Cured of Blood Poison After Fifty-Two
Doctors Failed

Gentlemen In 1872 small pimple
broke out on my leg. 1t began eating
and in four months was treated by a
physician of Talladega County. Ala,
where | lived eighteen years. He re-
leived it for short while. In six
weeks it broke out again in both legs,
also on my shoulder. Two small
bones were taken out. 1t continued
until 1876. In this time l had twelve
different physicians. They told me
the only remedy was amputation; that
it could never be cured. For six
months | could not walk step. |

vised to write you, which did. You
wrote me that B. B. B. would cure

der. The murderer has caused death,
and nc is to pay the penalty of suffer-
ing death himself. There is no al
tentative. There is no recommends
tion to mercy This is modern de-
vice and of human origin. Death is
the penalty. 1t is severe. but no
more so than the crime.
The way to stop murder is to en-
force the law against the crime. AS
long as the murderer stands good
chance to be acquitted there will still
be an increase in this crime. But if a
man knows that murder is the sure
road to the gallows he will think a
long time before he will commit the
crimc-in fact, he will think about it
so long that in the great majority Of
cases the crime will never be commit
ted, at least as far as the overt act is
concerned. 1t is said that when capi-
tai punishment was abolished in Italy,
in 1895, that there was an increase Of
murders of AZ per cent. The best way
to decrease the number of murders is
to increase the number Of hangings.
In conclusion. let US 90 away from
this place deeply impressed with the
gravity of this subject. 1t is impor-
tant that all good people and all good
agencies should raise their voices and
their influence against this gigantic
evil, which has been on the increase
to such an alarming extent in the last
few years, The press, the pulpit and
the people ought to unite their forces
and their resources to crush out this
atrocious and national crime.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1898-03-23


fees from the authorities. it is prima
facic evidence that he is guilty. For
as rule, now it is to the interest even
of the guilty man to give himself up.
So few are convicted these days that
usually the safest place for the mur-
derer is in tl.e Court room, for he may
expect soon to be raade free there by
law. When one person takes the life
of another and fees from the law. the
State ought to offer a very large re-
ward for the man. This would be
productive of two good results-it
would encourage faithful effort to
secure the man. and it would make
the impression on the mipds of the
people that the State puts high valu-
alton on human life.
3. The man who has killed his fell
low man ought not to be let out on
bond, guilty or innocent. He may be
innocent Of murder. If so. there is
no disgrace in remaining a few days
in prison. A speedy trial will soon
set the innocent man free. The right
to let men out on bond who are
charged with murder'is greatly abused,
and no doubt has been the cause of
many guilty man becoming free in
the end. 1t is almost impossible
to convict man who has been out on
bond, practically free man. The
murderer knows this. Hence about
the first thing his lawyers do after he
has been placed in jail is to try to get
him out on bond. The Law ought to
be so changed that this evil will be
stopped.
4. The law against carrying con-
cealcd deadly weapons ought to be en-
forced better than it is. 1t is good
law. In fact, it would be we'll to have
law forbidding the manufacture and
sale of the pistol. There is very lit
tie legitimate business fo- the pistol
to do in this world; tits so small, COM
pared to the great evils wrought by it
that its utter destruction and annihi-
lation would be great blessing to the
race.
5. The people ought to hold the Of
ficers of the law responsible. If the
officers fail to enforce the law, the
people ought to rebuke and condemn
this failure in no uncertain sounds.
If public sentiment against lawless-
ness were stronger, if the officers
knew that they would be held respon
sible by the people, then there would
he more rigid enforcement of the
law, and this: Of course, would de-
crease the lawlessness that now pre-
walls in the land. Public sentiment
needs to be toned up and made SO
strong that it will be felt both By the
evil doer and by the officer of the law.
6. The law against murder should
be enforced. Fhc guilty man should
be punished. The penalty that is
prescribed against murder both by hu-
man and Divine law is death. Hear
what God says: Moreover, ye shall
take no satisfaction for the life Of a
murderer, which is guilty Of death;
but he shall be surely put to death
Again, "Whoso sheddeth mans blood,
by man shall his blood be shed; for in
the image Of God made he him" This
is Gods law on the subject Of muir

A REPUBLICAN COMMENT.
What the Only Colored Editor in the
State Thinks of Dayton.

