For many years the miraculous cross
(which was alleged to have saved
King David's life by interposing itself
between him and an Infatuated white

virtue. however, was tested In l3%e
at the battle Of Dunbar. The test
proved too much for the cross. which
fell into the hands Of the enemy. who
paid It the respect Of housing It In the

MURDER MYSTERY SOLVED.
Prisoners Confession Explains the
Death of Two Bartenders.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 23.-Frank
Smith, a negro, to-day confessed to
the police that he killed Frank Fox
all and Phillip Lepher, white men,
near the State fair grounds the even
ing of October 2 last. The negro was
arrested in Louisville, KY, and re-
turned to this city this morning.
Smith in his confession said the
white men first called him names and
then hit him with stones before he
began shooting at them.
Foxall and Lepher, bartenders,
were killed after a holiday with two
women. One of the women left the
scene before the murders, and the
others story of the negro was dis
credited by the police at first. The
girl said that the negro, after killing
the two men, assaulted her. This
the negro denied in his confession.

RUNDOWN PEOPLE

finement, a chronic cough or cold

no appetite, and after all that time
I am glad to say Vinol has brought

Wounded Himself.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 23.-Patrolman
Arnold shot himself this morning
without knowing it, being saved from
injury by thick manuscript in his
pocket, in precisely the same way
that the bullet fired at Col. Roosevelt
spent it's force.
Officer Arnold fired two shots at
close range at a mad-dog, which he
killed. Without his knowing it one
of the bullets was detected sharply
upward from the pavement, tearing
through the side of his coat and
lodging itself in a thick pocket-mem-
orandum that he carried there.
Being naturally more interested
in the mad dog at the time of the
shooting, he did not know about his
curious escape until he returned to
police headquarters and threw off his
coat, when the bullet tumbled out on
the floor.

from hell, l am thankful for it to-
day.
81 now have a better conception
of God and of man. With that fact
in view, realizing the cheapness of
life, can be of better service to God
and to man. 1 feel that if you will
give me another opportunity, after
pleading guilty to this charge. and
let me have another chance, l can
be of more service to God than ever
before. I feel that I can live life
of sublime service and conservation
to God. AS dark as it may seem, as
disgusting as it may seem to you, as
hellish as it appears, I feel that in
the depths of my heart I can go for
ward in better service, and I make
this plea to you.
What is life? 1t is very small
thing. 1t is a very short time here
and 1 do not regard it as much. So
far as my suffering it would soon be
over and I would be dead. Then it
is a matter of eternity. But my pres
ent plea is that have sinned, that
have suffered the tortures of the
damned, that if I am given another
opportunity, that the hold now have
on God, with the strength of the new
faith I have in Him from out of this
awful sin, / believe that I can go
out into the dives of sin in this State
and be of service to my State and
my God in reclaiming the evil-doers,
in saving the State great expense and
in redeeming them of their crimes
and sin.
81 believe truly that l can be of
great service to my God and my fel-
low man. 1 love my life, it is true,
but 1 simply feel that in view of this
new conception, life is very small
matter. Life is not eternal; it is a
mere temporary existence. That
which comes from God, to God must
return. So far as death is concerned
it is very small; it is the greater
something which comes after"
In closing his confession Vaughn
made a. plea that he be allowed to
live in order to prove to his wife that
he could reform and be a good man.

LONG is RELEASED.
WAGNER Man Furnishes Bond in the
Sum Of $4,000.

Aiken, Oct. 26.-Hugh Long, may
or of Wagner, charged with the
murder of Pickens N. Gunter, presi-
dent of the Bank of Wagner, was re-
leased from Jail yesterday, having
made his bond of $1,000. Mr.. Long
was brought back to Aiken the early
part of the week from Columbia,
having been carried to the State pen
itentiary for safekeeping short time
after the tragedy at Wagner when it
was persistently rumored that mob
was gathering at Wagner to come
here and wreak summary punish
ment upon him for shooting to death
Pickens Gunter. Mr.. Long expert
enced no difficulty in making his
bond. It is understood, however,
that he will not return to Wagner
before his trial, but that in the mean
while he will make Aiken his home.
Mrs. Long had already taken up her
residence here.
AS Mr.. Long has been elected to
the State legislature, and as the next
term of general sessions court will be
held in February of 1913, while the
legislature is in session, it is thought
very likely that Mr.. Long will not
stand trial until the June term of
court.

WHAT IS AN ARPENT OF
LAND?

