Drove NEGRO From County.

Yorkville, July 2O.-About ten days
or two weeks ago report gained cur
rency in neighborhood about seven
miles northeast of Yorkville, near
Clover, that a horrible assault had
been made on the person of little
white girl. An investigation proved
it to be utterly false and without
foundation. Citizens of the neighbor-
hood made careful inquiry as to the
author of the report, and finally fast
ened guilt on Bob Howard, negro.
On last Monday night a number of
men visited his home, took him out,
applied 100 lashes to his back and ad-
vised him to leave the State never to
return, by noon yesterday. He went
It is claimed that he started similar
reports in several other neighborhoods
in which he had lived in the county.

NO REASON FOR II.
When Lexington Citizens Show
the Certain Way Out.

There can be no just reason why
any reader of this will continue to
suffer the tortues of an aching back,
the annoyance of urinary disorders,
the dangers of diabetes of any kidney
ills when relief is so near at hand and
the most positive proof given that
they can be cured. Read what a
Lexington citizen says:
G. A. Geiger, living on Depot St.,
Lexington, S. c., says: 'For several
months had been suffering from dull
pains across the small of my back and
as they did not disappear, I came to
the conclusion that my kidneys were
affected. At night after lying down
my back would pain me intensely,
and also noticed an irregularity in
the action of the kidneys. The Sc
cretions were much to frequent and I
was feeling miserable when I procur-
ed Doan's Kidney Pills at The Kauf-
mann Drug Co. I used them as di-
rected and they proved to be the
remedy I needed. They have helped
me 80 much that I feel will soon be
entirely we'll. 1t gives me pleasure
to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to
other sufferers."

Quite number of candidates were
in town last Saturday going to and
from the Priceville and Crout cues.
Prof. L. B. Haynes, after attending
the Crout cue and spending the time
most pleasantly in the Pond Branch
section, called on friends in town and
remained over Sunday night with
Rev. Rountree.
The protracted meeting al Beulah
church is going on now. The services
are well attended and it is hoped that
much good will be done.
Mr.. Kilian Hook left on Monday for
Little Mountain, where he goes to
build a pretty dwelling for Prof. w.

with him were Messrs. Harry and

Fruit and melons are the most plen-

A Strange Animal, This.

A special to the News and Courier
from Walterboro says:
For some days past the people OF
Cottageville have been very much ex-
ercised oventhe appearance in that
neighborhood of a strange animal. 1t
is described by those who have seen
it as being entirely different from
anything they have ever seen before
in the animal kingdom. 1t is about
the size of yearling calf, has head
shaped like dog, screams like pea
cock and leaps like kangaroo. Some
persons who have seen it say that 1t
is affrighted; others that it is vicious
and shows signs of attacking them.
On the whole it is most peculiar an
imal.
