S. P. Goddard Assaulted

Mr.. S. P Goddard. prominent
planter of this county, as he stepped
from the south bound passenger
at his home last Wednesday evening
was assaulted by F. J. Tut, who
runs store at Marathon and was so
severely beaten about the head, that
he has since been in a critical con-
dition from the effects OF it.
The cause of the beating we have
been unable to learn, but Mr.. Tut
claims he was justified in the act.
Sheriff Crouch was telephoned to
about the difficulty and sent an officer
TO arrest Mr.. Tut and bring him to
the city. The officer and prisoner ar
riven in the city Thursday evening
and he was lodged in the county jail
A preliminary hearing was called
for Friday morning but owing to
Mr., Goldfarbs serious condition il
was postponed until Monday, The
defense is represented by Shields and
Boddie, while Percy and Campbell
will appear for the prosecution

The River Front

For many years the cleaning up OF
the river front has been favorite
dream and project OF men and women
OF GreenvilIe who sare interested in
the city's Improvement, who wish to
see nuisance and menace to health
abated, or who simply hate mneces-
sary ugliness and vice where beauty
or at least decency could be made to
replace il.
For eight months in the year re
spectacle people avoid the levees as
much as possible The river loses its
majesty and grandeur when it falls
below the banks, but II is never COM
moAplace, and the levee and the
front could be made, if once it is freed
from its Objectionable features, pro-
menade which would attract the pop
ulation and visitors to Greenville as
to other part OF the city
could do For four months in the
year not even the moral and physical
dirt OF the front IS sufficient 70 keep
the people away
The river in spring
presents grand and even
awful spectacle. 4 sunset over the
water at flood height IS sight to
make the greatest painter that ever
lived despair At times even the
squalor and responsiveness that human
kind Crates is powerless to overcome
the attraction 10 the water side. II
the attraction to he water side. 1t IS
an insult TO nature, as well as All in
justice to the citizens that the men,
women and children who throng the
levee al such times must face the
sights and sounds and smells that

The Leyec Board has commenced
good and public spirited work BY

tiers must go. The Sunshine Society
engages TO carry it on by beautifyins
the region with grass and trees. Fo
this relief much thanks. But there
remains yet work to do if il is pos
sible OF accomplishment.
The Levee Board and the Sun

FAILING EYESlGHT
Caused by Improper Food.

Writer'S who live sedentary lives and
who Use coffee are apt TO he troubled by
faulty vision, which they usually attribute
to overwork. That they are sometimes
mistaken is proved by the following state
ment from an old newspaper man:
For nearly 40 years | had earned my
living with the pen. A few years ago
began to suffer from occasional blind
spells My vision frequently became OBJ
scured by what may be called kaleidoscope
blurs, in which constantly changing figures
like wheels, stars, ETC. foated before my
eyes, making it impossible for me to work
while they lasted. They were usually
followed by dull. heavy headaches.
My physicians, two OF them. advised
me that my eyes had beome weakened
by overwork. ! consulted an oculist but he
could not discover the cause Of the trouble.
/ bought stronger glasses, but they did not
help me.
Last summer while living temporarily
in a boarAng house, found the very weak
coffee "a thing 70 complain Of. till suddenly
l discovered that my blind spells were
becoming less frequent ! then satisfied
myself by experiments that IL was coffee
that was deranging my optic nerves.
A friend advised me to try Postum
coffee. and although | had no faith in it.,
| began TO use it. In three days time the
blind spells completely ceased. Going
back TO the old coffee the blind spells re-
turned l am entirely satisfied that coffee
was the case of the ailment, and that Pos
tum WAS its cure" Name given by Postum
Co, Battle Greek, Mich.
There's a reason. Coffee il a narcotic

pairing the damage each day disease and
distress follows in some one or moro Organs
