Was In Misery All Over **I wan in a dreadfully rundown condition," ?ay? Mn. ('has. I* Lacroix, of Montgomery, La. "I suffered a great deal of pain. I waa in iniaery all over. I could not ait up and I oould not lie down. I couldn't sleep and at times I would have dreadAil vomiting spella. The ache a and Kins seemed to cover my whole dy. "One night rny husband brought me home six bottles of Cardui and I began to take it. I could tell that I waa improving from the first bottle, but I kept on taking the medicine, for I I knew tliat I needed a tonic . that would build me up and I strengthen me where I waa weak and run-down. That is exactly what Cardui did for me. After 1 hud finished the six bottles 1 felt fine. "I feel truly thankful for what I Cardui lias done for me, for I , I could not have gone on living in I the desperate condition I waa in."

Even though nothing has been received and nothing paid pot during the last twelve calendar months it is obligatory upon these officers to make this statement anyway in order that a correct and upto-date record may be kept of each estate. Failure to receive these returns makes it the' duty of the Probate Judge t<> require such derelict oiiicer to comply with the law in regard uncreto.

Five Die in Train Wreck Ruiherfordton, July 2.?Five men were killed this afternoon when Southern Railway freight train No. <>X, operating between Blacksburg, S. C., and Marion, N. C., jumped the track near Gilkey, Rutherfordton county. Six men composed the crew of the train and tonight only one Fred Pinniger, flagman, riding in the caboose, remained alive to tell of the tragic crash. He. escaped uninjured. The dead are W. M. Kendrick, of Rock Hill, S. C., engineer; J. P. Akers, of Marion. N. C., conductor; Perry Ward of Vane Mountain, N. C., brakeman; Lynch Weaver, of Thermal City, brakeman; Alf Lyle, of Rock Hill, S. C., fireman. The tender of the train jumped the track as it was crossing a 90-foot trestle over Cathes Creek, but did not overturn until it was nearly 100 yards north of the creek, when both the engine and tender plunged on their sides, carrying with them nine of the eleven cars. The cars piled on top of each other three deep in one place and were demolished?Products of the textile mills of Rutherford county wore strewn along the track, and the rails were toin up for more than 20C yards. Pet Deer Slain in Bit more Woods Asheville, June 30.?-A beautiful pet deer, the pride of the famou.? \andeibilt estate for years, was shot a few days ago. dragged into the bushes and quartered. Three men were arrested immej diately afterwards by Game Warder rum Parker. The names of the men were not made public by Mr. Parker ho said two more aiiests in the ease are expected. The animal was a buck, had IS -gc and weighed many 40C p u d< ar*. takers of the estate, deeply g lev ed, sad Mr. and Mrs. J. F. A ( oc.l had tamed the deer and were ^ery fond of it. The Cecils are at present in F.urope. THINGS WORTH KNOWING Experiments show that the preference oP fish for dark, shady sections of water is due to the fact that the buii's ultra-violet rays are harmful to them. All other creatures, however, show a favorable response to these rays. In the United States there are 41 persons engaged in fanning on each 1,000 acres. Italy has 24tS persona, or six times as many, cultivating the same amount of land, Germany about 100, France 120, and England and Wales approximately 100 persons. London watchmakers have discovered that hand-clapping puts wrist watches out of order. Announcement to this effect brought such a sudden decrease in theatre and music hall applause that actors began to wonder why audiences no longer applauded, although they continued to laugh as uproariously as ever. Substitution of potatoes for rics as the main article of diet in Japan is being urged by economists as a "Solution to that country's food problem which is daily becoming more acute due to increased population without* a corresponding increase in the amount of cultivated land. All paper money, says a report from the United States Treasury office, has the same weight. Since it takes twenty and one-half dollar bills to weigh the same as one standard silver dollar or 312.5 grains, the weight of any bill is 20.12 plus grains. The noise of two goldfish swimming in front of the microphone, amplified ten million times, sounded to the radio audience like the drumming of a horse's hoofs on a hard road; the beating of u man's heart sounded like the thump of a ship's engine; and the ticking of a watch, similar to the crashing of a compressed aid drill. So numerous have been the demands on Minneapolis firemen to come to the rescue of foolish cats that have climbed poles and high trees and refused to come down that the firemen have called a halt and will rescue no more from precarious positions. A twenty-two-story Chicago office building just completed is unusual in that the twenty-one upper stories extend westward ten feet farther than the ground floor. The explanation is this: originally a cow pasture, the property when sold carried a deed providing for a ten-foot runway along the former owner's cow. Failing to its west end for the convenience of break the clause, lawyers refer to the $2,000,(100 building as a monument to a cow. A London school, started primarily to teach languages, now finds most of its pupils among American tourists who are anxious to acquire an English recent within a short time. A close second in popularity is a course in "curing" accents. Pine, oak and spruce are the trees most subject to lightning stroke, while beech nearly immune, according to a European survey. In the American 1_^0151x^2 per cent of the trees hit are western yellow pine and Douglas fir. Portland cement, an artificial product, is so named because of its color resemblance to stone obtained from the Isle of Portland on the coast erf Dorsett, England. Records of the United States Weather Bureau show that the highest tempera ure officially known in this country was 121 degrees at Boise, Idaho, in the summer of 1871. Havre, Montana, registered the coldest known L mperature of 57 degrees below zero in 1916. The maxim of the South American Cholo is, "Plenty to eat, little to wear and nothing to do." The Cholo i i second cousin to the peasant of Cyprus, where goats are so valued that if one of the peasants gets a goat and a chestnut tree, he will work no more for the rest of his life. Chinese geese, trained -for generaHcns, are the policemen of the West Indies. When enemies approach, their shrill, raucous cries will awaken an entire neighborhood. They are now being used as watchmen at the Wash[ ington national zoo. Automobile accidents are most likely to happen between five and six o'clock in the afternoon, a survey indicates. The only autoraph manuscript of 1 Edgar Allan Poe's "Tho Raven," presented by him to Dr. Samuel A. Whitaker, a college chum, has just been sold to dealers. Although the pur, chase price was not disclosed, the manuscript is valued at more than $50,000. Poe received $10 for the poem. The menu of the lumber camp to( day includes fancy loin of pork, boili ed ham, tongue, special sausage, fruits and puddings in contrast to the ^ salt po:k, corned beef, thick bacon, beans flapjacks and fresh meat thrie ^ times a day of twenty years ago. ) Five thousand dollars was paid by Colgate University for < no of the twenty-five dinosaur egg- found hy I the American Museum of Xatura!

