Attempt To Derail ,
Crescent Limited
Charlotte, N. C., Jan. 4.?Wha.
was declared to have been an attempt
to wreck the Crescent Limited, crack
Southern Railway passenger train,
was revealed today with the arrest
of Joe Robinson, negro, in connection
with the alleged attempt.
Robinson was charged with having
pulled 21 spikes from the inside of
a rail on the train, track on the night
of December 13, releasing the rail
couplings. The Crescent Limited and
four other trains passed over the
track before the dangerous condition
of the rail was discovered.
Railway wortcmen said the fact the
spikes had been pulled from the inside
instead of the outside of the
rail prevented a serious wreck.
The outside spikes were said to
have kept tbe wheels of the train
from pushing the rails from its supports.
v
Robinson was alleged to have pulled
the spikes in an attempt to avenge
the death of his pet dog which was
run over apd killed by the train.
At a preliminary hearing, probable
cause was found against the negro
and he was held for Superior court
under $2,000 bond which he failed
to make.
Professional notice
Dr. Carl A. West announces the
removal of his office from Corner
of Broad and Rutledge Streets, to
office formerly occupied by the late
Dr. W. J. Dunn on east DeKalb street.

Adults, Too, Prefer
"No Dosing" for Colds
Millions Adopt External Remedy
Made Famous As Treatment
For Children's Colds
A generation ago, when Vicks
VapoRub was originated, the idea
of treating colds without "dosing"
was almost unheard oft-Today, the
whole trend of medical practice la
away from needless "dosing."
Mothers of young children especially
have been quick to appreciate
this better, external method of treating
colds, because there's nothing to
. swallow and, of course, nothing to
upset the little ones' delicate stomachs.
Year by year more and more
' adults, too, have found Vlcks equally
good for their own colds.
Just rubbed on, Vlcks acts through
the skin like a poultice or plaster;
and. at the same time, it releases
medicated vapors which are inhaled
direct to the Inflamed air-passages.*.
Ever-increasing demand for this
better method of treating colds is
shown in the familiar Vick slogan.
Made famous when Vlcks reached
"17 Million Jars Used Yearly"?,
later raised to "SI Million"?there
are now "Over 26 Million Jam Used
