DISCOVKIIEI) BY A WOMJNr
Another great discovery has
been 11 nde, and that too, by a
lady, in this country. "Disease
fastened its clutches upon her and
for soven years she withstood
its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For throe
months she, ?'oui?hed incessantly,
and could not sleep She finally
discovered a way to recovery, by
purchasing of us a bottle of I)r
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
and was so much relieved
on taking first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured.
Her name is Mrs Luther Lutz.
Thus writes \V C 'Jamnick & Co
of Shelby, N C. Trial liottles
free at Crawford Bros' Drug
Store. Regular si/.o 50c and
$1.00. Every bottle guaranteed.
Drive thy business, or it will
drive thee.
One cannot always l>e a hero,
hut one can always he a man.
A horse will live 25 days without
food, merely drinking water. 1
The more honesty a man has,
he less he affects the air of a
saint. i

VAN WYCK ITEMS,
HI
Grass is now engaging the at- g
tention <>f our farmers and they
have no time for entertaining candidates
just at present. However,
they have not been bothered much
by them this campaign; only a
lone, weary, everheatcd fellow,
now and then makes his appearance.
Crops are growing fast, but
cotton is hardly an average and
corn falls far short of what it
| should be, except a few fields that
have been well worked and fertilized
and all things have been
favorable for them. The majority
of our farmers do not give
this great cereal and forage crop,
proper attention and importance
on our Southern farms.
Politics are quiet with us, but
they may not remain so. We look
for liyely times hero of a local
nature. We understand that
Esq Secrest will have opposition
for magistrate in this township,
by one or more other candidates.
Each of these candidates will likely
have a fnvotite for constable
which will help to make things
lively in the election. Our hand
some bachelor constable will offer i
for re-election. He is popular as 1
a constable and has made an <
efficient officer. He has always i
been able to biing in his man <
when he went for him, whether <
he was riding his split foot sorrel 1
or his single footing bay. He is I
also a candidate for matrimony i
and is very anxious to get the i
proper vote.
Mr and Mrs J M Yodei attend- i
Ail Ibntrir*t i?f>nfflr?noA nt Vnrt
Mill last week. Miss Sugar and i
Mr J L Tillman, Jr. also spent i
one day in attendance. All report
a pleasant time and speak in |
highest praise of Fort Mill's <
handsome manner of entertaining '
the conference. I
Mr and MrsK H Massey visit- 1
ed Mrs Massey's parents at Fort
Lawn Sunday and Monday. On <
their return, while crossing the t
Catawba River at Landsford, they i
had the misfortune of upsetting 1
their top buggy and were turned
out in an involuntary bathe. The i
water was not deep, and with the t
exception of drowning several 1
kittens they were taking home }
with them, they got out safe? ?
and felt none the worse by a
slight falling oil in their temi>erature?the
day l?eing very warm.

Van Wyck, July 28, 1898.
Van Wyck ban had fine rains
nd farmers have some very fine
rass to keep them interested in
heir farm work. The cotton and
orn crops are middling fair, but
ardly up to an average at this
ime of ycnr. They have both
iuie and room for improvement.
We saw Bill Do little going to
lis river bottoms, prepared to
vork out his corn. Ho had n
ample of grass scythes, a couple
lay forks and a big hay wagon.
Last Summer he advertised Optious's
crop of corn and hay, by
dating in tho Enterprise that wc
lad to use a mower to clean out
rop. The result of our corn and
lay farming last year, was very
satisfactory. We have been sell
ing corn and hay this spring and
summer and now have a good
supply on hand. Bill is trying
to imitate us in these productions,
rho imitation is good but the
greatest thing about it >s his grass.
Prom present prosjiects he will
inrdly have corn and hay to sell
next spring.

I
t Seven or eight weeks ago Bon
. Gore, who livec? near Olive, in the
I edge of York county disappeared j
, from his home, which gave rise to
i many rumors. Mis wife reportod |
i that white men had been after
: him and she thought they had
1 hanged him. People in this
- neighborhood began to investi.
i gate and found in some wuy that
, a boy at thai place, Gore's son, 1
e we believe, knew something at>out !
t the matter. He was induced to ,
. divulge the secret. He said that
r Gore wm called to the door, when
b Amzi Donnovant and Frank Cas.
sels threw a rope around his neck,
i strangled him, tied his hands and
feet, and threw him in a well rooie
, distance off, the l?oy being sent
i ahead to warn them of any danger
i of being detected. The wife of
t the murdered man seems to have
been in the plot and was probably
i the chief instigator. The boy
s said he would have reported the
9 matter before but had been inti1
midated by threats.
When the well was examined
r the body wus found, tied and in
night clothvs as described by the
l>oy. Of course the body was in
a very bad condition.
