tence in this county for Nix, he hav-
Ing been convicted here in 1892 Of

per stories which have been sent out
from that city. The following is from
the Greenville News OF yesterday and
tells Of his preliminary hearing:
JEFF d. Nix was given q preliminary

Nix near the home. He left tho home
but was tracked and later captured by
the sheriff's officers and placed In
Jail. - SS
Tho deputies went to the home for
an investigation. carrying physic-
ian who had to use his best skill to
eave the girls life. 1t developed that
none but the defendant. whom the
girl claimed was the father of the
child. and herself. were present at
the birth Of trc infant. According to
the Testimony of the deputies, the
mother OF the infant stated that 1t

1t seems that Nix took the child

DAILY GAIN IN WEIGHT
Comes TO Those Who Use samose,
Says Druggist Jacobs.

The poor, thin, emaciated person
when he or she becomes plump, rosy
and robust by using Samose, forgets
that there is such a thing as weakness
and underweight
Samose restores health to the whole
system, so that the tissues assimilate
from the food all of those elements
which make solid bone, firm muscle
pure blood and sufficient fat to restore
beautiful and symmetrical outlines to
the figure.
An Increase in weight is seen from
the first weeks use of Samose, but if
1t does not restore you to your proper
weight and give you full vigor and vi
tally, Jacobs Pharmacy will return
your money You certainly can af-
ford to try Samose on this guaran-
tee.-Advt.
