Catarrh Of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fectual Cure for 1t.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, a formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
4 general played cut, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DIR. Harlanson, the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Diastase. Aseptic Pepsin. a little Nux
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy APP
petite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals
Mr.. r. S. Workman, Chicago. Ills,
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from neglected cold in the
head whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes infiamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat reaches
the stomach, thus producing catarrh
of the stomach Medical authorities
prescribed for me for three years for
catarrh of stomach without cure, but
today am the happiest of men after
using only one box of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets. l cannot find appropriate
words to express my good feeling. I
have found flesh. appetite and sound
rest from their use"

Railroad Assessment Raised.

The figures on the assessments for
the railroads doing business in South
Carolina will be made public in afew
days.. The assessments were practi-
cally decided upon by the State board
of railroad assessors some time ago,
but there has been much discussion as
to the basis for taxation.
It is understood that the Southern
railway has been assessed on a basis
of $40, 100000, which is a raise of
about S6,OO0,OO0, and the Atlantic
Coast Line on a basis of $4,000, 900,
a raise of about S3,000,00. There has
been no material change in the assess
ments of the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way.
On the increased assessmentsthetwo
roads would pay S45, 900 additional to
the State on the 5-mill levy for gen.
eral purposes and $4,000 on the con-
stitutional 3-mill tax for schools, not
to speak of an average of 4 mills for
general purposes in each county
through which the roads pass.-Co-

NEW SOLICITOR APPOINTED.

COLUMBIA, August Ex-senator
Walter H. Wells, of Florence, has
been appointed by Governor Ansel
solicitor of the 3rd circuit to succeed
the Hon. John S. Wilson, who re-
signed to accept the position of judge
of the same circuit, an office also
made vacant by the resignation
of Judge R. O. Purdy, of Sumter.
The resignation of Solicitor Wilson
became effective on August 20, and
the appointment of Mr.. Wells be-
comes effective at once. He will en-

The term for which Mr.. Wells is ap-
pointed solicitor expires January l.,

next summer for the four year term.
It is presumed that Mr.. Wells will at
once resign from the Senate, and
this will necessitate the calling of a
special election to select his successor.

Razor to Bring Fortune.

derson, who arrived here on the roy
al packet Tagus from the Panama
canal zone on the way to his home In
Columbus, Ohio, has razor that may
identify him as the heir to an estate
in Ireland worth millions. Just where
the vast property is is not known,
but family history has passed the I'M

Youngest son for many generations,
with the expectation of the ultimate
great reward. The family is Of,
Scotch-Irish descent. The razor is
over 200 years old.
Several months ago Mr.. and Mrs.

his time for while toward a solution
of the matter.

OIL COMPANY WILL CONTINUE.
Anderson Concern will not Go into
Liquidation.

ANDERSON, August 24.-At a
meeting of the stockholders of the
Anderson Phosphate and Oil Com
pany held here to-day it was decided
to continue the business and not 60
into liquidation. Capt. E. A. Smyth
was elected president. The affairs of
the company were found in better
shape than was generally thought
and it.has been the money stringency
that has caused the trouble. The
stockholders were in session three
hours and most of the stock was rep
resented in person or by proxy. 1t is
probable that several of the out of
town oil mills will be sold and the
directors will begin at once straight
ening up the affairs of the company
and to relieve the financial situation.

newed confidence in the company, and
it is matter of congratulation that
it will not have to 60 into bankrupt

amounting to about $500.
1t was bought by J. S. Brice, Esq,

the services of a competent newspa-

Mitchell Taken to Columbia.

SALUDA, August 26.- Acting upon
information impaired to him late
this evening, Sheriff Sample is now
leaving Saluda for Columbia with
Mike H. Mitchell, the young white
man lodged in Jail here Saturday
night charged with attempting to
commit a criminal assault upon a
young lady in his home. The infor-
nation coming to the sheriff was
brought by good men, and acting
upon it to avert trouble, he is carry
ing Mitchell to a place of safe-keep
ing, there, being danger from all re-
ports of raid being made upon the
Jail at this place at any moment.
Feeling is running high in the sec
ton where the outrage occurred. 1t
is stated that a number of men went
to Chappell's Saturday night, where
they thought the sheriff had gone
with Mitchell to board the train for
Columbia. They have now learned
that Mitchell is in Jail at Saluda.

WHITE TAN HELD.
Charged With Attempted Criminal
Assault in Saluda.

SALUDA, Aug. 25.-Mike H. Mitch
ell, a white man about IS years old,
was lodged in Jail here last night,
charged with attempting to commit
criminal assault upon his wife's
younger sister at his home yesterday
afternoon. In the evening an urgent
phone message was sent to the sher-
iff asking him to come to the home
of Mrs. Mary Witt, the mother Of
the young lady as soon as possible.
All efforts to ascertain the nature of
the trouble were uflavailing until
Sheriff Sample returned last night
with Mitchell and placed him in jail.
The story of the affair as related
to the sheriff is as follows:
Mitchell went to the home of his
mother-in-law and stated that his
wife was preparing to go out for the
afternoon and wanted to see her sis
ter before going. On reaching her
sisters home the young lady went in
and as soon as she entered Mitchell
followed, closing the door behind
him and locking it. Mitchelps wife
and children had already gone away
and this was the method employed
by him to get the young lady to his
home. Failing in his foul purpose he
unlocked the door and the young
lady went home and reported the aft
fair. It is stated that Mitchell fol-
lowed her part of the way, begging
her not to tell it and threatening to
kill her if she did.
AS soon as the affair became known
armed men appeared and trouble OF
d serious nature was feared and it is
probable that they would have taken
the law in their own hands if Mitch
ell had been found. The sheriff
found him near his fathers home
and took him into custody. Mitchell
denies the whole affair.
The young lady is held in the high
est esteem by the people in that COM
munity. Mitchell is a son 'of Mr..
John P. Mitchell, one Of the most
substantial as we'll as one of the most
highly esteemed men of this county.
The sheriff was undetermined last
night whether to place Mitchell in
jail here or to carry him to Columbia.
It is now thought that no effort will
be made to harm Mitchell since it
has been known that he has been ar
rested and is now in the sheriff s Gus
tody.
The social standing of the two fam
lilies involved makes the whole affair
a most deplorable one.

wife's things -
Henley fired upon Wilson with a
shotgun and wounded him in the leg.
There being no one present, Wilson
