Summer Vacation Spoiled.

went to the orchard after apples. and
escorted her to neighbor's. That first
evening We sat up rather late singing
songs and playing on the melodeon.
Next day her father took me out to the
barn and said:
"'Joel, bein' as you arc comm into the
family I'd like to ask you for the loan of
$780,
"'What do you mean?' asked.
"'Lu-v, luv,' he replied, with wink
at me and nod toward the house.
II turned him down as gently as could,
but before noon his son Sam, winked me
out into the orchard, and smiingly said:
"'Go right ahead. shall be proud of
you as brother in law.

"'No, of course not he laughed, but |

letters and take the remainder out in the

Farmer Robbed by Highwaymen.

SrARTANBuRG, S. c., October 23.-
John Cantrell was held up and robbed of
about $500 in cash miles from this
place last night by three white men, all
strangers.
Cantrcll had been sent to market with
cotton by George r. Branscomb, of Mill
vile Hill, and was returning to the farm,
when, as he reached thickly wooded Sec
ton, the reins were seized by one man,
when another covered him with a gun
until the third relieved him of his cash.
They then made their escape into the
woods.
Cantrell returned to Fingerville cotton
mills and reported the hold-up.
A telephone message to the police de-
partment announced the robbery, and Off
GERS were sent in search for the highway
men, description having been furnished
by Cantrell.

you feel good all over. Mrs. Cranfill, of
Troy, l. T., writes: For a number of years

THURSDAY, October 30, 1902.

Next Tuesday is the day for the general
election. State officers, United States
Senator, and Congressman are to be
elected. In several districts the Repub-
licans have nominated a candidate for
Congress. While this is only done for
the purpose of making contests, still every
white Democrat should go to the polls
and vote. We hope to see Bamberg
county do its full duty by the nominees
of the Democratic party.

We have talked to several of our most
prominent citizens who are large tax
payers, and very few are in favor of put
ting any more money into the present
school building in the way OF repairs.
They favor nice brick building, located
in a more central portion of the town,
and the bonding of the school district for
this purpose. We are inclined to believe
that our people are generally opposed to
any temporary measures, but want good
building, centrally located, and are will
ing to be taxed for this purpose.
~
We notice that one or two newspapers
are rather opposed to the constitutional
amendment to be voted on next Tuesday
at the general election, arguing that the
proceeding is too much like reputation.
Well, it is reputation, if one is pleased
to call it such, but it must be remembered
that the bonds were issued and debt put
upon these townships for a railroad
which was never built. Therefore it is
certain that the taxpayers have never re-
ceived one particle of benefit. Weventure
the assertion that few of US would care
to pay debt when we did not get value
received, and this is the case in nutshell.
We expect to vote "yes'' on the amend
ment, and we believe most people will
vote the the same way.

Brooks Harley Shot.

"PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Oct. 26.-Ly-
ing on his bed with the knowledge that
he is about to die, w. Brooks Harley, the
proprietor of the Mahattan club, who was
shot in the breast yesterday morning,
bravely takes upon himself the blame for
the fatal shot, which he yesterday declar-
ed was fired at him by his wife.
'The cause of the shooting is mystery.
Harley arrived home from his club at a..
m, and in few minutes thereafter the
police were summoned. Upon their ar
rival Harley declared that his wife had
shot him, but afterwards he denied this,
and has since stoutly maintained, along
with the other members of the family,
that he shot himself and that it was pure
ly accidental. AS there was no witness
outside the family, it will never be known
unless the family should tell what oc-
Cured"
WHO HE IS.
Harley was originally from Barnwell,
S. c., of good family, and well known
throughout the South.
He ran gaming house here for some
time. He conducted like establishment
in Columbia, and Howard Allen, a friend
of his, was killed at the foot of the steps
one Sunday night in row with man
named Smith. An Indictment, which has
never been brought up, was rendered
against Harley, and he was the chief wit
ness against Smith in the murder trial in
which the latter was acquitted.
1t was during the trial in Columbia that
Solicitor Thurmond created sensation by
stating that Harley was perfect gentle
man, although gambler. The pastors of
all the churches in Columbia condemned
this statement.
Harley was in gambling scandal in
Augusta, and left this city. He after
ward went to Savannah and was COM
PEELED to leave there. He was a man of re-
markably distinguished appearance and,
despite his business, had many friends all

A Weak
St0n1ach

Indigestion is often caused by over.
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need q good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel

which some people suffer after meals.
