sources.
The Charlotte, N. c., Observer has
long been recognized-as as q powerful
factor in helping to bring about the
development Of its State and section
industrially. And its labors along
this line have done much in bringing
capital to build up our manufactur-
ing interests and valuable citizens to
cast their lot among us. But the OBJ
server has not stopped there. Like
the great, broad-minded and useful
paper it is, it has widened out its
field of usefulness and has helped
materially in creating distinctively
local and Southern literature. Some
Of the brightest literary stars of the
present period have been discovered
and their talents brought out through
its columns. Much valuable histori-
cal matter, heretofore unknown, has
been given to the world through the
medium of its immense Sunday is
sues. For genuine literary merit 8
single Sunday issue Of the Observer
goes far and away beyond the current
magazines, carrying both quantity
| and qaulity to an extent impossible
with the best of them.
In fact, so great is the Observer in
its field Of family newspaper that
| it were difficult to determine whether
| it has accomplished the more in the
field Of industry or the field of litera-
ture. Anyway, it stands at the head
among Southern dailies in every par
ticular.

The origin Of the pearl In the shell
sof the oyster, or other biyalve ol
smonusK, has been the OBJECT Of a
considerable amount OF investigation
/ and: speculation. Among the more
recent; studies Of the subject may be
noted those of M Seurat recorded in
the Complies Rendus." This natural.
5st finds that in pearl oysters from
! the Gambia lagoons, in the South
Pacific, the pearls are due to a small
:tworn--a sort OF tapeworm. In cysts
ION the body and mantle of the oyster
.She has found true pearls surrounding
a nucleus which. he has shown to be
:one; of these worms. Like other tape
worms, this. one, concerned in the pro.
dlction Of pearls, requires a second
! host In which to complete its develop
ment. And NJ. Seurat considers that
Sthe ray is the second host in this
case, forshe has found in the spiral
Intestine Of this fish small tapeworms,
which he regards as the adult form
yof the larval worm of the pearl oys-
ter. The. author has named this new
species OF tapeworn Tylocephalum
margarftiferae. The view has been
held that the pearl is secretion
formed; as itwere, in self-defense for
the surrounding and isolation of az
injurious foreign body.

savage thing to beat q weary or starved
man because lie Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
q great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. Il torpid liver is but on
indication of an ill-nourishcd, enfeeblcd
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures Of oliver
trouble" by It's wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal nctivity of the stomach,
increases the secretions OF the blood-mak-

Inquiry Into Flowers Murder.

Georgetown, Special.-Some de-
velopments have taken place as re-
CARDS the murder Of Bell Flowers on
last Saturday night. 1t has been. an-
nounced by the physicians who view
ed the body that the mans neck was
broken. Blood stains have been found
in his house, and there were signs
that something had been dragged
through the back yard. A wagon was
heard going away from the back gate
at about 2 O'Clock that night. The
supposition is that the man was kill
ed in the house and taken away and
shot afterwards. The coroncr's jury
will convene again and some startling
disclosures are expected which will
throw some light OH the perpetrators
of the dastardly deed.

A HORRIBLE MURDER
.Grewsoms Murder Of Aged WidoW
by Villain in Search Of Gold.

Gaffney, Spscial.-Once more the
fair name of Cherokee is stained by
one of the blacklist crimes committed
in this section. Tuesday between u
and / O'Clock at her home, two and a
half miles from this city, Mzs. Hor-
tense Morgan, widow living in her
little house on the top Of hill over
looking Gafney, was murdered and
robbed of her savings Of a lifetime.
The murderer, with one slash with
a sharp knife, had cut her throat
from ear to ear and, after robblng
her person, had ransacked her house.
The dead body was discovered ly-
| ing on the bed between one and two
O'Clock by neighbor with whom the
old lady spent her nights, Mrs. Callle
Webb.
From neighbors it was learned that
Mrs. Morgan was seen in the yard
hanging out some clothing she had
washed, and about IL O'Clock she fed
the pigs. Just before 12so'clock MIR.
Cicero Price passed the house on his
way to Gafney, and saw her on the
porch seemingly sewing, and saw a
man going in at the gate. Soon after
this a Mr.. Whelchel saw man sitting
on the porch talking to her..
After the murder became known
these gentlemen told of seeing the
man at the house and pointed him out
to a policeman, Officer Coyle, who,
with Deputy Marshal Phillips, ar
rested him. He proved to be Tom
Harris.
Harris was taken to the city prison
and searched. On his person was
found two rolls of money, one wrap
ped in a long white rag. In this roll
was $466. A further search revealed
another roll,y which appeared to have
been wrapped as the other one.
Before the last roll was counted
Harris was asked how much money
he had. He said that he should have
about $500. A count revealed $726,
and on the outside bill on one of the
rolls there were blood stains.
Harris also had new and large
knife with very sharp blade. This
knife was stained with blood and had
clotted blood in the butts. On his
wrists aud hands were other blood
stains.
When asked where he got SO much
money he; said at first that he labored
for it, and afterward said that he
llabored and gambled for it. s
Harris. wife was arrested at
Blacksburg Tuesday night as an ac-
complice. it is said that she was
in that section recently and visited
Mrs. Morgan while there. She is
supposed to know something about
the case.

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
