SUDDEN DEATH OF MR.. RI
KARD SHOCKS COiMMUNITY
Getsting Ready For Home Coming
Day at Colony-Worthy Colored
Man Gets Home to Die

The very sudden death of Nj. B.
B. Rikard which occurred at the
home of his son-in-law and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Kinard, at West
End on Tuesday, the 4th, brought
quite a feeling Of sadness to the en-
tire community.
He left his home on Tuesday morn
ing in his usual health as many others
did, TO enjoy the pleasures which the
good people of our Newberry city
had arranged and carried out for the
pleasure OF the public at large. He
stayed in the city until about eleven
o'clock and then went over to take
dinner and spend a few hours with
his daughter. When he arrived he
told her that he had a pain in his
head and lay down across the bed TO
rest. His daughter gave him an as
pirin tablet and in a short while he
told her he was feeling better. She
prepared dinner and at one o'clock
they ate. He ate a hearty dinner and
told his daughter how he enjoyed
her good dinner. He again lay down
and complained of his head and it
was not long before his daughter
heard him breathe in a strangling
way and she and her husband hurried
to the bed, raised him up, and in a
few minutes he died in their arms.
Mr.. Rikard was member of Bach
man Chapel Lutheran church and was
for many years found faithful in at
tendance both in Sunday school and
divine worship.
Berry was loved by all who knew
him. You never found him without
smiling countenance, and the very
large audience that attended his fu-
neral which numbered at least 500,
bore evidence to the high esteem in
which he was held.
His body was laid to rest in Bach
man Chapel cemetery on Wednesday
afternoon following his death. The
funeral service was conducted by his
pastor, Rev. S. P. Koon, assisted by
the Rev. W. H. Dutton. TIE words
of the text which were so appropriate
should be a warning to Us all: "Be
We therefore ready for in such an
hour as We think not the Son Of Man
cometh." He died at the age of 60
years and s months.
l have been requested by the sor-
rowing wife and children TO say to
one and all who rendered their SER
vice and showed their sympathetic
love in these bitter hours that their
deeds of kindness and words of COM
fort have sunk deep down in their
hearts, which will never be forgotten,
and may they find just such help as
they rendered US in their hours Of
sorrow.

STRIKE TROUBLE
CAUSES DEATH
BOY KILLED AT CLINTON, ILL,
SHOPS
Father of Slain Lad Suffers Wounds
in Both Legs-Troops Called
Out

Clinton, ILL.,, July 8.-First trouble
in the railroad shipments strike oc-
Cured here today when guard, en-
ployed by the Illinois Central rail-
road, shot and killed James Fitz-
gerald, 12, wounded his father, a
striker, by shooting him through the
leg and wounded a passerby. The
latter was shot through both legs.
1t is said the trouble started when
the guard told a number of strike
sympathizers to keep off the right OF
way, declaring he would "shoot the
first man who stepped over the dead
line" Fitzgerald, it is claimed, step
ped over, whipped out pistol and
invited the guard to "begin shooting"
Early tonight about 600 strikers
and sympathizers were collected near
the shops. Sheriff J. W. Persons sent
the telegram to Lieutenant Governor
Sterling at Rockford, which resulted
in troops being ordered here.
The railroad guard who fired the
shots was arrested by Sheriff Persons,
who drove him out of the county.
All men walking out of the Clinton
shops have deserted their jobs and
the guards stationed at the shops
have fed.
The Clinton shops employed about
500 men before the strike and 400 OF
these walked out July /. No strike
breakers were imported by the roads,
it is said, and outside of those who
remained at work only few came
in to augment their forces. Between
70 and rs guards were stationed
about the shops.
Stories of how the trouble started
vary. The strikers claimed the
guards started it, and the guards
claim the strikers were the first to
become ugly.
After the shooting, strikers and
sympathizers started for the city for
guns. Word preceded them and by
the time they reached the business
section two of the t.iree hardware
stores in town had succeeded in hid
, ing their stock, and inside the third
were police and deputy sheriffs. Their
attempts to keep the men out were
futile and the men, it is said, took
every gun and cartridge in the store
and started for the railroad yards.
Postmaster Cline arrived just as
the men were leaving, talked with
them and asked them to stop and
think before they committed murder
or shed unnecessary blood. The men
listened and returned arms and am
munition they had taken.
The strikers returned to the rail-
road yards but later came to town
and gathered in groups about the
street corners waiting the arrival Of
troops.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
II is physicians prescription.
swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended thew
should do.
swamp-Root has stood the test of years
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper Advertisement.
