What Shall We Do?

A. serious and dangerous disease pre-
-pails-in this country, dangerous because
80 deceptive. 1t comes on SO slowly yet
surely that it is often firmly seated lie-
fore We are aware of it,.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is first
kidney trouble, il dicatcd by pain in tho
back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de-
sire to urinate, often with burning
sensation, tho flow of urine being copious
or scant with strong odor
If allowed to advance, this reaches tho
second stage, or bladder trouble with
heavy pain in tho abdomen low down
betwcen tho naval and the water passage,
increasing desire to urinate, with scald-
ing sensation in passing, small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometimes
necessary to draw it with instruments
If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous if neglected.
The third stage is Bright's disease.
Thero is comfort in knowing that Dr.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered u remedy fam
nns for its marvellous cures OF tho most
distressing cases and known as DIR. Kill
merS Swamp-Root.
1t is sold by all druggist.
AS proof of tho wonderful virtues of
this great discovery, Swamp Root, a sam
ple bottle and book of valuable informa-
ton will be sent absolutely FREQ by mail

That Cold Saturday.


Mr.. David White, one of our oldest
citizens, says Major Maret is mistaken
in his date about the cold Saturday. lie
says it was February 7th, 1885, and that
ho remembers George Tippen was tho
this place and that when he came into
town tho horses rounded themselves up
in front of the post Office and stopped
and old DR.. Webb, who was tho post
master, observing that Tippon didn't
move, went out and found him SO stiff
that he had to call help to lift him off,
and he WAS carried into tho old Benson
House and rubbed until he was brought
around all right, and that Daniel Muir
phy, who was the driver from here to
Abboville, refused to 90 on account of
tho cold, and that tho Savannah river
frozo over at Dooley's ferry. He says he
has record of it mado at the time.
That seoms to be conclusive. n,crson

The expedition was led by Lieutenant

was shot in retiring. Two British and
two American sailors wero also killed.
The natives engaged woro somo of
Mataafa's warriors, about 800 in number.
They severed tho heads of tho British
and American officers who woro killed.
Priests of tho Fronch mission aftcr-

WASHINGTON, April 12. - With the
ambush of English marines tho war
clouds seem to be gathering once more
about Washington.
There have been hurried conferences
at the White House to-day, and overy
one who has scun the President admits
that the situation is most grave. Repre-
sentative Hull, chairman Of the military
committee, said, on leaving tho White
House: ut meaGs retracting or war
nothing moro or less"
Among tho early callers was Senator
Davis, of Minnesota, who, on leaving tho
White House, said that tho reports from
Samoa ought not to cause us to lose Our
heads. AS grave as tho situation APP
pears, it will pot reasonably lead to moro
serious trouble. 1t is not to DO assumed
that Germany would condOne an act of
violence OH tho part of one of her sub
jects oven should it be true that Ger
man proprietor of the plantation on
which the ambush occurred had led or
instigatcd tho attack" Tho Senator did
not care to discuss tho current dispatches
from Berlin and contontcd himself with
making this rough statement.
In every circle, however, the nows from
Samoa was received here with feeling
approaching dismay. There was re-
fusal on the part of the higher officials
to discuss the sad event. Tho secretary
of tho German embassy called early in
the day upon Secretary Hay. Neither Of
the officials would disclose anything as
to tho nature of tho exchange that took
place.

BRUNsoN, s. c., April 0.--An anfortu-

tween j. O. Preacher, Charlie Preacher
and Arron Preacher, three brothers, on
one side, and George Reid, Mack Reid
and James Reid, also brothers, and a
man named Connolly, on the other. The
difficulty began between j. Q. Preacher
and Geo. Reid. They met and some hot
word ware passed over some trivial mat
ter, whom q pistol shot was heard and
Immediately q general firing was COM
nenced. Twenty Or thirty rJhots were
fired in a worry few seconds. When tho
firing ceased the following were found
to be tho casualties: George Reid was
tho front and three ,'ti the ' back. % Maok
Reid was dangerously and possibly
fatally shot, and Connolly had two balls
through his left hand. James Reid was
not hurt, and the Preachers wore prao-
tioally uninjured. George Reid died
from his wound at 5 O'Clock this morning.
An inquest was hold which resulted In
verdict to the effect that the deceased
came to his death by. pistol shots
fired by j. @. Preacher and Alron
Preacher. The Preachers remaiuod in

verdict was j. G. and Arron Preacher
went to tho shoriff, gave themselves up
and wero taken to Jail.
just as tho firing between tho two
parties mentioned above ceased single
