Lake City, October 10: DIR Mimi

Monday night on business. Mrs Minis

Mr. B Wallace Jones, Sr, is very

him. Mr. B Wallace Jones. Jr, went
down Sunday and returned Monday.
He says, we understand, that his
father has not typhoid fever, as was
at first thought, but some other
malady.
Mr. C D Rollins is contemplating
building an infrmary here, and with
this end in view has been looking
around several days for suitable
lot upon which to build. So far he
has not been successful in finding
what he wants. There are several
suitable lots, but they are in the
hands of parties who will not sell.
Such an institution as DR. Rollins
proposes would be quite a benefit to
the town and community.

COLDS AFFECT The KIDNEYS.
Many Kingstree People Have Found
This to be True.


Are you wretched in bad weather?
Does every cold settle on your
kidneys?
Does your back ache and become
weak?
Are urinary passages irregular
and distressing?
These symptoms are cause to sus-
pect kidney weakness.
Weakened kidneys need quick help
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for weakened kidneys.
Kingstree people recommend them
Mrs S A Nettles, Mill St, Kings

EDGEf|ELD FARMER
SLAIN BY NE|GHBOR,
CHAS TURNER FIRED WHEN HE
SAW SOMEONE IN WINDOW
OF HIS HOME, HE SAYS.

Edgefeld, October 6:--Bud Berry
was shot and instantly killed by
Charley L Turner last night, about
IL o'clock at the home of the latter,
three miles from this place. Berry
was shot twice with a shotgun, one
load taking effect in the left breast
just over the heart, the other in the
side. The parties were neeghbors,
living within mile of each other
and both prominent farmers with
families.
No one was present when the trag-
edy occurred except Turner and the
dead man, and the formers state
ment made at the inquest was to the
effect that some hours after going
to bed he heard noise at a window
leading to his daughters room; that
he got up, secured his gun and went
to the place; that upon reaching
there he saw someone, not knowing
at the time who it was,. either trying
to get in or coming out of the win
dow; that he hailed him twice with
out reply, whereupon he raised his
gun and fired, the first shot being
made while Berry was in the win
dow, the other after he fell or jump
ed to the ground, and Turner said
he thought he was making for him.
Neigbors soon reached the scene
to find Berry's body on the ground.
it is said, with his night clothes on
and in his stocking feet, his outer
clothes, shoes and pistol having been
laid just under the edge of the house.
Turner, with whom The News and
Courier correspondent talked this
morning, said that at first he thought
Berry was trying to break into his
house, but now he is convinced that
this was not his purpose. Mr. Tur-
ner came to town early this morning
and surrendered to the Sheriff and
will likely be tried at the approach
ing term of court, which convenes
on next Monday.
Both parties have large connec-
tions and this morning the streets
were full of relatives and friends
discussing and deploring the affair,
which has shocked the entire COM
munity. Mr. Berry was buried at
Harmony Methodist church this af-
ternoon.

BANK DEPOSITS LARGER.
Total In State Institutions In
creased Thirty Per Cent.

Deposits in the State, private and
branch banks in South Carolina are
greater than they ever were before
at this season of the year, according
to statement given out last Satur-
day by Ivy M Mauldin, the State
bank examiner.
The condition of the 317 State
banks and branches in South Carroll
ma at close of business September IL
indicates decided increase in busi-
ness over that of one year ago.
Loans show an increase of oyer S4,-
900, 900, while the banks have bor-
rowed 50. 100000 less than in 1915 t.
Cash reserve also shows an increase
of over S4,OOO,OOO.
The greatest increase, however, is
in deposits. which show a total in
crease of S11. 900, 900 over last year.
or a gain of over 80 per cent. De-
spite the fact that the total capital
of State banks in South Carolina has
decreased in the past few years, due
to some banks Matchmaking, total
deposits are higher than they have
ever been at this season of the year.
