Fort Mill citizens rend with pleasure
the announcement u few days ago
that the Stnte highway commission
had agreed to tuHe over t hw,.,public
road between ltoek III11 and Koddoy's
Station; hut the same citizens failed
to rend }n the announcement, or in
any previous or subsequent announcement,
that the highway c run mission
lmd agreed to take over the two miles
of public road between Fort Mill and
tho Catawba river, over which In con.
junction with the road between the
river and Rock Mill, there is perhaps
as much if not more travel than any
road In the county. The fifth district

Speaking of battles", one of tl\e most
unusual conflicts In history took
place on Octolicr 8. IJfih. This was
not a combat hotween monarch and
monarch, fenefnl and general, or.
cyviv between man and man,?It was
i u duel hetwecn a man and a dog.
't'hte strange Incident was a trial hy
combat in which, according to the
* ; '
* ' ' >' . . ? V*". p-*
jf "
custom of the time, the judgment of j
Ood was to decide the Issue and exonerate
the inrtocent party.
Aubrey ilii MontdldUer, a gentleman
of France. In 1361- was traveling
through the forest of Bondy accompanied
only by his faithful dbg, when
he was myateriously nvurdered. and
his body buried underneath a tree In
the wood. For several days the dog
brooded over his master's grave until j
on the Verpe of starvation, he left it I
and returned to Paris. v
When the poor animal arrived in
he city. Instead of going to his old
home ho wont to that of an intimate
friend of Via master's and attracted
attention by whining. barking and
tugging at the man's Knrments. TteI'eving
that something had befallen
Aubrey whom the dog had novcr.loft
In dhis njannor before, the friend allowed
the animal to lead him to the
forest of Hondy to fhe spot where
Aubrey was buried, whoso body he
soon discovered by digging where the
dog seratehed the soil with his paw.
Por a Iota? time tiie identity of the
murderer remained a mystery, then
no" day something happened which
led to the trial. In the streets of
I'nrls the dog came upon the Chevalier
Macnlre and without ni?y warn.'ng
made a vicious plunge at the ?-iievnlier's
throat. So unusual and unprecedented
was this net on the nart
ef the dog. that suspicion was initnediately
aroused against \Ht-iire. who
it was then renicmborecV.had been
one of* Aub-py's bitter enemies.
When ttv> king of i'rnnro was informed
of this incident, ho derided

'udgment rf God. A coord In ply he ordorod

on the day set. both were brought
in the place stated where tho king
and his court had assembled. Tho
man was provided with n innp stick
with which to defend himself, and
'he dop w.'s pivon a cash Into which
?'o eould run for protection.
The hat'lo proved to ho a decisive
one. for the dop dodged Mneaire's
blows, sprang at his throat, and fore al
him to the ground where. In ter or.
ho confessed the crime, the murder
of Au'?rey, to the king.

MiMirits Fvory Winter.
Oklahoma Is the crows' Palin
Beach. From all the neighboring
states they tlock thither to spend the
winter, because the climate Is mild
and the food supply plentiful. Arriving
in the fall, they are in time to
join til trte gathering of tho crops.
The numbers in which they assent
le nro described as unbelievable. In
..tie roost, six miles west of Guthrie,
on Gar creek, there urc more than
1.000,000. Trees, in the late c\oitrg,
when they have gone to bed, are
black with them, the branches burdened
from top to bottom. Across
the border in Kansas, 011 Shoo Fly
creek, is another great crow town.
They gobble the pecans, the peanuts,-the
cotton, the maize and even
lie watermelons. < ?ne farmer had 15
acres of kaiir corn curinK In the
hock, a in! the crows ate it all in
Ihrce days. liurrowlng Into the
hocks they got every seed.
They cat little chickens and hen's
eggs, they roh birds' nests and kill
'he young, they devour .voting rabI
Its, and they fiavc almost exterminated
the quail, breaking up the
nests.
Oklahoma complains that it is
obliged to hoard in late fall and winder
ail the crows which In the suVniner
llnte are residents of nearby
states. It is an expensive business.
One thousand crows, it is estimated,
eat a bushel of grain pOr day, or the
quivulent.
To deal with the pest is difficult.
Crows are wary, and to destroy thorn
.vholesale by poisoning is impossible,
etnuisp they are quick to become
suspicious of halts. At night each
squad of crows has a sentinel on the
itort, ready to give an alarm In ense
>f attack. The crow is probably the
most Intelligent of birds. If it sees
i man go into the blind, and he does
not conte out again, it will sheer oft.

Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three
Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous

Own Story of Recovery,
Paint Rock, Ala.?Mrs. C. M. 8tegall,
of near here, recently related the Col-,
lowing Interesting account of her recovery:
"I was In a weakened condition.
I was alck threo years In bed, '
suffering a great deal of pain, weak, I
nervous, depressed. I was so weak.
I couldn't walk across'the floor; Just
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost, dead. I tried
every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors. Still 1 didn't get any relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I
believe If I hadn't heard of and taken
Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what It did for her.
"I began to eat and Bleep, began to
gala my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trouble
since ... I sure can testify to the
good that Cardul did me. I don't
think there is a better tonic made
and I believe it saved my life."
. For over 40 years, thousands of women
have used Crrdul successfully,
in the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
If you suffer as these womon did, .
take Cardul. It may help you, to9At
