Only Makes a Bad Matter Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought OF 1t
but the fact must be apparent to every
one that constipation is caused by a
lack of water in the system, and the use
of drastic cathartics like the old fash
toned pills only makes bad matter
worse. Chamberiain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets are much more mild and
gentle in their effects, aud when the
proper dose is taken their action is so
natural that one can hardly realize it is
the effect of medicine. Try % cent

DEATH TERMINATES
 FEUD AT SHOPPERS
coRoNER'S JURY FINDS JAMES H. DUDLEY CAME TO HIS DEATH BY PISTOL SHOT FIRED BY UNI KNOWN PERSON.

Tuskeekee, November 4.-(special)- The death of James H. Dudley at Shor- ters marks the continuation of a feud which has been actively engaged in for a week
 Last Saturday Metcalf Letcher, who harbored grievance against Dudley shot at him three times in the formers store. Dudley ran and took refuge in the home of a Mr. Lyon. He was followed by Letcher and his brother who watched the house night and day to catch sight of Dudley. The fugitive refused to leave his fortress until Wednesday morning shortly after midnight.
 He succeeded in getting as far as the barn without being detected. On leaving the barn, however, he was seen by the Letcher's who fired at him with shot guns loaded with buckshot. Nine of the shot took effect but failed to kill Dudley returned to the Lyon residence where he was refused admittance. He then crawl ed under the house. At daybreak shot rang out and on investigation Dudley was found with pistol ball through his head.
 The coroner's jury found that the shot was fired by the deceased or by an un- known party. The cause of the difficulty Is not definitely known. Dudley IS sur yived by his mother and two children.
