Tried, in
About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on iny check, and the doctors pro
nounced it cancer. I have trietf a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tncy applied
was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. 8. bad done for others similarly afflicted. 1 procured Home at once. Before I had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. Bly general
health had been baa for two or three years—l han a hacking cougn ana spit blood contin
ually. I had a severe pain mmy breast After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. 1 would advise
every one with cancer to give S. 5. S. a fair trial.

Memorial Windows for the Academy.
Editors Sentinel :
It has been suggested that we bon
or the memory of the most liberal
contributors, by using windows of
stained glass, with one name or each
window, representing about twenty of
those whose desire to do good will
prompt them to help in this noble
work.
While this offer is not confined to
citizens of this town or county, we
would bo glad to have a goodly num
ber of tne old settlers, whose heads
purehauco are frosted o’er, but whose
hearts each have a tender spot and
are always ready to respond to every
good cause.
Should this scheme meet with gen
eral favor, the plan will be more fully
set forth in tiie next issue of Sentinel.

MURDERERS OU A BOY STRUNG UP BY A
MOB IN CAROLINA.
Columbia correspondent of Augus
ta Chronicle, Sth inst.: A special
from Yorkville, S. C., to the Register
says: This morning about four o'clock
a body of armed men, some 60 or 75
in number, visited the jail al this
place and demanded the keys of
Sheriff Glenn, who declined to de
liver them, whereupon the doors
were battered in by the mob.
Several of the company then forced
their way to the inner cells where six
prisoners, who were recently brought
from Columbia, charged with the
murder of young Good, were confin
ed. Having selected five out of the
six the mob carried them out a mile
from the court house, where they
hung them to trees with plow lines.
Their names are Giles Good, Printy
Thompson, Bailey Dowdle, Dan
Roberts and Mose Lipscomb. The
lynchers were not disguised.
In the Court of General Sessions
to-day Judge Pressley charged t e
grand jury that while such cases are
to be deplored, yet, like in the Edge
field case, it would be difficult to con
vict any one through the courts. He
said the, law should be changed ho as
to allow sheriffs to summons a posse
sufficient to guard their prisoners.—
The lynchers are not known and no
steps have been taken to identify
them. •
The bodies of the five negroes wete
taken charge of and buried by the
county authorities. The lynching
was quietly executed and showed
thorough organization on the part of
those engaged in it. John Lee Good,
the murdered boy, was twelve years
old, the son of Win. Good, a promin
ent farmer of York county.
On the 30th of last November lie
detected several negroes stealing cot
ton from his father’s field. They set
upon him and beat him to death to
TT ci’iiim, 1$ 1 23 n Yenr in Advance
prevent his informing on them.—*
I Mose Lipscomb, Dan Roberts, Bailey
Dowdle and Printy Thompson were
' suspected and arrested.
Printy and Dan confessed that they
did the killing and implicated the
others. Subsequent investigations
showed that these negroes belonged
to a large band who were bound to
gether by secret oaths for the purpose
' of robbery, and to kill anyone who de
! tected them in the act of stealing.
A sad chapter in this drama cultni
' nated yesterday in the committal of
the father of the murdered boy to the
Lunatic Asylum on a warrant of lu
nacy, while the condition of the
mothers mind is said to be but little
better.

Miles of Eggs and Myriads of C'hiekeu.
Walton News: During the past
week, so Capt. C. F. Moss tells us,
there w< re brought south on the G.
J. A S. It It 11,400 dozens of eggs
ami 8,100 chickens, ami it wasn't a
good week for chickens ami eggs,
either. Think of it ! 1,900 dozens of
eggsand 1,350 chickens shipped per
day; and for a good part of the year
it is just about that week inn id week
out. Os course the hotels and board
ing houses use this home produce.—
Perhaps the eggs are not more than
middle-aged at the worst, but ti e
breast-bones of some of the feathered
tribe arc too sharp to whet one's ap
petite on.
Contents of a Confederal® Musket
Concord Monitor: Charles Folsom,
of BoscHweii, traded recently with J.
Edwin Gage, the gunsmith, of this
city, for two old army muskets, which
were called in the trade worth about
$1 each. Folsom took the muskets
home and offered to give one of theta
to a neighbor for a day’s work. The
night before ho was to get rid of it
he set about fixing it up a little, in
the course of which ho detected a
rattle about the stock. In socking
for the cause of the noise he removed
the lock, then the barrel, and finally
the strip of iron on the butt of the
slock This disclosed the secret The
butt had been neatly Hollowed out,
making a good sized treasure box. In
it were six 50c silver coins, three 25<j
ones, two S2O bills of Confederate
money, a musket ball and a letter.
The letter was written by the wife
of a Confederate soldier to her hus
band, and described a visit of the
Yankees a short time before, and the
capture by them of her father. Its
sentiments were ovi lently those of the
women of Confederacy. It spoke of
returning the money he had sent her,
as she could do nothing with it and
this was doubtless the money found
with the letter.
The musket was purchased with a
lot of others, and had evidently been
captured after its bearer had fallen in
battle.
