CATARRH
4 SYSTEMIC BLOOD DISEASE

Catarrh is not merely an ahection
of the mucous membranes; it is
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part OF
the system are involved. 1t is more
commonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because of the sensi-
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms OF Ca
tarrh, such as tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, thsoat clogged
and dry, hacking cough, etc, show
that the tiny blood vessels OF the mu--
cous membranes are badly congested
and inflamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per-
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed of all un-
healthy matter. Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. 1t attacks

r Deer's Race With Trolley,

That a deer can run 40 miles an
hour and need take no dust from q
trolley car was demonstrated here to-
day between a car and fully grown
buck on the Winnipaugh division.
For half a mile the deer easily
maintained his place at the side OF
the car, although Motorman Fred
erick w. F. Andrews showed the con-
troller over to the fourth notch in an
effort to outstrip the animal.
Then, with a shake Of his head
and twist of his little tail, the buck
vaulted a six foot fence at the SIDE
of the road and disappeared in the
woods He was seemingly unWlnded
and acted as though he had enjoyed
the race as much as had the score OF
passengers who gathered on the plat
forms and at the windows and shout
ed encouragement to the deer.
Deer are frequently seen in this
neighborhood, but this is the first
one that ever raced with trolley

that the following members O, q

River development from Charleston
to Orangeburg would come to Wash
ington January 8, and appear before
the river and harbor board OF the
war department: Messrs. Samuel
Dibble, w. L. Glover, NJ. o. Dantzler,
R. n. Jennings, J. P. Matheney.
These gentlemen will ask the board
to affirm the report OF Engineer
Adams recently made to the effect
that the river between Charleston
and Orangeburg Is worthy Of devel-
opment.
: It will be remembered that the
board turned down Capt. Adams's
recommendation and an effort will
now be made to have this decision
reversed.
1--WE are prepared to take the fight
all the way up to the Secretary OF
War, and the President, II neces-
sary," said Representative Lever to-
day. "And we will make every pos-
sible effort to show that when the
board took the position that COM

Paper to President.

Wife OF Banker Writes Remarkable
Paper to President.
Charles w. Morse's petition for
pardon has been formally presented
to the department of justice in Wash
ton.
Mrs. Morse has made another petit
tion for her husband, and this has
been presented to President Taft by
Senator Hale. The president sent it
at once to Attorney General Wicker
sham, who turned it over to the at
torney in charge of pardons.
Mrs. Morse's personal petition
came in the form Of letter address
ed to the president 1t was type
written and covered about two pages
of note paper. In it Mrs. Morse made
a simple, business-like plea for the
release of her husband, calling the
presidents attention to what she said
was an immense popular interest
in the case. She declared that the
general sentiment of the many thous-
ands of peole who had signed the
petition was that the sentence i'm
posed upon her husband was "out-
rageous;; that he had no intention
of wronging the National Bank of
North America; that no depositor
had lost dollar, and that at most
he had only been found guilty of
technical violation of the national
bank law.
Her letter is generally conceded to
be one of the most remarkable of its
kind ever received at the department.
Approximately $4,000 names are
signed to the petition.

She Suspected That He Was.


F. C. Bentley, who used to practice
law in Kansas and who is now loyal
Chicagoan, tells this story as an
illustration of the wit of the Murdock
family of Wichita:
in the early 's0s play was given
by local talent in Wichita, and all So
cial events of the town date from
that performance. Tiger Bill''
Campbell, judge of the district court,
was the star, and the play was The
Union Spy The principal climax of
the play occurs when the Southern
planter, who is a Union sympathizer,
is killed by Confederates. Judge
Walker, a celebrated justice of the
peace on the frontier and the pos
SCISSOR of stomach that was by far
the most prominent part of him, was
the planter. All the young girls in
the town were supposed to kneel
around his body and weep-tableau!
John Fisher, who was the sherln
at Wichita and a great wag, on the
second night Of the play put bit of
limburger cheese in one of the plant
er's spacious pockets just before he
went upon the stage to be killed. Af-
ter the Confederates had shot him
down, and the girls, with their hand
kerchiefs ready for use, had knelt
around the portly body, Tiger Bill,
the Union spy, entered, saying:

SUICIDE AT LODGE.
Mamie Carter Attempts to Kill Wife
and then Kills Himself.

After shooting at his wife and evil
dently believing her dead, young
Mamie Carter, running a few hun
dred yards from the scene of the
shooting, and placing the muzzle OF
his gun at chest, ended his life. The
killing took place on the farm of R.
Bennett Tuesday, December 9Th, at
about noon.
It seems that young Carter and
his wife had not been getting on
very well. Although they had been
married only about four months,
they had separated two or three
times.
Young Carter had threatened on
several occasions to kill his wife and
then himself, but no one thought
that he was in earnest. Tuesday
morning he borrowed single barrel
shotgun from George Cook and
bought five shells, claiming that he
was going squirrel hunting. His
wife, who was working for Mrs. Ben
nett, believed that he had gone to
hunt for squirrels, but about noon
he returned and calling her told her
that he had something to tell her
and insisted on her coming to the
fence where he was. She, at first,
refused to go, but finally yielded to
his entreaties and went. Youg Car:
ter cautiously brought the gun
around to where he thought he
would kill his wife, but she divinins
his purpose, caughth the muzzle and
showed it to one side just as he fired
with the result that only one shot
took effect in her finger. The load
was lodged in the side of the house
within a few inches Of where Mrs.
Bennett was standing by the win
dow.
Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Bennett, and her
two daughters-in-law, who were all
present, began screaming, and Car
ter, evidently believing that he had
killed his wife, ran across the field,
about 400 yards from the house a
report of a gun was heard and a
searching party finally located him
dead between two cotton rows

BROWN IN FAIRFIELD. JAIL.
Will Answer for Killing Of Negro
Ferryman at Shelton.

A. Brown, white man, who on
last Saturday cut q negro named j.
Gilmore Richardson, the ferryman, at
Shelton, Broad river, who died in
Chester on Monday afternoon as a
result of his injuries, came to the jail
this morning of the early morn
ing train from Columbia and surren-
dered himself to the sheriff. Brown
was placed in Jail, but gives no ac-
count of the difficulty and seems very
adverse to talk about it.
From what can be learned about
the affair, it seems that Brown was
on the Newberry side of the river and
wished to be ferried across to Shell
ton on the Fairfield side, and failing
to find the negro Richardson at the
ferry fat, called for some time for
him. Receiving no response he pro-
cured a rowboat and rowed himself
across, and when he had crossed
found the negro and admonished
him for not being at the ferry. The
negro became very insolent and used
several oaths and, it is saids was in
the act of getting rock from the
ground with the intention Of strik-
ing the white man, when he pulled
his pocket knife and slashed him sew
eral times across the abdomen. The
negro was badly cut and in a preca-
rious condition when he was hurried
to the Magadalene hospital in Ches-
ter, for medical attention, where he
died Monday. Unless bond is Sc
cured Brown will remain in Jail un-
til the February term of court Of gen.
eral sessions, when he will be tried
