The Fight ON Bynum.-It is report
ed that Senator J. X. Jones has been select.
ed TO lead the fight against the copfirmas
tion of W. D. Bynum as the Democratic
member of the New York Board OF Ap-

in compliance with the wishes of a ma

is to make an example Of Mr.. Bynum in
order to accurately define the relations
which the Democratic organization wants

reason it is regarded as probable that the
issue will be fought out in the Senate
strictly along party lines. If this view
prevails, of course, Mr.. Bynum Will be

BETHEL ASSOCIATION.
Will Meet To-Day at Olivet Church,
Near Garrettsburg.

The Bethel Baptist Association
will meet at Olivet church, near
Garrettsburg, to-day and remain in
session several days. This is one
of the largest and strongest asso-
Citations in the state and includes
many of the ablest Baptistpreachers
in the General Association.
Ii is not believed any political
resolutions will be entertained as
has been the case at some other
associations. DR.. Jno. d. Clardy,
for many years was moderator of
the association and is still an active
member of the body. He says it
has never been the policy of the as
sociation to take part in political
campaigns and that any visiting
politician who might attempt to en-
dorse or denounce any candidate
for Office would be sat upon in short
order.
The association will meet in a
neighborhood noted for its wealth
and hospitality, and a very sue
cessful meeting is looked forward to.

DEAD AS HECTOR
When His Body Was Found
Where II Fell.
Another Murder at Kennedy SAT-
urday Night Over a Game
of Craps.

Another killing occurred at Ken
nedy Saturday night.
AS usual the tragedy was the re-
suit of a game of craps.
A gang of negroes were shooting
craps in Mrs. Harris woods, when
row came up between Creed Per-
kins and Jake Williams and Will
liams whipped out pistol and sent
a bullet crashing into Perkins
brain. The man was shot squarely
in the forehead and dropped dead
in his tracks.
Then the negroes present, one
and all, took to their heels leaving
the corpse lying in the woods.
Some one reported the murder
and Sunday morning the dead body
was found where it fell.
The murderer admits the killing
and made no effort to escape, but
witnesses are very scarce and hard
to find. Many negroes have left the
neighborhood to keep from telling
what they know.
Both slayer and slain were young
negroes, farm hands in the vicinity
of Hinsleytown. Coroner Aliens
worth went to Hinsleytown Sunday
and held an inquest. Perkins was
still in the woods where he was
killed.
Press Scott was the only witness
who could be found.
He testified that they had been
gambling and Perkins had been
cursing and threatening Williams,
and had drawn a pistol and said
that he would kill Williams.
The verdict of the jury was death
from pistol wound in the forehead
from a weapon in the hands of Jake
Williams. Williams was arrested,
and delivered to jail by the coroner,
on a charge of manslaughter.
Perkins was an eX-convict.

HENRPS OPINION.
Predicts GoebeI's Election BY
a Big Majority.
But Little Importance to
The Work of The Lexington
Excursion.

Editor Henry Watterson has CIV
en- to the New York Times his views
on the political situation in Ken
tucky:
.sThe election of Mr.. Goebel as
Governor of Kentucky is as certain
as anything on this side of the un-
known" That was the declaration
of Henry Watterson at the Waldrof-
Astoria.
What will the anti-Goebel move
ment amount TOP the reporter
asked.
The anti-Goebel movement, re-
piled Mr.. Watterson, sis the Louis
vile g. Nashville Railroad Company.
Outside of that there is nothing to
it whatever.
"As a matter of fact, there is no
diversion IN Kentucky whatever of
the regular Democratic vote, and it
will be rather increased by the
John Y. Brown movement. l re-
peat that the Goebel ticket is as
sure of its election as anything in
nature.
"And what is your position, Colo
nel?" the reporter inquired.
Il am, he answered, support
ing the regular ticket simply as a
fact. It is one machine against an
other machine, l simply support
the Democratic machine.
Il have no stock either in the
Louisville & Nashville railroad OF
in the Democratic organization in
Kentucky. / have heard of the pro-
posed consolidation of the Louisville
g. Nashville and the Southern rail
road, but that has nothing to dc
with the political fight on hand.
''Is there any anti-Bryan move
ment in Kentucky" Mr.. Waiter
son was asked.
"There is not, he rejoined, 1.-The
least anti-Bryan movement in Ken
lucky. l am seriously thinking of
discounting Mr.. Bryan's peculiar
views with respect to silver and go
ing in with Croker in proclaiming
him the greatest of living Ameri-

Future of the Bicycle.

