DIED FROM PELLAGRA.
Chester Woman Succumbs to An At
tack of the Dread Disease.
lNews and Courier special.l


Chester, Aug. 26.-Mrs. M. A.
Gwtnn died at her home on Pinckney
street at. 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon from the effects of pellagra.
Dr.. S. G. Miller, who attended Mrs.
Gwinn in her last illness, says that
her case was one of the most acute
that he has heard of since this dread
new disease began its scourges in the
South. He was called in to see Mrs.
Gwinn about the last of June, al
though she was Of the opinion that
she had been suffering from the dis
ease imperceptibly for a number of
years. She had a very sore mouth,
one of the sure symptoms of pellag-
ra, and her hands were marked with
the rash, which is another accompa-
niment. Her mind was clear at all
times, however, her faculties being
as good as ever up to the very mo-
ment of her death.
There are two other sure cases of
pellagra here at present, and several
more suspected cases.

WalhalIa Women are Finding Relief

1t does seem that women have
more than fair share of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity: they
must keep up" must attend to du-
ties in spite of constant aching backs,
or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing
dowu pains; they must stoop over,
when to stoop means torture. They
must walk and bend and work with
racking pains and many aches from
kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suf-
fering than any other organ of the
body. Keep the kidneys well and
health Is easily maintained. Read
of remedy for kidneys only that
helps and cures the kidneys and is

A Tribute Of Love.

w. X. Ables died at his home near
Reeder Ford on August 4th, 1909,
after short illness of typhoid fever
While friends throughout the COM
munity knew that he was seriously
Ill, and anxious inquiries were made
on all sides as to his condition, still
the announcement Of his death came
as shock to the people. He was
widely known for his many Chris
tian virtues, his quiet, unassuming
manners and deep interest in the
welfare of all about him. Mr.. Ables
was born July 23, 1872, being the
oldest son Of Harrison Ables. On
February 5, 1892, he was happily
married to Miss Ida Sullivan, who
with five children, is left to mourn
his death. He had been a consistent
member of Beaverdam Baptist church
for seventeen years. His daily
thoughts and talk were of his Saw
iour. He seemed to feel a comfort
ing assurance of His constant pres
ence and love. His death had no
sting, the grave no terror. To those
left behind he leaves an example of
deep and abiding faith, Of patient
resignation under affection, and the
fullest trust in the Saviour. His
body was laid to rest on Thursday
morning in the churchyard of Bea-
verdam Baptist church. His family
have our deepest sympathy. He has
passed from this world of sin and
pain to a land of eternal rest. He
may not come to us, but it is a sweet
and comforting thought that we can
go to him. ''The Lord gave and the
Lord has taken away: Blessed be the
name OF the Lord Nephew.

DOCTOR SLAIN AT JOHNSTON.
Domestic Trouble Causes Homicide
i'm Edgefield County.
(News and Courier specjal.) }


Edgefield, Aug. 26.-Dr. Charles
Titwell was shot and fatally wound
ed by his brother-in-law, Yancey NJ.
May, at Johnston, this morning,
about 8 o'clock. The weapon used
was shotgun. DR.. Titwell received
two wounds-one little to the left
of the backbone on the left side, and
the other in tho shoulder. He lived
about thirty minutes after he was
shot, and it is said that he made an
statement to DR.. B. l..
3)sllen, but what it was has not been
disclosed.
From the testimony taken at the
inquest it appears that the deceased
and his wife had had some trouble
yesterday, during which he chastised
her. 1t was alleged that she left and
went to the home of her brother-in-
law, and that her husband went there
this morning and endeavored to get
her to return home, which she re-
fused to do. 1t is stated that during
his stay Mr. May and the doctor got
into an alteration, during which
time Mrs. Titwell left and went to
neighbor's house. The deceased then
came back into the street, and was
going in pursuit of his wife, when
Mr. May appeared on the scene with
shotgun, the contents of which he
emptied into the body of DR.. Titwell.
The shooting occurred some dist
ance from the house of Mr.. May, and
as yet it is not known what the de-
ceased was doing at the time he re-
ce.ved his mortal wounds.
Titwell Is from Newberry county,
hnd had only lived In Johnston a
Short while. May Is one of John
ston's best citizens, and claims that
the killing was entirely justifiable,
and unavoidable. Mr.. May has sur
rendered to the sheriff, and will ap-
ply for bail at once before Judge De-
Wore here.
Titwell's remains were sent to his
home in Newberry. The affair Is
deeply deplored by all.

How They Found the Roads.

Murray T. Davenport. who was
sent out by the Minneapolis Tribune
on the Little Glidden Tour" which
passed thru here a short time ago,
has the following to say regarding
the roads traversed on the last day
Of the tour:
ION the last days run of the
Little Glidden" tour the Twin
City autoist came over firm. hard
roads, all of which were exceedingly
dusty and many of them rough and
uneven. "For slow vehicles most
of the roads would have proven
good. but the autoists were in too
much of u hurry to reach the end
of their long trip to waste any
time and as q result the uneven
places were covered with speed
that Jared the occupant of the cars
considerably.
"There has been some attempt at
dragging and smoothing the roads
in some Of tie districts. Just out
of Benson, Mimi. in Swift county.
and for a little time in Meeker
county, roads were seen that gave
evidence of dragging since the last
heavy rains. But for the most part
the roads have been left to smooth
themselves.
because of the long continued
dry weather and heavy teaming on
all the roads the surface had been
ground down fairly smooth as far
as wheel tracks were concerned,
but cross ruts made by rains were
not helped in that way, and the
dust and sand accumulated every
where.
1.-The first county that seemed to
have made any systematic attempt
to fill these cross ruts was Kandiyo-
hi. The roads in that county were
wide and fairly easy travelling.
Dirt roads predominated and re-
/ pairs in that and some other coun-
ties had been made almost entirely
with black dirt instead of gravel.
In connection with the tour a
prize was offered by the Tribune
to the county having the best roads,
Traverse county was declared the
winner, tho Meeker and Wright
counties were favorably mentioned,
