DOORS IN THERAPEUTICS.
Perfumes and Their Use In the Prac
ticc of Medicine,

PERU mes and The1r use In the FrAG@
tice of Medicine.
Odors, whether agreeable or dis
agreeable, are not causes of disease in
the sense generally taken. They may
disorder certain healthy functions by
impairing nervous energy, by diminish
ing wholesome respiration and thus
creating a predisposition to attack by
disease.
Severe faintness is sometimes observ-
ed to overcome persons upon their en-
trance into a room in which tuberOseS
are kept. Headache is often produced
by the odors emanating from the hon,
eysuckle, lily, rose of Sharon or carna-
ton The odor of betony in flower is
said to have caused intoxication in
those who gather it. The making Of
linseed decoctions and the triturating OF
roses, pinks, walnuts or colocynth are
often accompanied by attacks of syn
cope.
Attempts have been made to utilize
odors in therapeutics. The odOrs OF
vanilla and heliotrope are credited with
possessing a soothing influence over
persons subjected to attacks of nerv
BUSINESS. The use of toilet water in
the form of spray will often restore
those exhausted with the cares of bu.;i-
ness, social or domestic duties. In the
east the use Of perfume is considered
a purifier, though we look upon it mere
ly as q luxury. 1t is asserted that those
who are employed in laboratories
where perfumes are made or among
growing flowers are healthy to an eN-
tent exceeding those not so employed

DAVIS IS FIRED ON
BY HICKS IN FIELD.
Farmer Near Americas Shot
Down.
THE SHOOTING IS uNPRovokEo
In Effort to Make Negro Give Up Pis-
toll Well Known Farmer 10 Shot
Wound Serious one-rllcks Sur
renders and is in Jail.

Mr.. Jared Davis, we'll known far
mer residing in the Fifteenth district,
was shot down in his field yesterday
morning by Jonas Hicks, negro en-
pIoye. The bullet from a 44-calibre
pistol penetrated the abdomen any may
yet result in death.
--latest reports from Mr. Davis were
to the effect that physicians expressed
the belief that none of the intestines
had been punctured which, if true, rem
ders prospect of recovery favorable.
Jonas Hicks is now in Jail here, hav-
ing surrendered himself few hours
after the shooting.
Statements regarding the shooting
indicate that it was the act of an in.
furiated negro and without provoca-
ton. Hicks at once fed the scene,
riding Mr.. Davis mule from the field,
but after going thus two miles he tied
the animal and walked to town
And in thus seeking protection the
negro perhaps saved himeelf from a
worse fate, as feeling against him wss
wrought to high pitch.
Il is said that Hicks had fight with
another negro early yesterday morning
and, going to his house secured a pis-
tol, returning with it to the field. Mr..
Davis was informed of this and went
towards Hicks for the purpose of tax
ing the gun from him.
Mr.. Davis told Hicks that il was
contrary to his rule for a negro to carry
a pistol in the field, and be must give
it up. With the passage of few
words the negro pulled the pistol and
fred.
Mr.. Davis was not even armed and,
it is said, had made no eff1rt to strike
the negro.
After being shot down he called q
negro hand to go for a physician. He
was unable to rise, and ley for some
time in the field. A brother of Mr..
Davis, together with three or four ne.
groee, saw the shooting. Hicks jumped
on mule and made his escape.
Sheriff Bell was wired of the affair
and with Deputy A. D. Gatewood star
ted hurriedly to the scene.
Near DeSoto they met negro armed
with rIfe and, covering him with
their pistolP, made HIM surrender
However, he proved to them that he
was not Hicks, but on the contrar was
hunting him and gave the off GERS SOM
valuable information.
They trailed Hicks to point near
the ely where he quit the woods and
took the railroad into town. Soon
thereafter they were informed that
Hicks had already surrendered. Hicks
is now safely behind steel door in
Sumter's strong castle
The shooting of Mr.. Davis, unwar-
ranted as it seems, aroused much ex-
citement in that vicinity and here as
well. Mr.. Davis is we'll known and
has wife and three young children.