1t is agreed by all bicycle manufac-
turers that the 1899 models represent
the perfect wheel, and that in the fu-
ture the silent steed will be practical
ly what it is to-day. Improvement
seems to be impossible, as the bicycle
accomplishes everything that is re-
quired of it. Precisely the same
thing is true OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t represents the limit OF
science in overcoming disease, and it
is impossible to made better medi-
cine for the stomach, kidneys, liver or
blood. A few doses of the bitters will
start weak nervous and bloodless peo-
pie on the road to strength. A regu-
lar course of treatment will bring
back the pink to the cheeks and spar
kle to the eye. Sleep will come nat
urally, and it will be refreshing and
healthful. Dyspepsia, Indigestion
and constipation will be completely
banished, and the blessings of true
health bestowed. Never take sub
stitute for this perfect remedy.

FISH STORY.
New York Sun Tells of Eight West vir-
ginians Being Killed.

The New York Sun in an article on
the return Of the 203d New York reg
iment from its camp in the south
says:
sThe stay Of the regiment at Camp
Wetherill was enlivened by trouble
which broke out there between the
Second West Virginia regiment and
the men composing the 203d and 201st
New York, Fourth New Jersey and
Fifth Massachusetts. The men who
arrived here yesterday all had stories
to tell of the feud which resulted in
the killing of eight men of the West
Virginia regiment and the wounding
of a number of men on the other side
who belonged to the Northern regi-
ments. The latter called the West
Virginia men ''snake hunters" and
they in turn retaliated with equally
complementary epithets. The trou-
ole between the regiments began at
Camp Meade and continued until the
New York men broke camp on Satur-
day. The bad feeling engendered was
such that the Fourth New Jersey
Regiment was posted around the
West Virginians' camp as guard
when the 203d men were leaving.
Scamp Wetherill is to be abandon
ed on April 10, the Second West Vir-
ginia being the last regiment to strike
their tents"
1t is believed the returning soldiers
are imposing upon the Sun. No ac-
counts of any such desperate feud
have ever reached this state. There
vas some bad feeling over the killing
Of a West Virginian by New York
sentinel several months ago but no
such slaughter resulted as the Sun de-
tails.

The legislature of 1897 appropriated

The legislature of 1897 appropriated
nearly $4,000 to pay the claims OF
certain "Home Guards" for alleged
services during the Civil War. This
money was paid over to one L. e.
McWhorter, of Charleston, by the
Governor, to be distributed to the
men. 1t is charged that Mr.. Nc
Whorter has only distributed por-
tion Of the fund, and the remainder
is still in his hands. 1t is also chaIg-
by some of the men who had claims
to be paid out of this fund, that Nc
Whorter offered to pay their claims of
at discount of one-thlrd of the
amount due, they to receipt in full Of
the claim for that amount. Many of
the men have accepted the two thirds
in full payment, while others have
received nothing. At the late
session of the legislature, the
House passed resolution to APP
point committee to investigate
the matter, but the Republican Sem
ate refused to pass the resolution.
To appropriate the money at the start
was bad enough, and they did not
care to stir the stencil up any more. =

Who Is to Blame?

Kidney trouble has become so prev
alent that it is not uncommon for q
child to be born afflicted with weak
kidneys.
II the child urinates too often, II
the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when
the child reaches an age when ii
should be able to control the passage,
and it Is yet afflicted with bed-wet-
ting, depend upon it, the cause of the
difficulty is kidney trouble, and the
first step should be towards the
treatment of these important Or
gans. This unpleasant trouble is
due to a diseased condition of the kid
neys and bladder and not habit as
most people suppose.
If the adult has rheumatism; pain
or dull aches IN the back, If the water
passes in irregular intervals or has a
bad odor; if it stains the linen or YES
sci the color of rust; if the feet swell;
if there are puffy or dark circles I'M
der the eyes: your kidneys are the
cause and need doctoring. Treat
ment of some diseases may be delayed
without danger, not SO with kidney
disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
promptly cures the most distressing
cases. Its mild and extraordinary ef-
feet is soon realized. Sold by drug
gists in flfty-cent and dollar sizes.
