OUR HONOR ROLL.
Physician's Tragic Death.
Columbia, S.C., June .2.
News reached the city late last
night of the tragic death cf Dr.
J. D. F. Lever, a well-known phy
sician of the county, 78 years old,
who was drowned at Cedar creek
ford, near his residence, while at
tempting to cross the creek in a
r Bwollen condition iqga buggy with
nis sister, Mrs. John Edwards, of
Florence, who had an infant in
her arms. He was on his way
home with her from Bookman
station. Mrs. Edwards and her
child were rescured by Dr. Lever's
son-in-law, Capers Lever, who
had jgfit had a narrow escape from
drowning at the same point. t Hie
own buggy had been overturned
and he had just gotten it out
wheixhe was called back by the
cries for help of Dr. Lever and
"r TJtJ t-v T
iura. xuuwaraa. ur. Lievei was
crippled from a wound he received
in the civil war, and for this rea
son and because of his age, he
was not able to extricate himself
from the current. He had been
fording the creek at this -point
for 60 years, but on jthis occasion
the trace broke in midstream.
Dr, Lever was a native of Fair
field county. Columbia, S. C.',

Another Decision on Whiskey.
Another U. S. Supfeme Court
decision on the liquor traffic is
interesting. The case went up
from Kentucky, and the facts are
as follows: Cincinnati liquor
dealers secured the names of all
all the booze . artists in a dry
county. Then they shipped quan
tities of whiskey to an express
office, consigned to these men
whose names they had, C. O. D.
The, artists were notified and all
they ba1 to do was to walk up
and pay for what they wanted of
their especial shipment and take
it out. -The effect of this was to
- make a saloon out of the express
office in prohibition territory.
The State courts ruled that the
express company was a vendor of
liquo contrary to law, but the
Supreme court reversed this and
said it was inter-state commeroe.
This is! as unfavorable to the right
of a State to control the traffic as
the South Dakota decision was
favorable. Ex.
Here's Good Advice.
O. S.. Woolever, one of the beat
known merchants of Le Raysville,
N. Y.f says: "If you are ever
troubled with piles, apply Buck
len's Arnica Salve. It cured me
of them for good 20 years ago."
Cures every sore, wound, burn or
abrasion. 25c at all druggists.

In the Watchman's Cifculatioi.
With only a desire, topresent
facts, in , the ,way of shop-talk
we 'have habitually publishedca
list of the good people who sub
scribe for and p it f.or the W a.tch
man. This is very .poor time of
the year to secure subscriptions,
but as will be noticed by the sub
joined list our efforts in this di
rection have rot ' been entirely
fruitless. With these, and other
recent-' additions to our. list, we
feel perfectly safe in sa'.ing that
our lisb is now something like
three to one aB compared with any
other paper published here or
circulated in this town or county,
hut the majority of our names are
those of our rural population,
among our very best people, peo
ple who have sufficient ability to
know their wants and means to pay
for what they purchase. The at
tached names, in a sense, tell
their own story much more elo
quently than any mere array of
words, however nicely they may
be arranged, can. The wide
awake business man will easily
see the meat in this and will hot
be slow to take advantage of the
opportunities to increase his busi
ness which a liberal use of The
Watchman's columns is sure to
produce. The Watchman" is Sal
isbury's oldest, largest and most
widely circulated newspaper.
