Whipped a Woman to Death.
A special dispatch to the San Fra*
'• cisco ('n/r frona Columbia, S. C., sayt
- .lames Swink, whose people hav
j wealth' and large interests in cotto:
j mills At Woodruff, Spartanburg Co., i
| in jail at Spartanburg, charged wit
* j the murder of Mrs. Wilhelmina Peai
9 son, a very well connected women ati<
- a leader in society, by whipping her t
death.
The affair of the whipping has beei
kept from the public since its occur
' renee in the middle of Septembe
> through the influence of Swiuk. I
i probably never would have beei
. known had not Mrs. Pearson, afte:
I terrible suffering for six weeks, sue
cumbed to the injuries iutiicted. Tin
flail story is not yet known, but thi
main facts are that Swink discoverer
Mrs. Pearson, who was a constant visi
tor at his house aud a friend of th(
ladies of his family, was bringing notes
from a young man in Woodruff to out
of the ladies. The contents of the note
intercepted by Swink may be made
known at the trial. They can be con
jectured now by the course pursued by
Swiuk.
He had barely made the discovery
when Mrs. Pearson called. Going into
the parlor armed with a stick or horse
hide, he beat the woman until she be
came unconscious. When she revived
he ordered her to leave Woodruff and
she went on the next train to Gastonia,
N. C. There she was joined by her
husband, who had been spending a
month in the North Carolina moun
tains. She became ill on reaching
town and after suffering for six weeks
died of her injuries. Her husband
testified before a committing magis
trate that his wife’s body was blackened
by the strokes of the stick. The young
man who wrote the notes was warned
in time to escape and is now in the
West.
Swiuk does not deny the whipping.
His defense is that it did not produce
death. The whole community is con
siderably stirred up.
Death Follows the Bite of a Skunk.
A dispatch from El Passo, Texas
says:
In the greatest imaginable agony
from hydrophobid spasms, Silas Car
son, a prominent Arizona ranchman,
died, ai the Sisters’ Hospital here this
morning. The disease was the result
of a bite from a skunk received three
months ago. When brought here by
his physician last night he was pale
and haggard, though entirely con
' - H* talked e—* - while
and remarked that he was sure to at*
and nothing could save him. A few
minutes later he was seized with a fit,
which was repeated about every twe
hours until his death this morning.
With each attack he was less rational,
and at times wild, even vicious.
Carson owned a cattle ranch neai
Wilcox, A. T. Three months ago h«
was camping oat on the round-up in
the mountains. One night he fell
something under his blanket, and
when he felt to learn what it was a
large skunk seized him by the Unger
Thinking there was no danger he paid
little attention to it and the wound
soon healed up. Four days ago th«
wound broke out again, and a strang*
feeling overcame him. He went to *
physician, who pronounced it hydro
phobia, and ordered him here for ex
pert treatment.
Another person was bitten by tlx
same skunk and is here being treated
with a madstone. The hydrophobia
skunk is common in Arizona and New
Mexico, and many victims have beer
here this year for treatment.
There is more Catarrh in this sectior
gf the country than all other disease*
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scienc*
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease, and therefore require*
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is th«
only constitutional cure on the market
It is taken internally in doses from 1(
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces o
the system. They offer one hundre*

The question of the spontaneon
combustion of hay has recently beet
investigated by one of the officials o
the Weather Bureau, who states tha
fermentation within moist hay ma;
raise the temperature to 374degrees F.
' at which temperature clover hay wil

1 taueoua combustion is a rapid and com

Tar Weed.
- j The well know tarweed, .which grow
: j wild to a great extent in this county
a especially in the mountain regions, i:
i now being cultivated in the valley sea
s tions of California with profitable sue
i cess. It is believed the mountain pro
- duct is better than the lowr Valley prod
i ucts, as it is a hardy weed and growi
j better in the cooler climate of the higl
altitudes.
i In years past, it has been used ex ten
-• sively in cough medicines, cordials
• bitters and other compounds with gooc
i success. It is used very extensively
i for medicines, the greatest demand be
• ing for the mountain variety. Down
• in Colusa county the farmers are cut
■ ting and shipping tarweed to San Fran
! cisco, where it brings them $30 a ton.
A Modesto paper has lately claimed
that tarweed is a flrst-olass forage plant.
A Tulare farmer is said to have car.
ried his stock through the draught
seasons on that feed, and the State
University experts have found by
analysis that itcontainsmorenutrative
elements than most of the cultivated
forage plants. A Modesto farmer cut
fifteen or twenty tens of tarweed and
fed it to his cows for several weeks.
He finds that the cows eat it readily
and fatten on it. On the other hand,
its tendency is to “dry the cows, and
the milk will not produce butter.”—

What Would You Give
To be cured of catarrh? If you or your
friends have this disease, you know7
how disagreeable it is. Its symptoms
are inflamed eyes, throbbing temples,
ringing noises in the ears, headaches,
capricious appetite, and constant dis
charge of mucus. Fortunately its cure
is not a question of what you will give,
but what you will take. If you will
take Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great
constitutional remedy, which thor
oughly purifies, enriches and vitalizes
the blood you may expect to be com
i pletely and permanently cured. The
| good blood which Hood’s Sarsaparilla
makes reaching the delicate passages
of the mucous membrane, soothes and
rebuilds the tissues and ultimately
cures all symptoms of catarrh.

have you done for the folks back East?

The Jersey meadow* rarely come In
for anything but abuse.. Suburban
travelers who are carried over that
marshy stretch of land twice a day
grow to look upon it as one of the
hardships of their day's journey. At
j times they provoke condemnation no
less pronounced than the kind usimlly
directed toward Hunters' Point. It
was this same stretch of reeds and
grass that gave rise to a conundrum
that was very popular for awhile in
front parlors nlong the line of a cer
tain New Jersey railroad. The ques
tioner used to ask why the president
of the road was a generous man to
his pntrons. The answer used to be
that he first gave every passenger a
seent crossing the meadows and then
passed all the oranges.
But there is something beyond the
scent of the meadows to attract at
i tention to them now. soys a special
to the Chicago Inter Ocean. They are
abloom from one end to another with
the marshmallow flower, and its dain
ty color adds an exquisite tone to the
rank green that is usually the only
color visible to the eye. Every Au
gust the flowers begin to bloom. This
i year their pink and white blossoms
are scattered over the whole range
of the meadows. Usually they last
throughout the entire month.

Kev. Dr. De Costa delivered a lec
| t.ure before the Catholic summer
| school at Detroit recently, in which
he aroused great enthusiasm by his
declaration that the establishment of
the Catholic church in America ante
dated by hundreds of years Colum
bus’ first landing at San Salvador. He
i set out to show that the Catholic
! church was established here long bo
|. fore the great discoverer even con
ceived his plan. He said':
' "The Catholic church was founded
in America several hundred years be
i fore the time of Columbus, and al
I though said to have been established
. in Greenland in the tenth century
. by Erie, this was only properly a re
establishment, for the church had
lieen in North America long before.
' Home took care of the spiritual needs
j of the people of Greenland and what
, are now known as the New England
) states long oefore the new world was
r known to the old, save to those who
• were in the secrets of the church."
t Dr. De Costa made his deductions
3 j from what he learned about the ad
j vent of Catholic bishops into Green
land in 1220 and-T*4?.
