IS JOHN huff CAPTURED
NEGRO BELIEVED To BE HIM
HELD IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Greenville, s. c., July 11-After
nearly 30 hours Of continual travel
ing, posse OF local policemen
brought into the station house yes
terday afternoon a negro who Is be-
lieved 10 be John Hun, who shot
PatroIman Mcconnell in AsheMlle
last Monday so seriously that he died
during the latter part Of the week.
The negro was captured about three
miles below Piedmont by Officers
Rector and Goldsmith. He was ex-
amined pretty thoroughly and suspi-
cion is so strong against him that the
officers feel justified in holding him
until further evidence can be Sc
cured.
Since the death OF Mcconnell a
large reward has been offered for the
capture of the negro. and, as II ID
generally believed that he is origi-
nally from this section OF South Car.
DINA and that he is at present In
this vicinity. a vigorous search has
been kept up by the officers here fol
the past several days in the hope Of
apprehending him.
The negro who was brought here
gave his name as Tom Long. HI
admits that be has recently been In
the Hendersonyille section, but de
mics having been In AsheviiIe.

HIS DEMOCRACY
IS QUESTIONED
Senator Simmons Under Fire In
Reciprocity Debate

Washington. July 11.--Senator
Simmons had his democracy sharply
called in question In the senate yes
terday during the course of his
speech in opposition to Canadian
reciprocity, and running fire of de-
bate ensued, which lasted for more
than an hour and was at times ex.
ceedingly sharp. The charge was
made that Senator Simmons. in vot-
ing for I per cent duty on lumber.
had done so IN violation of the last
national platform demand for free
lumber and in order to secure the
votes of the lumber barons" Of
North CAROLINA.
Senator Simmons replied that he
was against free lumber on principle
and had been relieved from the OBJ
legation of the national platform de-
mand, as had every other candidate
for congress in North. Carolina, by
the action ef the state democratic
executive committee. He told of a
letter to this effect, which. he said,
had been written and circulated for
the committee by Chairman Eller.
The debate was practically the
first debate in the present senatorial
contest, for the arguments used in
the recent speech OF Representative
Kitchin in the hous were quoted by
Senator Reed, OF Missouri. in oppos-
ing the views Of Senator Simmons.
The latter rallied sharply to the
defense of his position on the tariff
and Canadian reciprocity.
In the midst. of the calling fire
opened on him Mr.. simmons had the
active support OF Senator Bailey. of
Texas. while opposed to him in the
senate was Senator Kern, OF Indiana.
who ran on the last national demo-
cratic ticket With Mr.. Bryan. as well
as Senator's Reed and Stone, OF Mis-
souri,. and others.

THE DANGER OF
RHEUMATISM

The danger of Rheumatism IS
in temporizing in the treatment, or
failing to realize the powerful nature
of the trouble. If the blood is allowed
to remain infected with uric acid,
Rheumatism soon becomes chronic,
and then if rot checked it sometimes
makes complete physical wrecks OF
its victims by permanently stiffening
the joints and seriously interfering
with the bodily nerve force. Exter-
nal applications will often Temporal
rily relieve Rheumatic pains, but do
not reach the blood, where the cause
is located, and to depend entirely
upon such treatment is a very dan
gerous thing TO do. S. S. S. cures
Rheumatism by removing every par
ticle of the cause and purifying the
blood. 1t filters out of the circulation
every trace of the sour, inhainmatory
matter, cQols the acid-heated nerves,
causes a natural and healthy nourish-
ment through the blood to all
muscles, joints and bones, and per
fectly cures Rheumatism IL all its
forms. 8 S. S. 5. does this great work
because it IS the greatest of all blood
purifiers. acting directly on the
source of disease. Our special book

vice will sent free to all who write.
