Deputy George Jones, who was called to
Blue Creek this morning. supposedly to
bring back two negroes that were alleged
to have been implicated in the murder of
Edward Jones, the old veteran that was
killed at North Johns last Monday. re-
turned this afternoon without the negroes,
claiming that there was no evidence, and
that at the coroner's inquest today the
jury returned with a verdict that Ed
Jones came by his death from gunshot
wounds from unknown parties.
He says that several men there made
sworn statements that Mr.. Jones had be-
tween $500 and 5000 on his person the aft
ernoon before the murder, and when he
was discovered this money was missing.
which makes it very clear that he was
killed for this money. Up to the present
time not the slightest clue has been OBJ
tanned as to the guilty parties.

This symbol, printed in red, is literally
the same to the opponents of the white
plague as the Geneva cross is to its men,
bers. 1t is the symbol wherever used that
men and women are organizing to fight
tuberculosis. Already it means the same
thing in practically every civilized coun-
try-"Stamp out tuberculosis" Where
this symbol originated no one knows def
initely. 1t is supposed to come from
France and its unknown designer is sup
posed to have added another bar to the
Red Cross as the tuberculosis symbol.
At any rate, it was adopted as the sign
of the international tuberculosis congress.
1t is used by every group whether here or
there, which has membership in the in
ternational movement. French, Danish,
German, Swedish, Italian. Swiss societies
all use the red cross with two bars"
Already, however, the symbol is UNDER
stood by probably hundreds Of thousands
of people throughout the civilized world
Neighboring cities and states are to be
asked to take part in the fight, and it is
hoped that the results of New Yorx's
Fair for Health" will stimulate other
cities into action and reduce the $50 900
deaths from tuberculosis in this country
to an insignificant figure.

risk of getting consumption yourself.
ITO prevent making a great dust in

In busting a room do not use feath-

the dust from the room, but only brushes
it into the air so that you breathe it in;
or it settles down and then you have to
do the work over again.
Use soft, dry cloths to dust with and
shake them frequently out of the win

rinse them out in water when you have
finished In this way you get the dust
out of the room.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 27.-(Special.)-Eu rope would not follow the advance here of yesterday, a quick rally there being followed by slow decline on the weaker tone of the American markets. As the weather promises to become clear and warmer, further liquidation of the bal ance of the Wall street interests came on the market during the day, finally bringing about low prices. There was some moderate buying by few spinners' brokers, though only to a moderate de- gree. Also there was a demand before the forthcoming bureau report, which. to- gether, absorbed these offerings. sense of disappointment pervades the trade that the foreign markets did not sustain their improvement this morning in view of the damage from the recent rains in the Caro- linaS.
