Man, Who May Die.

Lexington Special to Charleston
News and Courier, Dec. 1O.-Mrs

Mrs. Hite was arrested on a war
rant sworn out before Magistrate A.

police of Batesburg, in which she is
charged with being an accessory to
the shooting.
The affidavit sets out:
THE ACCUSATION.
That on information and belief at
Batesburg, Lexington county, state
aforesaid. on the 9th day Of Decem-
ber, 1913, one Ella Dele Hite did
unlawfully assist, aid, abet and pro-

out just cause or provocation, to vio-
lently assault, shoot, penetrate and
wound one ]. Milton Hite, with in

her husbands injuries will be await

Gurganous. Mrs. Hite is a typical
brunette, very attractive in personal

HOW TO STOP SMOKING
CIGARETTES.
(By Albert Deems Betts.)

Thousands of men and boys would
like to quit, but they can't. They
are enslaved by the habit. On rare
occasions boy will through sheer
force of will quit. But most cigar
cite users need help.
Such help is now within your
reach. Go to your physician or drug
gist and get silver nitrate solution
(one-eighth of l per cent? and wash
out your mouth with it. 1t won't
hurt you, and you won't want to
smoke either. Try it,
The Anti-Cigarette League (com-
monty known as the A. G. L.) is pub
fishing this wonderful discovery to
the world and thousands of tobac-
co users are finding it to be a God
send. The following clipped from
THE Continent" is intensely inter
esting:
'Dr. ID. II. Kress, general secretary
of the Anti-Cigarette League, who
has forsaken his practice to devote a
large share of his attention to the
rewly established work. does not
cain the credit for the discovery of
this cure. The details of the mouth
wash were in fact published in 1908,
but attracted little attention
mouth of a patient number of years
ago the attention of DR.. Kress was
focused upon this chemical solution
as an aid in taking away the desire
Tor tobacco. He already had observ-
cd that habitual smokers are large
consumers of tea, coffee, meats I'D
highly seasoned foods. He nd
that when a man limits his die, to
milk, baked cereals and fruits, desire
for tobacco is very much lesseed.
Combination Of attention to diet with
the silver nitrate mouth wash CON
stitutes the basis of the cure"
The same journal gives a very
Illuminating discussion of the bad
effects of the cigarette, or rather the
cource from which those bad effects
come:
Recent scientific investigation and
examination CT the smoke produced
by the burning of cigarette shows
that the nicotine of the cigarette is
far less virulent than are the carbo-
mic oxide and other products OF it's
combustion. The loose structure of
the cigarette is said to cause the pro
duction Of this poisonous gas. Car
bonic oxide thus entered the blooi

of the drugs produced By the burn
ing of cigarette paper 1t is this that
makes the smoke irritating. Acrolein
in considerable quantities is extreme
ly dangerous. 1t is said by doctors
that the constant irritation of the
nervous system of the young especial
ly by cigarettes causes restlessness
and inability to concentrate thought"

After -Four Years Of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Upin Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.

Catron, Ky.-ln an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bette Bullock
writes as follows: 81 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, | could only sit up for little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called In, and his treat

down the street. This cure certainly
works.
DR.. Kress gives the following rule
to those who want to stop smoking:
l. Determine that you want to
stop.
2. Wash your mouth after each
meal for three days with a silver
nitrate solution (one-eighth of l per
cent?
3. When desire for smoking ap-
pears chew gentian root. Five cents
worth will last long while.
4. For the first two weeks after
beginning treatment make your
meals of fruits, well-baked cereal
foods and milk. Buttermilk or malt
ed milk may be used in place of tea
or coffee.
5. The typical city mans lunch of
ham sandwich, literally covered
with mustard, and cup of coffee
must be abolished in favor of more
nourishing and less stimulating meal.
6. Turkish baths assist in getting
rid of the stored up nicotine.
The great majority of our boys to-
day are being terribly dwarfed in
habit. This simple remedy will effect
cure and is in the reach of all.
Get your silver nitrate solution
(one-eighth of 1 per cent? from your
physician or druggist and follow di-
rectiOns explicitly. Only wash out
the mouth. Don't swallow any Of it.
1t creates a peculiar distate for to-
bacco.
This wonderful discovery comes
none too soon to save the boys of our
land.

Clemson College, Dec. 1.-THE
Clemson students are anXiously look

New Years day, and coming back
January 2.
This last terms work as a whole
have been fewer numDer OF tallures
in the history of the college. There
has been fewer number Of failures
and il seems that more boys will have
their names on the honor roll than
usual Last year DR.. Riggs started
an honor roll, on which all those
students who had no failures, no
work behind and less than twenty
demerits were eligible. This seemed
to put new life in the student body
and the class work has shown a won
derful Improvement since that time.
This roll is gotten out at the end OF
each term and sent to the parents of
all those boys whose names are IN
cluded in the list.
At the beginning of the year the
president suggested to the boys that
they try the plan of turning out
classes in the afternoon at O'Clock
instead of o'clock, and having
classes up till noon on Saturdays.
This plan was tried out for the first
term and everybody was so well
pleased with it that they want to
adopt 1t for the whole year. 1t gives
more time for athletics and recrea-

and keeps the class work each day
from being so long and tiresome.
Examinations begin on the 18th

GURGANoUs DENIES SHOOTING

Gurganous has refused to make
statement further than that he did
not do the shooting. His father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. A NJ. Gurgan-
Gus, Of Durham, n. c., came to Lex
ington yesterday and it is understood
that they secured counsel to represent
their son. SO far as is known, Mrs
Hite has not employed an attorney.
The condition of Mr.. Hite is said
to be grave. Upon the advice of
physicians he was carried to an Au-
gusta hospital yesterday. The injured
man is one of the most prominent
and popular young men of Batesburg
He has been for a number of years a
member of the town council and he
is held in the highest esteem.
The little S-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hite, who is said to
have been a witness to the shooting,
is in charge Of Mr.. IIites mother at
Batesburg.

SHOT IN HIS HOME

The shooting for which Gurganous
and Mrs. Hite are being held occur
red in the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Hite.
at Batesburg, on Saturday night
about z O'Clock. Mr.. Hi,e left his
work at the store of l.. ID. Cullum to
go to supper, little before O'Clock
and few minutes later a pistol shot
rang out. Nearby neighbors rushed
to the home only to find Hite with a
pistol wound in the lower part of the
neck.
Gurganous and Mrs. Hite were
found in the home together, it is
said, Mrs. Hite being at the telephone
trying to get a doctor when the first
person arrived. The weapon with
which the wound was inflicted was,
it is alleged, the property of Mr.. Hite
and has never been found. Gurgan-
Gus was arrested a few minutes later
at the home of Mr.. Hite by Chief of
Police John G.. Darby and was rush
ed to Lexington in an automobile.
The feeling at Batesburg against
GurganouS seemed to be so strong
that a circuitous route was chosen by
the officers in order that no attempt
at summary vengeance might be
made.
