inent Public Men.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 4.-Gen. johnson
Hagood, aged 50, died at his home in Barn
well to-day of Brights disease.
Next TO Gems. Hampton and Butler. his
position in war and in peace has been
more conspicuous than that of any other
public man i'm the state.

jutant general of militia and entered the

Retaliates That He VIII Defend HIM
self If Attacked and Calls on the
Police to Prevent a Tragedy.
Couple Back in Augusta After
Travelling About the Country As
Nan and Wife-LOver Claims WO-
man Insisted On Returning
Against His Wishes.
Augusta. Ga. Jan. A remarkable sto-
~ comes TO light to-day through the
statement of G. o. Faulkner, who informs
the police that his life is threatened by
E. c. Webb. butcher and dairyman, and
the latter's son. He says he does not
desire to have any difficulty, neither does
he desire to be lodging these men, and
if they attack him he will certainly de-
fend himself.
Behind all this is a sensational story,
and here il is as told by Faulkner him
self: E. c. Webb's wife and Faulkner
have known each other all their lives and
last year Faulkner was working for
Webb in his dairy, milking cows, etc.
Faulkner says Webb treated his wife
badly and she got tired of it and said
she was going north and leave him. She
asked Faulkner TO accompany her He
loved her and went. This was last May
She furnished the money and they went
to Washington. Philadelphia and New
York. Mrs. Webb bought him a phono-
graph outfit and they made money exhib-
iting it.
Recently patronage fell off. Mrs. Webb
became dissatisfied and said she was COM
ing back home. Faulkner said he could not
dissuade her from returning. He says they
have been living as man and wife while
away, and he tried to persuade her to get
a divorce and be married, but she would
hear to nothing but coming back TO Au-
gusta, and so back they came. Mrs. Webb
did not return to her husband, but is at
the home of friend and according TO
Faulkner says she does not mean TO return
to her husband.
Mr.. Webb and his son are both deeply
indignant at the audacity of the return of
the couple together, and declare they will
shoot Faulkner on sight.
1t is under this state of affairs that
Faulkner demands an adjustment of the
situation without bloodshed. He seems to
be willing to abide by any arrangement
the courts shall decree He says his moth
er is here in Augusta, and he wants to live
with her in peace without feeling that he
is being hunted, and that his life is con-
stantly in danger. He does not want to kill
Webb and does not mean to let Webb kill
him. He asks the police to summon all
the parties and have the matter adjusted
in any way that will be satisfactory, and
put am end to the present situation.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYS-
PERSIA.
To Gain Flesh, 10 sleep WeII,tO Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean Make a Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of An Indian
npoIis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. Peo-
pie having it think that their nerves are to
blame ana are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring RENE
dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost
sight of: the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor per-
haps any of the usual SYMPTOMS of stom-
ach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows
itself not in the stomach so much as in
nearly every other organ; in some cases
the heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in 9th
ers the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accumula-
ton of gas sour risings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
St, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"A motive of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the new
and valuable medicine Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. / have been a sufferer from nerv-
Gus dyspepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and other
remedies without any favorable result.
They sometimes gave temporary relief I'M
til the effects of the medicine wore off. l

being a bookkeeper with little physical ex
ercise, but l am glad TO state that the tab
lets have overcome all these obstacles. for
I have gained in flesh, sleep better and am
better in every way. The above is written
not for nOtoriety. but is based on actual
fact" Respectfully yours,

A SUICIDE AT WILDWOOD.
Young Man Addresses Letter to His
Sweetheart and Dies.

Young Man Addresses Letter TO His
Sweetheart and Dies.
Waycross, Ga, Jan. 4-Coroner Jackson
Grimes returned at $50 o'clock this after
noon from Wildwood, where he went this
morning to hold an inquest. The verdict
rendered by the jury in the case of a young
man, who was found dead in bed this
morning at j. J. Hargraves house in Mill
wood, was suicide by taking morphine.
In the coroners satchel were two letters,
evidently written by the young man last
night just before he took the fatal draught.
One was addressed to Miss Emma Thorn
as COS Fourth avenue, Columbus, Ga. 1t
was a love letter and told of the writer's
contemplated death.
Had l met you six months ago" the
letter goes on to say, II would not have
come to this. Circumstances were diff
ferent and l could have done what l most
wished 10 do
The next letter was addressed to j. L.
Brightwell, Parrot, Ga, asking that the
former letter be delivered, unopened to
Miss Thomas. The name signed to both
letters was simply Boss" supposed to be
a nickname.
A postal card was found in the young
mans pocket 1t was addressed to J. L.
Parrot, Parrot, Ga, and is believed to be
the nams, of the dead young man. A man
named FSrrott committed suicide early
last year at Atlanta. after losing over
S5AG00 in speculations though his wife pos
sessed some money and property. 1t is
thought at Wildwood that the unknown
young man whose untimely death occur
red there last night was named Parrott
and if so, he was possibly related TO the
Atlanta suicide.
The man arrived al Wildwood early yes
terday evening and engaged a room at Mr.
Hargraves. He said he was tired and
sleepy and did not want any supper At
ter breakfast this morning he was found
lying on his bed as if asleep, but he was
dead. An empty morphine bottle lay on
the mantel-piece. The stranger was about
% years of age, and was gentlemanly look
ing He had only fifty cents with him.
