Some Results
Of Catarrh
Even Slight Cases of catarrh Have
Terrible Consequences.

Every case OF catarrh. OF course. Is
not fatal Nor does every case result
in consumption or bronchitis, but
nevertheless they are very frequent
No man or woman knows what his or
her case OF catarrh would lead to.
Men of robust health have succumbed
TO resulting consumption and partial
idiocy. Women of strong vitality have
become nervous wrecks and victims
Of bronchitis Your good health is
not always a preventive against the
catarrh germs.
The more you feel sure there Is no
danger of the Catarrh resulting in a
disease more serious, the more dan
ger there is; simply because you will
neglect yourself. This happens in
hundreds OF cases and We see il re-
corded almost daily in the letters we
receive. IT l had only started the
cure earlier" is a very frequent ex-
preston, showing that our warning
is not tanciful, but based on fearful
reality.
Even slight cases of catarrh may
result in nose cancer, than which
there is hardly a more painful at
Fiction in this world.
Catarrh Fatally Frequent.
Some OF the frequent results Of ca
tarrh are bronchitis. pneumonia, death
and decay of bones, loss of thinking
and reasoning power, death of ambi-
ton and energy, loss OF appetite, in
digestion, dyspepsia. liberation, bad
breath, general debility and some
times idiocy and insanity.
This IS why In the death list you
do not find mention of fatal catarrh:
the death Is caused not directly by
the catarrh itself, but by a disease
which was caused by catarrh. Med
zeal books ana CyClopedias will tell
You even more serious news than we
will tell you there; probably after
reading them you will have a full
realization of what IL is to have ca
tarrh-a common disease, II is true,
but with a common result, misery
for years, II not death.
Cure Is Certain.
You can cure that Catarrh, slight
or serious at once and forever. by

END OF THE MASSEE CASE.
Judge SeaSe Grants Full Discharge
to Macon Millionaire.

Spartanburg, September Judge
Thomas S. Sease, sitting in chamb-
ers to-day, wrote "tinis' to the case
of the State of Tennessee against w.
Jordan Massee by granting a full dis
charge to Massee and cancelling his
$4,000 bond. Massee is a million
aire street railway promoter and
horseman of Macon, Ga. He had
trouble with George Williams, mana
ger of his stock farm, and Williams
sued him in Tennessee for defama-
tion of character.
Massee endeavored by threats, it
was said, to induce Williams to drop
the suit Such attempted coercion
constitutes a felony under the Ten
nessee Code, and criminal proceed
ings were instituted against Massee.
The State of Georgia refused to honor.
a requisition for the delivery of
Massee into Tennessee. Detectives
employed by the State of Tennessee
watched the millionaire, however,
and succeeded in arresting him in
Spartanburg in July of last year as
he was passing through here on
train.
The case has since been involved in
a maze of litigation and has gone
through the Supreme Court of South
Carolina Massee so arranged mat
ters with Williams that the Governor
of Tennessee recently withdrew his
requisition for the Macon man.

Cured of Rabies BY Quinine.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Charles Boards
ley. a patient at the city hospital suf-
fering from disease diagnosed as
rabies, has been cured by quinine in
jected under the skin. DR.. DoWney
L. Harris, city bacteriologist, to-day
gave out details of the treatment.
When the patient entered the hos
pital he seemed to be on the verge
of conyulsions that mark the final
stage of the disease DR.. Harris gave
him a modification of quinine treat
ment that a Chicago physician had
used on dogs afflicted with rabies.
Fifteen grains of quinine were inject
ed under Beardsley's skin. Favor
able symptoms followed and another
injection was given. Since then the
patient has been given two injections
of quinine a day. DR.. Harris be-
lieves that the quinine tends to throw
off the germ organisms in the body.

SHOOTS GUARD AND ESCAPES.
Marion Brown, Jasper County Chain
gang Convict, Gets Away.

Ridgeland, Sept. 2.-Yesterday af-
ternocn about o'clock Marion
Brown, a negro, who was convicted
at Jasper last term of court for
shooting Grant Moore, another ne
gro, and sentenced to serve three
years on the county changing, made
a sensational escape. While H. D.
Floyed, the only guard on duty, was
near the main teGt, the negro, who
was looked upon as a trusty, secured
heavy shovel and made rush at
the guard, and at the same time Sc
curing the latter'S rife, which was a
short distance away. AS soon as he
secured the rifle he shot at the guard,
hitting him in the leg. The guards
life was only saved by the fact that
when the negro went to readjust the
rifle one of the cartridges jammed,
thus preventing him from firing until
the guard could get out of the way.
The negro then turned the weapon
upon another trusty but missed his
mark. 1t is said that he then went
to the guards trunk, secured all the
rifle cartridges he could find, and
left with a suit of citizens clothes.
The negro served before on the gang
for a similar offense. He is de-
scribed as being a dark ginger-cake
negro, almost black, about 40 years
of age, 6 feet 3 inches. He has three
scars on his forehead and very Sc
we're burn under right wrist, 1t is
understood that the county, will offer
a reward of $50 for his apprehension.

