LIGHTNING's QUEER FREAKS.
Seems to Make a Specially of Tattoo
ing Images on Victims.

A curious freak of the tornado took
place on the Tucker farm. Mr.. Tuck
er, who was lying in bed with bro
ken leg, could not run to a place OF
safety when the storm was seen COM
ing. His wife gathered the three lit
tie children and they all piled on the
bed with Mr.. Tucker, the wife saying
that if all were killed they would all
die together.
After the storm Mrs. Tucker found
herself about so yards away, two lit
tie girls down in the bed of the creek,
the little boy sitting on a pile OF
straw, all unhurt Looking towards
the house Mrs. Tucker saw all Of it
away except the floor. But the bed
still stood where it did before the
storm and her husband was still ly-
ing upon it without a scratch

Mill Situation Blue.

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 2.-The tex
tile manufacturing situation in this
section is decidedly blue, nor do mill
men know where and when it will
end. The big Smith-Draper mills,
it is learned to-day will shut down
Tomorrow. While it is given out
that the shutdown will be only for
one week, well informed mill men
understand that it will be for much
greater period. 1t is believed that
the cessation of operations by this
company will mark the real com
mencement of a general closing down
of mills in Piedmont Carolina. -Four
big Spartanburg mills closed down
last week and only one Of the dozen
mills in Charlotte is operating full
time, the others being shut down
completely or running part time.
The Smith Draper mills are five In
number, having capital Of nearly
$2,000,O00 and employing several
thousand operatives. They manufac'
ture white sheeting principally. Fol-
months the situation in the cotton
goods market has been serious and
grows no better. Prices are low and
there is little or no demand even al
the bottom figures and for months
the mills which have been running
have simply piled up manufactured
goods in their warehouses. With the
mills which have been on part time
it has been merely matter of keep
ing their otherwise idle operatives
together and the operations have
been conducted at loss.

NEW JERSEY GIRL OUTRAGED.
Armed and Angry Crowds Looking
for a Strange Negro.

Salem, N. j., August 8.-Armed
posses under the direction of Sheriff
Collins B. Allen are searching Salem
and adjoining counties tonight for
a negro who to-day committed bru-
tai assault upon Stella Lawrence, the
twelye-year-old daughter of Oscar
Lawrence, a farmer of Warrington
Township. The police of every city
and town in South New Jersey have
been furnished with description OF
the negro, who was stranger in the
neighborhood, and are making a de-
termined effort to apprehend him.
Farmers and their sons are scour-
ing the woods and roads between
here and Woodstown, and if they
capture the negro he is in danger OF
violent treatment.
Stella Lawrence left her home to
place letter in rural delivery mail
box at the end of lane on her faith
er's farm, probably a quarter OF a
mile from the house. She was about
to return when a negro whose ap-
proach she had not noticed seized
her and dragged her into an adjoin-
ing corn field.
When the girl did not return mem
bers of her fathers family started
in search of her, and as they ap-
preached the corn field were attract
ed by her means. She was carried to
the house, but an hour elapsed be-
fore she recovered sufficiently to tell
her story. The girl was able to give
but very meagre description of the
negro, whom she had never seen
before.

Whites Refused Registration.

Aiken, Aug. 10.-There seems to
be a great deal of indignation in this
county at the action Of the registra-
ton board in refusing to register
white men. Among the men so re-
fused, it is said, are some of the best
men in the county. Last week Mr..
Bowling Lowe, an old Confederate
veteran of Windsor with an honor
able record, was not allowed to re-
new his certificate, even though he
was formerly registered. In some
cases, it is said, no questions are ask
ed by the board, but in other cases
the line is drawn so tight that good
men are refused as in the case OF Mr.
Lowe. So far there are some Is men
disfranchised. The board, it is al
legged, has violated the law in regis
tering men who are not qualified and
using this as a ''cause" petitions will
be circulated asking that the board
be removed from office. The Aiken
delegation visited the board on
Thursday and tried to impress upon
them that they were not carrying
out the intent of the law, but it is
not known what effect this visit will
have upon the registration board. IN
the case of Mr.. Lowe, the chairman,
Mr.. George Weeks, refused to allow
him to register, while Mr.. Bates
wanted to issue the certificate. Mr..
Turner, the third member, was alb
sent.
The people are indignant and this
is one of the principal topics for dis
cussion in the county now. If the
petitions are not laid before the gov
ernor it is probable that the Aiken
delegation will change the makeup
of the registration committee.

Couldn't Bluff the Minister.

