Dies at Age of III Years.

Lexington, Dec. 11.-"Aunt Ma
linda" Wise, one of the oldest color
ed persons in this section, died at
her home, near here on December g.,
at the very ripe old age of about III.
She was born in Virginia, where she
lived until she was 40 years old,
when she was sold to a slave-trader,
who brought her to South Carolina
and sold her to Mr.. Fred Wise, of
the Dutch Fork section Of this
county. She remained in the family
OF Mr.. Wise until she was freed
from bondage. Both as bond and
free servant she gave excellent ser
vice, and this service won for her
the love, honor and high esteem of
the white and colored race. She
was ever faithful and true. Her life
has been a remarkable one from
many points of view, and her death
is mourned by many.
She is survived by two children,
twenty-three grandchildren and
thirty-five great-grand-children.

Didn't Know Him.

A rather pompous looking deacon
in certain city church was asked to
take charge of a class of boys during
the absence of the regular teacher.
While endeavoring to impress upon
their young minds the Importance Of
living a Christian life the following
question was propounded:
why do people call me Chris
tian, children?" the worthy dignitary
asked, standing very erect and smil-
ing down upon them.
Because they don't know you,'
was the ready answer of a bright
eyed little boy, responding to the in
gratiating smile with one equally
guileless and winning.

OLD WOMAN ATTACKED.
Assaulted by Robbers, She May Not
Recover.

Spartanburg, Dec. 12.-Mrs. Salhe
Green, better known as Aunt SAL
lie," an aged and respected white
woman, living alone on small farm
of 12 acres, three miles southwest OF
Campobello, was struck in the head
with an axe Friday night and left
for dead by some party, who is sup
posed to have robbed her of what
money she had in the house.
Today a granddaughter of Aunt
Sallie" came to see her. She found
the house closed up and apparently
no one at home. On entering she
found her grandmother lying on the
bed in an unconscious condition,
weltering in her own blood, with a
terrible cash in her head. Help was
summoned and the old woman came
to herself sufficiently to tell how it
happened and to call the name OF a
white man who came to her house
Friday night. She said that she had
s25 in greenbacks and $50 in silver.
The money could not be found. Sher-
if Nichols was notified and he hur-
ried Deputy Metcalf to the scene this
afternoon with instructions to arrest
the man whose name the old woman
called. It is supposed the party
knocked the old woman in the head
and then took her money, leaving
her for dead.
Aunt Sallie" Green is about 70
years Of age. She lived alone on a
little isolated 12-acre farm. She is
the widow of a Confederate soldier
and draws q pension of $4S per an
mum. She has the reputation OF be-
ing a miserly old woman and is sup
posed to have money hid about the
place somewhere. Her condition is
such that it is hardly thought that
she will live.

NEGRO BRUTE DEALT WITH
GEORGIA POSSE CATCHES Ne
GRO AND THEN LOSES" HIM.
Outrageous Act Of Drunken Desper-
ado Near Valdosta-Dragged
Young Lady from the Bed.

Valdosta, Ca, Dec. 12.-Parties
who came here last night from
Statesville, in Echols county,
brought some rather meager details
of the exciting experience which the
family of Mr.. Fisher Belote had at
the hands of a negro desperate who
ran amuck during the previous
night and bolted into the house
where the members of the family
were sleeping.
The negro was evidently one who
had had some trouble with Mr.. Be-
lote and, after becoming drunk at a
negro frolic, later went to the white
mans home for trouble.
The negro first broke open the
door of his home and rushed into
the room where the wife and sick
daughter were sleeping, exclaiming:
II want old Fisher Belote," and
firing three shots from his revolver
into the roof. Mrs. Belote, who kept
her nerve remarkably well, told the
negro that Mr.. Belote was not in
the room.
The negro then stumbled to the
bed where the sick daughter was ly-
ing, catching her by the foot and
saying: Here he is," and at the
same time firing two shots into the
head of the bed.
By that time Mrs. Belote had got
ton out of the bed and secured the
rifle and was calling her husband
from the adjoining room to come
and shoot the negro. A younger
son, Harper, in the meantime, ran in
with his little single-barrel gun and
fired once at the negro, but in his
excitement the shot went wild,
crashing through a. bureau mirror.
The negro then left the place and
fed from the scene.
Messengers were sent to the con-
vict camps at Tarver for the track
dogs and they were put on his track
following the negro for many miles
He was trailed along the Georgia
Southern road toward Valdosta, but
disappeared in Grand bay, where the
pursuers followed him. They were
close upon his heels when they en-.
tered the bay.
After several hours in there, the
pursuers came out without the ne
gro. They stated, however, that he
would not make any more midnight
raids. They did not say 80, but it Ii
the general belief that the negro
either resisted arrest and was killed
or he was given a speedy courtmar'
tial and received the verdict o1
death.
The affair happened in a section
that does not believe much in bur
dening court dockets with sucf
cases when the right man can be
| caught.

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole
Body-Make You Ill, Languid
and Depressed.

Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of
life-giving albumen from the blood.
into the urine, and the substitution
of poisonous acid that goes broad
cast through the system, sowing the
seeds of disease. Loss Of albumen
causes weakness, languor, depres-
sion. Uric poisoning causes rheu-
matte pain. nervousness, nausea,
cricks in the back, gravel and kidney
stones. The proper treatment Is q
kidney treatment, and the best reme-
dy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Great
Bamberg cures prove it..
R. NJ. Zeigler, living in the north
ern part of Bamberg, S. c., says: II
am recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills in the hope that others may use
them and be benefited thereby. i
was bothered by attacks of backache
for more than a year. The kidneys
were also badly disordered and at
times I had considerable dificultX In
passing the kidney secretiens. Upon
learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, 1
went to the Peoples drug store and
procured a supply. They have al.
ready given me a great deal Of relief.

White Boy Arrested.

Spartanburg, Dec. 11.-Minus Pat
terson, an S-year-old white boy, was
lodged in jail on charge of burglary
for entering the store of the Enoree
Manufacturing Co., on the night of
Dec. 8. The youth made confes-
sion, it is said, when taken before a
magistrate for investigation. Presi-
dent Coffin does not want the boy sent
to the penitentiary, but to the re-
formatory.
1t is reported from good authority
that the officials of the Southern road
have decided to abandon the. freight
depot at the present site and erect a
large and modern depot in the old S.
u. & C. yards. The depot is too con-
gested for the growing business and
larger quarters are needed.
Supt. Falls, it is said, was in Spar
tanburg recently and visited the S.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
