Last Saturday Mack Banks shot
and painfully wounded VIII Turner
at his home In the Keowee River
section of Oconee. Banks used

with small shot, inflicting q painful,
but 1t Is thought not serious wound.
1t is stated that Turner's leg is badly
lacerated, and he has suffered no lit
tie from the wound.
Mack Banks was brought to jail
Sunday and lodged therein to await
developments.
1t Is understood that the shooting
took place as a result Of disagree
ment over tn" sum OF $3.50. 1t is
stated that Banks was leaving the
employ Of Turner and "sked the lat
er for the amount due him for wages,
and that Turner simply replied that
he would pay him when he had car
ried out his contract. Some time
later Banks went to Turner'S house
and without warning fired the shot
that resulted in simultaneous call
for doctor and the sheriff.
Reports from Mr.. Turner are TO
the effect that he is getting along all
right, and no complications are en-
pectcd, though the wounded limb is
in most uncomfortable condition.

DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.
Quite Number In Oconee Havc Re-
Gently Been Affected.

F. w. HarbOrt, who lives short
distance above Walhalla, has called
the attention Of The Courier to the
prevalence Of disease among cattle,
from which many have been seri-
ously sick and some have died. The
disease Is indicated first by the cat
ties eyes becoming badly blood-shot.
This Is followed by sores in and
around the mouth, then stiffness
and swelling OF joints and limbs,
finally ending in generally disorder
ed and congested condition Of bowels
and intestines.
Quite large number Of the cat
tie In the section above Walhalla
have been attacked by the disease,
which is said to originate from the
growth has appeared near the
ground, and possibly also through
the gathering in Of portions OF toad
stools that have sprung up every
whore during the long-continued
rainy weather. Mr. lIarbort's cattle
were attacked, and he appealed at
once to Clemson authorities for a
remedy, which was promptly sent
him and is very simple. Mr.. IIar-
bort used 1t as soon as received, and
his cattle began to improve at once.
The prescription and directions are
given below:
Use a solution composed Of 9S
parts water and two parts creoline,
the solution being used as mouth
wash twice daily. An applica don Of
boracic acid powder after the mouth
wash will give good results. The
creoline wash should also be applied
| to the feet, followed by the use Of
carbolated vasellne.
One ounce Of creoline to a gallon
of water gives the proper solution.
The boracic acid can be applied as a
solution also, the proportion being
one ounce boracic acid to a pint of
water.
This as will be seen is n very sim
pie remedy, but 1t seems to be quite
as effective as it Is simple The pre-
scription, we are informed, can be
gotten at any drug store, the price
for same being about 25c.
Reports from other sections Of the
State rs to the appearance OF this
disease are numerous, and the re.
suits obtained from the use Of this
prescription have proven .s entirely
| satisfactory.

JOHN n. BLECKLEY IS DEAD.
Passed Away Tuesday--Desperate
Ill for Several Days.
(Andaraon Mail oOtb\

This afternoon the Daily Mail car
ries to it's readers the sad news Of
the death Of John N. Bleckley. He
had been extremely Ill since Saturday
last, but hope was not abandoned un-
til Monday night. Mr.. Bleckley was
one Of the most widely known and
most generally useful men Of the
county, and his death will bring sor-
row to many hearts.
Mr.. Bleckley's illness commenced
week ago last Friday. He had just
returned from Lake Toxaway, and
complained of feeling very sick. Dr.
B. A. Henry found that he had the
aching and chilly sensations Of a
genuine case of grip with bilious
complications.
The patient failed to respond to
the treatment and the fever contin-
ued, his whole nervous system being
involved. DR.. Henry called into con-
sultation some Of the other physi-
clans Of the city and tried in vain
to locate a specialist in Columbia. 1t
was seen several days ago that Mr..
Bleckley's condition was very grave
indeed, and Monday night he lapsed
into a comatose condition, from
which he never rallied.
Mr.. Bleckley had large and varied
business interests, having been cash
Ter of the Peoples Bank and inter-
ested In oil mills and farming enter
Drlses. He was native Of Georgia
and was about IS years old. He had
lived in Anderson 20 years.
The announcement Of Mr.. Bleck-
ley's death will bring deep sorrow to
many friends in Oconee and else
where In the upper section Of the
State, where he was well known. He
was a nephew of Mrs. e. A. Bell, of
