erogation.

A bit of horse play indulged in by
a spectator in the court room at An
derson last week imperiled the life
of everyone present and especially
ieopardized the lives of Judge H
F Rice and the deputy Sheriff
who was walking down the aisle
with the Judge on the way to din
ner at the noon recess. The smart
Alec" doubtless desiring to advise
the natives that he was in town and
on familiar terms with the acting
Sheriff ,playfully tapped that official
over the pistol pocket with stick,
causing the officers weapon to ex-
plode and thereby precipitating a
scene of excitement that can readi-
ly be imagined. Fortunately that
divinity supposed to wait upon fools
and children seems to have been
on the job" and no one in the
courtroom was killed or MANNED by
the missile exploded by the deadly
weapon We concur most heartily
with the oral opinion Of his Honor
that the man acted very foolishly.

Attempted Suicide.

Mr. Simeon Harrington, about SO
years of age, and residing in the
Workman neighborhood, with his
wife and several children, on Friday

The Columbia Record issued its
first Sunday paper last Sunday
morning. 1t was a mammoth edi-
ton of 116 pages-one of the big
gest newspapers ever issued insouth
Carolina. The Record has made
wonderful strides in progress within
the past few years and now ranks as
one of the leading afternoon papers
of the South. Last Sundays issue
represents not only vast expendi-
ture of money, talent and energy but
also magnificent mechanical
plant, without which such a Jour-
nalistic feat could not have been ac-
eomplished.

Avoid SedatlVe Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrence of capillary bron-
chitis and pneumonia use cough
medicines that contain codine, NOR
phine, heroin and other sedatives
when you have a cough or cold. An
expectorant like Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is what is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs of
pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from cold when Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is used. 1t has
worldwide reputation for its cures.
1t contains no morphine or other
sedative. For sale by all dealers. adv

Consumption Takes
$50 People Every Day

in the United States and the sur
prising truth is that most cases are
preventable with timely, intelligent
treatment.
These appalling facts should warn
US that after sickness, colds, over
work or any other drains upon
strength, scott's Emulsion should
be promptly and regularly used be-
cause tubercular germs thrive only
in a weakened system.
The tested and proven value OF
Scott's Emulsion is recognized by
the greatest specialists because its
medical nourishment assimilates
quickly to build healthy tissue;
aids in the development of active,
life-sustaining blood corpuscles;
strengthens the lungs and builds
physical force without reaction.
Scott's Emulsion is used in tuber-
culosis camps because of its rare
bodybuilding, blood-making prop
critics and because it contains no
alcohol or habit forming drug.
Be sure to insist on SCOTS.

Wonder how many thousands OF
dollars advertising space the news
papers of South Carolina contribute