Roger* Between friend* at Geffney, Covernor John (J. Riehapd* is unofficially quoted as pred'.-ting a shake-up in the state constabulary and the implication is that South Carolina's star cryatalgazer and seer, one Mr. W. W. Rogers, sleuth extraordinary and Sher, lock polities of this commonwealth j may in the vernacular of the day, "get the gate." I All that Governor Richards has to do to moke S^uth Carolinians generally happy,- -Would be to make this an official instead of an unofficial statement. , South Carolina is seriously in need of a detective. We would, not say that Mr. Rogers is without ability; probably he has the goods. He certainly knows how to write warrants and make arrests. But somehow, between the great majority of the people of this state and Mr. Rogers, there is lacking that bond of perfect understanding and confidence. The people of this state either do not know Mr. Rogers wbll enough, or they know him too well! It is doubtful if there is a man working on the payroll of South Carolina today who is as utterly lacking in public confidence whether deservedly so or not, as this state detective. We were mildly surprised that Governor McLeod kept him employed; we were shocked when Governor Richards retained him. Probably the public has summed up Mr. Rogers unjustly. But there i* something wrong somewhere, and it would be a great boon to law enforcement in this state to have an investigator whose name is held above reproach and whose integrity and sincerity is unquestioned. In Anderson county, for instance, the detective in question has never "gum-shoed" to the satisfaction of officers of the law or the public at large. Some of the mysteries he investigated here are as mystifying as ever before. So much for his ability. Mr. Rogers is now busily engaged ! in solving the mur4?r of Sheriff Sain Willis of Greenville. The great weakness in the published and reported evidence against Henry Townsend and Mrs. Willis, as far as public sentI iment goes, can be traced to the lack i of confidence in Mr. Rogers. If the | Greenville crime is solved, in our opinion it will be due to the work of city and county officers there, who have gone steadily forward with the investigation while Mr. Rogers hog; ged the front page. I We are told that Mr. Rogers holds his job by always bluffing the governor with stories about "evidence" he has on certain important cases, intimating, it is said, that any interruption in his services migbt cost law enforcement a severe blow. How long I he will get away with that, of course, is problematical. Frankly, we are in favor of ditching Mr. Rogers and getting a deteci tive-plus.?Anderson Independent.
