SOUR STOMACH INDIGESTION Thedford's Block-Draught Highly Recommended by a Tennessee Grocer for Troubles ResnhiBf from Torpid Liver. Bast Nashville, Tenn.? The efficiency of Thedford's Black-Draught, the genuine, herb, liver medicine, ie J , Touched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a grocer of this city. "It Is without doubt the best lirer medicine, and I don't boilers I could get along wlthqpt tt I take It for sour stomach, headache, bad llrer. Indigestion, and all other troubles that are the result of a torpid lirer. "I hare known and used tt for years, and can and do highly recommend it to every one. I won't go to bed without It in the house. It win do all It platans to da I can't say enough fot ItMany other men and women throughout the country hare found BlackDraught just as Mr Parsons describes ? valuable In regulating the llrer to Its normal functions, and In cleansing the bowels of Impurities. Thedford's Black-Draught llrer medtStan Is the original and only genuine. During the last ?<?k ForUdlU^w ; reoriv?ff ji ciMktor>bl? publicity In the dally and weakly praaa of North; Carolina and South Carolina as a re- I suit of the Item in The Times of February 3 quoting- the remarks of a citIsen of the town who again brought forward the proposition, first advanced several years ago, of Fort Hill township withdrawing .from South' Carolina and joining North Carolina. The proposition also has been freely discussed locally since the appearance In The Times last week of the Item and may result In something more tangible than a mere expression of the wtsdom of such a' step by those who would like to see the township become a part of the Old North State, as inquiries are being made in Columbia and Washington^ as to the proper method to pursue te get the matter tinder way; but the consensus of opinion seems to be that the proposition will blow over In a few days and meanwhile amount to nothing more than talk. "People muht have something to talk about," one man yesterday was heard to say, "and as no one now finds it neces nary to put in much time counting hie money, why not talk about this subject? None of us will Never live to see the day when Port Mill becomes a part of North Carolina, but speculation over what might come to the township should the change be brought about is both interesting and harmless and I see no objection to it. Meanwhile let me congratulate the citizen The Times quoted on hit. ideas of free advertising." The Columbia State of Monday carried the following news story onthe subject from its York correspondent: "Not a bit of excitement and only mild Interest has been manifested here in the proposed withdrawal of Fort Mill from York county and its annexation to Mecklenburg county, N. C., which question Is said to be engaging the attention of the township across the Catawba river. With the alleged movement still in the embryo stage, people of the county seat are not inclined to offer Fort Mill nny advice on the subject, being sat- ( Isiled to sit still and watch develop- . rnents. ' "York people do not believe that - Fort Mill wishes to sever the tie# that have connected her with the White Itoao \county and the Palmetto State for so many years without some sober deliberation. Reports emunuting from across the Catawba to the effect that a plebiscite would show an overwhelming majority In favor of the annexation movement ire taken with a grain of salt here. If. however, after due consideration 3f all that Is Involved In the change, Ktirt Mill reaches the decision that It would be advantageous for her to ^ust hor fortunes with Mecklenburg, ifork may say, to paruphrase Horace 3reeley's utterance on a more historic occasion', let her go in peace. This question, though, would be one Tor the State to decide, legal opinion being that a constitutional amendment In both South Carolina and North Carolina would be necessary. "The only reason advanced for the innexutipn plan is a geographical one, there being no dissatisfaction with ? the county government or 1 charges of discrimination against the township, so far as Is known here. The town of Fort Mill is 25 miles from York and 15 miles from Charlotte, N. C. The Catawba river has been a barrier to close communication between Fort Mill and the county seat, though the splendid steel bridge over that stream on the road to Rock Hill, together with the Improvement of the highway between these towns, has rendered access to York easier of late than In former years." Negro Boy Kllod. John Glenn, negro boy about 20 years of age, lost his life Sunday afternoon at the hands of another young negro. Mote Moore, on the plantation of W. J. Stewart, two miles south of town. The boys were tussling over the possession of a gun. It was stated, and the weapon was nccldentally fired by Moore. The load of shot entered the body of 31cnn, from the effects of which he lied In about two hours. Carelessness was charged to Moore In the .ermct or the coroner's Jury held Monday morning. Glenn Is said to iave stated after the shooting that t was accidental. It has not yet ieen decided whether Moore will be irosecuted. At a joint meeting of the boards >f county commissioners of York and Mecklenburg counties In Charlotte ast Tuesday the "Buster" Boyd site was definitely agreed upon as the ocation of the Catawba river bridge :o be built Jointly by York and Mecklenburg counties. The bridge is o cost $92,000. two-thirds of which s to be paid by Mecklenburg county ind the remaining third by York jounty. Construction of the bridge will be begun as soon as the Meckenburg authorities are able to get a ourt decision upholding the constitutionality of a bond issue which that county finds it necessary to float to finance its part of the project. The bridge will be about ten miles up the river from Fort Mill. It is expected to open up a considerable i section of Bethel township and cen- J tral York county to direct communi- . cation with Charlotte and other J S'orth Carolina points, but the con- | Uruetlon of a public road to the :>rldgc will be necessary before it can be of general use to the public. i Our Bu We are adding almost i this store.
