KlUa?b?th Driggers, wife of Henry Driggsrs, is in a serious condition at their home south of the ice plant 6n account of wounds in the head, supposed to have been selfinflicted with a hatchet early yesterday morning. Mrs. Priggers has been in. had health for several years and frequently complained of a severe pain in the top of her head. Her family heard her remark several times that she believed she would get relief if her head Were split open. For the past several days her mind seemed to be wandering and her grown daughter, Miss Bert, ha* been watching her closely, i When Miss Bert awoke up about 4:!i0 yesterday morning she missed h#r mother from the house and started out to looif for her. At the back door she met her mother coming, with her head and clothing covered^with blood. She caught her and called her father and brother, who had not got up, and they phoned for a doctor* Dr. P. M. Kinney was first to get there, and found that the top of her head had been chopped to pieces with a hatchet. It was cut almost into a jelly, several pieces of .flesh being cut out, and the skull cut through in two places, exposing the brain, j In the closet in the garden back of |the?house was found a bloody hatchet l and the floor covered with blood and I pieces of flesh. The family has no doubt about Mrs. Driggers inflicting the wounds her? | self. She is 61) years old, Dr. Kinney sewed up the wounds in her head. She is,conscious, but gives no reason why j she inflicted the wounds on herself.? Bennetttsville Advocate. , ' . Public Health Report.

The hue and cry for bigger and better buildings, more teachers, free text books, all worthy and commendable in themselves, is today being accompanied by another cry from educators and health authorities. And their cry is, "Let us improve our educational facilities, but let us also make better use of what we have. >' This is food for thought for every mother who is to launch her "baby" this fall on his important and eventful journey through the land of education. Thousands of mothers will realize with a start this fall that "baby" is a baby no longer; that he has reached the ripe old age of six years, and is reatbv Hr start school. But is he really ready? Readiness embodies something more than having reached the required age, as the foregoing figures testify. It is just as futile to start a child with diseased tonsils, impaired vision, or defective hearing as it is to start an automobile trip with a fiat tire. You may get there, but you will have a hard struggle and big bills. Likewise your child may pull through he mav make his grades, but he will be fighting terrible obstacles, and will be placed in unfair competition with his healthier follow, students. Moreover his frequent illnesses will be expensive. The wisest course, the most economical and the only satisfactory course, is to give the child about to enter school the same overhauling you would give your car before starting an important ^trip. If you arc one of the few parents whose child has no defects to be corrected, you can indeed congratulate yourself, for only 25 per cent, of all the children in this country, authorities tell ua, Are in this class. . . During thus period between now and the opening of school, the child should be vaccinated against small pox, as this will save time and trouble later. The health of little children is_such a precious heritage that we cannot gamble with it. We cannot afford to "presume" or "suppose", or "reckon" that things are all right. Let us make sure that every child entering school for the first time this fall is prepared for the long pull ahead of him by being put in as nearly perfect physical condition as possible,? Mrs. Louise M. Brown. Left Him in Doubt. A man in North Carolina was saved from conviction for horse stealing by the powerful plea of his lawyer.

Said To Bo UrfMi of Its Kind in TU World* I Philadelphia, July lo?A dream of 100 yearn came true . today when Pennsylvania and New Jersey joined hands in dedicating end formally opening to traffic the greatest suspension bridge in the world. .Since the early (leys of the nineteenth century the inhabitants of Southern New Jersey and of Philadelphia urged a bridge across the historic Delaware, but a disinclination to go to the great expense always Mocked the project. And U was left to a decade when construction coats were never higher to put through the plan and building the great structure. As it stands, the bridge cost $37,196,179. Thirteen workmen lost;th*ir Jives during the construction. It is the only public bridge over the Delaware between Philadelphia and the sea, 100 miles distant. The span between the main piers is 1,760 feet, the longest of its kind in .'the world, and the length of the whole structure from Sixth and Raee streets Philadelphia, to Sijjth and Penn streets, Camden, is 9,570 feet, or one and three-quarter miles. The bridge at Montreal, Canada, is fifty feet longer, but it is of the cantilever type. The new bridge has a width of 126 feet. It is wide enough to accommodate six lines of vehicles and four lines of trolleys or high speed transit cars. It also haB two fpotwalks for pedestrians each 'ten feet wide, erected above the roadway on either side of the structure. Engineers have figures that the bridge will accommodate 6,000 vehicles an hour outside the four tracks for trolley or high speed transit. When completed the Brooklyn bridge across the East river was one of the wonders of the' world. Its span is 1,696 feet and its cables are 16 inches in diameter. The Delaware river bridge cables are 80 inches "in diameter. The two great cables from u^hich the Delaware river bridge is suspended present a story in themselves. Each contains 18,666 wires of twotenths of an inch in thickness. The ends are imbedded in great concrete and steel anchorages. The cables are draped in graceful curves over two immense steel towers, one on each aide of the river, and each 386 feet high. The main piers upon which the collosal towers rest are composed of solid granite, and go down to solid rock far below the bed of the river. Authorization for the construction of the bridge was given by the New Jersey and Pennsylvania legislatures .about eight years ago, and actual construction began January 1922. The cost of building was divided by New Jersey assuming half and the State of Pennsylvania the other half. Tolls will be collected from all vehicles crossing the structure, but there will be no charge |or pedestrians. A force of 46 pafrolmen will police the bridge. The bridge was constructed under the supervision of a board of engineers of which Ralph Modjeski, famed I as a builder of gr?at bridges, is chair-, ! man. The other engineers are George S. Webster, of Philadelphia, and Lau| rence A. Ball, of New Jersey. Mr.* j Modjeski is the son of the late Maj dam Helen Modjeski, famous in her day as a tragedienne.

