TYLER Hill Shot While
Resisting Arrest.

Tyler Hill, negro, was shot by TO-
liceman Albert Taylor on Saturday
night while resisting arrest. Tne ball
entered the mouth and came out at
the back of the neck. Hill, who was
drinking heavily, had previously cut
Boyse Clay, another negro, intilctlng
a number of gashes, two of which
were in the chest. Hill ran and was
followed by Policeman Taylor and his
brother, Mr.. Charley Taylor. They
came upon Hill in a field near tie
Lutheran church. The negro made a
number of threats and as he was about
to draw a pistol, as the officer be-
lieved, Policeman Taylor drew his
own weapon and fired twice, the first
shot going wild.
Hill will recover. When sober he is
quiet and peaceable, but when under
the influence of liquor be is just the
opposite.

An Economical Icing.

This is famous French recipe; the
icing is like the filling of chocolate
creams, and will keep indefinitely; a
quantity, it IS claimed, can be made
aud put away in covered jars, to be
used when wanted. Boil without
stirring one cupful of sugar, one-third
cupful of water and one eighth tea
spoonful of cream tartar. When it
forms a soft disc when dropped in cold
water it is done. Let stand without
stirring until lukewarm, then add any
favoring liked and beat until smooth
and creamy. If cooked too long, 1T
will become grainy; too long stirring
has the same effect, and only expert
ence and Judgment will teach the right
time for cooking. For caramel lclng'
use one-fourth cup of water to one
cupful of brown sugar.

Question Cleared Up.
Lexington Readers Can No
Longer Doubt the Evidence.


Again and again we have read Of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or this or that medi-
cine. But Lexington's pertinent ques'
tion has always been "Has anyone
here in Lexington been cured?' The
word of a stanger living a hundred
miles away may be true, but it cannot
have the same weight with rs AS the
word of our own citizens, whom we
know and respect, and whose evidence
we can so easily prove.
Mrs. Myrtle Harling, Factory Hill,
Lexington, s. c., says; II can highly
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, for I
have observed the good results that
have followed their use. A member
of my family had kidney and bladder
trouble and his back ached intensely.
He used Doan's Kidney Pills and they
gave him immediate relief. We do not
think there is a better kidney medicine
to be had"
For sale by all dealers. Price 30
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,

KILLS BEST FRIEND
TAKING DEGREE.
Candidate for WOOdmen
Degree Shoots Team
Leader.

Anderson, July 27.-Mistaking that
part of the initiation where firearms
are flourished and blank cartridges
are exploded as meaning to do him
bodily harm, Fnrman Bagwell, ageo
Fl, candidate being initiated into
the mysteries Of the Woodmen OF the
World, rushed from the l,dge room
and snatched his pistol from his coat
hanging in the ante room, hurried
back into the lodge room and hred
three shots in rapid succession at Mil
ton Taylor, aged 26, who was leading
the degree team in the initiation.
The first shot hit Taylor in the abdo'
men, fearfully tearing the intestines.
The bullet hid itself IN the spinal col
ann, The second bullet hit Taylor on
she right hip and buried itself in the
hin bone. The last shot struck Taylor
On the back of the neck and glanced
off.
This occurred in the Friendship
Lodge room, three miles northeast OF
Honea Path last night. To-day Tay-
lor was brought to the Anderson Hos
pital and DIR. Sanders, the attending
physician, says tonight that his condl-
tion is extremely critical and that he
fears peritonitis will set in.
Taylor was able to tell of the $ boot
inq TODAY after he came from under
the influence of an anaesthetic. he
saws that he and Bagwell were warm
friends; that Bagwell became excited
md in the heat of excitement lost his
head and rushed for his pistol, evident
ly thinking that he (Taylor) meant to
do him serious bodily harm.
Bagwell is clerk in store at Hon.
ca Path and was at his post today.
He was married about two months
ago. Taylor's father said today that
prosecution of Bagwell depended on
whether or not his son survived the
wounds. It is not likely that he will
survive.

to my many friends who so enthusias-
tically advocated my candidacy Tor

ter the campaign and after the an
nouncement was undecided whether
or not to make the race, although l
received every encouragement from
friends all over the county. But l
have finally dec ded that inasmuch as
have been clicked By the creditors
one of the trustees in the bankrupt es-
tate of W. P. Roof, and it is now a
settled fact that this estate will have
to be wou d up by bankruptcy pro.
seedlings in the Federal court, deem
It m. duty first to give my time and
atter'rn to-this matter and perform
the trust already imposed> in me, by
the people as faithfully as I know
how.
Aud in withdrawing my name from
this race, wish to say to my oppo-
nents that had I stayed in, it was my
intention to conduct clean campaign,
free of mud-slinging and dirty cam
9aigning, and ask the suffrage Of the
people entirely upon my past record
and merits as man, and my personal
ability to conduct the Office.
Tony many friends, who SO Loyalty
encouraged and insisted upon me msk-
ing the race, wish to express my sin
cere appreciation, and should I decide
at any time in the future to enter pol
itics as candidate for this Or any
other Office, I will appreciate their
support and, in the meantime, I will
endeavor to show by my conduct in
private life that have deserved their
and confidence.
