SOME NEW COMMANDMENTS


 An eastern exchange prints the following:
 l. Thou shalt not go away from home to do thy trading; thou, nor thy sons, nor thy daughters.
 ?. Thou shalt patronize thine own merchants, also the printer, and they shall patronize thee. Make haste. therefore, and purchase that which shall cause thy countenance to shine with intelligence, bringing prosperity to both.
 3. Thou shalt employ thine own town workmen that they be not driven from their homes to find bread for their little ones. Thou shalt also consider him that is thy neighbor above him that dwelleth in strange town.
 I. Thou shalt not ask for credit, as goods cost much money and the merchants heart is wearied with bills. His children clamor daily for bread and his wife abideth at home for lack of such raiment as adorneth her sis ters. Blessed, yea, thrice blessed, is the man who pays cash
 ,, Thou shalt not ask for reduced prices for thy "innuence," for behold guile is in thy heart and the merchant readeth it like an open book. He laugheth thee to scorn and shouteth to his clerks, ha. hal
 6. Thou shah do whatever lieth in thy power to encourage and promote thy welfare, thine own town, thine own people. q y
 :. Thou shalt not suffer the voice of pride to overcome thee, and fl other towns entice, harken not unto them, for thou mayest be deceived
 8. Thou shalt spend thine earnings at home, that they may return from

The collector defaulter and a fugitive from justice, the cashier a defaulter and suicide, all the subordinates high-rollers with fondness for ''hot birds, small bottles" and dainty girls to help eat the one and drink the other, and hole in the cash recepts exceeding one hundred thousand dol lars ought to satisfy the most ardent admirer of civil service reform with the Cleveland brand.

JOHN STRICKLAND SHOT BY A NEGRO, J0HN.CRAWFORD, AT WHITES
 MILL.
No Witnesses to, the Shooting and the Negroes Stories of the Killing Con-
 fllct.

News was brought to this city Saturday morning of fatal shoot ing which occurred at Whites Mill near Sherrill Friday afternoon The principals to the affair were John Strickland, a white boy, and John Crawford, a negro. Both parties are about IS years old. There were no witnesses to the shooting but the negro, and his explanation of the occurrence con- fiict to such an extent as to render the facts decidedly uncertain Strickland's home is at-Beebe, being a son-in-law of A. B. Mcintosh, of that place. He worked for Mr. D, c. White, who farms and runs a gin near Sherrill. John Crawford was also employed by MT. White.
 The two boys have always been on speaking terms and were together in the lint room of the gin at the time of the shooting. Messrs Buck and Pete Mitchell were at work in the engine room and heard a pistol shot in the lint room. Ttey ran to the spot and found the white boy on the floor, dead, and no one else in the room but the negro.
 The negro, Crawford, claims that the pistol was in his hip pocket and was accidentally discharged. As Strickland was shot through the heart, and as no hole was made in Crawford's pocket, the story is not likely one.
 Crawford also said that he and Strickland were playing. Strick land popped a whip at him and he took the pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Crawford, thinking the pistol was not loaded. The trigger caught in some bagging and was discharged.
 Crawford made DO attempt to escape. He was arrested by a deputy constable, Mir Kitchen. and was brought to this city Saturday and placed in jail.
 Jfn Striekland's remains were buf ed Saturday near Sherrill.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
 INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Net be Alarmed, But Look For the
 Cause.


 Heart troubles, at least among Americans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitemnt and worry of Ameri- can business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor di- gestion.
 Real, organic heart disease is in- curable; but not one case in a hum dred of heart trouble, is organic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor diges stion is because both organs are controlled by branches of the same great nerves, the sympathetic and Pneumogastrlc.
 In another way, also the heart is affected by that form of poor diges- tion, which causes gas and fermenta- tion from half digested food; there is feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their ac- tion; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood. makes it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble Is to improve the di- gestion and to insure the prompt as- similation of food.
 This can best be done by the regu- lar use after meals, of some safe. pleasant and effective digcs tive prep. aration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may befound at most drug stores and which contain valu- able, harmless digestive elements, in a pleasant, convenient form.
 It is safe to say that the regular. persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble, except can cer of stomach.
 Full sized packages of the tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents.
