Mr.. Levers Dwelling Burned.

News has just arrived of the burn
ing Of the dwelling Of MIR. P. B.
Levers, two and one-half miles south
of Peak. The particulars are not at
hand, but it was evidently the work
of an incendiary, as no one had lived
in the house for some weeks. Mr..
Lever was living with his son.in-law,
MIR, Chapman, several hundred yards
distant. Several out houses also
burned. The house was large,
two story building, painted and one
of the best in tie community.

The liability to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is in good con-
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then ali refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti-
tuition so weakened that simple
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy
nerves.

and inspiration to those who have
lived under it's influence.
While always man of lofty
character. and upright and consistent
in his conduct, it was not until late
in life that be made g public profession
of religion, when he became connect
ed with the Methodist church and be-
came active and useful in the service
of the Master.
He endured his suferipgs during
his last long and painful illness with
courage and fortitude and died in the
triumphs Of the Christian faith. His
honored and useful life terminated
July 1st, 1884 His eldest daughter,
Amanda Nj. was married to Jacob
Wolfe, wealthy planter of Sandy
Run. who died Confederate soldier
in 1862. The we'll known j. Archie
Wolfe, of Sandy Run, was her only
child. Mrs. Wolfe was subsequently
married to Henry J. Seibles, Esq, OF
Sandy Run, where they are still liv-
ing prosperously.
DR.. T. Shelton Fox married Miss
Mamie Youngblood, of Bstesburg,
and lived there until the end of his
life in March 1900. He was promi-
nent and successfully professionally and
otherwise, and was much loved by
the people of his community. Four
sons and one daughter survive.
Mary J. was married to A. j. Nor
ris, of Edgefeld, who became dis
tinguishel lawyer and was widely
known for his business success and
financial ability. His only daughter
was msrTied to Lieut.. Col. James Fl.
Tillmap, OF the Second South Caro-
lima regiment Ct troops Of the late
Spanish Wai; and who is at this time
Lieutenant Governor Of the State.
James P, died in Savannah, Gs.,
twenty-four years since after q sue
cessful business career. He married
Miss Kraft, of that city. John j.,
married Miss Ella Myers, of Sumter,
and has an interesting family of
three sons and two daughters. He
resides at the old home at Lexington
Court House.
This closes an interesting, but too
meagre account of the life and char
acter of one of Lexington's noble
men. Itis regretted that nothing
more is at hand. He was open
hearted ard generous aud ought TO
be credited publicly with his many
benefections, but he was so quiet
and unassuming in his conduct that
scarcely did his left hand know what
his right hand did in his unosten-
tatious liberality.

Clerks Wise Suggestion.

Il have lately been much troubled
with dyspepsia, belching and sour
stomach" writes NJ. S. Mead, lead
ing pharmacist of Attleboro, Mass.
Il could eat hardly anything without
suffering several hours. My clerk
suggested Il try Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure which T did with most happy
results. 7 have had no more trouble
and when ore can go 10 eating mince
pie, cheese, candy and nuts after
such a time, their digestion must be
pretty good. I endorse kodol Dys
pepsia Cure heartily" You don't
have to diet. Eat all the good food
you want but don't overload your
