temple with a 32-calibre Smith &
Wesson pistol. Mr.. Jenkins came to
Society Hill about IL o'clock to-day
and put up his horse at Mr.. Sompay-
RAGS stable. Shortly after doing so,
Mr.. Sompayrac asked him why he
was so nervous, and he stated that he
slept very little last night. Mr.. Som
payrac insisted on his going up to
the hotel and going to a room and
resting awhile, but he declined to do
so, saying he would rest there in the
store. However, about half-past 2
he did go to a hotel and went to
room.

house thought he heard a pistol shot
about 8 o'clock. Mr.. Winters went
up to the window of the room occu-
pied by Mr.. Jenkins and saw him ly-

Kidney Troubles Attack Bamberg
Men and Women, Old and Young.

Kidney ills seize young and old.
Come quickly with little warning.
Children suffer in their early
years
Can't control the kidney secre-
tions.
Girls are languid, nervous, suffer
pain.
Women worry, can't do daily work.
Men have lame and aching backs.
The cure for man, woman or child
Is to cure the cause.-The kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills reach the
cause.
Bamberg testimony proves it.
Mrs. J.. c. Folk, Jr., Carlisle St.,
Bamberg, S. c., says: Il heartily
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills,
for they have been very beneficial to
US. One of the younger members of
my family was troubled by a lame
and aching back and could not con-
troll the kidney secretions at night.
I finally got box of Doan's Kidney
Pills from the Peoples Drug Co. and
they brought entire relief. This

Andrew G. Dibble Wins.

Orangeburg, April 6.-With only
three small precincts to be heard
from it seems practically certain that
Andrew G. Dibble was elected pro-
bate Judge here to-day to succeed
Judge Copes, who was recently ele-
vated to the circuit bench.
The election passed off very quiet
ly and the vote was light. So far
as heard from the vote stands: Dib-
BILE, $50; Sturkie, 400, Friday, 1872.
It is not thought that the returns
from the three missing precincts will
change the standing of the candi-
dates materially.

HEARING IN STRIPPING CASE.
Georgia Prison Commission Consid-
ering Matter of Pardon.

Atlanta, April 6.-All the evil
dence, af1idavits, petitions and let
ters involved in the application for
pardon filed by Thomas E. Stripping,
former chief of police of Danville,
Va, and recaptured recently on a
charge of murder, for which he was
sentenced to a life term IA years
ago, now are in the hands of the
State prison commission. Arguments
in the case were ended tonight. It
probably will be several days before
a recommendation to the governor is
decided upon.
Stripping killed w. J. Cornett, in
Harris county, Georgia, IA years ago,
was sentenced to a prison term and
escaped while being taken to his cell.
He went to Danville, Va, where he
was known as Morris, Joined the po-
lice force of that city and afterwards
became chief. Many thousand per-
sons in this State and Virginia have
petitioned the governor to pardon
Stripping, on the grounds of his good
conduct since escaping. The rela-
tives of Cornett, however, have con-
tested his release, engaged attorneys
to appear before the prison board.
Stripping is in jail in Harris county.
Stripping pleaded the "unwritten
law" claiming that he killed Cornett
in defence of his home. Sworn state
ments that Cornett had insulted
Stripling's sister were presented to
the commission.

Salt and Tohacco.

Many smokers have adulterated their own tobacco. Parr sprinkled his pipe full with salt to make it last longer. And it does. Parr, one of the most leisurely of smokers and longest of livers, made his salted pipe last an hour. There is a faint cracking as the salt burns. but no difference in the taste. And it was Lamb who, dis daining adulterants, sat opposite and smoked ill furious clouds. When Parr asked gently how be had attained this fierce dexterity the reply was charac- te.istca fly Lambs, "By-by t-toiling .sf.er it, ir."-London Standard.

The very acme of ease is reached in stairs that hlve treads twelve to if teen inches broad and risers five to seven inches high. The run or dis tance in most houses is too short to allow of this. but they should come as near 1t as the architect of the house will permit.

UNION LEADERS OFF

Recognize Union Strike
Call Is Expected.
iNational News Association)

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-An order for
the beginning of the great strike of
employees on Western railroads is ex-
pected at any time today as a result
of the flat refusal of the. Illinois Gen.
trail officials to hold further confer
ence with union leaders.
The Illinois Central heads declared
positively that they would not consid-
er recognizing the new Federation of
Shopmen and would not grant any OF
their demands because compliance
would take from the officers OF the
road the power to manage their own
affairs" .-rs a
A meeting Of the Union leaders is
being held today and the question of
a strike is up for discussion. A more
belligerent attitude is evident among
the Unions and it was semiofficially
announced that $50 strike notices al
ready have been prepared.
In letter, President Markham sets
forth the reasons of the railroad fol
refusing the demands of the employees
He said that the interests of the ship
ping and travelling public and 10000
shareholders will not permit the road
to enter into negotiations, compliance
with the initial demands of which
would deprive the company of the
right to manage it's own affairs.

Pneumonia and Is TAX
en- to the Hospital.

er, for whom music lovers of the city,
as a token of appreciation for the life
work of Mr.. Clark, are planning q
musicale to be held in the coliseum on
the evening of Friday. September is.
was removed to Reid Memorial hos
pital on Tuesday morning. He has
contracted double pneumonia and his
heart action is causing the attending
condition of his lungs.
He seems to be in serious II not
a critical condition, which is only en-
phasized by reason of his advanced
age. He is an octogenarian. A week
ago today he attended the chautauqua
assembly and there it is thought he
contracted the disease. On last Sat
urday his physician was called and
since has been doing all in his power
to give relief, but the medicine has
acted very slowly. On Tuesday morn
ing it was deemed best to take him
to Reid Memorial hospital where he
may receive better attention than at
his rooms on South Fifth street where
he lived alone.
Though those who are proomting
the musicale deeply regretted to learn
of his serious illness, they have not
as yet called the event of 1t is prob
able that it will not, be. although this
point remains to be determined from
future developments. They sincerely
hope that they will be able to carry
out the plans for the benefit. The pro-
gram probably will be announced this
week unless circumstances prevent.

Total balance .$137, ,79S. IS
In the four mouths remaining of
this calendar year these funds, with
the exception of the bridge sinking
fund which cannot be used for any
purpose save that for which it is de-
signed, will naturally be decreased.
but the shrinkage will be Offset to a
very great degree by the receipts from
the next installment of taxes, due and
payable on or before the first Mon
day in November. Wayne county's
financial condition is certainly good,
much better than great many coun-
ties in the state and this with a COM
paratively low county rate. There is
opportunity at this time for the coun-
Gil to make further reduction in the
tax levy without fear of Gripping the
financial condition of the county and
with assurance that adequate bal
ances in all funds may be maintained.
OF the total estimated expenditures
for next year. approximating $780,
900 very closely, $4,000 will be used
for the payment of court house bonds
of $25, 900 due December /, 1912, and
