preparation that cures badness, pre-

These evils are caused by germ or

sap the life of the hair at the root.

destroyed Newbro's Herpicide is the
only preparation that will do the work.

TAILOR AND SHOEMAKER.
by Their Deaths Afforded Augusta
Food for Speculation.

Augusta. Sept. 4.-Simon Baer, a
tailor, was found dead in a rocking
chair this morning, by the Chronicle
carrier, who delivered his paper He
had been dying with consumption for
a long time.
Mandel Sawilowsky, who ran a small
shop on Broad street, killed himself in
his shop to-day, either accidentally or
with suicidal intent. The coroner's.
jury declined to do more in the verdict
than to say that deceased came to his
death from a pistol bullet entering the
brain"
negro employe was in the shop at
the time Of the killing and was ar
rested, but nothing has developed that
der. Neither is there any known
motive for suicide. Sawilowsky
had no financial embarrass-
ment or family trouble. The negro
says it was accidental; that Sawil-
owsky had just loaded the pistol and
no doubt discharged it while carelessly
handling it.
On the Charleston and Western Caro-
lima Railway a train was derailed and
eight cars were wrecked and burned
One or two of the train crew were hurt.
but nobody was killed.