BELIEVE MAN WAS MURDERED.
Body of St. George Man Found on
Railroad Track.

St. George, Sept. 1.-The death
of Crum l.. Reeves, whose body was
found lying on the track OF the
Southern Railway this morning by
laborers going to their work at the
Dorchester Lumber Company, about
two miles from here, is tonight
shrouded in mystery.
The general belief, until brought
out otherwise by witnesses at the in
quest, was that he met his death accl-
dentally by being run over by loco
motive, but it is now thought by
some that he was killed by negro
with whom he has had trouble and
his body placed on the track in order
to divert suspicion. The top of his
head was cut off and his brains were
found above the particles of skull,
indicating that the train which struck
him was going towards Columbia.
Mr.. Reeves was last seen on yester-
day evening going in the direction of
St. George from Badhams. The jury
empanelled by acting Coroner Moorer
failed to render a verdict on account
of the lack of sufficient information,
but a further investigation will be
held tomorrow. The negro who is
suspected was sent for, but could not
be found; it is not yet known whether
he has escaped or not. Mr.. Reeves
was a man of family and was well
known in this community.

OBJECT TO EXCESS FREIGHT.
Unjust Tax on Cotton Producers, De.
clare Southern Senators!

Washington, September 1.-Sena-
tors E. D. Smith and Hoke Smith,
with other Senators from the cotton
States, will call on the interstate
commerce commission tomorrow to
protest against the operation of a
new railroad requirement, that every
bale of cotton not of standard size
and wrapping shall pay one dollar
excess freight. The railroads insist
that the bale must be 81 inches wide
and "a inches long, with six yards Of
bagging weighing two pounds to the
yard, protected by six ties headed up.
Senators from the cotton States de-
clare that the exaction of the extra
dollar on each bale not so Standard
lied would unjustly tax the farmers
of the South millions of dollars and
the interstate commission will be
urged to investigate and report inn
mediately and prohibit it, unless JUS
tifcation can be shown.
1t has been suggested in Washing
ton that the course of the railroads
in laying the additional dollar on
bales not of the stipulated size is by
way of retaliation upon the round
bale people, who some months ago
began proceedings before the COM
merce commission to force the car
riers to give them preferential rates.
A round bale, of course, would have
to paw the excess dollar if the new
railroad tariff should be upheld.

Banks Editor of Intellingencer.

Anderson, Aug. 29.-Mr. William
Banks, for some time past editor Of
the Anderson Daily Mail, will be edi-
tor Of the Anderson semi-weekly In
telligencer under the latter papers
new management. Mr.. Banks will
probably take charge of the Intelli-
gencer Immediately, as it is under
stood that the issue of yesterday was
the last which Editor V. B. Chesire
would control. Mr.. Banks is a wide
ly known newspaper man in South
Carolina, having for many years been
with The State, leaving that paper to
become editor of the Anderson Mail
Fhe Intelligencer is one of the
most valuable semi-weekly proper
ties in the State, its circulation and
influence being very considerable.
Up to the present it has been an ad-
ministration organ. It's purchase was
made by a number of business men
of Anderson, the deal being nego-
tiated by the chamber of commerce.
Mr.. Banks was one of the subscrib-
ers to stock. Subscriptions are now
being solicited, and the idea is to-
make improvements in the property.
The owners of the Daily Mail have
not yet announced who will succeed
Mr.. Banks as editor of that paper.

Truly a Dark Corner.

One acre of cotton was destroyed
and five COWS were poisoned on the
place of Constable Green Howard on
Thursday night, and in spite of the
fact that Sheriff Rector secured the
Gowansville section with his blood
hounds no trace of the guilty parties
was found. A telephone message
reached the city yesterday morning
that the trouble had occurred in the
Gowansville section, and Sheriff Rec
tor rushed to the scene Immediately.
1t was found that unknown parties
had poisoned five of Mr.. Howard's
COWS with paris green and had de-
stroyed about an acre of cotton by
beating it down with a frail. 1t is
understood that the officers have
clue to the guilty parties and that ar
rests will follow. None of the COWS
have died, as too much paris green
was used, the COWS refusing to eat
much of the food with which it was
mixed.
Green Howard is a constable for
Magistrate Lanford, of CLASSY Noun
tain township and it is thought prob
able that some person or persons up
on whom Howard served papers late
ly, or who bear him a grudge for
some other reason, took advantage of
darkness to do damage to his home
and property. The section of the
county in which the trouble occurred
it known as the Dark Corner" and
it is feared that serious trouble will
result unless some action is taken.
Crimes of this kind are not unknown
in that neighborhood, and previous
ones have resulted fatally.
Sheriff Rector did not return to the
city until late yesterday afternoon,
when he gave the account of the oc-
currence, stating that every possible
step had been taken. to apprehend the
guilty parties and that he did every
thing possible with the blood hounds,
but to no avail.-Greenvill News.

