STORY OF A SLAVE

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. Geo.
ID Williams, of Manchester, Mich.
tells how such Il slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has
been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in
bed alone. After using two bot
ties of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to
do her own work" This supreme
remedy for female diseases quick
ly cures nervousness, sleepless-
ness, melancholy, headache, back
ace, fainting aud dizzy spells.
This miracle working medicine is
a godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaran-
teed. Only so cents. Sold by
Crawford Bros Druggists.

CORNELIUS CORCORAN
SLEW HIS CHILDREN.
Murdered Four, Wounded One,
Then Killed Himself-Seemed
to be lndulgent Father.

Chicago, Nov 17.-Carrying
out plot he had apparently plans
ned with delibcration, Cornelius
Corcoran today shot four of his
children, killing three of them,
and then ended his own life. The
tragedy occurred at his home,
5,4O1 Dearborn street. The
dead:

old.
Margaret Corcoran, 5 wears
old.
John Corcoran, 6 years old.
Lizzie Corcorsn, years old.
The wounded:

may die. If she RECEIVERS. will
lose her left eye.
The police are convinced tho
man was insane. Corcoran had
lived with his seven children in n
fiat building at 5,4O1 Dearborn
street for month past. To all
outward appearances he was n
kind and considerate parent. For
some days he had plotted for the
death OF his children, and he near.
ly accomplished his purpose Tues.
day night. Hearing the children
cough, he al ose and in the night
administered laudanum to five OF
them-Clifford, Timothy, John,
Margaret and Lizzie. The first
two were removed to the Mercy
hospital, where Timothy died the
next day. Corcoran exhibited
such profound grief over the af-
fair that the police and the coro.
ner thought the giving of lauda>
mum was a mistake.
Baked in his purpose to end
the lives of the young ones, Cor.
coran, it is thought, made deliber.
ate plans for his act today.

SOUTH CAROLlNA'S SHAME.
A Virginia Contemporary Throws
Bouquets at the Dispensary.
Richmond Times.

Richmond Times.
A South Carolina politician has
turned States evidence against
the dispensary system and has
been making some through the
newspapers of the State. The
Charleston Evening Post says
that nothing has been accomplish>
ed by this, save the establishment
of the fact that corruption pre-
walls in the administration of the
dispensary and that this demon
stration was unnecessary, for the
reason that there has never been
any doubt of that proposition in
the minds nf the intelligent Oh
ser"er.
Tho dispensary system has been
a disgrace to South Carolina. 1t
was conceived in hypocrisy, for it
was alleged in the beginning that
it was u temperance measure and
was designed to prevent the abuses
of the liquor traffic. But Senator
Tillman long ago threw off that
disguise and declared openly and
bIunlIy that the purpose of the
dispensary was to furnish the peo-
pie with plenty of good liquor and
to make money for the State.
That being the case, how could we
expect anything else than that the
whole system would be honey
combed with scandalI 1t Is bad
thing for the State to engage in
any line of business, and when it
engages in the retail liquor busi-
ness for the purpose of giving the
people plenty of liquor and max
ing money for the State, it neces>
sarily brings down upon it's de
voted head all the worst evils OF
whiskey and politics. The official
government of South Carolina is
saturated with whiskey and for
the past several years has been on
u jag. it is a strange thing to us
that the good people of that State
have for SO long tolerated this dis
graceful nuisance, and we are not
surprised to learn that move.
ment is on foot TO reform the en-.
tire system. 1t is said that the
members of the legislature are
disguised and Senator Tillman is
said to be in favor of making
radical changes. The uest change
that can be made is to abolish the
dispensary.

GEN GRAY'S HOMEBURNED.
Family Barely Escapes, Losing
l. all Clothing-Cause of Fire
Unknown.
Special to The State.


Greenvillc, Nov 19.-This
morning \ little after 6 6o'clock.the
large and handsome residence of
Gen j Walter Gray on Coffee
street was almost completely dc.
stroved by fire, and the inmates
barely escaped from the flames.
The fire was discovered by young
man In an upstairs room Of a
house on the adjoining lot, and he
was awakened by the reflection of
the light in his room. The alarm
was given and the fire department
responded very quickly, but they
were unable to save much Of the
house.
The fire originated in the rear
of the dwelling, but there is no
satisfactory explanation as to its
origin, AS there were no fires IN
the house at the time, and appar-
emily the flames began on the out
side of the back piazza. Mrs st
Amand and her two children oc-
cupied rooms upstairs, and they
were barely rescued. Mr. Frank
Vance went back after helping
others out and had to get down by
post on the front piazza. Gen
Gray's family lost all their wear
ing apparel.
The house was built only n few
years ago, and had eight large
rooms with wide balls. The
building was insured for $1,000
and the furniture for $500, but
this will not cover the loss, which
is not less than $1,000.

CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION.

Veterans of the Civil War are very
much dissatisfied with the Admins
tration's plan of loading the people
down with taxes in order to carry
out its selfish scheme of military
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
For the last two months the
expenses of the governm ent growing
out of its wars, chiefly those of the
last two years, have been at the rate
of about half a billion year-a
burden that rests for the most part
upon the producing interests of the
country.
The old soldiers know what thi:
means. They know that the people
will not and cannot tolerate the
Administration present form o
extravaganza very long unless thing:
come to such Il pass that the Amer
lean when he is born shall be like the
European when he is born-''with al
armed soldier on his back and a
mortgage of $400 about his neck"
A reaction against war taxation
will set in. Then will come retrench
ment, and among the first TO suffer
will be the old soldiers who are thei
nation s deserving pensioners.
