Columbia, May 2.-Dave and Anna
Lewis, the two negroes suspected of
the murder of John Lewis, the aged
Chester county farmer, were brought
to the Penitentiary here for safe
keeping this morning. The late MIR.
Lewis was a wealthy and highly re-
spected planter of the Cornwell Sec
tion of Chester county and the arrest
of the two negroes charged with his
murder produced considerable excite
ment it is stated. The deputy sher-
if of Chester, to avoid any possible,

Hill last night and came from there
this morning to Columbia via Lam
caster and Camden, avoiding Ches-
ter en- route. The suspects are now
safe behind the Penitentiary bars.

STAY ON YOUR FEET.
Taking Calomel Means Staying Home
for the Day-Take Dodson's Liver
Tone and Save q 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 a 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 lazy
liver without any bad after effects.
Dodson's Liver Tone does all the
good that calomel ever did, yet it is
absolutely harmless to young people
and old. 1t is pleasant-tasting vege-
table liquid that will relive constipa-
ton or sour stomach or other troubles
that go along with lazy liver, with
out 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 sell Dodson's
Liver Tone and give it a 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
bottle and doesn't say that it does all
that calomel ever does and does 1t
pleasantly. Get the genuine Dodson's
Liver Tone and if you are not pleas
ed with it we will give your money
back with a SMILE

Interesting People Of Samoa.

The most interesting thing about
Samoa is not it's fair scenery and
tropic fora, but its people, who have
often been described as the most
noble race in the Pacific-simple,
honest affectionate, and above all,
hospitable. Judge Dwyre, of Pago-
Pago, who is visiting Sydney, stated
recently that al the natives were now
Christians and evinced very marked
devotion to their church, even though
they did not always adhere to its
tenets.
Taking them as a whole their con-
tributions to religious enterprises far
exceeded the Biblical tithe, and, with
the exception of the Mormons, whose
adherents were few, the missions in
Samoa were self-supporting. The peo-
pie were generous to a remarkable
degree and any stranger-Whlte'
brown, yellow or black-was received
in any house, supplied with food and
sleeping accomm odation, no questions
being asked about compensation. AS
far as American Samoa was concern
ed there were so few foreigners there
that this admirable trait had not been
stamped out by imposition or abuse of
confidence In morality they were
superior to any other branches of the
Polynesian race and were excelled by
none. Petty theft was very rare and
foreigners found that the locks and
bolts on their houses grew rusty
through disuse.-Sydney Herald.

which the preliminary basis for fur
ther conferences with respect to the
establishment of the internal reve-

headquarters at Columbia, was laid.
No definite agreement was reached by
Mr.. Lever and Col. Osborne, but it is
known that careful consideration is
being given to the recent reorganiza-
ton of the internal revenue districts
which eliminated four OF them, con-
solidating the South Carolina work
with the State of North Carolina.
