Augusta Man on Long Fast.

Augusta, June 10.-Augusta has a
successful rival of DR.. Tanner. This
is the forty-third day that DR.. w.
Sterling Wilkinson, well known
young physician of this city, and an
honor graduate of the medical de,
partment of the University of Geor-
gia, has gone absolutely without
food. The fasting of DR.. Wilkinson
is in the nature of a scientific treat
ment for an aggravated case of indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia, with which he
is afflicted. For years he has had
the trouble, and, failing to get re-
lief from all other treatments,
adopted the fasting treatment.
Throughout the fast he has suffered
no inconvenience, although he has lost
weight rapidly. Naturally man of
slight build, although tall, he is now
a living shadow of his former self.
DR.. Wilkinson resides with his
father, William M. Wilkinson, at
AIT Second street, and throughout
the fast has confined himself to the
home and its grounds. He takes
daily exercise, including walks about
the house and grounds and used a
pair of light dumb bells. He declares
that he feels strong all the time, al
though any exertion he undergoes
proves to him that he is quite weak.
His stomach is giving him no trouble
whatever. He will continue the fast
till conscious of normal and con-
tinued hunger, when, it is claimed,
the cure will be complete.

EMPLOYMENT FOR FLOOD sUFFERERs.
Columbia special to the News and
Courier The superintendent of q
new cotton mill in Lancaster, of
which Leroy Springs is president,
was in the city to-day endeavoring
to get to Spartanbprg. He wants to
hire operatives and will take about
$50 families, or about 500 people.
Through Secretary Watson, OF
the Chamber of Commerce, he got
in telegraphic communication with
President Twichell, of the Clifton
Mile, who said he would be glad to
have the operatives employed in the
Lancaster Mills. The superinten-
dent left here for Charlotte, hoping
to get to Clifton to arrange for the
operatives to go to Lancaster. The
Whaley Mills here have arranged to
employ about 100 families.
THE DAMAGE AT LooKHART.
Union special to the News and
Courier: No truth in the report that
Lockhart Mills were washed away.
The conductor of the train running
between Lockhart Mills and Look
hart Junction, on the Southern Rail-
way, says: Water rose SO feet, but
the superintendent, being warned of
the approach of the torrent, immedi-
ately put all hands to work building
a dyke of sand bags, which protected
the mills and operatives houses.
The only buildings washed away
were the recently built ice plant and
ware-room. The damage is esti-
mated at about $4,000. The damage
to cotton and cloth was slight, and
no damage whatever to the mill
building.

wiIcox's Sentence Stands.

On June 10 the Supreme Court of
North Carolina affirmed the decision
OF the lower court in the case of
james e. Wilcox convicted of the
murder of Nellie Cropsy. Wilcox
was sentenced to 80 years in the pen
itentiary. Wilcox, charged with
killing his sweetheart, Nellie Crop
sey, and with throwing her body into
the river in front of her home at
night, was first convicted of murder
in the first degree and sentenced to
be hanged. He appealed and was
granted a new trial, this being held
in Perquimons county in the spring
of this year. The case having been
moved he was found guilty of mur.
der in the second degree and SEN
fenced to 30 years in prison. He ap-
pealed again and his attorney fought
against the charge of the Judge and
insisted upon the suicide theory to
account for Nellie Cropsey's death.
The court holds that there was no
evidence of suicide and that Wilcox
is guilty of first killing Nellie Crop
sey and then secreting her body in
the river.
