAGES, and the officers
passed their canes along the muske!
barrels to make sure they were no:
aimed too high before the voiley was
delivered. Moreover, the men were
formed In solid column or square, and
every shot told. 1t looks as If the great
er range Of the rife would be followed
by less loss Of men, and certainly the
rapldity Of the discharge Of the maga-
zine rife tends to encourage wild and
careless shooting, and is against cool
and accurate workmanship.-Saturday

HOUSE.

MONDAY. the House Simpson, of
Kansas, was voted down by an attack
on the Speaker which moved Reed to
challenge him to propose resolution
instrtcting the Speaker to appoint the
committees. There was an Intellectual
attempt by Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas, to Sc
cure an agreement for the considera-
ton of the Nelson bankruptcy bill on
May 10. Cannon, Rep, OF Illinois,
called up the Senate resolution to ap-
propriste $50, 900 for the expenses Of
the Congress of the Universal Postal
Union which convenes in Washington
this week and it was adopted. At 8:28
p. M, the House adjourned until
Thursday.
THuRsDA.-The House adopted q
resolution for bi-weekly sessions to be
held on Mondays and Thursdays until
further action. The Democrats and
Populists allied against it, and Bailey,
of Texas, says that its only aim was to
prevent the consideration of the bank
ruptcy bill. The House adjourned
until Monday, after King Dem. J, of
Utah, read q Hawaiian resolution.

note Of save a college, but now there
are cotton mills near by that manufac-
ture 14O, 900 bales annually, and it is
claimed that no one county in the
United States consumes as much. Not
an acre of suburban land can be
bought for less than $50. Everything
prospers and everybody seems happy:
The taxable property has increased
four-fold within eight years, and the
population has more than doubled.
Where did all the money come
from, I inquired.
From a small beginning-from one
little mill, and it did so we'll that 9TH
ers soon followed. Northern manufac-
turers of machinery were attracted
there and took one-third of the stock
and paid for it in spindles and looms
and have made good money and are
content. Some Charleston money is
there, too. These mills have made
from 10 to 20 per cent for several
wears and keep on making it, and these
machinery men up north will do the
same thing for the people OF Carters-
Vile or any other southern town that
is healthy and we'll situated. They
only wait to be invited. The Pied
mont region of South Carolina is now
the New England of the south.
Even the young men and young
ladies of good families in their
towns are not too proud to
take positions in the factories. They
are bookkeepers, typewriters, CORES
pondents and superintend ip some Of
the departments and earn good honest
money. Just think of it, what revo-
luton. For many years we have sup
posed that the state was nearly worn
and her young men would have to &C
cept Greely's maxim, "Go west,
young man, go west" but not so.
Northern South Carolina is richer
today and more prosperous than any
portion of Georgia. Anderson has
nearly doubled her population during
the last five years. New stores, new
dwellings, new churches, parsonages
and q fine public school building have
gone up, q new courthouse is pro-
jected and all this comes from the cot
ton mills. It does seem as though the
cotton we grow should be spun and
woven at home.
NV last visit was to the old historic
town of Edgefeld-a town almost re-
tired from the public gaze but one
that has always felt proud OF its pres
tige as the domicile of more great men
than any in the state. McDufie lived
here and Governor Pickens and the
Buffers and Rhetts and Garys and
