Mr. G. H. Snyder, a well known
citizen of Lawrence, Kan, said :
“ I am now seventy years of
age. About three years ago I ex
perienced a coldness or numbness
in the feet, then creeping up my
legs, until it reached my body. I
grew very thin in flesh, appetite
poor and I did not relish my food.
At last I became unable to move
about. I consulted several dis
tinguished physicians, one telling
me I had locomotor ataxia, an
other that I had creeping paral
ysis. I took their medicines but
continued to grow worse. Almost
a year ago a friend advised me
to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People. Before I had
finished my first box I found they
were benefiting me. I used twelve
boxes in all, and was perfectly
cured. Although it is six months
since I used my last pill there has
been no recurrence of the disease.”
From Lawrence Journal.

VICTORIA PROROGUES
BRITISH PARLIAMENT
Session Terminates With a
Speech by the Queen,
REFERS TO PEACE MEETING
Her Majesty Says tile Conference Did
Not Acc mplish All That Was Hoped,
but That Arbitration Plan Adopted
Will Tend to Prevent War.
London, Aug. 9.—Parliament was
prorogued at 2 o’clock this afrernoon
by royal commission. The house of
lords met and summoned the commons
to the liar and proceedings terminated
with the reading of the queen’s speech.
The queen’s speech contained the fol
lowing statements:
"Mv Lords and My Gentlemen—Mv
relations with other powers continue
friendly.
“The conference summoned by the
emperor of Russia to consider measures
for protecting the maintenance of jieaca
has completed its sittings. Although
the re-tilr. of its deliberations did not
fuliy correspond with the lofty aims
which it was summoned to accomplish,
it nas met with a considerable measure
of success. The institution of a perma-
nent tribunal of arbitration cannot tail
to diminish the frequency of war, while
the extension of the Geneva convention
will mitigate its horrors.”
After a reference to she conclusion of
the Aiigio-French convention on the
subject of the Nile vailey and the Anglo-
llussiun convention in regard to rail
way enterprises in Coma, the speech
continued:
“We have received a petition from a
considerable number of my subjects re
siding in the South African republic
praying my assistance to obtain a re
moval of grievances and disabilities of
which they complain. The position of
mv subjects in the South African re-
ptibiic is inconsistent with the promise
of eqaal treatment whereon my grant
of international independence to that
republic was founded and the unrest
caused there by a constant source of
danger to the peace and prosperity of
my dominions in South Africa. Nego
tiations on this subject with the gov
ernment of South Airican republic have
Been entered iuto and are still proceed
ing.”
Another paragraph deals with the
satisfactory reports of the recovery of
the agriculture and trade of India from
the depression caused by the famine,
but it adds fears are now entertained for
the prospects of the harvests in western
and central India, owing to insufficient
rainfall, though the officials are taking
timely precautions to meet any scarcity.
The speech then reads:
“I regret to add that the plague,
though still confined to the total of 199
areas affected during the winter, shows
no signs of abatement. ”
The speech thanks the commons for
the liberality with which they have pro
vided for the naval and military de
fense of the empire and concludes with
references to the benefits which may be
expected from the domestic legislation
passed.
A RULING OF IMPORTANCE.
Decision by Sneer Affecting Waiver
Note Indebtedness.
Macon, Aug. 5.—Judge Emory Speer,
in the United States district court, has
just rendered a decision of great im
portance. It affects the immense vol
ume of indebtedness upon written prom
ises to pay where the debtors waive the
benefit of the homestead and exemption
authorized by the law of the state, and
the private creditors secured thereby.
A number of bankrupts who had exe
cuted such debts with waiver of home
stead caused their exemptions to be set
apart in bankrutcy and sought their dis
charges, whereupon counsel for the
creditors filed plenary proceedings in
the nature of bills in equity seeking to
stay the discharges until the creditors
holding waiver notes could put their
claims in judgment, either in the stare
court or in the United .States court, this
being the method by which :ke stipula
tion of waiver could be made effective
as a lien binding upon the bankrupt’s
exemptions.
These bills were demurred to upon
the ground that the United States court
did not have jurisdiction to determine
claims against the bankrupt’s exemp
tion.
The ca«e was heard on the demurrer.
Judge Speer, differing from Judge
Newman of the northern district of
Georgia, held that the United States
court- had jurisdiction to enforce, by
suitable decrees, the waiver notes
against the exemption set apart to the
bankrupt.
He stayed the discharges until credit
ors of this class could have their claims
definitely settled, and directed in the
cases before the court that decrees be
entered making the exemptions liable
for the debts due on the notes waiving
homestead ana exemption.

