Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork, " was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most. e.ssss~
SCOTS Emulsionisthem
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and Lypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

vanced regarding the recent order Of
the Rock Island company stopping
work on the Choctaw extension to Tu.
cumcari. 1t is said that the matter is
merely the result Of . temporary dii-
iiculty between the contractors

The real reason why the work has

pany Il shy Of dInero. The tact that
the Rock Island road was mortgaged
yesterday for ss.soo.ooo lends color to
this assertion. No doubt when the

Chief Of Police Killed.

Chief of Police, J. B. King, was
shot and killed by Joe Davis at the
home of the latter on Factory Hill,
in Bamberg, on February 4th. The
incidents which led up to the deplor-
able tragedy are about as follows:
Davis and his wife had been hav.
ing row that morning and Davis
had threatened her with punishment
of a summary kind, she reported
the circumstances to Sheriff Hunter,
with the purpose of having her hua-
band placed under peace bond.
The Sheriff sent the Chief OF Police
up to the house to try and settle the
matter. When Mr.. King arrived at
the house and ascended the steps,
Davis, who was in the front room,
called to him to stop. King contin-
uedto advance to the front door, on
which he tapped. Whether be
pushed the door open, or whether it
was opened from tie inside, will
never be known but it is certain as
the door opened, Davis, who was
standing just inside, fred on the
officer, using a double barrelled shot
gun loaded with small shot. King
reeled from the piazza and expired a
few minutes later. Davis sur1en-
dered:
Mr.. King was we'll and favorably
known to large number of the peo-
pie CT Lexington county, be having
done business in Columbia as pre-
prietor of the Kings Racket Store,
and was generally esteemed for his
high business qualities, his gentle
manly department and his affable
and genial disposition. After his
business misfortune in Columbia,
which arose from having his stock of
goods consumed by FIRE, he went to
Batesburg and lived there quite a
time AMI then went to Charleston
and from thence to Bamberg to
to take charge of the dry goods busi-
ness of John A Spann. He was
elected to his present office on the
and 'ook charge on January lst.

county for the many and varied
kindness bestowed upon us, not only
during this trip, but whenever it bas
been our lot in life to to be thrown
upon their generosity and hospitality.
We like to get out among the people
to roipgle with them in their homes
and learn their views upon matters
Interesting alike to town and country
life. Our heart was made to rejoice
with exceeding great Joy to find the
people in as prosperous condition as
they are the beginning of the plant

more favorable circumstances than
for years before. The majority part
of them are we'll provided with prov
ender and the other necessaries of
life for man and beast. But few of
them comparatively speaking, will
have to purchase supplies to any
considerable amount. They are more
hopeful of the future and conse-
quently in a happier and more con-
tented frame of mind.
We were glad to learn that tie
laborious Efforts our efficient Auditor,
G.. A. Derrick, to accommodate the
taxpayers in every way possible is
duly appreciated by them. He is
growing more popular every day as
his faithfulness in the discharg of his
duties is being more fully understood.
