Eason, overseer of (he finishing department of . the Fort Mill Mfg. Company, 1 came near losing his right hand As the result of an accident at the mill Monday morning. Mr. Eason was engaged in operating one of the machines, known as the calendar machine, on which the cloth passes between two i heavy iron rollers. A piece of cloth had been torn olF and in reaching for it, Mr. Eason's right hand was caught and drawn between the heavy rollers. It was several minutes before he could extricate himself from this position and during that time suffered intense pain. Mr. Eason at once sought a physician and it was found that the fiesh from the four fingers of his right j hand had been almost entirely! stripped off back to the first joint and that his entire hand I was badly bruised. Fortunately j the bones were uniniured. und. 1 while Mr. Eason will have a very sore hand for several weeks, he and his friends are thankful that he escaped what came so near being a permanent injury. Whou you have a cold you may ho sure J that it has been caused indirectly by constipation and consequently you must lirst of all take something to move the bowels. This is what lias made Ken nedy's Laxative Congh Syrup so sueeessful and so generally demanded. It does not constipate like most of the old fashioned cough cures, baton the other hand it gently moves the bowels and at the same time heals irritation and allays inflammation of the throat.
