Killing at Aberdeen

During a baseball game at the
fair grounds in Aberdeen Mon
day afternoon Locke l.. Lam
was shot by Buford Wilson and
died shortly afterwards. The
speaking and barbecue, which
were the principal features of
the day, were over and the large
crowd assembled at the fair
grounds to witness a ball game.
Lam was the gatekeeper and
got into a dispute with Wilson
over an admission ticket. An
alteration followed, and it is al
legged that Lam struck Wilson
over the head with stick, when
the latter drew an automatic
pistol and fired four shots at
Lam, three of which took dead
ly effect. Lam was taken to
the home of his father where he
soon died. He was the assistant
manager of the Lam & Carter
Hardware Co., of Aberdeen.
Wilson was arrested and placed
in the Monroe county Jail, after
which he was transferred to the
Jail here. The unfortunate diff
Guilty is one of the many deplor-
able affairs which too frequently
result from a readiness to resent
some supposed affront.

GAS IN THE STOMACH
 DANGEROUS
Physicians Recommend the use Of
 Magnesia.

Sufferers from indigestion or dys- pepsia should remember that the presence of gas or wind in the stom- ach inbariably indicates that the stomach is troubled by excessive acidity.
 This acid causes the food to rer- ment and the fermenting food in turn gives rise to noxious gases which d1stend the stomach, hamper the normal functions of vital internal organs, causes acute headaches, inter- fere with the acticn of the heart. and charge the blood stream with deadly polsons, which in time must ruin the health. Physicians say that to quick ly dlspel dangerous accumulation of wind in the stomach and to ston the food fermentation which creates the gas, the acid in the stomach must be neutralized and that for this pur- pose there is nothing quite so goo6 as teaspoonful of pure bisurated magnesia taken in a little water inn miedlately after meals. This instant iy neutralizes the acid thus stopping Fermentation ond the formation of gas. and enables the inflamed, dis tended stomach to proceed with its Wcrk under natural conditions blsurated magnesia is obtainable in powder or tablet from any druggist; put as there are many differtHt forms or magnesia i5' is important that the p.sufated which the physicians pre- scribe should be distinctly asked for
