THE vicTIM OF DRINK.
Needs orrine Treatment.

Drink first destroys ambition;
breaks up ties of friendship; it kills
and buries love and eventually de-
stroys the family life.
Some of the best men in the world
have been victims of drink and if
there is not some member in your
family that is afflicted with this dis
ease, you arc indeed fortunate.
Drink cunningly destroys the will
power, and while the drunkard wants
to do what you tell him, he wants a
thousand times more the drink that
he Graves.
Drunkenness is no. longer consider
ed crime; eminent scientists and
physicians have agreed that it is a
disease and must be treated as such.
The home treatment that has been
used for number of years, and is
highly successful, is Orrine. 1t is
sold under a positive guarantee that
| if it does not effect cure your money
will be refunded.
Orrine is in two forms. When de.
string to give secretly, purchase Or.

unfairly take the treatment, Orrine

piarrhoea Remedy.

There is probably no medicine made
that is relied upon with more implicit
confidence than Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Dur
ing the third of a century in which
it has been in use, people have learned
that it is the one remedy that never
fails. When reduced with water and
sweetened it is pleasant to take. For
sale by all druggists.

The corner in corn at Chicago will
hardly help the farmers that have

Jealousy. A most beautiful tribute
Of love and esteem was sent her pa

Christian. She was received into the

death, but she gave the most salts
factory evidence of her conversion
and she went away from us in the
sweet assurance of eternal life. II

this morning at Wexford on the
charge of wrecking passenger train

made a confession in jail here this
afternoon.

until he got near Wexford depot,
when he threw the other piece away.
The negro told the officers that ne
slept between box car and the SEED
house at Wexford last night. When
he awoke this morning he saw man
walking down the track and asked
him if there had been a wreck and
was told there had been. AgneW SAID

OUT ON BOND.
Seven of the Twelve Negroes Arrested
at Ninety-Six Secure Release.

Greenwood, September 24.-Seven
of the twelve negroes arrested at
Ninety-Six on the charge Of conspir-
acy against certain white people there
have been released from Jail. This
was done on the recommendation OF
Solicitor Cooper, who came over Sat
urday from Laurens. He recommend
ed that bond Of $500 each be re-
quired of them. The negroes found
no difficulty in securing white people
at Ninety-Six to go on their bonds
and they were released.
Five are still held here in jail. They
have not demanded a preliminary and
it is presumed they will remain here
until the approaching term OF the
court Of general sessions. They are
the ones who were at the so-called
executive session of the colored Odd
Fellows as stated by the Rev. John
ny" Dean, the informer.
Odd and amusing tales OF Deans s
past are coming to light in the devel.
opment Of affairs. He Is still in jail
here. He seems to have been a pretty
smooth proposition for colored citi-
zen for some years past.
He still denies that he wrote the
letter which he received here as ad-
dressed to "Hartie Harris" Copies
of his handwriting and the noted
Harris letter were taken home by So
licitor Cooper and he stated that he
would have them sent to some hand
writing expert. The opinion, as be.
fore stated, is general that Dean used
the time and circumstances follow
ing a disturbed condition to "get
even" with some of his own race.
