C., March 11. —Since Saturday night Concord has been in a tumult of excitement. A murder, a daring hoid-up and an attempt at high way robbery, and the finding of a ne gro man unconscious and nearly dead ' from the loss of blood on East Depot' street, being the cause of it. The murder occurred last night at I about 9 o'clock on North Georgia av enue. when Jude McGraf, colored, shot and killed Fayette Eury, also colored, i The latter was walking home from 5 church with McGraf's wife, and, meet ing the two face to face on the side-: walk, McGraf called Eury off to a side > and after passing a few words, pulled his revolver and shot him, the ball : taking effect in Eury's breast. McGraf fled and has not been appre hended despite the diligent search i that has been made for him. Eury was removed to a physician's office and while the physicians were prepar ing to remove the bullet he died from the loss of blood. Late Saturday night two young men from Cornelius, Will Cannon and R. A. | Morrow, were held up by two negro i men about our miles out from Concord and at the point of pistols were de- j manded to hold up their hands and j give up their money. Instead of hold- j ing up their hands, Cannon, who was j seated in a buggy next to the highway- ! men, opened fire on thom. The negroes i fled and were given chase without re- j suit. The young men had been to Concord i to witness the performance of the j Clansman and were returning home. j Nothing was heard of the negroes , until Sunday morning, when it devel- ! oped that John Gilmer, a notorious character in this viciniiy.was found at his home near this city, having been shot in the shoulder.

Parks, who lives on the Battle Ground road a short distance west of the wa ter works station, found a basket con taining a baby and a bundle of clothes last night on the porch of his resi dence.

As a train was approaching the gate was being lowered, and the driver of the wagon drove along headlong onto the track and the gate descended just in time to catch the wagon top and j strike the man in the face. He was j knocked from the seat to the bottom of the wagon, but was not hurt and drove on without stopping to see the extent of the damage done to the gate. WIFE FOILS HUSBAND'S PLAN.

She kept quiet knowing that pro testing words would be useless. The doctor drew his money out of the bank the day before he was to buy the boat, and took it home. He left it with his wife and went to work at a livery sta ble, as usual. He returned home to spend the last night before becoming a steamboat owner, but found that his wife had flown with his money, anrl also had converted the household effects into cash and taken that with her. She left word that she would be not be back until the exposition is over, or until her husband gives up the idea of becoming a steamboat owner. HOUNDS TRAIL WOMAN. Bristol, Tenn.

Every weman natuarllv should be, bealthy and strong, but agreat many | women, unfortunately, are not, owing j to the unuatuarl condition of the lives j we lead. Headache, backache and a j general tided condition are prevalent amonght the women of today, and to relieve these condtions women rush to the druggists for a bottle of some preparation supposed to be particularly for them. and containing—nobody knows what. If they would just get a box of Brandreth's Pills, and take them regularly every night for a time, all their trouble would disappear, as these pills regulate the organs of the feminine system. The same dose al ways has the same effect, no matter how long they are used. Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century and are sold in ev-' ery drug and medicine store, either plain or suzar coated. A Wayndotte (Mich.) man has been sent to jail for beating hi§ wife three times a week. Up there they are evidently not disposed to p.ive a man credit for his regular habits.

RHEUMATISM CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles, 1 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 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 have failed to carry off. This refuse matter, coming in 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 an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. 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 S}'stem j is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and i renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign i matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit ing acrid and corrosive matter in the mus cles, nerves, joints and bones, the body is fed and nourished by rich, health-sustaining blood which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. Sv is composed PURELY VEGETABLE of both purifying and tonic properties — just what is needed in every case of Rheu j matism. It contains no potash, alEali 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 i. trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S. S. S. and write ■ us about your case and our physicians will give you any information or I advice desired free of charge and will send our special treatise on Rheumatism* THE SW3FT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, CA» Carolina & Northwestern Ry.
