Columbia, S. c., July "A telephone
message from spartanburg late last
night announced the death of Capt.
Ralph E. Elliott of this city. Capt.
Elliott was taken to an infirmary in
Spartanburg a few days ago from
Glenn Springs, where he had been sick
for some time, and in the last few
days complications set in which made
his recovery almost impossible.
Capt. Elliott had been in failing
health for some time, but with char
acteristlc determination, he declined to
give up, and finally had to be sent
away to the springs. He has lived in
Columbia since his nephew, Mr.. n
G. Gonzales, came here to represent
the News and Courier. and until The
State was founded in 1891, he was in
charge Of the business department Of
the Columbia bureau. Since the
founding of The State he has been
connected with its business depart
ment.

Gonzales, and sister, Miss Elliott.

county, March Is, 1884. He was edu-
Gated at the University of Virginia,
and was a typical young South Caro-
lima gentleman of means when the
war broke out. He at once volun-
teered. Prior to that time he served
in the state legislature and made
notable speech on the negro question.
He served under Capt. George b.
Cuthbert in the Palmetto Guard at
the bombardment and capture of Fort
Sumter. Then he enlisted as "a pri-
waite for the war in the Beaufort Ar
tillery under Capt. Stephen Elliott
He was one of those men who thought
it more honor to be a private soldier
than an officer and on more than one
occasion declined a captaincy unani-
mously offered him by the men. He
participated in the fight at and re-
treat from Fort Beauregard, Port
Royal harbor. He was appointed by
Gen. Beauregard to the command of
the Guide Corps of the Second mill

ANCIENT
TORTURE
How it has Been Revived
in Modern Times.

An ancient method of poisoning
criminals was to force them to swal-
low large quantities of bulls blood.
Bulls blood is really no poison at all.
Yet the prisoner usually died in agony.
This was caused by the coagulation or
hardening of the bulls blood IN the
stomach. The pressure OF this solid
mass on the heart, lungs and other vital
organs almost always resulted fatally.
That's just like Indigestion. If
your food doesn't digest it remains In
a hard lump n the stomach. Gases are
formed, which crowd and sometimes
actually displace other organs. Many
cases of supposed heart disease are due
to indigestion. The pressure upon the
lungs interferes with breathing. A dis
ordered stomache effects the whole body.
BY the use OF such preparation as
KodOl Dyspepsia Cure all this trouble
is removed Before food can be assimi-
lated into the system it must be re-
duced to proper condition by the di-
gestive fluids. If any Of these fluids
are lacking, perfect digestion is inn
possible. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure sup
plies the missing fluids. Stomach
troubles can't be cured by dieting.
The system demands both suf1ciency
aud variety of food. You can't get
we'll or stay well without it. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach
to take care of any kind of good food.
1t renders dieting unnecessary. 1t
digests what you eat. In this way
1T rests the stomach This rest soon
restores thestomach to perfect health.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure helps the
children too. Weak and sickly little
ones thrive on it. II never fails.
During the last few years my stom.
ach was In such condition that I
couldn't retain the food l ate" writes

Old County Turns to Modern System
of Farming.
Washington, Ga, July 1.-THE large
plantations, once so well known in
Wilkes, are being steadily sold off and
cut UP into smaller and better titled
farms. A few years ago a place of six
hundred acres was owned by one man
in the county. On the place he ran
only two plows and made about twelve
bales of cotton. The place, however,
has been cut up and sold in small tracts
and to-day there are five farms on the
original place of six hundred acres,
running nine plows and making seven
ty-fiye bales of cotton

Saving Device.

Washington, Ga, July 7.-Mr V. S.
Allen, who resides in the western part
of this county, is the possessor of quite
an ingenius labor saving device Under
hull several hundred feet from his
dwelling is a very bold spring of water
From Mr.. Aliens house to the spring
is wire supported by iron arms fast
ened to posts at suitable distances. In
his back porch is a wheel When
water is desired the bucket is loosened
and down to the spring out of sight
1t goes, fastened TO the wire with a
couple of small wheels as travellers
and supporters, Reaching the spring
the bucket fills itself and by cord at
tached to the big wheel in the porch
1t is quickly drawn to the house.
The outfit costs about four dollars
and it insures a fresh bucket of water
at any time, day or night and many a
weary step is saved during intensely
hot or cold weather.
Many people from miles around have
visited Mr.. Aliens home with an idea
of copying the arrangement.
