C.. was Victim of Cow ardly Attack From Man and His Son. Wrested Guns From Both of his Assailants by Wonderful Display of Nerve and Strength, Girl Appealed to Him. Union, S. C., Ff*b. I—A very sensa tional hold-up in ■which E. S. Tramell, rupcrintendent of the spinning depart ment at the Excelsior Knitting Mills vas attacked by J. D. Fore, a Ne~*h Carolina mountaineer and his 17-vear o!d son, occurred in South Union lasi night, and as the outcome of this life End death struggle alone in the dark E. S. Tramell disarmed ov ; powered both his antagonists. It appears that Fore had been in til 3 mill under tks influence of liquor During the afternoon he had in?ult~i one of the female operatives, who appealed to Mr. Tramell, and wh?n T'amell remonstrated with Fort Fore drew a knife on him, but Tram til managed to get a box betweei them and then knocked Fore down He then ordered Fore to leave the mill, which he did vowing vengeance on Tramell . He then returned to lnr. home where he armed himsell and his son with shot guns and pre pared to waylay Tramell as he re turned home when the mill closed down. It seems that the son was reluct ant to do this, but he did as his father commanded. * Mr. Tramell having an intimation that Fore might give him trouble went home about dark, and somewhai sooner than usual, and as he was rearing Fowler's store, he saw twc figures in front of him, and a voice from one asked, "Is that you, Tram ell?" To which he responded, "Yes." Immediately the elder Fore stepped forward and levelled the gun at ■framell's breast. As quick as a flash Tramell drew from his pocket a spinning roll, weighing about a half a pound, the only weapon he had and threw that with great force at Fore, striking him in the forehead, and causing him to lose the gun. Then Tramell jumped forward, caught the gun and shoved it between his logs when one barrel discharged. Fore commanded his boy to shoot end he placed the gun against Tram ell's side, when with the other hand Tramell seized the other gun and by a supreme test of strength broke the gun in too, and with the other hand pulled tho other gun from be tween his legs and in attempting to point it forward, the other barrel was discharged, the load singeing Tramell's hair and blowing his hat from his head, part of the gun wad later being found in Tramell's hair. With the boy's gun Tramell then struck the elder Fore and knocked him unconscious and the boy ran away. Tramell then coolly walked off and informed persons at "a near by store that they had better look after Fore. Both of the Fores were arrested and placed in jail last night, and this morning were fined $lOO or thirty days on the chain-gang, the extreme limit the city council is allowed, but the case will be carried to higher courts by Tramell. The incident has caused great ex citement and interest, and Tramell's wonderful strength, and nerve and calmness have been much commented on. It is not known now whether Fore will pay the fine or serve the sen tence, as it is understood that he has | in West Asheville, some property consisting of a seven anu a half acre lot and a four-room house. Which ever he does, he will be immediately thereafter arrested as will also bib boy, as two warrants are now in the hands cf the sheriff charging them v/ith assault and battery with intent to kill, the penalty for which if con victed is from one to five years. CASE OF DR. FOSTER Richmond, Va., Feb. 1. —Governor Swanson has written a letter to the Attorney General instructing him to force the issue putting into office the officers of the Eastern Hospital for the Insane, elected by the board.

Md.. has added an other to the list of similar tragedies, all involving the so-called "unwritten law," that have stirx-ed this section of the country recently. Within a 11* tie over a month there have been three such murders in Washington and vicinity, beginning with the killing of former Senator Brown of Utah by Annie M. Bradley, because he would not marry her. Shortly after the Brown murder came the Byswater tragedy In Vir ginia, in which a young man of social standing was shot to death by the brother of the young girl whom he was declared to have wronged ind whom he attempted to desert a few hours after he had been forced into marriage at the point of a pistol. In the Hubert Posoy killing, the lat est to be added to tne list, the alleged avengers were the mother and the brother of the wronged girl. The mother, Mrs. Mollie Bowie, and her son, Henry Bowie, are now in jail, each attempting to shoulder all the blame and to exonerate the other. Young Posey was met on the road on his return from work by Mrs. Bowie and her son. Mrs. Bowie was seen with a revolver in her hand and her son was seen to have a shotgun. Hubert Posey, according to the tes timony of eye witnesses, did not exhib it any signs of fright, appai ently not tbinking tho woman would shoot. Companions who were with Posey left him talking with the woman and her son and passed on down the road. Clayton Pcsey, brother of the vic tim, came up in time to join in the argument, but left before the shooting. Mother and son upbraided Posey for not carrying out his promises to marry "Sis" Bowie on Thanksgiving night. The young man attempted to walk away but had gone but a short dis tance when he was fired upon by both Mrs. Bowie and her son. He was fo nd dead a short time later behind an old house where he had crawled after being shot. It is the belief of persons familiar with the Hubert Posey had promised to marry "Sis" Bowie and that he actually paid for the license, but experienced a change of mind af ter he had discussed his prospective marriage with his parents. Henry Bowie is known to have worried much over his sister's condition and had several times made threats against Posey. The latter knew of the feel ings the Bowies had toward him and he had been advised to leave the country. Fish pnd Game Men Meet.

REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO., Winston-Salem, N C. >550,000 WALL ORDERED DOWN. Obstruction Adjacent to Park Drive, Rules New York Park Board. New York, Feb. 1. —Because it is cn obstruction within the meaning of the ruling of the park department governing the property adjacent to liiverside drive, the city has asked Isaac L. Rice, owner of the villa at Eighty-ninth street and the drive; to remove the $50,000 7-foot wall and terrace that surrounds his brick and marble mansion. Since 1903 the matter has been in abeyance, but within two weeks the case will be heard in the Supreme i Court. it RHEUMATISM CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles, nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching with the pains of Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing 1 counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment—lT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY. Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This refuse matter, coming iti contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains are only symptoms; and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after aa attack of indigestion or other irregularit} 7 . Rheuma tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life. • S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead __ of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit iug acrid and corrosive matter in the mus cles, nerves, joints and bones, the body is fed and nourished by rich, health-sustaining 9 9 0 blood which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed PURELY VEGETABLE of both purifying and tonic properties — just what is needed in every case of Rheu matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but is made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S. S. S. and write ns about your case and our physicians will give you any information or fid Vice desired free of charge and will send our special treatise on Rheumatism, THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GAm Carolina & Northwestern Ry.
