NOTES Suggestions For Keeping Fit as Fur nished l>> Public Health Nurse Do you think you have heart disease? Do not begin by worrying about your condition. "Worrying is thinking a-.. lot of things that aren't so about something that will probably never happen." Consult a good phy sician, tell him why you think some thing is wrong and ask him to make a careful examination. Do not ob ject to the removal of clothing for the examination. A careful and thorough examination cannot be made through a thick layer of clothing. Do not try to make your own diag nosis. There is not h single sensation associated with real heart disease which may not be caused by some other disorder. Pain in the region "f the heart, i thumping, rapid or rregi)!ar hcait, shortness of breath, fainting and many, other sensations may be due t<? disturbances of other organs and the h<*?rt may be per fectly * >und. Common among the disorders which may cause one or mi>re of these .sensations are indiges tion, lung troubles and nervousness. Perhaps you have had a careful ex amination for life insurance or for some other purpose and have been told that you have a heart murmur. Even this doc* not necessarily mean that you have a diseased heart. A great many persons, particularly young people, have heart murmurs in perfectly normal hearts. A very large number of men were found in the draft examinations to have slight heart murmurs btjt had no other evi dence of heart disease and were there fore accepted for army service. A large number of these men after months of strenuous army life were re-examined and found to have nor mal hearts. This would not have been the case if the murmur originally found had been caused by organic heart disease. Consult your physician as to how you ahould conduct your life. Every person with organic heart disoase should limit his physical activities. Your amusements and work must be chosen with a view to these limita tions. Try to avoid situations which are likely to induce emotional ex citement. A person with organic heart disease- should spend not less that ten hours out of twenty-fflur in bed. A vacation with relief from work and worry is a good thing f >:' everyone. A simple, plain diet, containing a variety of foods is best suited~~to your needs. Try to 'keep your weight normal for your height and age. Do not allow yourself to get too fat. Do not allow yourself to become un dernourished. Unless ordered for you by your physician, do not use stimu lants, such as tea, coffee, alcohol and tobacco. Drugs . hould be taken only under the advice of a physician. The condition of the heart of those who have o/ganic heart disease may change from time to time. Therefore, even if you feel in perfect health it is for your interest to. have a careful I examination by a physician not less than once a year, Ao that any change may be detected at an early stage and appropriate suggestions may be given you m regard to your mode of life, exercise, rest, diet, and medication. Avoid infections as much as possible. Keep your teeth clean. Organic heart disease is usually the result of an infectious disease, such as rheuma tism, bad teeth, etc. Consequently keep your general health as good as possible. ^MaTiy persons with serious hrart disease fiave, by following i .-uitable mode of life, completed a career full of years of usefulness.

They were hanged from the same gallows. The trap was sprung at" \ 1 ;02 a.m. Both" were pronounced dead at 11:16 a.m. Jom ? died apparently without a shudder, his neck being broken at the first shock. Bloodworth, howeVer, struggledo/or more than a minute be fore he died of strangulation. Homer Jones, a brother of VVillle Jones, witnessing the execution at the request of his brother, grew hysterical as the pair dropped to their death and was only restrained from grasp-1 ing the rope around his brother's neck by officers. The two went to? their death with smiles on their lips. They spent the last half hour before the execution in songs and prayer. Today was the sixth date eet for their execution for the murder De cember 8, 1923, of Howard F. Un derwood, a traveling medicine sales man, after he had given the two boys a ride in his automobile. The two confessed to the murder, contending they were undeii _the_- influence of whiskey when the crime was com mitted. The two young men were first sen tenced to die on January 18, 1924, following a speedy indictment, trial and conviction covering a period of only two days. The ? multiplicity of execution dates was occasioned by one of the most dogged fights ever conducted in court history in Georgia to save them from the galloway Failure of Underwood to return home prompted a search by relatives and two days later the body, with part of the head blown away, was found in the car on the banks, of the Flint. On the same day Jones and Bloodworth were arrested in connec tion with the case, Jones confessing the following day and implicating Bloodworth. Twelve days later, on December 18, they were indicted and their trial started the same day, concluding the next day when they were sentenced to death. An appeal was taken and in October, 1924, the trial court was upheld by the state supreme court, rhe second death date was set for the last Friday in November, 1924. , Shortly before they were to be ex ecuted Governor Walker granted them :i respite until January 9, 1925. On that day. while they were preparing for the march to the gallows, the sheriff of Taylor county was served with an injunction against the exe cution on the grounds that it was to be in full view of the public. vi , Took Two Men to "Tote" Back-bone About this time each year folks begin to brag about the size of the hog.s they are killing for home cured bacon and down in the Holly Hill sec tion one man has just about reached the record for this year.

Both were weighed after they' had been bled. Mr. Hart says one of the hog.s was so big that it took two men to carry the backbone to his house. He made five fifty-pound cans full of lard from these hogs. These hogs were I)uroc Jerseys. Mr. Hart usual ly ships about a car load of hogs from his place each year.- ?

MONEY FROM READING PAPER '? M *. * News Story Tells of Insurance Policy I Xeft to? Young Man Shelby, C., Jan. 30.-r-Reading the newspapers proves informing and educational to some people, and eco nomical to others ? tnose who rbad the advertisements. To Wilbert Davis, 21-year-old tex tile worker of Belmont, it meant a $1,000 wedding present. About one toeek' ago a news story carried in the papers of the state statetL. that a check for $1,000 was in Shelby await ing the finding of Davis, who had not been heard of since 1916. His father was killed in South Carolina in 1921 and left a $1,000 insurance policy for his son. Representative B. T. Falls, Shelby attorney, searched for. young Davis for several years and was as sisted by police departments of var ious cities. He could not be located. Then the news story. Davis read it one afternoon, and his mother, who also could not be located, read it in Charlotte the next morning. They came to Shelby yesterday and ar rangements were made to get the check. If the news story had never been published it is thought that Davis would never have received the money. His father left his mother wheri he was young and for some years he had gone by his mother's surname, her purents having reared him. After his father's death his mother mar ried fgain and became Mrs. Garris, of Charlotte. Therefore police de partments could not find a man by the name of Wilbert Davis, nor a Mrs. Davis. Davis proved to be much a roamer. He had lived in Charlotte in recent months, 'but was married recently and had moved to Belmont. The oheck he receives when the af fidavits reach the insurance office will be a right handy wedding pres ent, Attorney Falls says, as Davis, with an injured leg, was unable to buck life unassisted.

A Big Whiskey Haul A display of 95 two-quart fruit jars containing moonshine whiskey, on display at the Bishopville police sta tion has been the center of much in terest for the past several days. The display represents the result of activi* ties of Chief of Police Jones and Po liceman Strickland of the Bishopville foree and State Officers L. A. Lamar and J. W. Sanders. Last Wednesday night these offi cers captured a light roadster in which was found the liquor above de scribed, also a 32-caliber rifle. Lever Watson, a young white man, was ar rested at the time. Another man in the car nt the time escaped, but later Washington Davis, another . young wh ite man, surrendered to the au thorities. Both men were detained at the county jail until bond was ar ranged, and are being held under a charge of transporting whiskey. It is said that the automobile was the property of young Davis. ?
