WAR STORY
December. 1858

when he was wounded, and Robert E.
Lee took command Johnston expected
to rout the Federals in that battle anu
raise the siege Of Richmond. He al
most succeeded. Three weeks later
Lee repeated the attempt and McClei,
Ian abandoned the siege. But for the
wound at Fair Oaks, Johnston might
have kept back the debut Of Lee in
definitely and changed the whole course
Of the war in Virginia.
Lees first stroke when he took up
the fight against Little Mac" at the
gates of Richmond was to carry out
former plan Of Johnston and smash
the flank Of the besieging army. The
Federals were astraddle Of the Chicka-
hominy river, which had low banks.
swampy border and was subject to
sudden foods. Johnston gave orders to
attack McClellan's right flank on the
very ground where, later, Lee attacked
in the battle of Gaines Mill with
great success. Suddenly the heavens
opened with torrential rains, which de-
stroyed McClellan's bridges on his left
flank, thus separating the right wing
from the left. Johnston fell upon the
isolated left wing, surprising the troops
in their camps. At the close Of hard
days fight, in which the Federals were
driven at every point, he was wound
ed, and, as at Shiloh when Albert Sid
ney Johnston fell, the assailants halted
in their tracks and gave the enemy
time to reform and strengthen the
lines. Next day. like Grant at Shiloh.
Mcclellan forced the fighting and re
covered the lost ground.
General Joseph f. Johnston was n
native Of Virginia and, like Robert +.
Lee, resigned his commission in the

state. He was the same age rs Lee AMI

KILLS GERMS OF cATARRH,
Hyomei Goes to the Root of The Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cure.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and soscalIed
system tonics Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live
in the air passages end increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrhs Killing
the germs in the air passages, it enters
the blood with the oxygen, destroys
the microbes in the blood and effectual-
ly drives from the system all traces of
catarrhal poison,
Thousands of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made
by this remedy. j. S, Nugent, treasurer
of the American Union Life insurance
Co., of New York city. writes: "Hy-o-
mel has completely cured my daughter
of catarrh from which she has been suf-
fering for years"
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of Hy-
Omei to cure catarrh is the fact that J.
G.. Dodson will agree to refund the
money if you say Hyomei has not cured
yon.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81. 90 and consists of an inhal or that can
be carried In the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The
inhaler lasts a lifetime, and If onssboUtlee
does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for so cents.
Now ls good time to cure your
catarrah.

And Inquisitive Ones Made Strange

A very strange story was told in
Americus yesterday of an alleged oc.
curence in an adjoining county which.
if true, shows up a colored funeral in a
bad light. A we'll known citizen tells
the story here.
A day or two ago a big funeral was
pulled off a little railroad town near
Americas.
The corpse came by express, and
numerous members of the clergy and
mourners were at the depot to do all
honor to the departed brother
The casket was very large and of
unusual weight, requiring the strength
of dozen stalwart men to load it into
the wagon. This fact caused no little
comment, and the more it was talked
the greater did suspicion grow.
That night the grave was opened by
curious ones. The coffin contained
rifles instead of the body of
a much lamented "corpse-"

RIGHT IN her HOME
A LADY IS ROBBED.
Was Confronted in II llway
Last Night.
LIFE THREATENED BY A NEGRO
Terrible Experience of Lee Street
Lady Residing Within Block of Po~
lice Barracks-FelI Painting, Thief
Robs Her Room.

