"Mostly I was afflicted with bad apella of backache. At times 1 felt as if my back would break. I would drag one foot after the other, in a helpless sort of a way, and once I got down in bed. My husband urged me to take Cardui, and I aoon found what a Sne medicine it really was. "When my second child was little, I was in very bad health. I did not pick up as I should have. I was weak and aickly. I do not believa that I would have come through, but for Cardui" ' Tak« IlMdlanrs BLACXDRALX^ ffov CTyr^ipftw^ faK&HBilklO% banc has affixed the stamp of consti tutionality upon the act of the general assembly in providing for a sixty-five niillion dollar bond issue to complete promptly the state system of hard sur- ] faced highways. j Within an hour or two after the de- 'cision became known a public demon stration of joy was staged 'in Winns- ! boro. In scores of other communities, embracing a large majority of the ; counties of the state, there is similar gratification, for there is no doubt about the popularity of the court’s de- : cision. There is no doubt that in the ' great majority of the counties the eco- : nomic and educational advantages of i the early completion of the road sys tem are given their high and true ' value. In The State’s opinion the material ’.niportance of the immediate construc- I tion of the hard surfaced road system I cannot be overestimated. To begin this work just*when our campaign in be half of South Carolina’s great asset in the iodine content of its products is gaming marked momentum would be most timely. And as these two pow- ! erful levers are lifting this state to j the point where it must be seen by the ! people of the country, would come j next year the completion of a great ; power development, whose vast ener- !gy, utilized within South Carolina, I must contribute enormously to South I Carolina’s prosperity. We can contrib ute to its utilization at home by con tributing to the state’s progressive ness. Does it not seem^that the last of the shackles of circunVstances, that once bound so tightly the “Prostrate State,’’ have been stricken off and that South Carolina is finally free to advance to a splendid-future! Surely the advance cannot be stopped; but it should not be impeded or checked even for a month; and most surely not by her own people! For those who honestly doubted the constitutionality of the “bond act’’ by the legislature, and who having deep regard for the Constitution, opposed this measure which the supreme court has now declared constitutional. The i State has full respect and understand ing. To those who opposed the meas- iure not through regard for the Con- Istitution but because they were con tent with their immediate surround ings; were prosperous and had good roads and objected to an excess of their prosperity being used to help poorer people in less fortunate parts of their own state, The State has neither sympathy nor understanding. They are as wrong economically as they are wrong spiritually and ethi cally. No strong county can help a weak county to attain progressiveness and prosperity without helping itself. No great growth can come to those that selfishly stand alone. I South Carolina has suffered more from the division of her people than jfrom the armies of invaders. Is not this a fine opportunity for the devel- jopment of a new spirit—a get-togeth er, stand-together spirit? i The “bond issue case’’ is one in which South Carolinians alone are con cerned.- They will pay and they will ! reap the benefits. South Carolina’s j highest court has rendered judgment. An appeal to the United States su preme court is threatened. It is prob- iable the only result of such appeal j would be to delay; to put for a time a brake upon the wheels of progress and by so doing retard South Caro lina’s prosperity. j In the name of South Carolina we j earnestly ask those who v/ould adopt ! this retarding measure to reconsider I such intention. In the name of South [Carolina we ask for unity instead of division; for co-operation instead of fighting; for the shoulders of all to the wheels rather than brakes upon the wheels. EXHUME BODY OF CHESTER WOMAN Federal Inquiry Into McPherson Death Begun at Kanapolis, N. C. Hold Second Autopsy. Kanapolis, N. C., Oct. 14.—An au topsy was begun tonight upon the body of Mrs. V'irginia Hurley McPher son, exhumed from its grave at China I Grove, N. C., today and brought to a mortician’s parlors here. Several phy- i sicians, including Dr. C. W. Arm strong, Rowan county physician, were present , Kanapolis, N. C., Oct. 14.—Agents I of the United States department of I justice today exhumed the body of ' Mrs. Virginia Hurley McPherson of i Washington, D. C., and tonight or to- ; morrow a second autopsy will be held j to determine in what manner the pret- [ty Washington woman met her death. I Mrs. McPherson was found dead in ; her Washington, D. C., apartment sev eral weeks ago with a pajama cord I about her neck. Death was attributed I to strangulation, but sensationad dis- j closures by a deposed Washin^on po- i lice officer resulted in the arrest of Mrs. McPherson’s husband, who is be- I ing held on charges of first-degree I murder. j Secrecy surrounds the exhumation ('and autopsy, as far as the govern ment officials are concerned. They re fuse to discuss the details of the au topsy, and early today talked of a midnight exhumation, in order to^ avoid publicity. However, the body was taken from the grave early this morning while a crowd of morbidly curious attempted to enter Greenlawn cemetery, being denied admittance by Chief of Police R. A. Mikie of Chine Grove. Mrs. McPherson, the daughter of A. A. Hurley of Chester, S, C., but a for mer mayor of China Grove, was bur ied in the China grove cemetery. Her father had the body removed from a casket from the grave today. The task occupied more than an hour; as one of the handles*<wn (he casket broke, puncturing it and filling it with water.

Built with the sound experience and the broad understanding of modern needs that has made Nash engineer ing a sterling standard of the Ameri can industry, these three entirely new lines of cars, on five wheelbase lengths and in three Nash price fields mark an j advancement in perfection of design ! and performance beyond any previous | accomplishment, and serve to lift mod-1 erate priced motoring to its highest j level of satisfaction. They appear as ' another fulfillment of C. W. Nash’s j undeviating ambition to supply at j moderate cost automobiles which pos-1 sess everything in appearance, per-! formance, comfort and quality offered j by the country’s most costly cars and to develop finer cars as his 37 years of successful manufacturing roll for ward the record of industrial achieve ment. “These new series of motor cars, in our opinion, are most worthy to car ry forward the name Nash and the hame “400,” he said in commenting on the master work of his famous engin eering. department. “They are in ev- i ery way worthy to succeed the first j “400” of which we think and speak! with so much pride—worthy success ors to a"'great success.
