THE AMERICA WEEKLY TIMES-KEC'URHEK: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1899,
THINK KILLING WAS MURDER.
DEATH OF JAMES WEATHERFORD
IKVEST1GTAED.
Frisia's of Dead Man Th : .nk He Was
Killed andBobbed-CoronerHolds
Inquest and Two Negroes
Taken into Custody.
The killing of Mr Janies K Weatb
er/ord of Ameri<us, at Abbeville, at
account of which wan given in The
Times-Becordtr yesterday, will take a
■eneational turn if the belief that be
was murdered is fully substantiated.
Such it the opinion held now by his
friends and the authorities there.
,The first meagre reports of the dratb
af Mr. Weatherford, as received by bis
family in Americas on Thursday, were
to the tff ct that he fell from the win
dow of a building in Abbeville, where
hewasstvoik temporarily. Of course
the supt osition was that the fall was
accidental, and Mr. Weatherford's sad
fate was de| lored npou all sides here,
where he was well known.
But another story was brrught here
yesterday b.v friends who went to Ab
beville to investigate the case and cure
Jor the body.
Mr. J. E. Cameron, master car
builder at the Georgia Sc Alabama
(hops here, went to Abbeville, aud af
ter viewing tie body of Mr. Weather
ford, requested that an inquest he held.
Marks on the head pointed to the prob
ability of fonl play, and the evidence
adduced at the bearing rcaulted in tbe
arrest and detent ion of t wo negroes of
that town, s’.sperted of the crime.
Bobbery is tbo only incentive sug
gested for tbe killing.
The entire evidence brought out is
not known here, only the above facts
being reported, tbonch it is said that
a blood-stained club was found not far
away from where tbe body lay. If tbe
evidence points to mnrdet tbe case will
be fnlly and tborongbly investigated
Mr Weatlieiford was a native of Spar
tanbnrg, S, C., and tbe body was taken
there yesterday for bnrial. He was in
tbe employ of tbe Georgia & Alabama
Railway, and was doing some work at
Abbeville for tbo company. It is said
that Mr Weatherford met bis death
daring tbe noon boor, and was prob
ably at his boarding place when be was
killed by others or else tumbled from a
window.
WOMEN
AVOID
OPERATIONS
T IIE very word “operation” strikes terror to a woman's
soul.
Nearly always these operations become necessary
through neglect.
If the menses are very painful, or too frequent and excessive,
get the right advice at once and
stop taking chances. It will cost
you nothing for advice if you write
to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.,
for it, and if you let the trouble
run along it will surely cost you a
great deal of pain and may mean
an operation.
Miss Sarah J. Graham, Sheridanville. Pa., writes: "Df-ar
Mrs. Pinkham:—I had suffered for sev
eral years with female troubles and
doctored until I was discAuraged. I felt
wretched and tired of living. I had dis
ease of kidneys, bladder trouble,
dropsy and bloating, had womb
trouble and a lprge tumor had
formed: in fact all my organs
were out of fix.
Seeinga woman's letter prais
ing your remedies, I wrote to
her and she begged of me to try
it, telling me all that it had done
for her. I bought six bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and now cannot ex-
I’iY press my gratitude to you. The
tumor began to come away in
pieces and I got better all the
time. I believe now that I am
entirely cured.
“My doctors could not believe
it at first, as they all had told me
that my case was a hopeless one,
and no human power could do me
any good. They were astounded.
If I can say anything that can
help other women, I shall be
glad to."
It is not safe to wait until the
last moment. Head off trouble
by prompt attention to it. Don’t be satisfied without Mrs.
Pinkham's advice.

THE ADVANTAGE OF FACTORIES
'Why Griffin Beat State on Price of
Cotton.
Within the past day or two Griffin
baa paid TJ cents for cottoD, nearly
a cent more than other markets
were able to pay for the staple. There
is bat one reason for this, and
that is tl e presence of several big
cotton mills in that city. All southern
mills are buying cotton esgeily, and
tbo demands of these enterprises con
trots tbe prices, locally, tosomeextent.
Tbe Griffin mills, perhaps, needed a
large amount of cotton for consumption
and bad to pay an advanced price for
H. Americas people wbo oppose tbe
bnilding of a cotton mill in this city
might think abont this to tboir fntnro
advantage.

