Tampa, Fla., Deo. 2, A story of at
tempted outrage and probable lynching
comes from the west coast.
James Garrison lives two miles from
Ozono, on Curlew creek, and about one
mile from the railroad. Monday morning
he went away to attend to some business
as usual, leaving his wife and children at
home.
Some time after he had gone a nezro
tramp made his appearance at the sate,
and asked for something to eat. He had
a crutch and appeared to be a cripple,
from which Mrs. Garrison inferred that
he was not a very dangerous character,
and Invited him to a seat on the poren,
while she went to bring the food. She
returned and he ate heartily. After
awhile she intimated that he might go,
but he tarried. Then she started to walk
past him, when he grabbed her by the
dress and attempted to pull her down.
She screamed ajid fought, but there was
no one near to come to her assistance. Fi
nally she succeeded in getting loose from
him, and when she did the plucky little
■woman decided to get even. She grabbed
a board near by and began to batter tho
negro over the head with it, when the
scoundrel made a hasty retreat.
Mrs. Garrison at once went out and gave
the alarm, and a posse was organized to
catch the negro, but the pursuers say they
failed.
There is another story, however, that
the negro was caught, and, after being
strung up, was riddled with bullets.

TO WED AGAIN,
Air*. Augusta Drayton to >lnrtj i
Scotchman of Position.
New York. Dec. 2.—lt was reported to
day, upon what seems the best of author?
ity, that Mrs. Augusta Drayton, eldest
daughter of Mrs. William Astor, is about
to be married again.
Tiie happy man is George Haig, a
Scotchman of position, now a mcmbei of
the firm of Haig & Haig, whisky mer*
chants, with headquarters in London.
Mr. ltaig is to years of age, a favorite
and well-known man about town, and has
been very devoted to Mrs. Drayton during
her residence in London. His sister mar
ried Mr. Jamieson, head of the great dis
tilling ilrm of that name, and is a very
smart woman in London society.
Without, going into elaborate detail, it
will be remembered that Coleman Dray
ton sued his w ife for divorce on statutory
grounds, naming Hallett A. Borrows as
co-respondent. The case dragged itself
a slow and weary length through the New
Jersey courts, until society was much sur
prised to learn Mr. Drayton had retired
from Hie aggressive position he had
first assumed and had permitted his wife
to obtain a divorce from him on rite
ground of non-support and desertion.
Neither of the parties to either suit ever
pur in an appearance in court, and the
greatest influence was brought to bear to
keep even the formal motions of the law
yers as quiet as possible. A few weeks
ago Mr. Borrows was married to Miss
Corbin, daughter of the late Austin Cor
bin. Coleman Drayton has established a
quiet home for himself and children at
luxedo, and when Mrs. Drayton marries
Mr. Haig the last memory of the painful
event will happily pass away
MOBILE’S JUSTICES OF THE PEACE,
One of the Men Recently Eleeted In
dicted by the Grand Jury.
Mobile, Ala., Dec. 2—William H. Kra
mer, anew elected justice of the peace,
who has been in office about three months,
was indicted by the recent grand jury,
w'hich is the tlrst that has ntet since Kra
mer went into office. There have been
all sorts of reports in circulation of late
about the irregularities practiced in his
office by Kramer, The indictment charges
Kramer with extortion from Henry Wag
ner, in a case where embezzlement was
charged. Kramer was arrested and gave
bond for his appearance before the city
court. The:.- has been a great deal of
complaint by citizens about the manner in
which justices of the peace in this city
conduct their business, and all sorts of
charges have been heard on the streets
against first one and then another, but
this is the first time within a number of
years that one of the number has been
indicted. It is safe to say that some sort
of bill will be passed at the oresent ses
sion of the legislature taking away from
the justices a large part of their Juris
diction.
SOUTH CAROLEVA’S GOVERNOR.
Upwards of 2,000 Offices Are at His
Dinponal.
Columbia, S. C„ Dec. 2.—Gov.-elect El
lerbe is already being beseeched by office
seekers. He has upwards of 2,000 offices
at his disposal. This includes the appoint
ment of all the magistrates, master In
equity, county auditors and treasurers,
constables, etc.
In the case of the auditors, masters and
treasurers, while he is not compelled so to
do, he will regard the party primary nom
ination. The incoming governor had no
opposition in his selection and it was prac
tically unanimoust..,
He announced a few days ago that he
intended to reward all recommendations
from legislative delegations and had de
termined only to appoint the best men in
the community.
The governor also has the power to put
the metropolitan police law upon any city
or town. This law has been exercised only
once. The present governor applied it
to Charleston. Ellerbe promised in the
campaign to remove the police, which has
so ranked in the bosoms of the people
of Charleston, If they would see that the
dispensary law was enforced In that city.
A personal friend of the governor-elect
says he will carry out this promise, come
what may.
COLLEGE YELL NEEDS EDITING.
Three Indiana Student* Expelled
For nn Atrocious rroduetion.
Anderson, Ind., Dec. 2.—Anderson Nor
mal University faculty held a special ses
sion last night and, after a full investiga
tion, expelled three students and repri
manded several more for taking too much
liberty in making a college yell which was
used for the Thanksgiving foot ball game.
The ye.. was a wild and woolly one
throughout, warranted to win a game by
itself, and it wound up with a stanza which
the telegraph company refuses to carry.
The faculty especially objected to a ref
erence to a warmer climate, and began in
vestigating as soon as their modesty was
shocked.
Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by ell
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase. that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Cos. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla as does the cure of

,the blood affects the condition of all the

bones, muscles and tissues. If it is im
pure it cannot properly sustain these
parts. If made pure, rich, red and vital

health instead of disease, and repairs the

and was owned by Mis. Margaret Lee. Mrs.

Manufacturing Company vs. the steamer
Olivette of the Plant Steamship Company,

the tobacco was damaged on the steamer
between Havana and Key West.
The case was tried last week in Key

that the damage was caused by the perils
of the sea, and not through any defect in
the vessel or negligence on the part of the
officers in command or of the owners of
the vessel.

After that is accomplished the next
thing is the frame for the glasses. It
must fit perfectly in every respect, giving
the wearer comfort and ease. Many
lenses fitted by oculists do not accom
plish their object on account of misfitted
frames. We have made this point a
study and measure every point of the
face so there can be no mistake.
Bear this in mind. We examine your
eyes free of charge and fit them with
the proper glasses, and you pay no more
than you would buying the same grade
of goods over any dealer’s counter.