Pure Indian in High Office.

The Montgomery Advertiser directs
attention to the fact that the appoint
ment of Gabe E. Parker, of Okla
homa, to be register of the treasury
marks the first elevation of full
blooded Indian to high Office in the
WASHINGTON Government. Men who
had a strain of Indian blood in their
veins have frequently occupied seats
in both the House and the Senate.
Senator Owens, of Oklahoma, who
joined with Senator Gore, in RECON-
mending Parker, is such man. Ex-
Senator Charles Curtis, of Kansas,
is another. But no full-blooded In
dian ever sat in the United States
Senate or filled other high places in
the Federal Government.
Parker is a Choctaw. He belongs,
according to our Alabama contempo-
rary, to the Parker family which has
furnished ruling chiefs to the Choc-
taw nation since Indian history began
to be recorded by the white man. The
Choctaws of Oklahoma went across
the Mississippi River from West Ala
bona and East Mississippi, having
ceded their Alabama and Mississippi
lands by the treaty of Dancing Rabbit
Creek, executed in 1881. They had
waged war on the French, who set
tied Mobile, and sought to conquer
the upper Tonbigbee River, but they
were friendly to the early Americans
and remained so until their migra-
ton to the West. Of all the tribes
of Southern Indians the ChoctaWs
were conceded to be of the highest
average in intelligence and in sus-
ceptibility to civilization. Many OF
the Choctaws are wealthy, thanks to
the care with which paternal gov
ernment has conserved their lands
and money, AID the Parker family,
from which the new register of the
treasury comes, is Que Of the richest
of all the Indian families.

The State Militia.

Federal funds are not to be used
after January l next for the organlz-
ed militia OF the states unless the
citizen soldiery complies with the law
which declares their organizations
shall be the same as that which is
now or may hereafter be prescribed
for the regular army of the United
States"
This order was issued by the war
department on Thursday. The law
was passed several years ago, and
Secretary Garrison expresses the be-
lief that "a sufficient time has now
elapsed to enable the states to more
definitely conform in organization
to the regular army
IF at any time the number of
companies in a complete regiment
falls below 12, exclusive of the ma
chine gun COMPANY says the order,
1.-The deficiency must be replaced
within six months or the reglmental
organization be considered as per-
manently abandoned.
This principle of placing missing
companies within six months applies
alike to infantry, calvary and artil-
lery.

They Couldn't Either.

She was a charming English girl,
but she could not see the point of a
joke. Her classmates at college,
jolly, fun-loving girls, regretted this
serious defect in their dear friend
and determined upon a reform.
So they made up little joke with
a very broad point to spring upon
Evelyn that night. Accordingly,
when they had all met in Evelyn's
room, Clara propounded the joke,
which was really riddle.
Maud" she said, "can you tell
me the best way to make Maltese
CROSSE"
"No" replied Maud, after due
thought. How do you make Nal
tese CROSSE"
Pull its TAIL" said Clara prompt
ly.
The other girls Uttered obligingly,
but Evelyn sat solemnly as an owl
with a puzzled frown on her classic
brow.
"What's the matter with you, Eve
lyn?" cried the girls, justly indig-
nant. Cant you see the point?'
Evelyn shook her head. "Girls,'
she said regretfully, 81 know it's aw-
fully stupid of me, but I can't for the
life of me see how anyone could make
a Maltese cross out of pullet's tail.

MARRIED s TIMES IN \ WEEK.
Held World Record with More than
One Hundred Wives

Women, as a rule. are more given
to the marrying habit than men,
though no woman has reached the
worlds marrying record made by
George Witzoff, the notorious biga-
mist, whose marriages totalled over
100. In one week he went through
eight ceremonies.
Almost as strange a case was that
of a Russian woman condemned not
long ago to Siberia She had been
married to twenty husbands and had
treated them all alike, running away
and taking all their portable property
with her. She was most attractive
woman and highly educated.
A woman named Schmeyer, of
Pennsylvania, was sent to prison not
long ago for bigamy. Though she
was only 27 years old, she had mar
ried twelve men in ten years. Her
only comment in courts was that she
had liked them all.
A Boer woman named De Beers,
whose sixth husband died recently,

husbands were widowers, all with
