For many years girls have been try

phllanthroplsts took pity ON poor, for-

Now young men by the hundred are

teachers come from this same class and
actually themselves need ethical and

acquiring the reputation Of being the
rudest, most unpleasant hammered men

the old American stock, but those who
have no training in morality or polite

A curious thing happened the other
evening in New York A well bred
person could scarcely believe It, but /
assure you it is fact A young lady-at
least she is supposed 10 be a lady-had
dinner with some friends. After din
ner a man told an amusing story. The
climax to the story took the girl un-
awares and she laughed suddenly and
immoderately and swallowed a big
steel pin. She-she-one hates to write
it, but that girl was picking her teeth
with this pin. Troubles followed.
There came an ambulance and took the
girl to the hospital. Next came sur
geons, knives, rays, magnets and eager
doctors trying projects on her. At
last reports the young woman was in a
sad condition from fright, suffering and
the doctors continued projects" 4"

DEATH Turks IN SICK KIDNEYS

The kidneys are the weak link in the
chain Of life, and are daily carrying thou
sands of victims to untimely graves. Ninety
men and women in every hundred have kid
ney trouble and don't know il, because it's
only when the trouble reaches an advanced
stage that it's recognized as kidney disease.
Weimagine we have dyspepsia, heart dis
ease, nervous prostration and hundred
and one ills, but nine times out of ten the
real trouble is that the kidneys are so weak
and diseased that they are utterly unable to
carry the waste matters out of the body,
and the uric acid accumulates in the system,'

Slayers of Allen PendIeton Get Bail,

Abbeville. Sept. 30-A preliminary
examination was held here TODAY in
the cases of the State against John
Marion Ashley, Robert Moore, John
Moore, Joe Fus Moore, William Moore,
Hugh Bowen and Sam Bigby, charged
with lynching Allen Pendleton, color
ca, near Honea Path on the night of
September 18th. Magistrate j. G.
Martin had charge Of the preliminary
and the State was represented by Solici-
tor X. A. Cooper. The defendants
were represented by their ATTORNEYS.
W-n. n Graydon, Frank b. Gary and
VIM. =. Greene.
The testimony for the State consist
ed OF evidence of threats against the
ne or Iendieton on the night of his
death and the testimony OF certain
witnesses, that the defendants were
seen in the crowd going toward tho
place Of lynching, carrying the negro.
On this testimony this afternoon, with
af1idavits submitted on the part of the
defendants, motion was made before
Justice F.. b. Gary for bail. The testi-
mony OF tha defendants: while not dis
putting outright the testimony of the
State, sought to show that the defen-
dants had no part in the lynchine.
Several witnesses not related to any
OF the parties, equally respected with
the witnesses for the State, swore that
some Of the defendants were at the
house of j. r. Moore ut the time the
negro was sho,. The testimony pre-
sentei showed that none Of tbs de-
PENDANTS was present when Pendle-
ton was killed. At least three of the
witnesses for the State swore to facts
strongly showing that it was impos-
sible for certain of the defendants to
have taken part in the lynching. JUS
tice Gary. after hearing arguments
from Solicitor Cooper and Messrs.
Graydon and Greene, for the defense,
admitted the defendants to bail, each
in the sum of $1,000. Bond was imme-
diately given by all of the defendants
and they, departed for their homes
about dark.
The court house was crowded dur
ing the whole day by eager spectators.
Men were here for miles around. Great
interest was manifested, but every
thing was quiet. The impartial spec
tators present with whom this cores
pondent talked, seemed to think Jus.
tice Gary was right in granting bail, as
the proof of guilt of the defendants
was in serious doubt. .-.'psoiai TO TIE
