p.ddler srutally Murdered.

Peddler Brutally MURDERED.
Abram surasky, 80 years old, Jew
ish peddler, was murdered while on
his rounds near Hawthorne, in Aiken
county, a few days ago. The body
was not recovered until some time al
terward. George Toole and Lee Green
have been arrested as the result OF the
coroner's inquest.
The murdered man was thirty years
of age, and one of five brothers, Wso
ran small stores in Aiken, all peaceful,
quiet citizens, harming no one, as is
characteristic of the race. On the day
of the murder Mr.. Surasky loaded his
wagon with his packs and started on
his rounds. He is supposed to have
stopped at Green's house to sell his
wares, as it was his custom to do, and
it is alleged it was then that the two
men carried out their plan Of robbery
and murder.
Surasky was shot twice in the back
with a gun, one arm was almost sew
cred from his body and his head and
body were hacked horribly with an ak.
When the body was discovered it Was
impossible to recognize any semblan2e
of a human being in the face, as de-
composition had set in. Buzzards fly
ing over the spot attracted the atten-
tion of men passing by. Sheriff Alder
man and the coroner went to the
scene of the murder and on searching
for clews tue officers found pool of
blood in the yard OF Lee Green's mousse
and other blood stains were discoV'
ered on melon rinds and the bloody
ak was found under the house.
At the coroner's inquest it was de-
veloped by the clews found that his
assailants shot Surasky twice in the
back and then cut him up with the ak.
The shots evidently did not suffice 20
subdue their victim and the ak was
used to finish him. After their WORK
was accomplished they loaded the
CORPSE in the victims wagon and
drove to a lonely spot in the woods
and tied the horse to tree and left it.
The horse, becoming hungry, broke
loose and pulled the wagon with its
ghastly load away from the spot
where he was tied to within mile
and a half of Hawthorn, when 1t was
discovered.

Greenwood,

When school boy we remember read
ing about Humboldt standing on the
Andes at such an altitude that he saw
the lightning flash and heard the thunder
roll far beneath his feet, while the sun
shone bright and the sky was clear and
calm around him.
Last week they had six days of good
hay weather on Patch Mountain, while
here it was otherwise; and on Friday,
about / o'clock p. NJ, it rained for
twenty minutes from a little cloud over
head, wetting the hay so that it is still
out on this Thursday morning with no
prospect of hay weather.
Floyd Morgan was at work for Oscar
Peabody at the time, and says that while
it was raining here they were getting in
hay on the mountain, while the weather
was all that could be asked for. That's
history repeating itself with variation
and on small scale, since in this case
there was no thunder and lightning.
Seriously, if the weather continues like
this when will the farmers get their hay?
Jacob Paine of Newry was along here
the other day selling mop-wringers and
potato sprayers. Mr.. Payne was former
ly carpenter and lived in Boston, but
was obliged to move farther from the
salt water on account of his health, and
so he bought and settled on farm in
the above mentioned town. Having
travelled through all those back towns,
and up on Magalloway River, he was
able to give quite history of that part
of the state, which was highly interest
ing.
Mrs. John Howe of Bethel is still liv-
ing and there now seems to be slight
chance for her recovery. Her sister,
Fannie Brooks, is still with her.
Friday morning. 1t now looks as
though some poor hay would be got in
to-day, and also that there would be a
chance for the women folks to dry their
washing.

When Water Wnn Avoided

Until comparatively recent times
there was d medical prejudice against
drinking water. Sir William Vaughan
In his Natural and Artificial Direc-
lions For Health" declared that water
fought seldom to be drunk" Another
doctor admitted that 1t might be
healthful for children, but not for men
Except some odd, abstemious one
among thousand perchance, degen-
crate and of u doggish nature, for dogs
of nature do abhor Wine" Indeed, the
recommendation Of water as bever-
age was supposed to be the sign Of the
quack. Even Wesley in his primitive
Physic" wrote Of 1t with caution:
Drink only water If it agrees with
your stomach: If not. good, clear small
beer"

Annals of Oxford.

The Democrat has received from Hon.
Marquis f. King of Portland a copy of
Annals of Oxford" compiled and pub
liShed by Mr.. King. The annals extend
from the incorporation of the town of
Oxford in 1929, to 1850. They are pref
aced by brief account of the settle
ment of Shepardsfield Plantation, out of
which were finally erected the towns of
Hebron and Oxford. The last half of
the book is genealogical, giving with
such completeness as possible the older
families of the town. Altogether it is a
book of over 500 pages. Two or three
chapters from the book, together with
the accompanying maps and pictures,
have been contributed by Mr.. King to
the Democrat and published in our
columns during the past two or three
years.
Mr.. King undertook this work to pre-
serve large amount of valuable matter
which might otherwise have gone into
oblivion. He is particularly well fitted
for it, being native of Oxford, and al
ways taking great interest in historical
matters. 1t is worthy of note that he did
not only the literary work of collecting
the material and putting it in form, but
also the mechanical work of printing the
book, as kind of recreation, or more
strictly avocation. 1t has been labor
of love with him, and the many to whom
its results are of value should be CRATE
full that he has found time to accomplish
it, in the midst of life of constant re-
sponsibilities and varied activities.

There are in existence In Great

ITO make the drink that is now much
used. called coffee.
"The coffee berries are to be bought
at any Druggist, about seven shillings

please, and over charcoal fire, In an

and boil 1t gently one hour. and 1t Is mt
