TOO MANY DOGS

What's the good Of a dog in town
anyway. Everything q worthless
eur eats the chickens would be glad
TO get. A good fat hen sells for 70
or 80 cents aud will lay eggs for the
family to eat. There is no earthly
excuse for a man in town having
three or four NANCY dogs lying round
in the way, bowling all night and
scratching up the neighbors gardens
at day time. 1t may be possible a
dog is some good on the farm to
chase hogs and cows out Of tide corn
field, but the town dog has q pen
chant for chasing the neighbOrs
chickens and digging prospect holes
an the middle Of the flower beds.
Now that some OF our people have
been bitten by dOgs that had hydro
phobia, 1t lie high time that the town
authorities see that all dogs that are
valued by their owners are
mnzZled and the others shot.

Starts Your Liver without Max
Ing You Sick and Can
not SaliVate.

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is
taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
SUITS" said prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs SO
cents, and if it fails to give easy re-
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipat-
ed bowels. 1t doesn't gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take dose of CAL
omel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
lose days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
of vigor and ambition.

An Old Newspaper.

We have before US q copy of the
Kingstree Star dated December 1S,
1872, edited and published by Mr. K
C Logan. This old copy of the Star,
Kingstree's first newspaper, was
mailed to subscriber and still bears
his name, in plain, legible and dis
tinct letters-W E Smith, father Of
our townsman, MIR R B Smith, who
now owns the old paper and prizes
it among his keepsakes. AS to the
typographical get-up of the Star, we
believe it compares favorably with
other papers of its time. There is a
great scarcity of local advertise
ments in it, most of them being from
Charleston merchants.
In this issue of The Kingstree
Star"we note this item oflocal news:
EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS.
The following officers for this
county have been appointed by the

1t was rare thing for Kings
tree citizen to receive an express
package in those days. and when one
was so received lit seems to have
been a matter of considerable local
interest, though we know Kingstree
was not then a dry town. nor was

Bad Habits.

Those who breakfast at eight
o'clock or later, lunch at twelve and
dine at six are almost certain to be
troubled with indigestion. They do
not allow time for one meal to di-
gest before taking another. Not less
than five hours should elapse be-
tween meals. If you are troubled
with indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain's Tablets. and
you may reasonably hope for quick
recovery. These tablets strengthen
the stomach and enable it to per-
form its functions naturally. OBJ

dead weight into Duane's arms, and one look at the haggard face showed Duane that the outlaw had taken his last ride. He knew it, too. Yet that cheerfulness prevailed.
 Buck, will you take off my boots?" he asked, with a faint smile on his pallid face.
 Duane removed them, wondering if the outlaw had the thought that he did not want to die with his boots on. Stevens seemed to read his mind.

 This matter of the outlaws boots was strange, Duane thought. He made Stevens as comfortable as possible. then attended to his own needs. And the outlaw took up the thread of his

CHAPTER ".

Two days later, about the middle of the forenoon, Duane dragged the two horses up the last ascent of an exceed ingly rough trail and found himself on top of the Rim Rock. with beautiful. green valley at his feet, the yellow, sluggish Rio Grande shining in the sun, and the great, wild mountainous barren of Mexico stretching to the south.
 No wonder outlaws were safe in that wild refuge! Duane had spent the last two days climbing the toughest and most difficult trail he had ever seen. From the looks of the descent he imagined the worst part of his travel was yet to come.

The outlaw had a bloody foam on his lips, and he was splitting blood.
 "Oh, why didn't you say sol" cried Duane. "I never thought. You seemed all right"
 Wal, Luke Stevens may be as gabby as an old woman, but sometimes he doesn't say anythin'. It wouldn't have done no good"
 Duane bade him sit down, removed his shirt, and washed the blood from his breast and back. Stevens had been shot in the breast, fairly low down, and the bullet had gone clear through him. His ride, holding himself and that heavy pack in the saddle, had been feat little short of marvellous. Duane did not see how it had been possible, and he felt no hope for the outlaw. But he plugged the wounds and bound them tightly.
 "Fellers name was Brown" Stevens said. Me an him fell out over hoss I stole from him over in Huntsville. We had q shootin' scrape then. Wal, as I was standin' my hoss back there in Mercer I seen this Brown, an seen him before he seen me. Could have killed him, too. But I wasn't breakin' my word to you. I kind of hoped he wouldn't spot me. But he did-aD' fust shot he got me here. What do you think of this hole?"
 Its pretty bad" replied Duane and he could not look the cheerful out law in the eyes.
 'I reckon it is. Wal, I've had some bad wounds I lived over. Guess mebbe I can stand this one. Now. Buck, get me some place in the brakes, leave me some grub an water at my hand, an then you clear out"
 ''Leave you here alone?" asked Du, ane sharply.
 "Shore. You see I can't keep ur with you. Brown an his friends will foller us acrost the river a ways You've got to think of number one in this game"
 What would you do in my caseT asked Duane curiously.
 Wal, reckon I'd clear out an save my hide," replied Stevens.
 Duane felt inclined to doubt the out laws assertion. For his own part. he decided his conduct without further speech. First he watered the horses, filled canteens and water bag, and then tied the pack upon his own horse. That done, he lifted Stevens upon his horse, and, holding him in the saddle, turned into the brakes, being careful to pick out hard or grassy ground that left little signs of tracks. Just about dark he ran across a trail that Ste vens said was good one to take into the wild country.
 "Reckon we'd better keep right on in the dark-till l drop," continued Stevens, with q laugh.
 All that night Duane, gloomy and thoughtful, attentive to the wounded outlaw, walked the trail and never halted. Dawn caught the fugitives at green camping site on the bank of q rocky little stream. Stevens fell q