Young Mun Jailed at Columbia For
Tampering With Letters.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 5.—William T.
Crouch, 25 years old, of Silver Street,
Newbury county, loved too well. He is
in jail here awaiting trial for tamper
ing with United States mails. He has
confessed his guilt and will go to the
penitentiary.
According to his confession he loved
Minnie L. Werts of his native town
“better than life itself,” but the affec
tion did not seem to be reciprocated.
Being in the postoffice one day, he saw
a letter addressed to Miss NVerts. Sus
pecting who it was from, he opened it.
William Eddy of Newberry asked per
mission to call. Crouch could not bear
the idea, so he answered the note, tell
ing him he could not, and signed Miss
Werts’ name.
The young lady soon after visited
Newberry and mutual friends asked
her for an explanation of her treatment
of Eddy. Then the light was turned on,
the jealous lover suspected and arrested.

R-ceived in Atlanta.
Atlanta, Aug. o.— The tax digests of

proach, being the very embodiment of
simplicity. His chief characteristics
were his remarkable courage and his
keen political foresight. Nothing ever
daunted him, aud several times he had
been at death’s very door, but be always

several children.
Prominent Farmers of Lexington Are
Placed Uuder Arrest.
Lexington, S. C., Aug. 9 —Three
weeks ago Patrick Bowers, a well-to-do
farmer of Lexington, was driving to his
home from Little mountain, Lexington
county, when his body was riddled and
his head almost blown off by assassins
concealed by the roadside.
It was supposed at first that negroes
did the killing, but there seemed to be
no clew, and some days ago Governor
McSweeney offered a reward of $200 for
the arrest of the guilty parties, with in
formation to convict. That informa
tion was quickly furnished Sheriff
Caughman, who went out into the coun
try with several deputies and returned
with a bag of alleged murderers, which
caused much excitement in the town of
Lexington.
Ten men, driving in their own bug
gies, preceded the sheriff. All are uuder

Recent Mobbing of Elders Discussed
In the Capitol at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Aug. 8. — Ben. E. Rich,
president of the southern states mission
of the Mormon church, with headquar
ters in Chattanooga, called on Governor
Candler yesterday in regard to the re
cent mobbing of Mormon elders in Jas
per county.
The visit of President Rich to the ex
ecutive office was upon official business.
He was closeted with the governor for
some time, but did not ask for protec
tion or for any official investigation on
the part of the state, contenting himself
with explaining the mission of the Mor
mons in Georgia aud giving the doctrine
of the church.
President Rich attributes the assault
upon the Mormon elders in Jasper
county to ignorance on the part of the
people of the teachings of the Mormon
church aud the presence of religious fa
natics. as he calls them, who violate the
principle that accords the liberty of
speech and expression to all.
While the governor has not been
asked to investigate the mobbing of the
elders in Jasper county, President Rich
is himself engaged in getting up all the
information and evidence possible and
he is now busily engaged in this work,
the visit to the executive office being in
cidental to his work of securing inform
ation.

