"From my personal experience with Peruna I

vate ID. G. Brady Of the Sixteenth
company of Coast artillary was tried
by general courtmartial at Fort

Brady was tried at Beaufort on the
charge Of cutting the throat OF com
tadc while both men were fighting at
a house a few miles outside of the
United States grounds. For this rea-
son he was brought to Beaufort for
trial, and by Mr.. Tillinghast's able
management of the case Braddy's plea
OF self defense was believed by a mer-
clful jury. This time, however. it
was apparently the determination Of
his military Judges to punish him to
the fullest extent. The fate of his
comrade was well remembered. After
serving his time lie VIII be dismissed

Cut His Father,s Thront.

The Greenville correspondent OF
The State says negro farmer, White
by name, living three miles from the
city came to town to search for his
runaway son. The boy Is under Is
years old, and his father, who is a
hardworking Industrious negro, found
him loating the streets. When found
by his father the boy hatly refused to
go back to the farm, whereupon his
father threatened to cause his arrest
but the boy was obstinate and
seemed &c look with favor on the jail
ing proposition. The old man per-
suaded, then decided to use force. He
caught hold OF the boy and held him
for an hour when he broke away and
made his escape. Wednesday MORN
ing early the negro farmer located the
negro youth again, and as he made a
break to catch him, the boy whipped
out a Ions knife and cut his father
across the throat and arms. Officer
Batson came upon the scene at this
juncture. arrested the boy and sum-
moned physician to attend the in
iurieS Of the farmer. The old negro
presented a pathetic spectacle as he
stood in the police station bleeding
from wounds caused by his own SON
mere lad Of less than Is years.
Physicians say the old negro will re-
cover from his wounds.

"A Bad Record

The State says: Attorney General
Gulon of Louisiana has compiled the
statistics of trials for murder and
manslaughter In that State in the last
two years. There were $50 homicides
IN the two years, an average for each
year even higher than South Caro-
lina's bloody record Of 222 In 1903.
The excess may be in part explained
by Louisiana's larger population. But
In the proportion of convictions Louis
lana offers us wholesome lesson. OF
convictions for murder there were 129;
acquittalS for murder l40; convictions
Tor granddaughter l4S; acquittals for
manslaughter 1871. There are 1872
cases pending. The proportion OF
convictions is encouraging and holds
out prospect OF bettered conditions
OF law and order in the near future.

Heavy Rainfall.

a destructive cloudburst occurred in
the Linderman neighborhood of G Green-
vile County OH Wednesday. The water
came from two clouds that met be
tween Llnderman and ST. Albans. one
OF the finest farming sections in the
country. Rain fell in solid sheets for
an hour, the storm covering an area of
six TO eight miles square. Corn and
cotton was washed up by the roots
Reedy Fork creek threw Il great del
uge OF water into Grinin's mill pond
and bottoms thereabouts and formed
one great lake extending over miles
and miles Of growing corn.
An idea OF the extent OF the rain
fall may be gotten from the statement
OF X. II. Jenkins, farmer, who re-
ports that an empty tub stood in Il
nearby field with dry bottom before
the storm while afterwards it was full
to the brim, containing Is inches Of
water. 1t is impossible at this time
TO estimate the extent OF the damage.

The above advertisement, taken

that the birds are wanted for a shoot

cruel and useless sport, II it can be

ing ON these beautiful and helpless
birds. Everything that partakes OF
cruelty is In itself brutalizing, and no
man can indulge in acts Of this kind
and not become lower and more bru-
tai In his nature.
The man who has no compunctions
in regard to shedding, without cause,
the blood Of the lower creatures, will
not hesitate, under some supposed
provOcation and provided he could do
so with impunity, to stain his hands
with the blood of his fellowman; for
it is very certain that no noble or
generous impulse would restrain him
from the commission Of this crime.
Exhibitions Of this kind ought to
be against the law, but it is perfectly
possible to put stop to them 10y the
force OF public opinion. The cultured
and Christian people Of Spartanburg
owe it to themselves to make pro-
test against sport, or rather cruelty,
of this kind and unless they take some
measures TO express their disapnroha-
tion they cannot reasonably complain
il some Of the odium attached to this
brutality Is put upon them.
This is not, by any means, the
writer's first protest against this So
called sport, and it Yon't be the last,
for he proposes to keep up the fight
against it until 1t is no longer in
dulged in, at least in South Carolina.

form of cruelty having originated with

than for two weeks previous. The ne
cessity Of getting together has been
recognized, and there is steady AMI
gradual conveyance of the Democrats
of influence toward a common purpose
q tendency to take a safe position from
which the party may take advantage
Of it's opportunity. Unity of purpose
and harmony ought to win Demo
cratic victory this year, and in spite
Of a few irreconcilables, such har
mony appears to be in sight.
In this encouraging movement the
Democrats Of Nevada seem dispose
to join most heartily Such expressions
of opinion as are heard from men of
influence in the party, indicate this
beyond question, and the action Of
the State Central Committee in the
selection of delegates to the National
Convention men who will be guided IN
their action entirely by their judg-
ment, and who will cast their votes
for the man to head the ticket who,
in their opinion can secure the larg-
est number of votes in the Electoral
. College. It is safe to say that Nevada
will do her share in bringing about q
reunited Democracy.
All the matters over which divis-
Ions now exist. will not be settled
until the National Convention meets.
The results Of that convention will be
accepted and the Democrats Of the
country will fall into line for. the can
.didates and platform selected there.
It was for this reason that the State
committees Of the allied parties in
Nevada refused to instruct our dele.

Of unquestionable integrity and intel.

For example, the speech itself contained carefully pre- pared expression on the labor question This was an after-tnought, not in the original draft, but prepared on Tuesday at the advice of friends.
