ing to 5000 or more have been re-

ed $4,000 to pay such deficiency

law authorizing bounty it is believed
that some day the deficiency claims
will cease to come in and that no more

One Last, Simple Request.

Camden, Feb. 12.-John Wilson,
the negro charged with stealing a
horse from Mr.. T. G. Sessions, of
Blaney, some time ago has been SEN
fenced to the gang for 80 days for
vagrancy. He will be tried by the
circuit court the latter part of March
for horse stealing. Supervisor West
took him to Kershaw few days ago,
where the chain gang is located un-
der Superintendent Henry Mum.
When the train reached DeKalb, on
the way to Kcrshaw, Mr.. West got
up to look out the back door. AS
he turned to look at his prisoner, he
saw the negro advancing upon him
with a large spittoon. The negro
dropped the spittoon when Mr.. West
faced him. He attempted to get hold
of rifle when he reached the chain
gang, but Mr.. Mum was too quick
for him.
The negro refused to let Chief
Halle put handouts on him when
first arrested, until NE could make
and light cigarette.

Two Banks for SmOaks.

Smoaks, Feb. 6.-The meeting held
Friday to organize the Smoaks
Banking Company was very success
full. Books of subscription to the
capital stock were opened at the
store of Smoak, Carter and Maxcy
and in a few minutes the majority of
the stock was subscribed. The
stockholders Immediately held a
meeting to elect officers, resulting as
follows: Jno. E. Smoak, president;
F. J. Berry, vice president; G. A.
Thomas, cashier; I. A. Sauls, secre-
tary and treasurer. Jno. E. Smoak,
F. J. Berry, P. W. Thomas, G. A.
Thomas and DR.. H. NJ. Carter were
elected directors. The capital stock
of the bank is $4,000, and it will
probably begin business at very
early date. 1t is thought that the
bank will not await new building
before beginning business.
The stockholders of this bank are
among the most substantial business
men and citizens of the community,
which fact insures it's success.
The Bank of Hampton has about
completed it's branch bank at this
place, and will be ready to open
business in the near future.

Small Change.

At the recent dinner given by An
drew Carnegie, an eminent lawyer,
seated halfway down the table, was
deeply immersed in conversation
with his neighbor when the host
opened up the subject of the British
coinage system and showed signs of
wishing undivided attention.
EVERY other civilized nation," he
declared, "has the decimal system,
while England adheres to the absurd
and cumbrous table of pounds, shill-
ings and pence" Rap-rap-rap.
The raps were for the lawyer, who
remained absorbed in his own con-
versation. "And even farthings," "
continued the iron-master. "Is there
anything else in finance so ridiculous
as the farthing?" Rap-rap.
The lawyer glanced around some
what impatiently.
Judge c." Mr.. Carnegie call
ed out, why do the British continue
their coinage of farthings?"
''To enable the Scotch to practice
benevolence, Mr.. Carnegie" return
ed the lawyer.-Success Magazine.

Gas Carries Death.

Philadelphia, Feb. 12. - Seven
members of one family, the father
Edward Bodarwitz, the mother and
five children were killed by illumin-
ating gas in their home in the Ghet-

When the bodies were discovered
in the gas filled room by neighbors
the father lay fully dressed on one
bed with the little boys while the
mother and three girls were in an
other bed in the same room. The
gas was escaping from a tube which
connected a gas stove on the first
floor where are the kitchen and liv-
ing rooms. The father was seen by
neighbors coming home about 1
o'clock this morning and it is sup
posed he accidentally stumbled
against the tube pulling it away from
the fixtures on the wall. .'.>

WOMAN KEEPS DEATH COMPACT
Kills Son and Self Following Death
of Husband.

Oxford, Me-, Feb. 12.-In fulfil
ment of a compact, made with her
husband during his lingering illness,
which death ended yesterday, Mrs.
Lynwood S. Keene, took her own
life to-day, after having fatally shot
her 14-year-old son, Gerald.
The compact dated about month
back, was found by the coroner IN
sealed envelope in the woman's S
room.
Keene once was a prosperous
farmer, but according to the COM
pact, the family had become impov-
erished and discouraged during his
long sickness. He was 38 years old
and his wife year or two younger.
The document recited briefly the
family troubles, the result of Mr..
Keene's illness. In it his death was
predicted, and it was stated that, as
both the parents thought it was
wrong to have their son remain in
the world to suffer the troubles they
had experienced, Mrs. Keene bound
herself to "do away" in the words
of the compact, with herself and
their son, Gerald, as soon as possible
after the death of the husband and
father.
Friends of the family, who were in
the house to-day assisting in prepar-
ing the body of Mr.. Keene for buri-
al, heard shots fired upstairs They
found the boy in bed with a bullet
wound in the right temple. The door
of Mrs. Keene's room was broken in
and her body was found stretched on
the bed She placed the revolver
muzzle to her mouth and fired, death
probably being instantaneous. In
letters to relatives the husband and
wife asked to be buried in double
casket and that their sons coffin and
theirs be placed in the same box for
final interment. The funeral will be
held here next Wednesday.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500
grains Of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, gout, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But If you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
Mrs. Samuel Harrison, Church St.,
Bamberg, S. c., says: II have used
Doan's Kidney Pills and they have
been very beneficial. My kidneys
annoyed me and I suffered intensely
from backache and pains through my
lions. Doan'a Kidney Pills, which I
got from the Peoples Drug Co., re-
lieved these difficulties and improved
my condition wonderfully. You are
at liberty to use my name as a ref
crence."

Negress Dies of Her Wounds.

Saluda, Feb. 1.-THE negro wo-
man, Matte Lee, who was shot and
fatally wounded Sunday afternoon
on L. C. Grice's place, near Wards,
this county, by Ed Lott, negro,
died Thursday.
An inquisition was held by Magis-
trate Ramey. Lott, after shooting
the woman, turned the weapon upon
himself and fired a bullet into his
own body just above the region OF
the heart. He is not expected to
live. Both negroes lived on Mr..
Grice's place and the Lee woman
was on her way from Mr.. Grice's
house to her own home and after
passing by where Lott lived was fol-
lowed by him. At point midway
between the two negro houses Lott
overlook her and for some cause un-
known fired upon her. She ran
some distance and Lott turned out
into the woods and shot himself.
