AN UNUSUAL STORY.
Double Death of Aged Ne
groes in Almshouse.

On Wednesday afternoon two old
negroes died out at the county aims
house. Their story is strange one,
and reveals brutality on the part of
>ofsprings to those who gave them
life that seems almost incredible
It was about year ago that the
old negroes, Peter and Harriet Knox,
husband and wife. both having at
tanned more than the allotted four
score years, were found wandering
about the streets in a helpless and
starving condition, their son and
grandchildren having kicked them
out of doors TEey were sent to the
almshouse, where they were made
more comfortable than they had been
for many years There is no way by
which any one desiring to leave the
almshouse can be held there legally,
and about year ago the old couple
decided that they wanted to go out
and see the son and grandchildren
who had abandoned them so cruelty,
leaving them to starve III the street.
They went from the almsbouse and
went here and there, tramping
through Lexington county hunting
for the inhuman relatives Nothing
more was heard of them until abent
six weeks ago when one night Chief
of Police Daily found the old man,
now "a years of age, stretched out
under some boards in the Ryatt mar
BILE yard One Of his feet had been
Amos. eaten away by senile gan
grene He was perfectly helpless
and starving. He was carried back
to the almshouse His wife, only a
year or SO his janior, succeeded in
finding the inhpman relatives in the
suburbs. Shortly after tbea old man
was found she was picked up one
nighs in weak and starving eondi-
tion in an old field where her son and
grandchildren had thrown her. She,
too, was taken back TO the almshouse.
Both grew worse. They sent for
their relatives to come and see them,
but they never appered On Wednes--
day the old man died just Eve
hours later in another room the old
woman also breathed her last When
it was known that they had both
died the relatives did not even then
come about. and yesterday morning
two common pine cofins were borne
out of the gates on single wagon.
The old couple were buried side, by
eide in potter's field and still those

Columbia, October 26.-The railroad

advantage, it is contended that it does
not Dow bold. aud will very likely IT,

BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful, Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
CAT the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on hisright
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But TO my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores we're well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. 8. s. WRoTEN, Farming
ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.
