LIFE AND DEATH SENTENCES.
After the Murderers and Other Grim
inals at Newberry.

Newberry, Nov. 14.-One of the
most important cases - come up for
trial was that Of Lewis Burton, Ell
more Mayes, and Lawson Johnson,
three negroes, charged with arson.
On the 8th of December last, the
barn and stables of p. N. Boozer, in
No. z township, were destroyed by
fire. Twelve mules, two horses, FIVE
colts, two cows, and large quantity
OF feed were burned. These three
negroes were suspected, and Burton,
the first one arrested, confessed to
the burning and implicated Mayes
and johnson. The jury In the case,
after being out only short while,
returned verdict Of guilty as to
Burton, and guilty with recommen-
dation to mercy as to Mayes and
Johnson. Arson being a capital Of
fense, Burton was sentenced to hang
on Friday, December 13. The two
other negroes were sentenced to
terms of ten years each in the State
penitentiary.
VIII Sanders, who brutally mur-
dered Aurelia Matthews and her
daughter, Carrie Matthews, and af-
terwards escaped, but was captured
by Sheriff M. M. Buford in Asheville,
N. c., was found guilty of murder
with recommendation to the mercy
Of the court. Under this verdict,
the sentence is life Imprisonment in
the penitentiary. The crime with
which Sanders was convicted was,
according to his own confession, one
Of the most brutal In the history Of
Newberry county, the killing being
without the slightest provocation.
There has been considerable criti-
cism Of this jury for not making the
verdict guilty, which would have
meant death for the negro.
George Walker, colored, was tried
for murder and carrying concealed
weapons. He was found guilty Of
manslaughter and was sentenced to
serve five years in the State peni-
tentiary.

$4,000 Killed by Earthquake.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 15.-The first
direct reports from the scene of the
great earthquake at Karnta yh, Rus
sian Turkestan, about tlrce weeks
ago, reached this city last Sunday
from a correspondent who accompa-
MED the relief expedition sent in
from Jamarkan. Telegraphing un-
der date of November 9, this cores
pondent says:
"The town of Karatagh was COM
pletely destroyed. The fatalities
number about 1000 in Karatagah
and about 10000 in the adjoining
district of Denausk. All the villages
in the vicinity were wrecked. 1t is
probable that there are hundreds
more dead in these villages, but in
vestigation is only now determining
the approximate number"

BuACkaGm'9 ArmiCa SalV0
The Best Salve In The World.
a Foolish Little Woman.

Richmond, Va, November H.
Learning that her intention to en-
ter suit for divorce from her present
husband, in order to marry her first
husband, from whom she was divorc-
cd, had become public, Mrs. Nellie
Achison, who has already figured in
two romances, was SO mortified that
she attempted to commit suicide by
jumping from the window Of her
room in the third story Of the house
where she resided with her grand
mother Only the violence Of re-
straining hands prevented her from
her purpose.
Achison married his wife after her
first husband, Miller, quarreled with
her and secured a divorce because
she went to Norfolk on the steamer
Pocahontas with another man. A
bright-eyed baby girl of IL rec sum-
mers has played no little part in re-
uniting her estranged parents, and q
second marriage for her sake will
probably be the happy climax of this
much-tangled love affair.

UNDER SERIOUS CHARGE.

ASKS us TO PRINT 1T.
Tells How to Prepare Simple Mix
ture to Overcome Dread Disease.

TO relieve the worst forms Of rheu-
matism, take teaspoonful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and
at bed-time: -
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla
three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists.
and are easily mixed by shaking them
well In bottle. Relief Is generally
felt from the first few doses.
This prescription, states a we'll
known authority in a Cleveland (O.)
morning paper, forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poisonous
waste matter and uric acid, which
causes rheumatism. l7 ~
AS rheumatism Is not only the
most painful and torturous disease,
but dangerous to life, this simple
recipe will no doubt be greatly val
ued by many sufferers here at home,
who should at once prepare the mix
ture to get this relief.
1t Is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, a
dose or two daily, or even q few
times week, would never have seri-
GUS kidney or urinary disorders Of
rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve It. Good
rheumatism prescriptions which real
ly r,lieve are scarce, indeed, and
when you need 1t, you want it badly.
Our druggists here say they will
either supply these ingredients or
make the mixture ready to take, If
any OF our readers so prefer.

ROOSEVELT DEFENDS NEW COIN

Washington. November 13.-"n
God We Trust" will not be upon
any OF the tnited States coins de-
signed in the future If President
Roosevelt can prevent 1T. He has
written vigorous letter on the sub
ject, copies Of which have been mail
ed to all correspondents who sent
MIN protests against the absence of
the words on the new gold pieces.
In the letter he says he does not ap-
prove of the motto on the coins. It's
use, he says, is irrevercnce danger
ously close to sacriligious. at Is
eminently nnwiSc to cheaper such a
motto by its use on COIN" he SAYS.
"All my life | lave never heard any
human beinS speak rcverently Of the
motto on the coins. Throughout the
long contest over the free coinage
question the existence of this motto
