PROBABLE MURDER STEREffI!LLES.II, Greenville, S. G., Dec. 17. —It is now generally believed that W. T. Davis, [ who disappeared from this city about ; - a week ago, instea,: of leaving on his j own volition, has been foully dealt j with. • Davis conducted a general storo in ! the Woodside village, one of Green-: ville's numerous .cotton mill settle ments, and while the business was in volved to a slight extent there is 110 t- j ing to indicate that the proprietor i should find it necessary to leave the j city. The affair has the element of j mystery about it. Davis was sober, industrious and popular in the village, j S -~. An examination of his effects shows! that all his best clothes were left un-i touched and tile till in the store con- \ I taining quite a sum of money remains | untouched. The stock of goods is now in the' hands of the sheriff, there having been | since Davis' disappearance. Levies to' the amount of $5OO have been made ; upon the stock. , SUGAR TRUST PAYS FINE.

At that place he gave his name as Jackson, claimed to represent the Co lumbia State and took in quite a num ber of the State's subscribers.

President Sends Two Mes Washington, Dec. 17. —The President sent Congress a special message on naval personnel, in which he said: "In my last three annual messages I iiave invited the attention of Congress to the urgent necessity of such legisla tion as will cause officers of the Navy to reach the grades of captains and Rear Admirals at less advanced ages and will give them more training in the important duties of these grades." Continuing, the message said: "The system results in prejudice in favor of promotion of lieutenants in the order cf seniority. Naval officers have more am pi 3 serviqe in subordinate po- itions but* inadequate experience as captains in command of battleships and as flag officers in command of squadrons or fleets. ' "History, modern and ancient," said ;he President, "has invariably shown that an efficient personnel is the great | est factor toward an effective navy." After giving a table showing the ages at which officers attain the rank of captain and rear admiral in the navies : vf the five largest powers, the Presi dent says the facts shown by this table .re startling and earnest attention is invited to them. '"I am firmly of the opinion that un less the present condition of higher commissioned personnel is rectified by judicious legislation, the future of our navy will be gravely compromised. On Public Lands. The President in a special message to Congress on public lands, says: "The developments of the past year emphasize with increasing force the need of vigorous and immediate ac tion to recast public laud laws and adapt them to the actual situation. , "1 am gravely concerned at th.e ex tremely unsatisfactory condition of the public land laws and at the prevalence "■t fraud under their present provisions. • r cr much of this fraud the present laws are chiefly responsible." "The present coal law," the Presi dent says, "puts a premium on fraud, it is a scandal to maintain laws which sound well, but which make fraud a key without which great natural re sources must remain closed." Legislation is recommended giving .he forest service adequate working capital; placing national parks under care of the Agriculture Department, and for government control of public range. mucous surfaces of the system.

It is sta ! tod for the Episcopalians that the i withdrawal is because of no disincli -1 nation to co-operate but because of rather unsettled conditions in two] or the leading Episcopal churches here, also because it is not regarded] there is such need cf an evangelist! campaign as some thought.

Dec. 1-1. — Admiral Mason, chief of the bureau of ordin ance in the navy in his annual report urges the construction of one vessel ou the Atlantic and one on the Pacific, both of considerable size, to be devoted exclusively to carrying ammunition to ultimately have one with each fleet. An increased appropriation is asked for target practice in view of the in crease of vessels in commission. He says unless the lowa, Brooklyn and other vessels are not equipped with modern guns they cannot be consider ed efficient.

NEW DIIIOH TO BE MSP Durham, N. C., December 13.—1n the formation of a new division, by the Southern Railway Company, Durham >vill be made headquarters for the North Carolina railroad, which will be known as the Durham division. Mr. G. V. Payton will be made superin tendent and Mr. A. V. Shelton chief dispatcher. The office has formally been located at Greensboro. Besides the chief dispatcher and Sir. Payton the superintendent, there will be some ten or more clerks. The offices for these men will be lo cated in the Durham Trust building, as there is no room for them at the un ion statio.ii. The transfer will be made about January first, this is quite an im portant change in railroad circles. Arrangements arc fast being made for the erection of the beautiful new Main Street Methodist church, which will cost $250,000, and will probably be the finest, church in Noith Carolina. The contract has been awarded to Mr. George W. Kramer, of New York city, and the plans and specification have been submitted several weeks. Short ly after the official board decided to build the church, they visited several northern cities, in order to get to gether the ideas of handsome church edifices. On this trip they visited a number og fine churches and made notes of what they wanted. The old church will remain as a memorial tc the late Washington Duke, but will be used by the Christian congregation. Possession will be given as soon as the new church is completed. It is expect ed the work on the foundation of the new church will begin shortly after the first of January. The building occu pied the lot purchased which is located on East Chapel Hill street, has already been moved. This is the old home place of the late Col. W. T. Blackwell. The lot contains about three acres anil will make a beautiful site. Owing to the delay in rendering the decision in the Hodges case that was tried before the Supreme Court sever al weeks ago, the people cf Durham have formed the general opinion that he will be granted a new trial, in fact it has been intimated by the attorneys representing the murderer. The Hodg es case probably has created more in dignation among the people cf the sur lounding country, than any case ever tried in Durham county. The people have always been in favor of hanging the murderer, who committed a foul murder, by killing his wife in a bru tal manner, and after shooting boost ed that he was prowd cf the deed. The case will be decided by the Supreme Court judges within the next few days. II is likely he wiil be granted a nsw trial. Professional Sards D!?. J. K.

When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state of purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health because pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however' the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of its strength, disease germs collect, the trouble is manifested in various ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence cf sour? irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the.result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated bloc,l disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. These impurities and poisons' find their way into the blood in various wavs. Often a inactive condition cf the sy:-:tc:n, and torpid state cf the avenues cf bodily waste, braves the refuse ;..:d waste natters to r ."•••d , form uric cud ether /hich are taken up by the blood and distributed ' throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning cf the blood ; we also breathe the genus and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Sonic are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the bod}' is sure to suffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S. is the best remedy ever discovered. It goes down into the circulation and removes any and all poisons, supplies the healthful properties it needs, and completely and permanently cures blood diseases of . every kind. The action of S. S. S. is so \ thorough that hereditary taints are removed & and weak, diseased blood made strong and $ healthy so that disease cannot remain. It cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores PURELY VEGETABLE Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious ■ Blood Poison, etc., and does not leave the slightest trace of the trouble for futur-e outbreaks. The whole volume of blood is renewed and cleansed after a course of S. S. S. It is also nature's 1 greatest tonic, made entirely of roots, herbs and" barks, and is absolutely harmless to any part of the system. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class drug stores.