The colored editor, OF Martinsburg,
J. r. Clifford, it seems is not pleased
with the nomination of the Hon. A.
G. Dayton for Congress. In recent
issue Of his paper, the Pioneer Press,
he says:
1.-THE Keyser convention that NOM
mated A. G. Dayton was in many re-
spects the noisiest one we ever at
tended. While Mr.. Dayton was, as is
well known, the strongest man in the
race, there is no proof, nor will there
be any, that he is the strongest man
that could have been placed in nomi-
nation-that proof will be established
on the eve Of next Noyember's cleo
tion. Though Mr.. Dayton is not our
beau ideal Of manly men, we know
worse ones and have had dealings
with them. What we most regret is
that so manly man, gentleman so
scholarly and a Christian so ripe as
the Hon. George c. Sturgiss, should
have gone into the contest to be so
ungrateful!y slaughtered. 1t looks as
though there is, in politics, a winning
premium upon blatherskites in pref
erence to able men,"

A CORRECTION.
Harvey w. Harmer is set Right-A
Clipping and Letter.

Some days ago squib which was
floating over the state about Harvey
w. Harmer, of Clarksburg, came un-
der the notice of some one at this
Office and it was clipped.
The notice being an injustice to
Mr.. Harmer when called to his at
tention made him somewhat indig-
nant. We take pleasure in publish
ing his letter which contains the
facts in the case.
He is a young man of scrupulous
integrity and would not do any un
worthy under any circum-
stances. His career in the senate
has been one of probity and we are
sorry that he has failed Of return
ing to that body.
The clipping referred to is:
Harvey W. Harmer, of Clarks-
burg, tried to get the Senatorial
nomination in his district, and fail
ing in that tried to get the nomina-
ton for House of Delegates, when
he again failed.
The letter is as follows:
A copy of the DAILY New DoMIN
ION Of Sept. 7 was shown me to day
from which the enclosed clipping
was cut. | desire to say it is a
slanderous squib and an untruth
which | ask you to please correct.
/ did try for the Senatorial nomi-
nation and did get it but owing to
the fact that the way in which it
was given to me was questioned by
some and party harmony and sue
cess was in danger / had the man
hood to get up before that conven-
ton and move that my opponent be
nominated by acclamation. This,as
say, was when l had the necessary
AZ votes votes by adopting the unit
rule in Harrison county, where Two
votes were against me, as my oppo-
nents had done in Richie county.
| did not try to get the nomina-
ton for the House of Delegates in
this county but refused to even ac-
cept the same it given to me though
] was urged by large number of
influential men to allow my nomina-
tion to be made.
l know you would not have so
represented me had you known the
facts and | hope you will make the
correction and send me a copy OF
your paper.
Yours truly.
HARVEY W. HARMER.

GEORGE LEMLEY KILLED.
He is supposed TO be from near Fair

Person.

Thursday night a young man was
run over by the shifter at Wheeling
and killed. He is supposed from
letters found in his pocket to be
George Lemley of near Fairmont.
He probably has brother named
Homer Lemley. The body was ter
ribly mangled. At first he was ex-
peeted to recover but he never re-
gained consciousness and several
hours after he was found he died.
The body was taken to the morgue
in Wheeling where it awaits the
coming of his relatives and friends
otherwise it will be buried at the ex-
pense of the city.

GOING BETTER.
City Engineer says that the cal
ling received by the con-
tractor has done good.

