Medlock's Pharmacy.

The following complimentary no
tice was recently made in The Atlanta
Georgian about an up-to-date store
being run by two Laurens county
boys:
This was formerly Wilkes old
pharmacy. Bought out about three
years ago by Or. w. A. Medlock. With
the advantage of an already estab-
lished prestige. DIR. Medlock has built
up a splendid custom and has added
to his already well known reputation
for vcracity and thoroughly under
standing his business. Additions in
the rear are being made to the main
store; also very handsome soda
fount will be installed.
j. E. Medlock, the Doctors brother,
is associated with him. No expense is
being spared to make 1t one of the
most up-to-date pharmacies in Allan
ia.
DIR. Medlock was born in Laurens, s.
c., in 1874. If there is one state on
earth that prides itself in birth,
breeding and social family distinction
1t is South Carolina. DR.. Medlock
graduated from the Atlanta College OF
Pharmacy. He is a member of the
Episcopal church.

This case has attracted great deal
Of attention here because of the fact
that the suspected negro worked on
tn farm of Mr.. j. F. Hicks, few miles
from this city, for a few weeks about
the time Of the murder in question. His
guilt OF Innocence hinged largely on
the question whether he was here or

TOHONOR MEMORY
OF HEROIC NURSE
Her Picture to Be Presented to
German Hospital
School.

Miss Clara L.. Mass, a heroic
Spanish-American war nurse, who
died a voluntary victim of a test to
determine whether mosquitoes car
ried the yellow fever germ, will be
honored by the Alumni Association
of the German Hospital tomorrow
evening.
When yellow fever was ravagine
Cuba eleven years ago the govern
ment physicians at the hospital OF
Las Animas, Havana, Cuba, were at
their wits end to find the cause OF
the disease. One of them suggested
the mosquito, and 1t was decided to
make tests.
Volunteers were called for. If the
cause Of the dread disease could be
discovered it would mean the saving
of thousands of lives in Cuba, but the
volunteers were warned that they
were taking thier lives in their own
hands.
Submitted to Mosquito Bite.
Miss Mass allowed herself to be
bitten by one of the malarial
mosquitoes. For her the test proved
fatal, and she died of yellow fever in
August, 1901.
She served not only in Cuba during
the Spanish-American war, but she
had been a nurse in the Philippine
Islands during the Filipino insurrec-
ton before being transferred back
again to the post where she died.
Full military honors were rendered
her by the government. Her body
was brought to Newark and buried
in the Paramount Cemetery.
In memory of her hero.sm a large
picture of her will be presented to
the training school for nurses of the
German Hospital, where she was a
nurse before the war.
Miss Mary Motzenbeeker, president
of the association, will make the
presentation, in behalf of the alumni.
DR.. Edward S~taehlin, of the hospital
staff, and the Rev. Mosheim S.
Waters, pastor of the Grace English
Lutheran Church, will speak.