The most daring and outrageouI
robbery ever committed in AmericuI
occurred last night at residence with
in block of the police barracks and a
time when the streets were brightly
lighted and hundreds of people were
hurrying by to their homes,
The Apperson residence on Lee
street, near the artesian well, was the
scene of the crime.
Found alone in the hallway of her
home, Mrs. L. S. Apperson's life Yves
threatened by an unknown negro, who
after wards proceeded to rob her apart
ments of money, etc.
The very daring of the crime is we'll
night beyond belief.
Mr.. and Mrs. Apperson occupy the
second fl )or of NJ 808 Lee street,
while Mr.. John Gordon and family
have the first floor. Mrs. Apperson sat
alone on her verandah at dusk, Mr..
Apperson not having yet returned
though expected any moment.
Mr.. Cord IN and his family were
seated at their supper table.
Mrs. Apperson finally entered the
dark hallway, and was there confron-
ted by the negro. Petrlfied with fright,
the lady could neither move or speak.
The negro called the name of another
lady who had recently occupied the
house, mistaking Mrs. Apperson for
her.
He threatened to kill her if she either
moved or spoke.
Mrs. Apperson did neither, but
tainted from fright and fell to the floor
of the dark hallway.
Knowing that she had tainted, the
negro ran quickly into her bedroom
and proceeded to ransack the trunks
and bureau drawers. No attempt was
made to injure the lady, the thief only
wanting money. From drawer he
secured sixty dollars.
With this booty he ran down the
stairway and escaped.
It was several minutes ere Mrs, APP.
person revived and screamed for help.
Her condition, as the result of this
fright, is probably serious.
Police and others came quickly to
the scene, but the bold thief had es~
capped The officers think they have a
strong clue and are busy at work in
that direction.
Amerious has never known such a
daring, outrageous affair as this, and if
the scoundrel is caught he will be
given the limit. If such robbery can
be committed in the very centre of the
city, any crime may follow now, it
would seem.
The dastardly robbery and threat of
murder caused much excitement IN the
city as the particulars were rapidly
recited.

BE Spirited to the Finish.

The contest for county commission"
ership honors now engages the atten-
ton of voters of Sumter county, and
the campaign now opening IN earnest
promises to be about the liveliest the
county has known in long while ere
the issue is settled early in October.
For, while many may offer, but five
can thus be honored.
The election of board of commits
missioners will take place at the regu
lar county election in October, and
only about three weeks remain wherein
the asplrants can campaln.
But, really, there is no campaigning
to be done, as the office is an honorary
one only.
The announcement of Mr.. J. I. Fer
guson appeared Sunday, while the an
nouncements of Messrs J, W. Wheat
ley, W. L. Thomas, John A. Cobb and
r. j. Perry appear this morning. One
or two other announcements will ap
pear tomorrow, according to yesterday.
Mr.. Wheatley, Mr.. Perry, Mr.. Cobb
and Mr.. Thomas are members of the
present board. Each one stands upon
his own merit in asking the support of
the voters of the county.
Of the probable dozen candidates,
each one is toting his own skillet,
fguratively speaking.
In term of service Mr.. Wheatley
ranks the other aspirants, though the
three other gentlemen have served
many years on the county board. And
all of them have, at all times, striven
for the best interests of the county in
the administration of public affairs.
Their cours, has been economic, yet
liberal, and they confidently stand
upon their record. Each gentleman is
well known personally to every voter
in Sumter county.
The business interests of Sumter
have prospered under their adminlstra-
ton.
A splendid courthouse, a fine jail
and other public buildings have been
erected during the tenure of office Of
several of these gentlemen, and by id
ing but a few mills to the annual
tax rate. And Sumter today has levied
as small tax as any Georgia county.
And there is money In her treasury
to meet any expenditures.
Just now the county is building a
superb system of public roads, just be-
ginning the great work. and in few
years her highways will be the pride
of every citizen in Sumter.
This much as to the record of these
gentlemen; much more can be said.
But there are other aspirants for the
honors and these, if elected, would
serve with great ability in the dis
charge of their official duties. The
Times Recorder is the supporter of no
man or set of men, and is willing for
the voters of the county to settle the
pending issue.
Other names will be presented and
these, if worthy, will be as freely and
as cordially presented.

A pistol shot rang out on Lamar
street at s O'Clock last night and hun
dreds hurried to the scene, the daring
robbery of an hour before causing the
public to think that tragedy had
occurred.
A fight between two Young men,
Nick Lamar and Tom Joiner, was the
cause of the excitement, neither being
seriously hurt.
The trouble was the result of an old
misunderstanding.
Young Lamar received two or three
severe blows in the face, and it was
he who fred the pistol at close range.
Though within few feet of JOINER,
the bullet missed him. Only one shot
was fred.
Both young men were arrested, but
