CAUSE OF LOCKJAW.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in street dirt. 1t is inactive so long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin as in the wounds caused by
percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and danger Of locklaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain
Balm freely as soon as the injury is re,
ceiyed. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and
causes cuts, bruises and like injuries to
heal without maturation and in one third
the time required by usual treatment. 1t
is for sale by Bamberg Pharmacy; b. G.

Our Remarks Endorsed.

The Bamberg Herald remarks that
country editors receive little commenda-
ton for their efforts for the good of the
community. That if they should al some
time or other say something that dis
pleased some cititizen, as they are most
likely to do, they would hear of it, but
they may say a thousand good and helpful
things for the community and no one says
to them a kind word, which is all very
true, but it is human nature, and it is really
refreshing to havea few bouquets while
one is living. The editor who has opinions
and expresses them and who stands for the
best interests of his people and speaks
the truth is obliged to run counter to some
one. But the truth is mighty and will
prevail.-Newberry Herald and News.

your mother suspects"

Fine Sorghum Hay.

I found in Georgia that sorghum hay
was raised by sowing two bushels and a
half of seed to the acre, which made it
yery thick on the land, and the stalks
were very little larger than wheat straws.
II was cut with the mower after heading
and allowed to lay on the ground for ten
davs. Rain will not hurt it. 1t is then
raked up and stored away with perfect
safety in the barn or in stacks. One other
advantage it has is the second crop, which
will come Immediately from the stuoble,

SAY THEY. FEAR
TONC'S BULLETS
Witnesses for Prosecution
in Nguen Lun Murder Case
Believe Lives in Danger
BRIBES OFFERED THEl
Defendants Attorney Asks
for Long Delay in Trial,
but Request Is Not Granted

When the case of Nguen Lun,
charged with murder, was called in
Judge Lawlor's court yesterday to be
set for trial Attorney Hiram Johnson,
for the defendant, asked for a contin-
uance of five weeks, as other engage
ments would prevent him taking part
in an earlier trial.
Attorney Carpenter objected to a
long continuance, alleging that some
of the witnesses for the prosecution
were ready to testify that they had
been threatened with death and bribes
had been offered to others to leave the
Jurisdiction of the court before the
trial. One of the important witnesses
for the prosecution had disappeared
since the trial and conviction Of Quon
Quock Wah.
Johnson pointed OUT that the case
had been in court for over a year and
special counsel for the prosecution
had got a continuance for two months
to enable him to so East. He char
acterized the statement of threats and
bribes as absurd and said that all the
witnesses were in court and no doubt
would be there when the case was
again called for trial.
The Judge said he hoped Johnson
could make his arrangements so as to
have an early trial, and he would con-
tinue the case till next Saturday in
order to give Johnson time to rear
range his engagements IL possible.
1t was during Nguen Lun's trial re-
Gently that proceedings were stopped
when one Of the jurors. David ]. Kel-
ly, informed the court that Edward
w. Gunther, an attorney, had at
tempted to bribe him by giving him
5000 in gold. Gunther was in court
yesterday to be arraigned, but at the
request of his attorney, Samuel NJ
Shortridge, a continuance was grant
ed for two weeks. Judge Burnett of
Santa Rosa will preside at the trial.
Nguen Lun is one Of the Chinese
tong presidents charged with the mur-
der of Tom Yick of the Chinese Edu-
cational Society in May of last year.
Ten presidents were indicted by the
Grand Jury for the murder. Quon
Quock Wah has been tried and con-
yicted, but motion is pending for a
new trial and the other nine have yet
to be tried.

Mr.. and Mrs. Higgins were married

which included the lease of the In

furnishings are valued at SIS 1000, but
there is a mortgage OF $4,000 on
them.
The complainant alleges that the
defendant refused to allow either her
self or her representatives to exam
Inc his books and threatened to
throw into the street any represent
ative Of the plaintiff who appeared.

claims, is $3.50 a month and aside

ChiCkaSaW Election.
Police Officers Ordered Out to
Guard Polling Places.

Muskogce, Aug. S.-There will
be a bitter protest against the In
dian agent or any other government
official sending officers to the polling
places in the Chickasaw nation the
tenth of August. 1t is well-known
that the government officials want
the progressive party i'll power be-
cause they agree i'll policy with the
government. The full-blood ele-
ment knows that the presence of
the U. S. officers at the polls will
have its effect against them. At
the last election in the Chickasaw
and Choctaw nations the u. S. of
fcers cut an important figure, at
least in the events following
when the contests were
on. 1t is claimed that the non-pro-
gressives won this election but that
the federal officers were unwilling
that they should be in power and
prevented them from getting
fair couut in the contested counties.
The feeling ran so high that finally
a troop of soldiers had to be called
out and there was friction between
the Indian agent and the US. Mar
shaI that reached the department
at Washington, and resulted in
armed men taking possession of the
Indian capitol for days. Under
the present conditions the presence.
Of the police at the polling places
IS more likely to start serious trou-
bic than it is to prevent it.

For Labor Vote
To Get 1t President May Override
the Law.

Washington, August 9th. To
strengthen his candidacy with the
laboring classes, the president is
thinking of overriding the law
which prescribes the manner in
which wages shall be fixed at gov
ernment establishments. The law
says that the uniform wage scale in
the surrounding territory shall FIX
the scale for the same class of work
in the government workshops, but
the government pays the same for
eight hours that private individuals
pay for nine.
Machinists at the Washington
navy yard have been clamoring for
more pay and the wage board turned
down their request. The president
today told a committee from the
machinists, headed by James O'C Con
nell, president Of the international
association, that they will be given
the increase to which the wage
board says they are not entitled.
