Self at Residence Near Easley.

Easley, June 20.-Fred Williams,
a member of the house of representa-
tives from Pickens county, committed

report of a pistol and rushing into a
shed room, adjoining the front porch,
found the body on the floor with a
pistol hole in the centre of the fore
head. A physician was summoned
but death took place before his ar
rival. A note was found on the bu-

done no injustice to any one.
He was known throughout the
county and had accumulated a con-
siderable amount of property. He
was 55 years of age and is survived
by wife and six children.

Had Narrow Escape.

Averet Arlington, an employe OF
the Greenwood garage, had narrow
escape from burning to death at 2
O'Clock this afternoon, when his shirt,
which he had washed in gasoline and
put on before it dried, caught fire
from a match struck to light cigar
ct. Mr.. W. P. burst and others went
to his rescue Immediately and extln-
guished the fire as soon as possible,
but not until the young mans face,
arms and body had been horribly
burned.
After dinner today Mr.. Arlington
thoroughly saturated his work shirt
in gasoline, to remove the grease,
and, thinking that it had dried suf
fciently, put it on and short while
afterward struck a match to light a
cigaret. The garment caught in a
flash and perhaps he would have
burned to death if help had not been
rendered him Immediately. Although
suffering great pain, his condition is
not considered serious.-Greenwood
Journal.

with kissing a married woman, &
member of his congregation, Rev
David Francis. pastor of the Third
Christian church, of this city, was
relieved of his charge today by the
official board.
The board agreed not to publish
it's findings if Rev. Mr.. Francis did

Rev. Mr.. Francis does not deny
that he kissed the woman, but does
deny any improper intentions ano

Ship Turns Turtle.
"When the aeroplane had dropped
about 900 feet the front planes went
down and under, until the ship had
been turned completely over. When it
was half way over it steadied for a
minute and the force of the fall was
broken a little, but it gathered mo-
mentum again, and when it hit the
water, there was a terrific crash. But

NEGRO LYNCHED AT AMERICUS
SLAYER of Policeman Swung Up and
Shot to Pieces.

Americus, Ga., June PA mob
of 500 persons attacked the county
jail at S o'clock tonight, broke down
the cell door wherein negro, Will
liam Redding, was confined and drag
ged him through the principal streets
of the city to the Buchanan corner
where they lynched him. A thousand
shots, it is estimated, were fired. This
was the climax of the shooting earlier
in the evening of William c. Barrow,
who has been chief of police in this
city for the past twenty-five years,
and the wounding of four negroes.
The sheriff and his deputies found
resistance useless. With steel crow
bars and sledge hammers the angry
members of the mob attacked the
steel doors wherein the negro was
confined The lock was finally rip
ped from it's fastenings and the door
swung open. Then a rope was tied
about the negroes neck and he was
led through the streets to the Buchan-
an corner in Lamar street, near the
scene of the shooting of Chief Bar
row. There he was strung up to
cable.
The body had only been cleared
from the ground when the rope broke
but the negro was again strung up,
this time with better success. Shoot
ing began from every direction and
the body was riddled with bullets.
Before the shooting began Rev. Rob-
ert Bivins, pastor of the Furlow Lawn
Baptist Church, pleaded in vain with
the leaders to spare the life of the
negro. His pleadings lasted during
the twenty minutes required to string
the body up to the cable, and then
yells of the crowd and the shots from
many pistols drowned his voice. The
shooting continued at intervals for
half an hour and the body was left
to hang on the cable. The lynching
was the most sickening tragedy ever
witnessed in Americus.

Negro Hanged at Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Ark, June 2O.-Wlll
Norman, a negro, captured after r.
hours search of the mountains about
Hot Springs, was hanged to a tele-
phone pole at the most prominent
street corner of the business district
of this city early last night, within
an hour of the death of his victim, the
14-year-old daughter of former cir
cult judge, c. Floyd Huff. His body
was riddled with bullets and later
burned. Several thousand persons
witnessed the lynching.
The child was attacked at the Floyd
home this morning during the ab-
sence of other members of the family.
When she attempted to fight off her
assailant, the negro dubbed her into
insensibility, fracturing her skull,
and forced her into closet where
she was found some time later, by a
younger brother.
Norman, who was employed at the
Huff home, was captured shortly af-
ter nightfall at a negro cabin where
he sought refuge after evading the
posses with bloodhounds during the
day. He made no denial of his iden-
tity nor of the crime but pleaded that
the mob be prevented from burning
him. An effort *as made to hurry
him to jail, but before the prison was
reached the news of his capture had
spread and the mob was quick in
forming. He was taken from his cap
tors on the jail steps and despite the
pleading of several city officials hur-
ried to the center of the most fire.

"CASCARETS' MAKE
YOU feel GREAT
A 10 Cent Box Will Keep Your Liver,
Stomach and Bowels Clean, Pure
and Fresh for Months.

Sick headache, biilousness, dizzi.
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and
foul breath-always trace them to
torpid liver, delayed fermenting food
in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the H.
testines, instead of being cast out of
the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Salts, cathartic pills, oil and purga-
tive waters force a passageway for a
day or two-yes-but they don't take
the poisons out and have no effect
upon the liver or stomach.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases, take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system al the constipated waste
matter and poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight viii surely

from your druggist means your head
