Or.3 Negro Kills Another.
Monday evening about 7 o'clock
a South Carolina negro having re
cently came into thi3 community
and known as ''Tiddy" Bostian,
shot and almost instantly killed
Frank Harris, usually apeac6ably
inclined resident of this city.
The trouble began when Col.
Harris called at the Busy Bee res
taurant on Council street and in
vited Col. Bostian out. Col. Bos
tian Baid he was busy and could
not come out then, but was final
ly persuaded to go to Col. Harris'
brother's shoeshop in the rear of N.
Boyd s barbershop. As Col, Bos
tian entered the shoe shop words,
shoe knife and a few hot bul
lets took part in proceedings vul
garly called a rough house. When
the sound had died away and the
smoke of battle had cleared Col.
Harris lay wounded from the ef
fects of a few hot bullets which
were suddenly stuck in between his
ribs and died soon afterwards. Col.
Bostian bore numerous wounds
about the head and face as evi-
ence of Col. Harris' skill in
handling a shoe knife. It is said,
as is usual in such cases among
the colored brethren, a "woman
was the cause of it all." Col.
Bostian was arrested, given a pre
liminary hearing and sent to jail
to await the next term of Rowan
Superior Court. There is no talk
of lynching the Colonel.
MODERN METHODS.
How They Have Improved a Standard
Remedy.
In the 17th Century a wave of
excitement swept over England
and France when the medical pro
fession discovered such wonderful
curative elements m the cod liver.
In the 18th Century cod liver
oil was imported and used exten
sively by physicians in this coun
try, but it was found to be adul
terated to a great extent, and use
less heavy oil which enveloped
the medicinal elements, a great
hinderance to its medicinal value.
In 1855 a famous physician
from the Hague went to Norway
and after two years of experiment
and research produced a light
brown oil fromthe cods livers
which was said to be more valua
ble than the Dalo vellow oil, but
the taste and odor was so re
pulsive that it frequently caused
such nausea that it made it un
popular. The most valuable discovery,
however, was later made by two
eminent French chemists, who
after years of reseach discovered
an extractive and concentrating
process, by which all of the medi
cinal, healing and body building
elements of the cod's liver are
leparated frra the bhImi m4
and nauseating all, thio roarer-:
ed medicinal elements combined
with peptonate-of-iron make
Vinol the most seientific and val
uable and liver preparation which
the world has ever known.
Vinol is so rich in the elements
of life that it imparts vigor t all
debilitated and feeble conditi ns
and is unexcelled as a remedy tor
all pulmonary troubles.
