Natures WaY Is Best.

The function strengthening and tissue
building plan OF treating chronic, linger-
ing and obstinate cases of disease as pur-
sued by DIR. Pierce, is following after
Natures plan OF restoring health.
He uses natural remedies, that is
extracts from native medicinal roots.
prepared by processes wrought out by
the expenditure of much time and
money, without the use of alcohol, and
by skillful combination in just the riRht
proportions.
Used as ingredients Of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry
bark, Queens root, Golden Seal root,
BloodroOt and Stone root, specially exert
their influence in cases Of lung, bronchial
and throat troubles, and this "DIsCov-
cry" is, therefore, a sovereign remedy
for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs,
catarrh and kindred ailments.
The above native roots also have the
strongest possible endorsement from the
leading medical writer's, OF all the several
schools OF practice, for the cure not only
Of the diseases named above but also for
Indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious
ness, obstinate constipation, kidney and
bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter
where located.
You don't have to take DR.. Pierce's
say-so alone as to this; what he claims
for his discovery" is backed up by the
medical profession. A request by postal
card or letter, addressed to DR.. r. v.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for a little book
of extracts from eminent medical au-
thorities endorsing the ingredients of his
medicines, will bring little book free

Death of Two Children.

In our unsettled state last
week, owing to the fact that we
were moving into new quarters,
we had, at the last moment, to
leave out a number of news items
that should have gone in.
Among these items was the not
ice Of the death of the three
weeks old infant son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Berry Richards. The little
child was buried Tuesday, June
9Th, at the Methodist church
cemetery, Rev. D. M. Mcleod
conducting the funeral exercise.
We also failed to make a note
of the death of Robert Franklin,
the two year old child of Mrs.
j. T. Rose. The child was bur-
led in the old Presbyterian ceme-
terry June 6, Rev. A. G. Ward
law, D. D.. conducting the
funeral exercises.

requirements of the day he said:
Before leaving home | tried
20 distinguish betweenDemocracy

lizes competition as legitimate

competition as an evil to be elimi-
lated by public ownership and
operation of all means of produc-
lion and distribution. While this
distinction between Democracy
md Socialism should not be over
ooked the Democratic platform
must be one of progress and re-
form and not merely of opposi-
ion to Republican policies or
soclalistic ideas. In our fight for

Death of Mr.. Andy MCNeaCe.

Mr.. Andy McNeace, an aged
citizen of Union, died Wednes-
day afternoon at 5 O'Clock at the
home of his grandson, Mr.. Milton
McNeace, on Church street.
Although his exact age is not
known, it is positive that Mr..
McNeace was between ninety-five
and one hundred years old. He
could recall the time when he
played around with the Indians,
and he was too old to enlist in
the Confederate service. He was
born in Union County and has
lived here all his life.
Mr.. McNeace was the father
of three sons, none of whom sur
wives him. There are four liv-
ing grandchildren, Messrs. Mar
vim. Milton and Wallace McNeace
of this city, and a grand-daugh-
ter in Virginia.
The remains were inferred

ing held at $50 o'clock by Rev.

June 9Th, the last day on
which applications for the farm
ers' institute might be sent in,
has passed, and no action taken
by the farmers of Union County.
This means the loss of a fine op-
portunity. The projectors of
this institute have labored faith
fully to bring together in one a
all those things that would in
terest a farmer; furthermore,
they have provided lectures on
all subjects pertaining to farm
ing. These should be induce
ments for one to seize the oppor-
tunity for their betterment. 1t
is hoped that next year the farm
ers will get together and take
advantage of this good thing.

It is remembered that DR..

had his arm broken.
Monday afternoon Mr.. j. Frost
Walker had a terrible fall. In
jumping off the swiftly moving
wagon, he was thrown violently
to the ground, inflicting severe
cuts on hands and arms; nc
bones were broken, however.
But these firemen are game; they
won't be stopped by a few
scratches. and Union is proud of
men who make sacrifices for
public service. It is believed
and hoped that before many
weeks Of practice, these firemen
can do their work without these
injuries to themselves.

NOSE HUGHES MURDERED
AN OLD NEGRO KILLED, BOUND AND
THROWN IN Tiger RIVER.
W. R. Gillian and Douglass English
Suspected of the Crime...Gil
81 liam is in Jail

The to,1y of an old negro nan
was f lin Tiger river June
'7th at abou-, 90 o'clock. The
body was badly decpmposed; but
was not so much so as to prevent
Identification. Magistrate Hughey
at once held an inquest and Hen
.ry Henderson swore that the
body was that of old Nose
Hughes. The testimony of the
several negroes at the inquest
was somewhat restrained; it
seemed that they dared not tell
all they knew.
The verdict Of the jury did not
incrjminate ANY one directly,
but tthe inquest repeated hints
were made in ne diresticn o. w.
r., Gillian and Douglass Eng yks6.
Clarence letter claims that he saw
Gillian and English with Nose
Hughes on Sunday and that he
heard Gillian and English pass
his house late Sunday night.
The verdict Of the jury was
that Nose Hughes came to his
death by party or parties un-
known to the jury. This was in
accordance with all the facts in
possession of the jury, though
Magistrate Hughes seemed to re-
yret they could do no more.
The body of old Nose was
found by some other negroes in
the bottom land of Mr.. w. R.
Gillian, after search of some
days. They had heard that
Hughes had been killed by Gil
liam and were searching for the
body. It was found near the
river banks, badly decomposed.
hands tied with a rope behind
the back, and rocks stuffed in the
pockets and pants legs. The con-
dition of the body was such that
no one would touch it, so after
the inquest on the day after the
finding, it was buried on the
banks without being moved.
There is much speculation and
guessing as to who killed Nose
Hughes, and it is almost a cer-
tain fact that he was killed, and
the finger of suspicion has been
pointed toward w. R. Gillian
and Douglass English, two white
men Of the Goshen Hill township.
Hughes has a son. on trial now,
charged with burning Mr.. Gil
liam's barn, and he had just re-
turned Saturday from Union
where he had visited this son.
It's fact connected with the tes-
tifhony of those who saw Gillian,
English and Nose together on
Sunday is the basis for suspicion.
On Wednesday afternoon Clar-
ence Hughes swore out e war
rant for the arrest of w. R. Gil
liam and Douglass English.
Clarence is tn, son of old man
Nose, and is here in jail. Mr..
Gillian was in town and was at
once arrested and placed in Jail.
The officers went for Mr.. Eng
lish Thursday.
