the age of IL months, our little
girl was IN declining health, with
serious Throat Trouble, and two
physicians gave her up. We were

relief;after taking four bottles she

Nell McKeney, a notorious
character in police circles, was ar
rested yesterday by the police on
the charge Of masquerading as a
man and committing petit larceny.
The moman, who is white and
wears her hair short, has been up
before the recorder several times
on account of her disorderly con-
duct. 1t seems, however, that q
few DAYS ago she decided to dress
up as nan and see what could be
done in way of thievery. She fell
in with an employe of the city and
in sort of confidential mood re.
moved his watch, razor and sew
eral other articles The police
were notified and this morning
thres charges went down on the
b!ottor against her r-vagrancy.
The sentences amounted to $40 OF
60 days. She took the days.
After the sentence is served she
will be made to leave town. Col.

What the Police of Greenv lie Say
About Dispensary Whiskey-Driv-
ing Men to the Asylum

(From the AndcrsonDaily MaiD
The people of Greouvllle think
there Is something queer about
the whiokey dispensed from the
State liquor establishment in the
town. both of the Greenville daily
papers have made comments on
it's unusual effects. The News has
the following.
"Liquor sold by the county

either poisoned or doped according
to the police. Within the past
ten days nearly score of victims
have been picked up on the
streets They were in terrible
shape. With hIoodshot eyes, With
lips purple and bleeding from
gnsshing of the teeth, they raved
in cells aud and acted like de
mons, from II crazy house.
"Last night white man who
was well dressed and Intelligent
to all appearances was found in
the rain, while. making desperate
efforts to heat out his brains
against n brick wall. His lips
were purple, and he was so Graz Y
that he could not give his name.
A dispensary flask partially empty
told the story of his condition.
1t was an unusual case, Judged by
others which have come to The
attention of the police, and the
orinion is general that the cheap
liquor sold by the State is driving
the drunknrds to the asylum.
Before midnight the prisoner was
trying TO end his life.
