NEGRO BURGLAR
STOPS BULLET.
officer 6oad Kills Albert Walker
Thursday Morning.
BROKE INTO fl6UERs' sToRl
But The Officer Was On Guard And
In Struggle The Negro Receives
Death Wound.

AL bert Walker, young negro burg
ar, was shot and instantly killed early
Thursday morning by Officer W. d.
Goad after being detected in the act OF
breaking into the T. N. Figuers store.
The killing was a elimination of a
series of burglarIes sustained by the
merchants of Columbia during the
past eight months. lime and time
again business houses have been broken
into and have sustained losses. Chief
among the sufferers have been I. N.
EIgueIs and Harlan u Evans
Every effort to catch the robbers had
proved unavailing, though Walker
among others had been suspected.
Several weeks since one of the meI-
chants had Walker arrested as a
vagrant and sent to the rock pile,
but he was paid out by some OF his
friends.
Last Friday, Mr.. Figuers, becoming
weary from repeated suffering. en-
ployed Constable Goad to sleep in his
store and keep watch, instIucting him
at the time. unless absolu ely neces-
sary for self defense. not to shoot any
one, but rather to allow the burglar to
escape. Mr.. Goad kent regular watch,
but twice during the week left his
post just before day and returned
home. On those two occasions the
cash drawer was robbed
Thursday morning just before day.
MI. Goad was asleep in the store when
he heard some one raise the back WIN
dow and move a chair off the trap
door leading into the cellar. In few
he heard the man enter the
cellar through the coal hole. Then,
according to Mr.. Goad's statement,
the man came up the steps to the
main floor of the store and approached
within few feet of where the officer
was standing with drawn pistol. The
to halt was given, but instead |
If obeying. the negro dodged into the
,ellaxsand tired to gain his freedom by |
he route of his entrance.
Mr.. Goad says he threw the bar
which fastens the back door and
cached the rear of the store inst rs
he negro was emerging from the coal
lole. That he grabbed at the negro's
'oat collar and fred his pistol in the
'iI. That he missed his hold on the
legro. who gained his feet and grabbed
he officer by the coat collar. That
rot knowing whether or not the negro
vas armed and fearing his own safety
le fired. the ball striking the negro in
he side of the head and causing almost
Instant death.
The officer expresses regret that 1t
ecame necessary tc shoot. He says
% promised Mr. FlgueIs not to nse his
istol except IN actual self defense,
nd would not have made use OF 1t
xcert that he thought his life was in
anger.
The dead burglar is about twenty
ne years Of age, and Is thought to
ave been a member of an organized
ang. His death will doubtless put a
Top to burglaries in Columbia for
he present.

THE LAST MAN
AND LAST DOLLAR
Will Be Sacrificed BY Japan, If
Necessary, In Her War
With Russia.

There is only meager news from the
Japanese attack on Port Arthur which
began Saturday. 1t is announced at
Toxic that fighting still continues, hut
that the Japanese object has not been
accomplished owing to stubborn
resistance. - A London paper prints
a dispatch from Che Foo which con-
tains rumor that the Japanese assauft
was repulsed with heavy loss. The
news from Mukden relates only to
minor skirmishes. Severe weather Is
in Manchuria.
Premier Katsura says Japan is pre-
pared to sacrifice her last man and
her last dollar in the pending war with
Russia. He says the domestic condi
tions of his country are highly salts
factory and that with the war problem
before them the Japanese have become
as one man and are deter mined to
fight to the last extremity.

great at this popular holstery that the
dining room doors had to be locked and

Vanderbilt put up unquestionably one
OF the strongest games ever seen on q
Southern gridiron. Time and again
her backs plowed resistlessly through
the Puppies line for good gains, while
on the defense Vanderbilts line was as
stonewall. Sewanee could make lit
tie Roadway either around the ends or
trough the center, and little Scarborough
was forced to punt the ball deep into
Vanderbilt's territory repeatedly. His
tackling ia four instances cost Wander
bllt touchdowns. and his runs netted
Sewanee's best gains.
Vanderbilt's back field was superb,
Blake being the surest ground gamer,
and Craig the mOet SPECTACULAR, having
his jersey torn from his body twice dur
ing the game. Five touchdvwns and
one goal made up Vanderbilt's total.
Sixty five hundred people saw the
game, the dense crowd about the field
being mass OF bright colors. Wander

the victors to the echo on every advance.

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young /;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. II
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be o,
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Without the farmer produces the beets.
the factory cannot run, and the farmer
is more interested than any other man
in the country in the success of the
sugar industry. He is interested in
having a crop that under ordinary con-
ditions will be very probable crop,
and he is much more interested in the
increased value to all of the lands suit
able for sugar beet culture within the
radius reached by the factories. The
Importance of the industry is shown by
the great interest taken therein by
Secretary Wilson, who is himself a
practical farmer and knows the great
benefit that will accrue to the farming