Cole Blease appeared in new role
Yesterday. He not only attacked
Governor Ansel and the newspapers
but the ministers of the gospel re-
ceived some attention yesterday. IN
his campaign speech while defenolng
his liauor principles he said: III
Won want prohibition let the minis
ters preach the gospel and stop going
into York county and telling lies on
me" When he had finished his
speech Rev. J. L. Harley, superlnten-
dent of the Anti-Saloon League VINO
had recently been making speeches
in York county confronted Mr. B!ease
on the court house square ana look
ing him square in the eyes said: MT:
Blease I am a minister of the gospel
and / have recently made speeches IN
York county. I want you to name
the minister who has lied on you
Mr.. Blease declared that he did not
know the man and the only founda-
ton he had for his remarkable state
ment was, that some man had told
him (Blease) that minister had
said that his (Blease's) campaign ex-
penSeS were pe1uS Poiu W @AS A4
people.
When seen MIR. Harley made this
statement: while was in YORK
county speaking in the interest OF
prohibition, l made this statement IN
the court house at Yorkville and also
at the Filbert picnic on Saturday the
25th inst.
"The liquor people are thoroughly
organized in every county. in South
Carolina. They have men running
for Office, and while could not prove
it, neither would swear 1t, yet l am
satisfied in my own mind that they
have a candidate for governor in this
State. l did not name this man, l
called no mans name. went furth-
er and stated that was satisfied In
nv own mind that some men running
for Office in South Carolina were max
ing more out of their race than they
would ever make out of the office for
which they were running, if elected"
ssThese things" said Mr.. Harley,
'I believe are true. have every
reason to believe that in every coun-
ty in the State money is being used
by the liquor people outside of the
State of South Carolina. A secret
warfare is being waged against good
citizenship; against the interest of
the people, against the morals OF the
people; against the ministry; against
the church of God. You may say in
your paper that I am personally re-
sponsible for my views in this mat
ter. / have been in every large city
in the State; have spoken in more
than half the counties in the past
three months. have seen and heard
a good deal. I tell you South Caro-
lima is the strategic point for the IL
quor element. Our people must not
be deceived and must wake up"
Mr.. Harley was then asked: "Who
is Rev. J. W. Wolling, the Methodist
minister at Newberry whom Mr..
Blease is referring to, to substantiate
his good character?"
Mr.. Harley's answer was: Broth
er Wolling has been a missionary in
Brazil for the past twenty years. Re-
Gently he was transferred from the
Brazil conference to South Carolina
and for the past few months has
served the Methodist church at New

EAT WHAT AND
 WHEN YOU WANT No Need of Dieting For Indigestion. SCIENCE FINDS TRUE CURE. Stomach Must Be Strengthened Before Relief Is Possible. Wonderful Results Here in Montgsm- cry From the Use of Mi-o-na
 stomach Tablets--soId
 Under Guaraatee.
SCIENCE FINDS TRUE CURE.

A few years ago. when sufferer from indigestion went to a stomach specialist the result was rigid diet list that almost meant starvation.
 But the first thing to do fin the case of indigestion or stomach weakness iH to strengthen the muscular walls Of the stomach and intestines. so that they will care for the food that is eaten. In no other way can this bs done as well as by taking, a Mi-o-na tablet be- fore each meal. This restores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastric juices. so its nourishment retained in the system to build up energy and vitality,
 Do not think the. sick headache. heartburn, bad taste in the mouth coated tongue, spots before the eyes, sieeplessness and the many other symp- toms that are the direct result of in- digestion, will go away of themselves. The stomach must be built up ana strengthened by Mt-o-na before you can be well and strong, free from euf@ fering and distress.
 In many of the best homes in Mont- gomery and adjoining towns. the handy little Mi-o-pa tablets. so pleasant to take, yet so effective, have given quick and lasting relief from indigestion and that disagreeable full feeling after eat ing.
 The guarantee that E.e c. Fowler na. to refund the money unless the remedy cures, shows their confidence in the treatment.
 He takes the whole risk. Mi-o-na will not cost you . penny unless it cures.

THE HJMAN STOMACH.
Many GrievOus Abuses to Which if h

Many GFIevous Abuses to Which ff h
 Subject.
 A persons attitude toward the world, toward life. toward humanity, is large ly determined by the condition of his stomach. <
 Many and grievous are the abuses 10 which the average person subjects hts stomach. The wonder is not that so many but that so few stomachs, smart ing under provocation. do not organtxe d strike.
 But when the stomach. long abused. does turn, there is something doing In paying penalties and squaring accounts. Life Is made miserable by sick head aches. nervousness. distress after eat ing sleeplessness, coated tongue. spots before the eyes, general debility and the many other symptoms Of indiges- tion.
 Something more is needed than the ordinary digestive tablets which hay. been used so reckBessiy in the past. The weakened muscles of the stomach need strength enlng and the whole di- gestive system must be toned up and stimulated before the stomach trouble can be cured.
 Nothing else will so quickly do this as Mi-o-na stomach tablets. The secret of It's success Hes in the fact tha Mi o-na is prepared especially to strenEth- on the digestive organs. Its use for a few days puts the whole digestive sys- tenn in such shape that it can care for all the food that is eaten without pain or distress.
 P. e. Fowler sells Mi-o-na in se-eent boxes under a guarantee to refund the money unless it gives perfect eaaiseac- ton and does all that is claimed Tor C

Miles Through Mud and

 The accommodations at the Lowery home were iirpited. Judge Reynolds ordered big 1g fire to be built in tue yard and about this blaze some fifteen witnesses gathered and kept as warm as they could. In the house. by flick ering kerosene lamp. the court held it's session, The wounded man gave his testimony with great difficulty. After he had been sworn. as he lay in bed. he told between gasps the story of the shooting as 1t occurred at the little satien.
 0he by one the witnesses were called frofh the blazing log fire in the front yard to give their testimony to the court as 1t sat in the light of a kero- sene lamp. The court finally adjourned about o'clock. Then the question faced each member of the party. where will I spend the night7 Tine return march back to Minooka was taken up. A kindly neighbor offered to show a part of the court a foot-path which would avoid some of the mud and roughness of the road. It was later discovered that this foot path led over narrow log spanning a creek four feet deep. Each member of the party had to guide himself over the foot log by a long pole. Pat McGauiy. the of- ficial stenographer. dropped his note hook with all the proceedings of the trial in it' in the creek. At his cry of alarm. the party halted and the book was fished oN of the stream.
 There was another cry of alarm, and it was learned that the prisoners felt hat had blown off into the creek. It was fished out and placed on his head. But 1t gave him but poor comfort. for it froze before Minooka was reached. At Minooka most of the members of the party found place to sleep. through the volunteer hospitality of the people.
 "In an experience of twenty years in court reporting, never saw an incl dent just like that moving court in the country" said Mir. McGauly on his return to Montgomery. Judge Key holds admitted Armstrong to bail, which he made.
