jim DAVIS DENIES 1T.
Now Says He Did Not Shoot the Negro
Alex Ray.


A few days ago the Greenville Pied
mont carried local story to the eff
feet that the prisoners confined in the
Greenville jail had organized prison
court for the purpose, it was stated,
of Furnishing those found guilty of
any infraction of jail regulations. But
it remained for a Laurens jail bird"
to assume the role of counsellor for
fellow prisoner. This refers to the
fact that Jim Davis, the self confessed
murderer of Alex Ray, now denies
that he fired the shot that sent the
third victim of one nights butchery
to instant death. He has changed his
mind, upon reflection" and second"
thought, and no one knows exactly
what else, but the prisoner who
brought about this change has been
spotted"
Meantime Davis will languish in
his steel cage, having from now until
June to perfect his brief"

Blythe.
United States Secret Service Agent
Henry E. Thomas. who ferreted out

dent after the preliminary trial said
that several weeks ago he received
from Chicago headquarters a letter
the Trotter girl had written to Sears,

which had been raised to $40. Armed
with this evidence and data he came to
Greenville and from here went to Ma
rietta, in the upper part of this coun-
ty, where, after few hours search,
he had very little difficulty in affect
ing the girls arrest.
On her arrest the girl frankly ad-
mitted raising the bill, declaring that
she believed herself innocent of any
crime. She is bright-faced little lass
With deep blue eyes and hair with a
tinge of Titan. She was held i'm $500

they told the officers that she had
good clothes-plenty of them-and had
everything she wanted in reason.

tanned an order for a hair switch, hair

The Sleeping Sickness.

The terrible sleeping sickness Of

The disease. which long baffled scien-
lists, Is spread by the tsetse fly. a
b!oodsucking. day flying insect. On the
approach of either man or animal at a
river crossing In the densest forest
the victim is soon scented out by the
fly, II there Is one IN the vicinity. and
then, either silently or with peevish
buzz, It makes straight for the most
accessible spot and gives it's stab.
The usual course Of the disease is
from four to eight months. At the
outset there are headache, a feverish
condition, lassitude and correspond
ing disinclination to work. The facial
aspect changes, and previously happy
and intelligent looking negro becomes
instead dull. heavy and apathetic

Cause Of Fatty heart.

The -eDent danger from obesity lies
in the liability Of the fat to invade the
cellular elements Of the body. especial
~ the muscles. This produces fatty
degeneration of the muscular tissues,
which greatly weakens and impairs
their functional activity. When the
fat invades the tissues Of the heart
muscles the disease known as fatty
degeneration of the heart" results, and
the patient is In serious danger. When
ever a slight additional strain upon the
circulation results from undue exer-
else, excitement or other cause the
muscles interfere with the hearts ac-
ton, and It is liable to cease beating.
Anaemia and hysteria often are accom-
paniments of obesity. Because Of the
increased weight and difficulty OF
moving about such patients are pre-
vented from taking an ordinary
amount Of exercise. Often. too, there
are a lassitude and positive dislike
for muscular exertion Of any kind

W. G. Wood attributes car sickness
to the nystagmus produced by looking
out of the car windows. Look out Of
car window and observe how
rapidly the telegraph poles flit by.
Each one is seen and involuntarily fol-
lowed by the eye until 1t Is opposite,
when the eye shifts to the one follow
ing. This is true Of near buildings.
Objects farther away seem to move
slower, and those very far of seem to
be almost stationary until the whole
landscape appears to be revolving
round q common center, The un-
conscious effort to take In everything
produces q rapid lateral oscillation of
the eyeballs, as any one can observe
by watching the eyes Of his fellow
passengers. The eye strain is enor-
nous and is the chief factor in pro
ducing car sickness. This can be
proved by asking q patient who is
subject to car sickness to look steadily
at q mirror which Is moved rapidly
to and fro or tilted backward and
forward. He will Immediately COM
plain Of nausea and vertigo. The
treatment consists of advising the
patient to avoid looking out Of the car
windows and In giving him grain of
citrated caffeine shortly before he
takes the cars and repeating 1t every
hour as long as there is any tendency
to be sick. The author has been en-.
abled by this procedure to relieve
many sufferers from car Sickness
