Harley's Slayer Acquitted,

St. Georges April 4.-Carlos G.
Parler, who was charged with the
killing OF William j. Harley, which
occurred at Harleyville, this county,
some months ago, vas acquitted in
the Court of General Sessions to. day.
The case has created considerable
interest on account of the ciroum.
stances surrounding the killing, and
during the progress of the trial the
court room vas filed to OVERLOOKING.
The verdict of the jury is univer-
sally approved throughout the
county, as Harley was shot while he
was attempting to forcioly enter the
residence of 8 peaceable, law-abiding
citizen, after he had been repeatedly
warned not to come in, and the plea
of ~self-defence interposed by the
defendants attorneys was established
beyond question.
The defence did not examine any
witness, but proved their case by the
testimony offered by the State.
Harley was generally regarded as
a desperate character. He was con.
victed several months prior to his
death for assaulting a young man
named Weeks on the Court House
square here, during the session of the
Court Of General Sessions. He was
arrested by the 8, tiff for this
offence, but subsee ".ly escaped,
and was tried and convicted during
his absence. A sealed sentence was
brought out against him, which
awaited him at the time of his death.
He was guilty of a number of other
serious crimes, and at the time of his
death was a fugitive from justice.

"The Blood Is The Life"

Science has never gone beyond the
above simple statement Of scripture. But
it has Illuminated that statement and
given 1t a meaning ever broadening with
the increasing breadth of knowledge.
When the blood is vbadn or impure it
is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also
clouded, the mind and judgement are
effected, and many an evil deed or impure
thought may be directly traced to the
impurity Of the blood. Foul, impure blood
can be made pure by the use of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
enriches and purlhes the blood thereby
curing, pimples, blotches, eruptions and
other cutaneous affections, as eczema,

manifestations of impure blood.

Dear Sir: Our agent ought to sell nine
tenths of the paint Of his town and re-
gion; no use to try for the other tenth.
The proportion of men, who won't take
good advice, and use the least-gallons
paint, Is about one in ten among even
owners of houses and stores and shops
and barns and fences.
One man in ten viii buy q gold brick
or green goods, IL he has the money and
gets a good chance.
Devoe at s1.T5 q gallon is better than
gold; adulterated aud short-measure
paints are green goods and gold bricks.
Devoe saves half, more or less, Of the
labor and wages Of painting ; it is all
paint; full strength and full measure.
There is no other such paint within ten
per cent. Ten per cent of labor and
paint is worth saving; and ten is the
least. There are scores of paints that
throw-away half of both gallons and
labor on whiting, ohina-olay, ground
stone, barytes, benzlne, waterfall they
are good for is to make gallons Of moth
ing and look like paint in the can; more
gallons to buy and moro gallons to pay
for putting-on-gold bricks and green
goods. Here's how they work:
Judge I. d. Fairchild owns two houses
exactly alike in Lufkin, Texas. j. H.
Terrence painted both houses; one De-
voe, 15i gallons; the other with another
