Kind Remarks.

The Augusta Chronicle pays this
tlihuse to General Hampton in con-
nection with the loss of his home, and
South Carolinians will not fail to ar-
preciate its kind remarks:
General Hampton survived the war,
not without wounds fram battle, but
with SOUND limbs. He lost Que leg
afteg the war, from the violence Of a
mule. He had been mighty hunter
as we'll as warrior, but this manning g
came in n time of peace ard in r.osi
unexpected way. The General has
lived to receive many high houors
ftom his State and to suffer something
like political humiliation at the hands
of his own people, for whom he did
so much ipjtimes of distress. The ma
tioDal government appreciated and
rewarded him, but he lived to outlast
even that appreciation. Beyond
eighty years of age, it would be with
out further storms, but he has been
called upon to endure the crowning
efilic!ion of a home and its treasures
in ashes. The hearts of she people,
especially those who are old ex. Con-
fedorates like himself, in various de-
grees Of fortune, lament this loss and
sympathize with the grand old veteran
who confronts such disaster. He
will bear it, as he bore the loss of his
gallant son and other kindred or
friends, dear TO h;a heart, but it is
hard to bear. Sometimes, these chas.
tening are sent to remind us that our
true home is in another sphere, and
so the cords are cut that bind us to
this world and render it easier to de-
part in peace.

The ancients believed that rhcuma-
tism was the work Of Il demon within

belief. 1t has never been claimed
that Cbamberiain's Pain Balm would

4 BRUTAL MTRDEE AT GLIsN-
DALE.
A Plot to DecOy Young Rowland
Black and Kill Him to Pre-
vent His Marriages.

On last Sunday afternoon Louis
McAbee, Tom Smith and Rowland
Black left their homes to 60 to Paco'
let river about one mile below Clifton
No. 3 TO 60 in bathing and they had
not been gone long until the news he-
gan to spead that young Black had
drowned himself, that they had gone
in very rough place where the water
was very swift and he got strang!cd
and sank.
His body lay in tho bottom of the
river twenty four hours before it was
recovered. Many people from both
Glendale and Clifton visited the place
and assisted in searching for the body
but did not find it until twenty
four hours after the tragedy was re-
ported.
q. Ga Tuesday morning preparations
were being made for ths burial With:
cut holding an inquest, when it began
TO be talked on the streets that foul
play was suspected, and then it was
decided to hold an inquest, and Coro
ner Bishop wss notified and he held
the Inquest.
The post mortem examination was
made by DR.. w. A. Smith, of Glendale,
apd DIR. Chalk, of Clifton, and to the
great surprise Of everybody young
Blacks neck was found to b, broken
and great signs of finger prints we're
found on bis throat and other places
on his head and shoulders, showing
very plainly that there had been a
considerable struggle on his part.
After the witnesses had all been exam
ined and the examination by the doc
tors, the Coroner's jury brought in
verdict charging McAbee and Smith
with the crime. Ga Wednesday they
were brought to the city and lodged
in Jail They have very little to say, but
vehemsntly declare their innocence.
Roland Black, the deceased, was to
have been married to McAbee's
daughter On the 10Th of this mon b,
and it is said that McAbee was op
posed to tho match, and it is generally
believed that this was a prearranged
plot to get Black out Of the way-so
the talk goes-in favor of Smith, who
it is said, wanted to marry the girl
himself. lf.-Peidnont Headlight.

The English "Soclety for the
Prevention Of Consumption, .
presided over by the Prince OF
Wales, was recently addressed
by Sir William Broadbent, who
stated that it was definitely
known that every case of con-
sumption began with a germ
communicated from some other
case. There is no such thing AS
inherited consumption. There
may be local weakness which
tends to consumption, but the
germ has absolutely to be planted
In that weak spot before con-
sumption can ensue. This ought
to comfort thousands of people
who have "weak chests or
"weak lungs" They are not
foreordalned victims to this dread
disease. All that is needed to
bid absolute defiance to this dead
ly scourge is to be able to
strengthen the weak lungs and
build up strong body. The an
swer to this need is found in DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. 1t so purifies the blood and
increases the blood supply that
disease Is thrown off, and the
weak organs are nourlshed into
perfect health, which defies germs
OF every kind. People, given up
by doctors, emaciated, bleeding
at the lungs, with obstinate, lin
gerlng coughs are being cured
every day by tho use of "Golden
Medical Discovery" It is a
strictly temperance medicine,
containing no alcohol, whisky or
other intoXicant.
