EFFICIENCY
THAT'S THE THING
How Many Men Know How
to Keep it at Par

Thousands-yes, tens OF thousands-oi
men grow old 10 years too soon.
The daily duties OF business grow ardu.
Gus early, and evening finds them tired
mentally and physically.
The stomach is mostly responsible; the
man who keeps his stomach in first-class
shape will keep his mental efficiency and
mis- physical efficiency 10 years longer than
the man who does not.
Lack Of efficiency means lack OF pure
blood. and lack of pure blood means that
the stomach is not supplying the blood
with enough nourishment-
And If the stomach does not supply the
blood with enough ncurishment some
thing IS wrong with the stomach and
should be righted-
If YOU realize that your efficiency IS on
the wanc, and that YOU arc losing money
and happiness in consequence, get a soc
box of Mi-o-na stomach tablets to-day
and take two after or with each meal Tor

Robbery Last Week.

Wednesday night of last week the
store of the Bamberg Furniture &
Hardware Company in this city was
broken into and robbed of about
500 worth of goods, among the ar
ticles taken being fine shot gun,
knives, razors, and the like. The
thieves made their entrance through
a rear window but went out the back
door,
The next afternoon a telephone
message was received from Aiken
saying one of the robbers had been
captured there, he being arrested by
Mr.. H. w. Kearsey, game warden,
who found the negro, John Green,
in company with two other negroes:
However. he only arrested Green,
who carried the shot gun taken from
the store here. Green has been
brought to Bamberg and lodged in
Jail. His story is that he did not
assist in the robbery, but came to
Bamberg with the other two negroes
Wednesday night That they walk
ed to Denmark and took the early
Coast Line train to Augusta, where
they pawned watch taken from the
store, and were back in Aiken coun-
ty when arrested by Mr.. Kearsey.
He says the other two negroes are
the ones who did the stealing. No
doubt all are guilty, and Mr.. John
Cooner, secretary and treasurer of
the hardware company, has offered a
reward of s25 each for the capture
of the other two negroes. Green says
there is a regular gang of negroes
organized for robbing in this section,
and that the two negroes wanted be-
long to it.

STAY ON YOUR FEET
Taking Calomel Means Staying Home
for the Day-Take Dodson's Liver
Tone and Save a Days Work.

If an attack of constipation or bill
iousness hits you, there's no need to
take a dose of calomel and spend at
least day getting over the effects
of it. Peoples Drug Store sells the
liver tonic, Dodson's Liver Tone, that
takes the place of calomel and starts
a lazy liver without any bad after
effects.
Dodson's Liver Tone does all the
good that calomel ever did, yet it 1s
absolutely harmless to young people
and old. 1t is pleasant-tastlng veg
etable liquid that will relieve consti-
patton or sour stomach or other
troubles that go along with a lazy
liver, without restriction of habit or
diet. You don't leave off any of the
things you regularly do when you
take Dodson's Liver Tone.
Peoples Drug Store sells Dodson' s
Liver Tone and give it strong per-
sonal guarantee. They say, "A large
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone sells
for so cents, and we will hand any
person back his so cents if he tries a
bottle and doesn't say that it does all
that calomel ever does and does it
pleasantly. Get the genuine Dod-
sons Liver Tone and if you are not
pleased with it We will give you your
money back with a smile"

SENDS BULLET INTO HEART.
Annie Allen, IA Years Old, Commits
Suicide at Greenville.

Greenville, Jan. 27.-Annie Allen,
the pretty 14-year-old daughter of
Walter Allen, ex-convict, committed
suicide to-day by shooting herself in
the heart with 32-calibre revolver.
Only one bullet was fired, and this
caused instantaneous death of the
young girl. No note or message was
left by the girl. The suicide lived
with her father and mother in the
suburbs and the deed was commit
ted in a woodshed near the cottage.
Walter Allen, the father of the
girl, was convicted some years ago
of the murder OF Henry Tramwell,
a mountaineer, and was sentenced to
a life term in the penitentiary. He
later escaped, but repented of break
ing prison, returned after a few
weeks of liberty and told the prison
warden that he had come to spend
the rest of his days. About two
years ago he was found to have tu-
berculosis and was pardoned.

A few minutes later, when the res

His right foot was burned to crisp.
AS darkness fell electric lights
were strung across the ruins.
Assistance came quickly from near
by towns and from all parts of the
State came offers of aid. In spite OF
the immense crowds, the scene was
almost silent. Men talked in Whls-
pers. At the temporary morgues
only those looking for bodies were
admitted.
The whole town appeared crushed.
Men who had narrow escapes from
death spoke of them briefly. There
is nothing to tell,'' they said.
Vernie Graves, the first to escape,
and who is probably the least injur-
ed. said he heard the wall crack,
looked and saw it falling. A moment
later he remembers that he plunged
into the street, filled with clouds OF
dust.

OLDEST MILLIONAIRE DEAD.
Amputates Feet and Gives Them
Funeral to Provide Sensation.

Moscow, Jan. 26.-Balachef, ten
times a millionaire, is dead. He was
one of the few selfmade men of Rus
sia and either a philosopher or fool,
or both. Before he was crippled by
the gout he often amused himself by
crawling into the dog house in his
yard and snarling at passers-by. Ere
quently he hired every public con-
veyance in town, just previous to the
theater hour, and amused himself
watching people tramp through the
mud when they had money to ride.
All begging letters and all PROPOSE
tions for impossible business schemes
he got he printed once a year and
distributed in book form. Any news
paper, magazine or other publication
could obtain his life subscription by
prefxing title to his name on the
wrapper.
His feet had to be amputated and
he gave them fine funeral, erecting
a monument over his late pedals. He
gave hundreds of thousands to char
ity, and frequently worked himself
into a fit when overcharged copper
or two.
His last will provided that he be
buried in rough pine box, without
benefit of the clergy, the coffin to be
carried to the cemetery on tinker's
cart. But a large orchestra was to
follow the cart, sixty pieces, and each
musician was to get hundred rou-
bles and enough money to get glo-
riously drunk on.
1t will remain undecided whether
the curious old man was a philoso-
pher or fool. Tolstoi, who CORE
sponded with him, took him for a
philosopher.

FOUND WOMAN AND BABY DEAD
But Fugitive Had Escaped While
Posse Stormed House.

Winnipeg, Man., Jan. PIN a
fight between a sheriff's posse and
John Baran, an outlaw, at the lat
ter's home, near Riding Mountain to-
day, a woman and child were shot to
death by officers. Baran escaped.
The posse had gone to the cabin
determined to capture Baran for
shooting Charles Rookie, of the Mani
toba police. Rookie had attempted
to arrest Baran on warrant charg-
ing him with wife desertion. When
the posse appeared at the cabin
Baran opened fire. Bullets were re-
turned by the posse. Suddenly the
firing ceased. Believing the outlaw
had exhausted his ammunition, the
posse stormed the house.
The prisoner had fled. Lying on
the floor was the body of woman
with whom Baran is said to have
been living. Clasped in her arms
was the body of an infant. Both
were the victims of the posses bull
lets.