Charleston, Aug. 7.—Lillian Clayton
Jewett, the Boston girl who recently
created a sensation in that city by de
claring that she would come to Charles
ton and take north with her the family
of the iate Frazer B. Baker, who was
lynched at Lake City, S. C., in 1897,
with a view to begnning an agitation
against mob law, has carried out her
design.
Miss Jewett arrived here Friday
morning, accompanied by her mother
and a young man named R. G. Larsen,
who is a Boston journalist. She had
frequent conferences with the Baker
woman and her friends, and as a result
she left here for Boston Saturday after

The Rev. J. L. Dart, a negro minis
ter of this city who has recently spent
some time in Boston, opposed violently
the removal of the Bakers from Charles
ton. He declares that Miss Jewett does
not represent the better class of white
or black people in Boston.

Called Upon For Assistance.
Rennes, France, Ang. 9.—The secret
seession of the Dreyfus conrtmartial to
day lasted from 6:30 to 11:45 a. m. Gen

the streets leading to the Lycee. '
Gendarmes alone performed this duty.

MAYOR TO BE IMPEACHED?
City Council of Atlanta Requests the
Executive’s Resignation.
Atlanta, Aug. 7.—Unless Mayor J.
G. Woodward resigns today, and those
closest to him say he will not, impeach
ment proceedings may be commenced.
By a vote of 17 to 3 the resignation of
the mayor was asked for at a secret
caucus of the city council and board of
aldermen held Saturday afternoon.
Mayor Woodward was charged with
drunkenness several weeks ago, when
impeachment proceedings were threat
ened. At that time the mayor prom
ised to reform, bnt it is now charged
that he has broken faith with the city
council. At the caucus it was inti
mated by Councilman Parks that per
sons who wanted certain measures
passed, to which it was known Mr.
Woodward was opposed, were behind
this conduct.

were pressed still farther back. Per
sons standing inside the entrance hall
of a house within view of the door of

darmes to retreat iuto the interior of the
house and the front door was closed.
Absolutely nobody but police and sol
diers were thus within 100 yards of
Dreyfus when he crossed the Avenue
De la Gere.
The police authorities explain the
rigor of these measures on the ground
that yesterday a few cries against the
prisoner w r ere raised while he was cross
ing the avenue. Not a discordant note
was heard anywhere today.

Noted Woman In Politics and Society
Has Passed Away.
Edgewooo, S. C., Ang. 9.—Mrs. T.
W. Pickens, perhaps the most famons
woman in politics and society who has
ever lived in South Carolina, died at
her home here yesterday. She was
born in Virginia, near Petersburg. Her
mother, Miss Hunt, married Colonel
Beverly Holcomb, both of Virginia.
Her parents moved to the western dis
trict of Tennessee and from there to
Marshall, Tex.
On one occasion Miss Holcomb caused
the Mississippi legislature to adjourn
for want of a quorum. She stopped at
the capitol on a visit and in going away
so many of the young legislators es
corted her to the station and on the
train that a quorum was not left in the
house.
While spending a summer at the Vir
ginia White Sulphur springs she met
Colonel Pickens, who conrted and won
her. Soon after President Buchanan
appointed Colonel Pickens minister to
Russia, and he took his bride to St. Pe
tersburg on a wedding tour. For four
years Mrs. Pickens reigned as the most
lovely and brilliant woman at the czar’s
court. Her husband returned to Amer
ica when his term of office expired and
was elected governor of South Carolina
before reaching home.
During the turbulent times of seces
sion and war Mrs. Pickens reigned in
the governor’s mansion in Columbia,
taking a prominent part in state affairs.
Since that time she has lived in retire
ment in a historic mansion in Edgefield,
beloved for many virtues, among them
charity.
Providence, Aug. 8.—Lillian Clayton
Jewett and the Baker family arrived
in Providence from South Carolina yes
terday. There was no demonstration
at the station. Later a well attended
massmeeting was held.
“De Witt’s Little Early Risers did
me more good than all blood medi
cines and other pills,” writes Geo.
H. Jacobs, of Thompson, Conn.
Prompt, pleasant, never gripe—they
care constipation, arouse the torpid
liver to action and give you clean
blood, steady nerves, a clear brain
and a healthy appetite. H. B. mc-
Master, Waynesboro.
