The force Of the explosion wrecked
dozen or more buildings in the i'm

and scattered burning oil over the
business district, starting fires which
for time threatened to sweep
through the city. The fires were
brought under control early tonight.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined Several men were
at work on the car repairing leak
at the time and one theory advanced
was that a spark from hammer ig-
nited the escaping gas fumes. The
bodies of the workmen were torn to
fragments.
The city was placed under martial

TENANT SHOOTS HIS LANDLORD.
Spartanburg Tragedy Occurred Last
FTiday-Motive Unknown.

Spartanburg, Sept. g.. Robert
lower part Of Spartanburg county,
was shot and probably fatally wound
ed early to-day by Cliff Godfrey, a
white man and tenant on Hanna's
place. The shooting occurred at
Godfrey's home. Godfrey is said to
have fired three times into Hanna's
body with a single-barrelled shotgun.
Physicians Of the city were sum
and have been at his bedside since
1t is said by Hanna's neighbors that
they entertain little, If any, hope of
his recovery. The wounded man is a
is unmarried. He has taken an ac-
tive part in the politics Of his section.
Hanna Died Later.
Spartanburg, Sept. 26.-The coro-
young white man. responsible for
the death OF Robert Hanna, who was
shot down in Godfrey's home Friday
morning near Enoree. To place the
responsibility for the death Of Hanna
was mere formality, but the inves-
tigation brought 200 men, women
and children to the Hanna home,
where they crowded about the coro-
ner's jury with breathless silence and
listened to the testimony of wit
neSses.
The witnesses told how Hanna was
shot three times, the first shot fired
having taken off his lower jaw, yet in
that condition, and with Godfrey fol-
lowing him and firing two other
shots into his body as he crossed the
field, he walked a quarter Of a mile
to his home before he gave way from
loss of blood.
The witnesses to-day were God
frey's wife, Dr.. Hanna, who attended
the-dead man, and Capt. C. A. Spen-
GER, an employee of the C. and w. c.
Railroad, who came upon the scene
Of the shooting in his lever car just
in time to see all that occurred out
side the house. He testified that
Mrs. Godfrey ran between her hus-
band and Hanna at one time and
Godfrey said to her: Get out Of the
way, - you, or ! will kill you!"
Mrs. Godfrey testified that she had
broken a gun belonging to her hus-
band to pieces a few weeks ago to
keep him from killing himself with
it. She says she has no idea why
her husband should have wanted to
kill Hanna, unless It was because he
was in debt to him.
Mrs. Godfrey was Miss Maggie
Wood, of Cashville, prior to her mar
riage, and was at one time connected
with the Spartanburg Telephone Ex-
change. She has two children. The
family had lived on the Hanna place
| less than a wear.
J. Godfrey has surrendered to the
officials Of Spartanburg county and
J has been placed in Jail.

Rome, Sept. 1.-THE Apostolic
delegate at Constantinople, Monsig-

report describing the massacre Of Ar

Turkey, while the other powers can
do nothing because they are at war
with Turkey.
The only possible assistance, adds
Monsignor Dolci, can come from
every effort to relieve and protect the
prosecuted Armenians.

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A P|MPlY SKIN
r'MrLEs ARE IMPURITIES SEEK.
ING AN OUTLET THROUGH THE
SKIN PORES

/ Pimples. sores and boils usually re.
suit from toxins. poisons and impur.
tiles which are generated in the bow
els and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
II is the function OF the kidneys
to filter impurities from the blood
and cast them out in the form Of
urine. but in many instances the
bowels create more toxins and impur-
tiles than the kidneys can eliminate.
then the blood uses the skin pores
as the next best means Of getting rid
of these impurities which often break
out all over the skin In the form OF
pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin OF
these eruptions. says a noted author
ity. is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces Of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful In a glass of hot
water each morning before break
fast for one week. This will prevent
the formation OF toxins In the bow
els 1t also stimulates the kidneys to
normal activity. thus coaxing them
to filter the blood Of impurities and
clearing the skin Of pimples.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid Of grapes

and is excellent for the kidneys as