According to the evidence brought out at the hearing, the youths threw the kisses at the young women, who j after enjoying them for awhile threw them back. # Hearing sounds that resembled kissing, one of the deacons who had so far remained piously blind, opened his eyes?

KM ILK COU* DEAD Wm Famous Advocate of Auto-Buggwtioa For Illassa Nancy, France, July 2J?Dr. Kmile Coue, the famous advocate of auto suggestion in the treatment of illnesses, died today. Dr. Coue called himself a professor of applied psychology. His fame as an auto-suggestive healer came after the European* war when his modest dwelling in the Hue Jeanne de Arc was thronged daily with sufferers demanding his services. Soon he was called upon to lecture in France, England, Spalii, Portugal and the United States. / Dr.' Coue was president of the Lorraine Society of Applied Psychology and author of a brochure, "Self Mastery by Conscious Auto-Suggestien," other papers and magazine articles; He was sixty-nine years of age. After thirty years as a druggist in Troyes, Prof. Coue, upon his marriage to the daughter of , a noted horticulturist, made his home here. He was a modest, cheery little man and a rapid speaker.? Among his patients at one time was the late Marquis (Curaon, of Kedliston. Prof. Einiie Coue for many years practiced his thories of auto-suggestion as a more or less> obscure physician in Nancy. He became known to the man in the street, however, by the development of his formula, "Day by day in every way, I am getting better and better." Dr. Coue visited the United States in 1923 and became the center of much controversy among physicians as to the efficacy of the healing powers of auto-suggestion. Although he announced that he had given up his "day by day" chant, it spread throughout the country. Dr. Coue gave many demonstrations of his methods in American clinics. , ..

AUTO KILLER PAROLED Will Devote Remainder of His Life To Prison Welfare Work. Philadelphia, June 24.?Free today after serving a little more than three yearg^n the eastern penitentiary for killing three persons with his automobile, Henry G.?Brook, Philadelphia banker, was resting at the home of 'friends preparatory to taking up prison welfare work, to which he said the remainder of his life would be devoted. ~ Sentenced in April, *1923, to serve six to ten years, after pleading guilty *to second degree murder, he was pardoned yesterday by Governor Pinchot on recommendation of the state board of pardons. Brock Was a model prisoner and did -much prison welfare work at his own expense. At a cost of $20,000 he opened two shops where the convicts sold more than $45,000 of the products of their labor.' Brock admittedly befuddled with ale he had drunk at a friend's house at a suburb, was driving his big motor car at a rapid rate, struck two women and a man who were alighting from a trolley car on March 2, 103$. ' He had no recollection, he said,'of what had occurred. He refused to make a defense, declaring he could do nothing that would restore the lives he had taken and that he wanted to submit to the law. He was 37 years old when sentenced to prison. Snake Takes on Too Much \ Kinaton, N. C., June 80.?Walter Biddleman, upper Onslow county farmer here, today reported the tragic ending of an undergrown snake's attempt to swallow a black Minolta hen. The snake, a whiteoak, or copperhead, evidently had gone to the Tien1*? nest to rob it of eggs. There were none. The snake, desperately hungry, decided to swallow the hen. It swallowed her head and neck, was unable to disgorge and choked to death. Both the reptile and the fowl were dead when the farmer came upon them in the nest. The snake was 16 inches in length and only about two inches in diameter, while the hen, - fully, grown, probably . weighed four pounds. 11 o' ' ' * A new world's record for fasting was recently set by a European, who went sixty days without food.
