A young fellow rendered desperate by hunger aftor long unemployment and days without a cent/ walked into an A. and P. store, aimed a pistol at the manager and demanded money. Hut the man ager had grit and refused to obey. As the would be bandit found him self challenged actually to shoot there rose before his memory the picture of his father's dead body shot to deatn by a roadside robber ten years prev iously. Instantly it paralysed his will to shoot. He hesitated, btgan to grow appalled at the idea of what he had been about to do, then turned and fled. They caught him, however, and he then explained his queer behavior. Search of the recoifds showed his story to be correct. His father had been killed, as he said, when he was himself only nine years old. Yet there remained -in the recesses of memory many years afterward a child's shocked and awed impression of the grevious thing a robber's pistol might do. This impalpable, long buried item in mental storage sud denly came forth to cancel a hunger driven purpose and arrest the levelled arm. It tbok the grown man by sur prise, shook him from his aim and sent him into headlong flight as if from a horrible nightmare. It saved him from committing a capital crime. '?'Spartanburg Herald.

BETTER FALL BUSINESS Report Says Trade and Industrial Ad. vices Point to Quickening Bradstreet's on Saturday said: Trade and industrial advices point to a further quickening1 of fall trado activities. Retail trade in the north ern half of the country has felt the stimulus given by rains followed by lower temperatures, light to killing frosts being noted in fairly ' wide areas. Wholesale and jobbing trade has quickened further and the industrial pace has also speeded up a little. In parts of the southwest and pretty generally in the1 southeast, however, there is still complaint that high temperatures have held back trade, while partial relief from the drought by showers has not made' much difference as yet in stream flow, the paucity of which keeps down industrial operations in the Southern Appalachian slopes. Some of the reports from Northern Georgia this week equal in serious ness the advices from parts of Texas earlier in the year as to the injury to leading crops, ami especially cot ton. Residents of Fredericktown, Mis souri, are pumping gasoline from their wells instead of water. This combustible fluid is pure enough to be used in automobiles just as it conies from the earth, after straining out the sediment. Pure Food Demonstration A special representative of the H. J .
