Gaffney,July 27.—Mrs. Nancy Ia>d- ford, 74 years of age, was instantly killed today on the national highway near Blacksburg, when the car in which she was riding turned over when a car loaded with negroes stand ing on the side of the road suddenly backed into the road, as James Lilly, who was driving the Ledford‘car, at tempted to pass the negro car. Mrs. Ledford’s death was instantan eous and was caused by a sharp piece of the broken wind shield which pene trated her head. The negroes drove off at a fast rate immediately after the accident, and Sheriff Wright and lis deputies are looking for them. Mr. Lily was severely bruised on an arm and was taken to Blacksburg to the residence of D. W. Carlin, where le gave a statement of the circum stances surrounding the accident. Jesse Murray and his wife, who is a daughter of Mrs. Ledford, were also in the car but were unhurt- ive in Greenville, andwere on tneir way to Blacksburg to spend the day with Mr. Carlin, who is a relative of Mrs. Ledford. The accident occured ’about 12:30 o’clock, and the body of Mrs. Ledford was left at the scene of the accident, while Coroner Parker held an inquest over the remains. There is a low rock wall on the side of the road and Mr. Lilly in trying to avoid a collision wth the negro car ran over the waH, which caused his car to turn over. This is said to be the third accident at this point today. TAKE YOUR CHOICE. ANOTHER MILESTONE. MERCHANT FARMERS. valuable WASPS.

This is based oh the fact that hot weather is hard on a teething child. One of the most famous children’s specialists says that a healthy child in teething may be fretful and sleep poorly for a few nights, may show loss of appetite, and slight fever, and may drool, but such spells should only last three or four days—and most of the symptoms commonly attributed to teething come from indigestion due to wrong food. For children’s indigestion, there’s nothing more effective than Livolax, and they like to take it. You can get a good sized bottle at the drug store for 80c.

Of all the news today, for perma- SB ‘tient value nothing is more important SS than the importation by the State of sss Ohio of seven thousand wasps from 7-31-4tc prance. These peculiar French wasps | ' are brought here to fight the corn borer. They and their children’s children might save the country hun dreds of millions a year. United States ceases issuing Treas ury savings certificates and stamps that have paid 4(4 per cent. The Government can borrow money from big banks and financiers at a lower rate. So why pay 4(4 per cent to the llltle people? What about the high minded, mag nificent, unselfish, patriotic desire to “cultivate thrift in the masses”? Did thut die suddenly when interest rates fell? Did the Government want to help the masses, or only want the savings of the masses? The prosperity outlook is cheerful, even for the fanners, something that couldn’t be said a few weeks ago. “Ten dollar pork,” which means $10 a hundred for hogs on the hoof, is in sight. That’s due to the high price of corn. Pork is corn trans formed in the pig’s digestive appa ratus. Fanners that raise the pork also raise the corn. They'll get the money. And cattle are going up.
