NEGROES IN DUEL:
 NEITHER IS HURT

Timothy Luste:' and James Will Hams, negroes, engaged in a due1 with shotgun and rifle on the Hooker Llantation yesterday forenoon but whether because of poor marksman- ship or the range, or both-neithel was hurt.
 The trouble arose because of Tim othy's objections to his wife picking cotton for Williams. The latter wife demonstrated when Timothy sought to manhandle his woman, and received a slap for his good inten- tion. This aroused Williams-as it might have any man--and he hiked for his home to get his shotgun. Lus- ter had a premonition or suspicion oi what was coming, so he prepared to meet it, his preparations consisting of securing rifle and starting back toward Williams place. They began firing as soon as they came in sight of each other, all the bullets going wild
 Both men were later arrested by Deputy Sheriff J. L. McBurnett and Special Deputy Sheriff A. c. May berry, Luster being caught in Lin coin county at the home of a rela- tive. Williams furnished cash bond of $500 for his appearance on a charge of shooting with intent to kill. Luster is in jail ill default of bond on a similar charge

 by the Woman in the Case.

Wesley" who was surprised in a New York hotel with Alice Will Hams" by representative of the band of Mann act' blackmailers recently exposed by federal officials. The hlackmailers, after bringing West and the woman to Chicago, talked the man out of $15,OO0 in return for prom ise to keep quiet.
 '"The woman with me was not Alice Williams, but Buda Goldman, mem Der of the gang" West said.
 This woman is now under surveil- lance in a Chicago hotel pending the outcome of preliminary hearing of Jno. T. French, George Irwin and Doe" Brady, on charges of blackmail- ing West. French, who has used Jack" and "Homer" as aliases. is said to be the son of a wealthy St. Louis widow, who believed him to be engaged in the haberdashery busi- ness.

She said she was, a convent-bred girl and that her parents would commit suicide ov- CT the disgrace. She asked them what she could do to save herself from disgrace, and then the question of money was adroitly preached.
 Before I knew it we were in two staterooms racing back to Chicago We were kept prisoner three or four days and then because the woman had been crying all the time and ap- pealed to my chivalry to save her, paid them $12,500 cash. Several days after, Irwin, who represented himself as United States Commissioner Foote released us, they obtained $2,50o more from me-"

 The utmost of enthusiasm was dis played at a meeting last evening, at the Hotel Pines. of all the campaign CTS, with officers of the chamber of commerce. A light luncheon was en- joyed while final plans were perfect ed for the campaign and while the forces were being lined up. Then the cards. were distributed, the sev- eral squads and captains showing every desire to make the campaign one of unequalled success.
 During the little session, those present signed up their own cards, an aggregate of approximately $2,- O0O per year for three years being thus pledged. The campaign is to bring $1O,0OO per year for three years to the chamber of commerce, and the faot that the campaigners have al ready signed their own pledges for one-fifth of that amount indicates their own enthusiasm and their own confidence in the successful achieve ment of the goal that has been set.

WHY WOMEN
 WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
 cine Co.

Women who are well often ask fEAre the letters which the Lydia B. Pinkham Medicine Co., are continually publishing, genuine?" "Are they truthful ?" "Why do women write such letters? ?"
 In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have. we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it.
 The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine Go. is that Lydia E. Pink ham s Vegetable Compound has brought health snd happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis placements, inflammation. alteration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues. It is impossible for any woman who is we'll and who N15&6sA has never suffered >7NN -$WC\NNT to realize how these (W ~ NS@A\M poor, suffering wo- -~Ep men feel when re- iY
