C., 14. —Chief of Police Boger received a telephone message from the conductor of a southbound freight train yesterday telling him to have several officers at the station to take charge of a negro murderer, who is wanted at Greenville, S. C. Officers Sides, Braswell and Earnhardt went to the station and when the train arrived, they found tlieir man under the guard of Conductor G. L. King and a deadhead fireman, B. C. Defor, both men of Greenville. The negro was brought to the lockup by the Concord officers where he will be held for the Greenville officers, if he is wanted there,, v When he was first asked his name he said it was "Kid" Sullivan, but later stated that his real name was George Roberts. He stated also that about two weeks ago a boy about l£ years old, mysteriously disappeared and that he was suspected of having done away with the young man and was wanted by the Greenville author itits for that offense. A negro fireman on the freight train, by the name of Columbus Dantzler, knew the murderer and identified him as being George Davis, wanted for the murder of a white man at Greenville about the 20th ol last May. The man was killed ana thrown in the river. A man and wo man were accused of the murder and when the woman was convicted she told on Davis causing his arrest. Davis made one statement that he had left home about six months ago and had been in Richmond and Dan ville. He stated afterwards that only two weeks ago his mother and sister advised him to leave, because the au thorities wanted him in the boy case. A reward of sxso stands for his ar rest and if he is the right man it will go to the conductor and deadhead fireman. Chief Boger has communicated with the Greenville authorities and will hold the negro for further develop ments.

Spiritualists of Country In Annual Session Washington, D. 0., Oct. 14. The fif teenth annual convention of the Spirit ualists' Association, which began a five days' session in the Masonic Temple In this city today, promises to be by far the most important meeting ever held by the organization. Delegates representing many states faced Pi evi dent Harrison D. Barrett when he call ed the gathering to order at 10 o'clock this morning. The reports of the sev eral officers were presented and dis cussed at the opening session. . Presi dent Barrett outlined the legislation necessary for the work of the coming year and recommended that steps be taken by the incoming officers to call an international congress of the spirit ualists of the world, either in Paris or Berlin. It is proposed to hold the congress next April, which will be the sixteenth anniversary of the advent of Spiritualism in its present form. Much interest is manifested in the report to be presented by a committtee appointed last year to prepare a defini tion of terms for the Spiritualists of the United States. Ex-Congressman Schirin, of Maryland, is the chairman of this committee. Another important matter to receive the attention of the convention is the question of ways and means to eradicate fraud from the movement as a whole. Contests are probable over the choice of new offi cers. President and secretary arc vol untarily retiring and there are numer ous candidates for these positions. The proposal to raise an endowment fund is expected to precipitate a lively discussion in the convention. Litiga tion caused by contests over the wills of deceased Spritualists is another mat ter of interest to be considered. An attempt will be made to form a closer union with other religious bodies of lib eral tendencies and to bring the Spirit ualists into more harmonous relaton3 with the American Psychical Ressarch Society. Story of Turtle's Gratitude. New York American. James Howard of Montville, N. J., yesterday hied him to the Passaic Riv er with bait and line, seeking bass. He flung his line overboard, and after a while he hauled in many fish. Fin ally, there was a great tug at his line, and he rapidly drew it in. At the end was a big snapping turtle. Howard didn't want the turtle, so he gingerly disengaged the hook and threw Mr. Turtle overboard. A few hours later Howard hooked a big bass which broke the line. In a few seconds a turtle, with the line in its mouth, came to the surface and paddled to the boat, waving a polite Hipper as if to say, "Allow me to as sist you." Howard grasped the line, and after playing the mass a few min utes landed it. But meanwhile the turtle had stolen the bait in a can that lay in the bow of the boat and made off with it. Howard believes the turtle's grati tude caused it to aid him, and, al though he bewailed the loss of his bait, he was thankful to land the bass, which weighed six pounds and eleven ounces.

Thomas A. Edison, the great Ameri can inventor, says: "Fully eighty per cent of the illness of mankind comes from eating improper food or too much food; people arc inclined to over-in dulge themselves." This is" where in digestion finds its beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive or gans cannot possibly (}o the work de manded cf them. It is at such times that the stomach needs help; it de mands help, and warns you by head aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stom ach. Kodol will do this.
