DAVIDSON JONES KILLS HIMSELF.
Prominent Farmer Feared Spell OF
Typhoid Fever,
AND CUT HIS THROAT SATURDAY NIGHT WITH a hA1oA
HIS BODY WAS FOUND CEDAR CREEK
SUNDAY MORNING.

living in about two feet of water In
Cedar creek. His throat had been cut
in two places; a rope was also tied
around his waist, and his razor was
found only a few feet away.
1t is presumed that he tied the rope
round his waist, intending to tie
rocks to it and then jump into a deep
hole near by in Cedar Creek, and cut
his throat either just before or just
after he had jumped; but evidently.
he did not wait to reach the deep
water before cutting his throat. The
razor wound, 1t is said, would not
necessarily have proven fatal. but the
unfortunate man doubtless grew weak
from loss of blood, and falling in the
creek, death resulted from drowning.
Mr.. Davidson leaves a wife and four
children. He was an uncle Of Miss
Mabel McAfee, who was recent
visitor to Columbia.

able. with the aid of a mysterious COM
pound, known only to himself, produced
as a result of the years he has spent in
searching for this precious lite-giving
boon, to cure any and every disease that
is known to the human body. There is
no doubt of the DOCTORS earnesiness IN
making his claim and The remarkable
cures that he is daily effecting seems to
bear him out very strongly. His theory
which he advances is one OF reason and
based on sound experience in medical
practice of many years. 1t costs nothing
to try his remarkable "Elixir OF Life"
as he calls it, for he sends it free to any
one who is a sufferer, in sufficient guam
titles to convince of it's ability to cure

Some of the cures cited are very remark

The intelligence of the average

only to the excellent schools, but also
TO the innumerable newspapers and

From a weather standpoint yesterday
was one Of the most dreary Thanks
givings for several years. II was just
between; n neither rained nor cleared
up, but held all day at dreary, cold and
dismal point. with fog in the morning
and q heavy mist in the afternoon.
This was bad weather for outdoor
sports, and football and golf followers
found the enjoyment OF their favorite
sport marred by the inclemency OF the
weather.
But to the majority OF the people who
made a family observance of the day
minded not what the weather was outside
90 long as all was jollity and warmth
within.
During the entire day save for an hour
or two in the early forenoon. when people
were going 10 their places OF worship or
20 family reunions. the streets were
pretty we'll deserted. presenting an APP
pearance OF loniness seldom witnessed,
even on a stormy Sunday. Ii was one OF
the lightest days for street car travel for
a long time.