Several weeks ago we publish.
ed an article in which the French
arpent and English acre were dis
cussed and compared and we said
that no man seemed to be able
to figure out exactly the differ
ence between them. We referred
to consultation with Mr., q. II.
Mcknight some years ago about
the matter, and he takes issue
with l1s as to his not knowing
them and now the amount in an
arpent. He sends us the follow
ing definition, which we publish
as matter of justification to him,
viz:
Arpent-290.9 links in length
equal to 63,998 yards. 1t is equal
10 1862 plus Of an acre. Our
courts recognize an arpent as
S5-1OO of an acre. .--Colfax Chron-

With dust piling inch deep on

therefrom Of some of the Main
street merchants who have had
the temerity to raise their voices
against this unnecessary and un-
sanitary evil, were not unexpect-
ed. But 1T is pleasing to say
their complaints did not fall upon
deaf ears. AT the first intima-
ton of trouble, the Mayor took
prompt action and instructed the
Street Commissioner, Mr.. Harry
Heller, to have a sprinkling wa
gon made at once, and it is graft

very short while the principal

WHAT TO DO WHEN SOME
BODY PAINTS.

DR.. Jean Williams, writing
"The Doctors Page" i'm ( the
September Woman's Home Com
panion, tells about Emergencies
and How to Meet Them. She
takes UP shock, hemorrhage, brok-
en- bones, sprains, commissions,
and so on.
II somebody faints this is what
to do:
If due to the effect of bad air
in q close room or the shock Of
hearing bad news, loosen the
clothing of the patient, sprinkle
cold water ON the face and chest,
put a cloth, wet in very cold wa
ter, at the back Of the neck, and
lay the patient down with the
head slightly lowered. If the vic
tim happens to be sitting upon a
chair, or has fallen back upon
one in an insensible condition.
grasp the back of the chair down
near the seat and tip it back slow
~, uni the head is well lowered
and the lower limbs elevated.
This treatment, and sufficient
fresh air, will, as a rule, restore
consciousness quickly. 1t may be
wise to administer a stirnuIant,
such as aromatic spirits of am
nsonia, if obtainable; twenty
drops in a tablespoonful of water
is dose which should be repeated
in ten minutes if necessary"

Iniects Ginger.

Concluding his remarks upon
the river, Mr.. Broussard began to
put some ginger into his speech
by referring in yelled way to
the manner in which an attempt
was being made 20 run the con-
vention. He said that from the
very first day he entered Louisi-
ana politics, during the anti-lot-
terry campaign, he had been en-
gagged in fight against combina-
tions of men, who attempted to
rude this Sta,e e. From that day
to this, he never had ceased to
fight comb nations, he said, and he
wanted the people to rule in Lou
isiana and not chosen few.
He did not come to Louisiana,
he said, to get the convention to
indorse anyone. He did not care
who was nom mated, so long as he
is Democrat and is friendly 10
the people of this State who are
now suffering from the dsvasta-
ton of the river. He did not,
however, want to see man elect
ed who would single out a great
industry of this State to sacrifice
ON the altar of his ambition. The
people of Louis ana, he said.
wanted TO select man who would
see that the sugar, rice and lum-
bar industries of this State were
given a square opportunity along
with the industries Of Massachus-
etts and California.
Whoever may be selected,
however, either by this or the
Baltimore convention" said Mr..
Boussard, Eve will abide by the
resrlt and bow to the wisdom
Of the majority.
"But, would it not be better for
lis to elect the delegates by dis.
tries" said Mr.. Brot J sard,
rather than ito have the ticket
framed up by some one in q
room somewhere.
He said he went all over the
State in the recent primary until
his tongue grew third and his
body weak, protesting against a
few men telling the people what
they should do in the conduct of
their affair and yet that was
what was practically being at
tempted at this convention. Con
cluding, he said he had spoken
his mind frankly. and had given

HOW TO CURE
BLOOD POISON

Contagious Blood Poison is a
uirulent germ, and like most other
bacterial organisms, is uery difficult
to kill or destroy within tie system.
It would therefore be useless to en-
deauor to cure the disease with some
strong medicine intended TO destroy
the disease blood cells and uiirus-
The proper way-the only way-is
to REMOVE the germs and poisons
from the blood by purifying the cir
culation. Thousands have cured
themselves of this powerful disease
by the use of S. S. S., the greatest
Of all vegetable blood purifiers.
This is a medicine of unquesfioned
ability in the treatment cf Conta-
2ious Blood Poison. For more than
forty years it has been prepared
and sold as a cure for this trou5'e,
and not only its efficacy, but the
fact that it does NOT contain a par
ficle of mineral, or other hormfnl
drug, should be an inducement to
any Contagious Blood Poison suffer-
er to begin its use. S. S. S. goes
right down into the circulation, and
removes every trace of the destructive
virus. 1t heals all sores, stops falling
hair, and by cleansing and enriching
the blood, soon clears the body OF
every symptom. Home Treatment
book and any medical advice free.
S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.
