ler said that 1t would be taken out OF
MI. Lyons five minutes If be did 30,
and it was agreed that Mr.. Lyon
should proceed with his speech.
Said he. just IS our fathers years
ago proclaimed and obtained for ua
the right OF local sslf.goveEnment, /
now come to lift my voice for that
dearest right. 7 do not think the dis
re0ssry has accorded you that right.
Il hes been forced on you improperly.
When the people see that 1T Is corrupt
and rotten TO the core, as I tell you it
Is, they will wipe 1t out.
1t is corrupt. However our commit
tee may be slurred, we have preached
the walls and given you 3 glimpse OF
the rottsnness within, and 1t Is up to
you to drive out the grafters. Our
committee cannot prosecute. We have
practically finished our work. I have
q formal report to present, but the
rest is very little.
My candidacy resolves itself into
one thing: Will you uphold the ban
ner that I have raised and assist me
in my fight against graft or will you
let them come out with their forces
and 6rample you in the dust?
The Walterboro meeting on Thurs
day was absolutely devoid Of any spec
ial features except continuance OF
the Lyon. Ragsdale dispute about get
ting out OF the race, but as yet moth
ing has come of it. In his speech Mr.
Lyon did not refer to the matter OF
withdrawing, but talking about the
corruption of the dispensary and said
he ought to be elected so as he could
prosecute tho rascals that had been
run down by the Investigation.
Mr., Ragsdale spoke next, says that
he did not put himself as the oily man
In South Carolina who could properly
fill the Ch6ce of attorney general. He
zas not the only man who could de
wise plans to bring about honesty In
administration Referring to the Office
he said II services entitled any man
to it Leroy f Youmans should have
1t, but . man. generally, ougnC noG 10
be given ffl ,e because OF what he
has done, huo because OF his character
and ability. He had not entered the
race to defeat Ytunans. He withheld
his pledge until he saw that Lyon
would run. AS to withdrawing he said
Lyon had entered the contest against
Mr.. Youmans because he believed him
physically incapable Of making the
canvass and thus expected to rur
without oppt sition. He had no desire
to oppose Col. Youmans and would
ne willing to withdraw without any
string to his withdrawa and allow
Colonel Yuumaps TO be elected with
nut opposition. Hs would do this If
Lyon will. This was received with
applause by the audience. Before Mr.,
Lyon could reply, time was called upon
Mr. Ragsdale and q recess was taken
for dinner.

Deadly ELECTRICITY.

Electric light wires are dangerous
and the greatest care should be exer-
cised In their erection to see that they
ara we'll put up. Over In Augusta,
Ga one night last week Mr.. j. E.
Carlton, a young man, stumbled into
two electric wires on the corner OF
Cherry alley and Gardner avenue. His
cries for assistance attracted the at.
iention OF those who lived near by,
but all efforts to resuscitateFhim when
srached were in vain. The wires were
finally cut and pushed out from under
the body and 1T was removed to Q near
by house where be died.

Den Of Murderers.

Near Ruutl, Switzerland village
in the Zuerich Ooerland, the police
nave made highly sensational dlscov
cry. FJr long time a remote farm
mousse was occupledby family named
Cberholzer, consisting Of two brothers
aud a sister. A few days ago, the
authorities found cause to search the
house. An immense quantity OF stolen
20 IDS was found, bud worse things
we're discovered later. A wall excited
suspision owing to 1t peculiar shape and
when an opening was made a roug b cof-
lin was found with a female skeleton,
clothes still a1hering to 1t. Its ideDt
ity has not yet been established, but
hat some awful crimes have bsen
cnmmit,ed in the house appears to be
now practically certain.

fortitude, hoping he might die undt
the thorps, but when be was dragged
toward the upright tomb he struggl
! ed with bis jailers and screamed fo1
mercy.
Screaming he was thrust into the
recess In the thick wall. and, scream
ing, be was chained up. There ir'
was left for a while, for there was
plenty of time. The nasops stood
aside and the crowd struggled and
fought to get In the front rank,
scoffIng in deriston at the screaming
old man and pelting him with the
frlghtiul filth and offal OF the market
place.
VERY DELIBERATE EXECUT1ONERs.
Then the masons came forward and
very deliberately laid on the hrst
courses Of the masonry. The stones
and mortar rose to Mesfewi's knees
and then the chief jailer came for
ward and gave him bread and water
The masons again stood aside and
again the crowds jeered and be.slao
bered the victim.
So it went on, course by course,
stone by stone, water and bread, until
only Mesiewi's screaming head was
seen. Tue last stones were thrust in
place and Mesfewi's living tomb was
completed.
But the crowd was not yet satisfied
Mesfewi was not dead, and the throng
pressed forward and kept quiet to
hear the mufd ID screams for mercy
that came out of the wall. Every
time Mestewi screamed the crowd
yelled
Night came, braziers were lit, coff fss
was made and still MesfsWi scream ID
and the crowds yelled. TUESDAY,
June IL came in, and the market
place was as crowded as ever, and
Mesfewis was still screaming for
mercy.
So it went 90 all day and all night.
Only Mesfewi's screams were growing
fainter. When Wednesday broke
those close up to the wal reported
that the dead alive was only moaning
Finally the moaning stopped and the
crowd cursed MesfeWi for dying 30
soon, and the delayed business OF the
market was resumed.
So Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi ex.
plated his crime.
The first 5ws of the terrible off ,n
ces of the cobbler OF Msrakesch Came
In a special cable to the New York
American April 20 1t was reported
that Hadj Mohanned MssfeWi was to
be crucifisd Oh Thursday, May 8, for
an extraordinary series Of murders
Twenty. six corpses OF women had
been found under the cobbler's shop,
and ten In his garden.
All OF Mesfewi's victims were mu.
tilated with dagger cuts in order t.
stimulate fanaticism, and 1t was prov
ei they had bsen murdered for money
most Of it in trit1ing sums.
The Koran provides cruclfxion as
the punishment for terrible crimes
and though chat form of executl' q
has not been used in Morocco for a
generation, it way decided taat the
cobbler's crimes deserved that classi
Cal punishment.
The next news came in a cable OF
May 2, saying the execution by cruel
ixion would. not take place. The
rest Of the story and it's tragic de-
nouement is told In the present dis
patch.

mo CURE, NO PAY"
How Fred d. Pierce sells Hvom,

How Fred d. Pierce sells HyOmei.
the guaranteed cure for Ca
tarrh.
Fred D. Pierce has an unusual offer
to make to our readers, one that will
De OF the greatest value to many.
For some years Fred D. Pierce has
been watching the results from the
use of Byomei, a treatment for ca
tarrh that cures by breathing medi-
Gated air, absolutely without any
stomach dosing. The results have
been so universally successful that he
feels justified in making public offer
to treat the worst case of catarrh in
Barton with the understanding that if
Hyomei does not cure, the treatment
will cost absolutely nothing.
People who have spent large sums
with catarrh specialists, deriving but
little benefit, or the many wno have
swallowed stomach remedies in the
vain hope of curing catarrh, have ex-
perienced almost immediate relief
from the use of Hyomei, while the
continued treatment for short time,
has resulted in complete and LASTING
cure.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs only
le dollar, ard consists of neat
pocket inhaler that can be carried in
the purse or vest pocket, medicine
dropper, and for cure, extra, bottles
of Hyomei can be obtained for 81
cents.
Fred D. Pierce positively guaran-
tees cure, if Hyomei is used ia ac-
cordance with directions, or he vii
refund the money.
