a large circle 70 relatives and friends
to mourn his departure Mr.. Ander-

did his full part in making the city
of Greenville an ideal town. Upright,
honest, sincere and God-fearing, his

citizens are always mourned when
death calls them away, and in the
death of Mr.. Anderson, this city lost
a generous and liberal-hcarted, hon.
ored and respected citizen. The

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
Now Going On In Greenville-Many
Hundreds of Dollars Being Spent

The residence of Hon. b. G.. Hum
phreys at No. 5o7 Central avenue has
been raised several feet and other iril.
provements made. This is one of tnc
most comfortable homes in the city,
and with the added improvements,
will make very attractive home.
The residence Of Mr. A. B. Nance,
which was partly destroyed by FIRE
early in the year, is now nearly re-
built on new lines, and will be read,
for occupancy in a short while. This
home on Valiant street will be yer,
attractive in its new style of arch;-
lecture.
Mrs. Nadel has added an addition
to her residence on the corner Of
Theobold and Percy streets winch
makes it more commodious and con-
venient.
Mr.. R. B. Hallette has given his
home on Poplar street new coat OF
paint and has made other repairs and
on the structure.
Many improvements are conte mp
lated by other property holders, and
by next fall Greenville will have the
of newly built town.
While this good work is going en-,
holders should clean up
their front and back yards, clean ort
stables, chicken coops, etc, and give
everything a sanitary securing. This
will add greatly to the city's appear
ance.
Among the mill improvements go
ing on, is the work being done at the
Cotton Oil Mill. A gen
eral overhauling is being done. The
boiler in the in the engine room is
being rebricked and new seed tres
tie is being erected across the street
from the gin to the seed house.

HOO-DOO AND
FAITH DOCTOR
GIVEN HEAVY FINE BY HIS
HONOR. THE MAYOR
For Attempting His Evil Practices
Upon White Woman-Doctor Is
a Dope Fiend But Is Placed Where
He Can Do No More Harm

VIII Jones, a levee camp negro,

doctor, was brought up before Mayor
Yerger Friday morning and examined

day. was assessed the sum of $Ioo

Jones claimed before the court that
he was called to see a Mr.. Smith i'm

he had neither automobile or buggy,
he hailed carriage and directed the
driver as to where to go. But instead
of going to where he was called, he

and boldness, he frightens Mr.. Camp

alone i'll the house with her little a
year old child. From there he goes
TO the Smith store, where he was told
by Mr.. Smith if he did not leave he
would hang an AK handle over his
head. From there he returned to the
city in the carriage and the officers
were notified of his crazy actions.
Attorney Van B. Boddie was en-
ployed to defend him, but when Mr..
Boddie heard the statement of Mrs.
Campbell, he returned the negro his
money and told him to employ other
counsel, as he would have nothing to-
do with the case.
The negro, large man, whose eyes
showed the effects of dope, appeared
badly excited when arraigned and de-
MED ever seeing Mrs. Campbell, but
when confronted with other testi-
mony, acknowledged the truth and
said he had been sent for by Mr..
Smith and stopped at the wrong
house but did not go in

what he did with all the drugs
and herbs found in his grip when ar

say that the driver, though, has all

Of him when asked.
That Jones was a big society negro
was shown by the pin he wore on the
'front.' of his overall, and some thought
t was for this reason the hackman
was trying to shield him, as he, no
ioubt, was a member of the same
order.
But Mayor Yerger, after hearing
both sides of the case and thoroughly
that the charge of trespass
against him was sustained, placed his
inc at $Ioo and gave him 90 days on
he farm to recuperate from his hard
evee work.

The Commercial, a live week.,

Hon. E. N. Thomas, of Washing
ton county, speaker of the house OF

resentative audience.
Mr.. Thomas stressed his earnest
purpose to fight graft in every form
If elected Governor. The judiciary

He would appoint men to judiciary
positions who were capable, honess
and fearless, and the question of
whether they had supported him
would have no influence.
Furthermore, Mr.. Thomas said. he
would appoint no man a member of
the boards of trustees of any state
institutions who would not pledge
himself to give the necessary time
thought and attention to the proper
transaction of the business of these in
stitutions.
Mr.. Thomas dwelt at some length
on the question of limiting corporate

Taking up the question of land as
