He had been slightly lame for a and had been sent out to the stable to recuperate. The unusual rest made him feel like prancing and ca vorting over the yard. Suddenly as he turned his feet went out from under him and he fell with a crash.

Following the conference here on Monday between Chairman Carlisle, of the Investigating committee, and At torney Nichols, it was announced that the session would be held at Columbia to give Nichols an opportunity to give his version of his negotiations with Reed. But Nichols has not waited for the committee hearing to give part of his story. He has issued a statement in which he calls Reed a “dirty liar.” .Nichols says: “I notice in a local paper that Mr. Reed says he has a telegram w-hich shows that Governor Blease accepted the $15,000 bribe which they say was offered They say further that the telegram tells Reed, alias Porter, to hurry on South and wind up the deal and pay his money and get his par don. "I wish to saj- that this is one of the dirtiest lies that has ben published in connection with this outrageous re flection on the governor and myself and I can not allow it to go unnoticed even until the committee meets again. "Mr. Reed has been summoned by Senator Carlisle at my request to ap pear before the committee when I ap pear and it is up to him to produce such a telegram from me or admit that he has lied in this as well as in other parts of the transaction. “I have in my possession the only telegram which Porter received from me after I left Spartanburg, which telegram will be introduced by fne at the hearing before the committee.” The telegram, Nichols says, was as follows: “Things do not look good. Come to Spartanburg at once." For soreness of the muscles, whether induced by violent exercise or injury, there is nothing better than Chamber lain's Liniment.

COMPTROLLER TO BE GIVEN PRIVILEGE OF A HALF-PAY PENSION Legislation agreed upon at a private caucus of the leaders of council will give Comptroller J. H. Goldsmith the privilege to retire on a pension of half pay, but will disbar three-fourths of the city officials now for pen sions. The changes, which undoubtedly will be adopted, are that an official must have served thirty years Instead of twenty continuously in the city’s serv ice; that he must be 65 instead of 60 years old, and that when an official has served 35 years, the Ust ten at a salary of as much as $l5O per month, he has the right to retire on half pay. The last provision applies only to Comptroller Gold smith. The caucus did not accept the amend ment, urged by some, that the council should have the right to retire any of ficial on a pension, even against his will. Officials are to be retired only on their own application. • ■ - $4,000 FIRE AT MARIETTA. MARIETTA, GA., July 17.—Fire de stroyed the handsome two-story resi dence occupied by H. C.

Formerly she had gone away for several weeks each summer and had enjoyed those several weeks immensely, only to return to the city and find that hot weather lasts more than a few weeks. So this year she planned differently—planned for comfort able living during the whole long summer season. She made of her porch an at tractive little summer home, where she could sew and read and receive her friends and ENJOY living. In this connection we wish to empha size the superiority of Crex Furniture. It is ideal, combining the strength that war rants long service and graceful, artistic lines. It may be had in a green finish or .in a soft brown finish. And this brown finish itself as much for liv ing rooms as it does for porches. There are Crex rockers, chairs, settees, tables and swings. Also, we are glad to announce the arrival of more of those remarkable rock maple rockers and chairs at $2.50. They have rattan seats and backs. The swing that we sell for $5.00 is per haps the best value that we have ever shown. It is of oak, with shaped seat, stained in forest green. We will hang it for you free of charge.
