PI HLIC IlKAI/ni. 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.

C?m Nearly Rivalled That of Hifham
in South Carolina
|
, Columbus, Ga., Jan. 29.? ^-Willie
Jones and Gervis Bloodworth, Con
demned for thev murder two years
ago of Howard Underwood, were
hanged here today.
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.

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.
This man is Mr. J. W. Hart and he
has just butchered two fine porkers,
one weighing eight hundred and
ninety-three pounds and the other six
hundred and thirty-five pounds. 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.- ? Orangeburg

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

and J. W. Sanders.
Last Wednesday night these offi
cers captured a light roadster in

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. ? Bishopville
