The most miserable beings in the world
are those suffering from dyspepsia and
liver complaint. More than seventy-dve
per cent. of the people in the United States
are afflicted with these two diseases and
their effects such as sour stomach, sick
headache, habitual costiveness, palpita-
ton of the heart, heartburn, water
brash. gnawing and burning pains at the
pit of the stomach, yellow skin, coated
tongue and disagreeable taste in the
mouth, coming up of food after eating,
low spirits, etc. Go to your druggist

his Office four judges Of probate nave
died. These were the probate judges
of Kershaw, Horny, Colleton and Fair
field counties. Gov. Hayward has ar.
ranged for special elections to be held

visorS had not pursued legal course
in issuing certificate OF election to

annulled. w. +. Beck, of Clifton pre-

To Vote on School Bonds.

An election has been ordered for
April l1th, for the purpose OF voting
bonds for the erection OF school
house in school district No. IS, South
Clifton. The vote will be on the
proposition to issue SO, OO0 in bonds.
There are now about one hundred
school children residing in that pre-
cinct, and the population is increas-
ing more rapidly than that OF any
other section OF town. 1t is expected
that by the commencement Of the
next school term there will be one
hundred and fifty school children re-
siding in the precinct, hence the
trustees have acted wisely in asking
the people for their sanction TO issue
bonds 70 the amount OF $1,000, which
will erect and equip a frst-class
building Of four rooms. The ERA
does not apprehend that there will be
any opposition. Some may claim that
a building Of the size proposed is not
now needed. but there can be no doubt
that its capacity will be fully taxed
inside OF two years, hence it j.

Readers of the ERA will remember
that at the last term of court Mr.. and
Mrs. Trimble were sentenced to life
terms in the penitentiary for an awful
crime perpetrated against the daugh
ter of Mrs. Trimble by a former hus-
band. The case of Mrs. Trimble was
taken to the supreme court of the
territory, which last week held that
there was an error in the Indictment,
and ordered the defendant discharged.
The crime for which the couple were
sentenced, occurred at Duncan, where
the daughter still resides. The couple
had left the country, and were capt
ured at Cananea and brought back for
trial. There was no doubt in the
minds of the jury that the woman
was an accessory to the crime, hence
her liberty being acquired through a
technicality will not be appreciated
by the people who are familiar with
the crime.

Hon. Gus Williams, who represented
the eastern half of Graham county in
the territorial assembly, arrived home
Monday night, looking somewhat faded
from the effects OF a strenuous life at the
capital. He was on the committee
which investigated Secretary Stod-
dard's Office in the interest of the
Cowan bill. 1t will be remembered
by readers of this paper that majority
of the committee after the investiga-
tion reported against the bill, but Mr..
Williams brought in q minority report,
which was not printed in the Phoenix
papers. Mr.. Williams did not fall
under the hypnotic spell of the secre-
tary, and it was mainly through his
report that the bill was finally
passed. This bill will be the means
of bringing into the treasury of the
territory an annual revenue of frO!2
$50, 900 to 500 Another important
measure To the tax payers Of the terri
tory is the new law under which it
will be possible to collect delinquent
taxes by the sale of property by an
order of the district court and j sale
OF the property by the sheriff, who
puts the purchaser into possession OF
the property. This law will be the
means of collecting a large amount OF
delinquent taxes in this county.