Things are moving Faster and it is
not so hard to get what is wanted
The intention is to have things done
just as the specifications call for them
and the trouble arose over that
Brick is being laid with rather good
speed-TwO days late af M0reland's
Aer--More men arebeing put on.
The consultation of the contractor
the city engineer and the members
of the street committee have borne
it's fruit and the result is very graft
flying to all concerned. The paving
is going on with more satisfaction
to all and if the present lick is main
tanned there will no be further cause
for complaint.
The amount of brick laid when the
men get at it once is surprising and
the sight of the men placing the
brick in position has attracted a
large number of people. The work
was resumed on Friday afternoon
and by night they had gotten a
good start up Main street. 1t is
now said that by Tuesday night they
will reach Moreland's corner. This
is two days behind the time that the
contractor expected to get there but
he has been delayed by the bad
weather.
The trouble is that there is not
enough men engaged to keep the
brick layers going all the time The
remedy of this fault is being en-
ployed and more men are being put
on to get the ground ready for the
final work When it gets so that
the ground can be prepared and the
layers follow right along all the time
on the heels of the first gang it will
be all right and all the objections to
the way in which things have been
managed will have been met
The contractor Mr. Berry will be
here all the time from now on and
under his immediate attention things
move faster than when he is not
here. This will help things consid-
erably. The city engineer says that
there has been no trouble experienc-
ed in getting the specifications fol-
lowed since it has been impressed
on Mr.. Berry that that is what is
wanted and shall be had
The curling is coming on faster
and more men have been put on so
that there need be no delay from that
source any more. The car load of
the curved curbing which has been
ordered has not yet shown up and
that has delayed the work somewhat.
1t was shipped last Tuesday and
should be here at any time now.
This is to be used at all intersec-
tions of alleys and streets. Until it
gets here the curved has to be cut
by hand and that takes long time.
Every one will be glad to hear
some of the reasons for complaint
have been met and they hope that
things will continue to go as salts
factorily as they are said to be NOV
ing by the city engineer.

TO SAVE A GIRLS LIFE
A Part of the Public MAY be
Requested to Share
A Portion of the Cuticle-An Interest.
ing Case at Saint Luke's Hospital
Miss White Has One Chance of Recoy-
ering.
Parkersburg journal.


Lizzie White, the young woman
who was so badly burned in the aw-
full gas explosion on the Bumgardner
farm last July, is now undergoi ng
treatment at st. Luke's Hospital in
this city.
Her condition is not beyond the
dan gerous stage by any means,
In fact, she has one chance in a thous-
and, as the saying goes, recovering.
She was horribly burned all over the
body, and when she was first brought
to the hospital August oath, she was
in fearful condition.. Her arms had
grown to her sides and her legs had
grown together. 1t was necessary to
separate these members with sur
geon's knife. Considerable Of the
burned places have grown over, but
there are several large patches where
there is no sign of new skin and her
physicians, DR.. III. B. Stout, and DR..
Dan Johnson may have TO resort to
skin-grafting to save the woman's life.
In case this is done successfully there
is only chance of her ever getting
well.
In the event skin-grafting will
have to be resorted to, it will be a
most delicate and interesting opera
ton, as the only one of its kind of
any consequence that has ever been
attempted in this city. There is so
much that will have to be done. Aside
from her burns, the woman is in good
health and has a remarkably strong
constitution, and new skin to be used
on the places where no skin has yet
appeared, will be taken from other parts
of her body. But that may perhaps
be an insufficient quantity and volun-
teers may have to be called from
among the public to come forward
and contribute a small piece of cuti-
Gle, SO that the woman's life may be
saved. This is often done in cities and
wherever the call has been made the
response has developed many heroic
persons who do not mind to carry a
bandaged sore arm for couple of
weeks, where a surgeons blade has
taken off small piece of skin to be
applied to some unfortunate PERSONS
anatomy to save human life.
The result Of such an operation, if
it is performed will be watched with
careful attention by medical SCENT
lists and by the public generally
Miss White is receiving the very
finest attention. All the expenses and
they are quite heavy, are being borne
by the Association Producers, the gas
from whose well caused the awful ac-
cident which resulted in several deaths
at that time. Besides the best
that.the hospital affords, large boz
Quet Of flowers is sent daily to Miss
Whites room and an abundance of
fruit and delicacies is provided for her.
