JUSTICES BULLET HITS LADY.
Row in Spartanburg Over Drought Ell
fectS Terminates Seriously.

Spartanburg, S. c., Aug. 18.-Thomp-
son & billiards. store, on Morgan
square, one of the largest in the city,
was the scene this afternoon of fight
between Magistrate T. o. Fowler, Of
Reidville, and Robert G. Gibbs, a far
mer of Switzer, in the course Of which,
after the men had battered each 9th
ers' faces with their fists and been
separated, Magistrate Fowler drew a
revolver and fired four times, missing
Gibbs, but wounding Mrs. Jones F.
Thompson, saleslady, and breaking
a showcase and a plate glass window.
The quarrel started in an argument
over the effect of the drought on the
crops. Mrs. Thompson had a narrow
escape. The bullet struck her IN the
breast, but was DETECTED from its
course by a corset stay and inflicted
only a flesh wound. The nervous
shock is more serious than the injury.
Both men wer arrested by the police,
but released under bond. Fowler was
then rearrested on a warrant sWor1
out by Gibbs, charging assault and bat
terry with intent to kill. He waived
a preliminary Investigation and gave
bond for trial at the general sessions
court. Fowlec's excuse for the SHOOT
lsg is self-defence. Gibbs admits he
drew knife, Dut says he did not do
so until Fowler produced the revolver.

Crowd Storms JAIL Takes Alleged In
suli ier Of Young Woman.

= AbbevilAe, Aug. 18-Bob Davis, col
red, haG a narrow escape from lynch
kng, at(the hands Of mob here to-
yhight, ks the result Of an alleged in
|sult 2hd improper proposal made to a
young lady from the cotton mill VII
|lage{
: Gstead of lynching the negro, after
ing him from the jail, he was sub
scfed to other punishment. He is said
Ito have confessed his guilt.
The facts in the case, as understood
here, are as follows:
About 2 o'clock today young lady,
am the cotton mill village, was on
way uptown, when she was &C
ed by a negro man and grossly
Einsulted. An improper proposal was
made and the negro made an Indecent
kexposure of his person in her pres
Ence. She ran and reported the mat
Ter to her father and the hunt began.
Davis was finally arrested, charged
18th being the guilty party, and lodged
IN jail. While he was not fully identl-
fed, little doubt was felt that he was
the guilty party. It developed during
the investigation that he had been an
noying two other ladies recently. The
crowd which gathered was already ex-
cited, and this increased the excite
meat.
About 9 o'clock tonight a large
crowd, armed with guns, congregated
on the public square, but it was not
thought that any attempt would be
made to storm the Jail. However, at
about 1890 o'clock the crowd stormed
the Jail, broke in the outer door, two
inner doors, broke in the cell where
the prisoner was and took him from
the Jail. He was taken out of town,
and in about one-half hour volley Of
shots was fired, Indicating THAT the
negro had been lynched. This proved
: mot to be the case, however. Sheriff
Lyon is absent in Columbia. The city
police and other officers did what they
Acould to- protect the prisoner, but to
avail.

however, that quite a considerable
quantity of the stuff which has been
shipped here in the past two or three
days has been held on the sidings with
out unloading, until the results OF the
analyses can be had. Commissioner
Watson and a number Of the whole
sale merchants of the city are waiting
upon the results of the analyses be-
fore taking definite action.
The report of the special inspector,
who left Thursday morning to look
into the source Of this corn supply at
the manufacturing plants, is expected
probably Saturday. All these manu-
facturers whose goods have been
found to be impure, so far, are of 9TH
er States, but the sale of such matter
being a violation of the federal laws,
Commissioner Watson will be able,
should he decide to DO SO, to bring
very unpleasant prosecution against
them.
One Manufacturer Promises.
Commissioner Watson was Thurs
day afternoon and night in conference
with one of these manufacturers, VINO
came here for that purpose Immediate
ly upon hearing of the chemists re-
ports on the corn meal. This manu-
facturer is one who supplies a large
part of the South Carolina trad III
corn products. It is s:ated that he has
made a promise tc establish at as
mill, Laboratories, etc., sufficient to
make tests to find out if the corn he
uses is up to the standard, and left
Thursday night to begin steps in that
direction Friday morning.

COOPERATIVE LAUNDRIES
FOR WOMEN ON THE FARMS

The Northwest Agriculturist is
paper which has INDUCED in hob
by, and that hobby was cooperative
laundries.
1--WE proved that by an invest
ment of $40 per family in the equip
ment of a modern steam laundry
alongside of each cooperative cream
cry, all the farm laundry Except
the finishing of white collars and
cuffs and fine laces) can be done
at an average expense per family OF
only So or $40 a year.
The same paper continues: "Our
figures were authoritative and indus
putable. They convinced farmers,
but at least part of the reason why
no such laundry has been started
anywhere is that So many farm wo-
men prefer to have the washing
done Just So It is also some what
curious to note the grounds of the
opposition to these cooperative farm
laundries; opposition came largely
from the conservatism of the women
some good, sensible farm women
who were sure the steam would rot
the clothes or the drier would tear
the buttons off, and so they have
bowed with the weight of centuries
over their washboards and ironing
boards for another 1O4 long weary
days since We showed them the way
out. They have bent their backs a
year-and earned about cents a
day by doing so, for it takes an
average of two days a week to do
the washing and ironing"

FREE If IT FAILS.
Your Money Back If You are not
Satisfied with the Medicine We
Recommend.

We are so positive that our rem
edy will permanently relieve consti-
patton, no matter how chronic it ma
be, that we offer to furnish the meu'
icine at our expense should it fail
to produce satisfactory results.
1t is worse than usless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause reaction.
irritate, and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic. Besides, their use becomes
a habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of
the large intestine or descending
colon. To expect permanent relief
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our recommendation. They
are exceedingly pleasant to take, be-
ing eaten like candy, and are ideal
for children, delicate persons, and
old folks, as we'll as for the robust.
They act directly on the nerves and
muscles of the bowels. They ap-
parently have a neutral action on
other associate organs or glands.
They do not purge, cause excessive
looseness, nor create any inconven-
ience whatever. They may be Ia
ken at any time, day or night. They
will positively relieve chronic or
habitual constipation, if not of sur
gical variety, and the myriads of
associate or dependent chronic all
ments, if taken with regularity for
a reasonable length of time. IL

i'll the shops of the Great Northern,
and will soon be ready for the ex-
hib;ts.
Each state in the northwest will
have the privilege of installing an
exhibit, and sending two representa-
tives On the train. The governor of
each state will be invited to make
the trip at the expense of the devel-
opment associations, and the east
err governors will be on the train
while it is within their states, and
President Taft publicly signified his
intention of making an official call
On the party while in Washington.
The cost of the movement is to
be distributed as follows: Partici-
pating states,each, $1,000; Panma-
company, $4,000; Great Northern

ton to the approximate value of
$4,000.
Above the $1,000 paid to the gen

sentatives and of installing exhibits,
thus bringing the total up to about
$4,000.
Public receptions have already
been arranged in many large cities
and the general public everywhere
is showing a wonderful amount of
interest. THE Governors Special
will convey the Vests greetings to
the east and attract to this, portion
OF the United States the attention of

holding In Bunsen fame a platinum
wire moistened by contact with the

salt swallowed a few minutes pre-
viously can be detected with the spec
