A carpenter named Major Mur
ray received a (earful fall yester
day.
He waa at work under Contractor
Lassiter, on Mr. Bugono Byrd’s new
residence on Leo street, near the
otty limits.
Mr. Murray earns here recently
from Albany, and la about fifty
years of age. He wtl told recently
by hie cod tractor, Mr. Laaaltcr, that
hie scaffolding was not so strong aa
•it should be, but ho soomsd to think
he waa perfectly safe on them,
Yesterday he put up some props
on tho tower, whloh extends up to
eohetdorablo height, and commenc
ed to nail Oft shingles.
The props broke aud tha foothold
gave w*7, aud befell to the ground,
a distance of about twenty-live feet.
He deceived fearful Injuries from
the fall. Two deep cute ware mad*
by stones or pieces of lumber Just
above one of his eyes, nod a deep
out was made across one of his
arms, and there were numerous
bruises on various parte or bis body.
He was taken up and put ou an
electric car aud sent to his board-
lug house at Mrs. Hawley’s, near
Rees park.
The car on which he was placed
ruus only to the Junction of the
lines on Forsyth street, where
connection Is made with the car for
Taylor street.
Superintendent Rees, seeing It
would bo very painful to transfer
him from one car to the other, or
dered the car to the Taylor street
line, and carried him homo without
change. This was an act of kind
ness that la net often found In rail
road men, aud Superintendent
Rees la due great credit for his
thoughtfulness.
When his boarding house was
reached, Dr. C. A. Brocks was
called lu and dressed bis wounds.
Dr. Brooks said to a Recoruku
man late in the afternoon, that he
did not consider the man
dangerously hurt unices there wore
some Internal Injuries, which might
produce death.

The other day a negro man who
lives ou Mr. Carpenter’s place
few miles In the country, started to
the city with a bale of cotton on his
one horse wagon, aud wbeu he was
crossing the Central railroad track
just below Siimter City a Central

There was the most rapid transit
from freedom to conlioement In the
ehain gang that has ever been
known.
Yesterday morning Arthur Jonea,
colored, thought he would enter the
poultry business, aud soon found
blmeelf In the full poMeaslon of
several fat. bone belonging to
lady living in the suburbs.
He commenced to peddle his
chickens about the atrects, aud In a
short time collided with oflloer BUI
Feagld, and the man in tha blue
coat persuaded him to visit the
ofllce of his houor, Judge Pllebury.
When Arthur found himself be
fore the exeeutlve present:, he
shelled down the oom aud confessed
that the business had been
failure, aud that ha 1
ventured to dispose of
property to which he dtd not have
a grant from tbs government, aud
tha Judge concluded that the chain
gang could use him for about sight
mouths, unless he could scrape up
$100 With which to placate tho
treasury of Bumter.
Ha waa sent away on the after
noon train for tho brtok works at
Coney and by night waa at work In
shackles. He bad committed a
crime, boon arrested, tried, sen
tenced, sent to the chain gang, and
put to work In a single day.
The Use of Quinine
There la no questioning tho fact
that quinine le a valuable medicine
as a tonic, anti-periodic and anti
pyretic, and that Its discovery baa
greatly helped the cause of medi
cine. Btill In a majority of cases
its use Is not altogether satisfactory
bj It frequently deranges the sys
tem, producing headache, dlxxy
feelings, convulsions and some
times even patelyats. It waa the
endeavor of the eminent Dr. John
Bull of Louisville, Ky., to invent a
substitute for quinine, something
that would have all tho good quali
ties of quinine, and yet be entirely
free from its evil tendencies. How
admirably bt eucoetdied I* evl-
■ meed by tbs sstlmatlon In which
gaKgroSisto
best known everybody uses It In
place of quinine and It navar falls