A LUCKY STRIKE IN COTTON.
An Americas firm Made $12,000 Yes
terday.
One of the leading cotton firms of
Americas nude a small furtnue yester
day by tbe rcceut advance in cotton,
selling oat at a profit or more Ihun ■
eent per pound one lot of 2,300 hales
The cotton bad been held for less than
tbreo weeks, ard was closed out yes
terday morning lo Savannah exporting
bouses at the round prico of 7J cents,
netting the Americas thin something
like S12,OCO profit on the transaction
It was a lucky atrike indeed and tbo
local firm, naturally, rejoices muchly
at tbo recent rise in cotton.
“I wish to express my thanks to tbe
manufacturers of Chamliei Iain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy, for
having pnt on the market snch a won
derful medicine,” says W. W. Mat-sin-
gill, of Beaumont, Texas. There
are many thousands of mothers whoHe
children have been saved from attacks
of dysentery and cholera infantum wbo
mast also feel thankful. It is for ssle

School Supplies Galore
During jho past two weeks Holli
day’s book store baa keen thronged
with 'purchasers of school supplies
His new store on Jackson street is
filled with pretty goods of all kinda, aa
wall as school supplies, and in bia new
advertisement tbia morning be tells aU
about it.
A beautiful and costly marble monu
ment to the Confederate dead will soon
be retred in Americas by the devoted
women of this city who for so long
have worked faithfully and zealously
to (hat end—the Ladies Memorial As
sociation and local chapter Daughters
of the Coufederacv.
Tbe monnmeut, which is of Georgia
marble, will arrive here tomorrow.
The order was placed sometime since
with the Monnmeutal Marble Works,
of this city, and notification was re
ceived yesterday that the granite base
and shaft bad already been shipped.
It should arrive here by tomorrow
The shaft w li stand sixteen feet in
height, and in t ms will besnrmonnted
by the bronze fi, ure of a Confederate
soldier.
The ladies only bad sufficient funds
to pay for tbo monument now, but hope
in time to seenre enongh money for
the purchase of a bronze figure to place
upon it
The monument will bo unveiled
on April 26th next, with appropriate
ceremonies,
Tbe location of the monament has
not yet been determined, and wilt be
an interesting question. Several fa
vorable points near the business centre
have been suggested, and it may bo
that tbe ladies can odd materially to
their monument fund, now almost de
pleted, in determining the location. It
will indeed be an ornament to tbe city
and one of which all may fetl proud.
PEOPLE ARE GIVEN A CHANCE
NEGRO BRAKEMAN IS INJURED.
To Get in the Swim While the Bar
gain Tide is Flowing.
The upward price of cotton has set
at “flood tide” the drygoods market.
See the maniflcent offerings George
D. Wheatley is making in bia grand
display advertisement elsewhere in
The Times-Recorder this moruiog. If
yon would get your dry goods, notions
and dress goods novelties cheap you
mast listen and heed the old adage;
"rbeieisa time in the affiirs of all
men which, if taken at tbe flood, leads
on to fame and fortune.” Don’t for
get, ye wise people, and visit tbe dry
goods emporium of George D. Wheat-
ley this week. Siieti a price list as he
offers is seldom 'set before the people.
The Central Railway’s management
is trying to introduce tobacco cultnre
along the system. There is money in
tobacco—big money. Georgia’s soil
aud climate are suitable, aud fertile
lauds will produce immense yields.
The cost of making a crop of tobacco
averages about $33 an acre and tbe
growers make clear profit above that
from 360 to $160 an acre.
Tobacco culture has changed large
districts in the Clrolinss from poor
commun-ties into prosperous sections
Great changes have occurred there in
teu years The tobacco crop brings a
large amount of money into the agri
cultural sections.
E. II. Hinton, traffic manager of the
Central, is sending out to the farmers
along the Cenlriil, literature bearing
on the cultivation of tobacco, Iu a eir
cnlar letter t> the company’s agents,
tne truffle manager suggests to them to
interest farmers in tobacco growing,
j " * There is l-o <1 out it whatever," he
says, “that if farmers generally would
turn their attention to tobacco plant
ing, they would find that the returns
therefrom would amply repay them for
the venture."
Tne Central will send a tobacco ex
pert at its own expense to any point on
irs lino where a number of farmers
will jointly guarantee to plant as much
at 200 acres in tobacco, in order that
they may obtain full information in
regard to tbe best methods of planting
and raring for tbe crop while it is
maturing.
It will soon be time to prepare the
tobacco beds, which should be done in
November, and the seed shonld bo
sown in December and January.

Mr. Henry M Bird, one of Sumter's
successful yonng farmers, was in town
yesterday. Asked abont the amonnt
of bay saved on his farm this year Mr.
Bird replied modestly that he had
harvested "only two hundred b»le«, as
that wav as much as be needed. ” Two
bnndred bales of bay is an immense
quantity, but the lot cost Mr. Bird
very little and will greatly help out
his feed biil next spring. But in ad
dition to this 200 bales of bay, Mr.
Bird has a hundred bales of cotton
stored in the warehouse here, which
will be sold when he and not tbe specu
lator thinks the price high enough.
