Sick From Dose of Wrong Medicine.
Miss St. John, the charming daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. St. John
took a dose out of the wrong bottle
of medicine while on her way here
last Saturday on the train from
Myrtle Beach. The medicine which
was given to her by mistake was
said to be aconite, She became
very weak from its effects ana physicians
were hastily summoned , s
soon as the train arrived at Con way
She was carried to the Kingston
Hotel and was soon revived, so that
she was able to continue the journey
with the rest to their home at
Southern Pines, N. C.
Miss St. John had been ill at
Myrtle Beach, but not seriously.
She had recovered and was on her
way home with the rest of the family
after closing Sea Side Inn for the
season. Her mother had the medicine
in a grip and in administer n
the medicine on the. train got hold i.f
the wrong vial. The mistake was
not discovered until the wrong dose
had oeen taken.
Hold Cotton Seed.
To the Farmers' Unions?County
and Local: In our wor* for the
price of cotton we have overlooked
the ruinous prices that have been
offered for cotton seed. At prices
that have prevailed we should use
them for fertilizer rather than sell
I have been informed, and T believe
it to be reliable, that the market for
cotton seed oil and by products, and
the price, of meal, would warrant
?28 to $80 per ton for seed.
Take care of your seed. Pick and
sjfi n your cotton dry, store the seed
in small piles well protected from
th e weather nr.d do not sell any seed
til 1 the market advances eonsideribly.

The Contractors Have Been

MATERIAL BEEN SHIPPED.
There has Been Much Complaint Concerning
the Seeming Unnecessary
Delay in Commencing Work on the
Waccamaw River Bridge. According
to a Published Statement the Matter
has Passed Out of the Control of the
llorry Commissioners and it is Now
up to (he Contractors to Make Good.
Toe erec'ion of the bridge across
the Waecamaw River, near Howell's
mill, has benn so long delived that
the building o unmission add"o*sed
a loiter to the contractors. Southern

for this deity. The concern has
writ-ten and stated that the delay
is due to various causes, among
them, that the foreman they had
sele ted for this work was taken

hospital for some time. Another
foreman they hud selected was de1
i.yed om another job and it would
be some time yet before he could
get to this. The letter went to say
that they would load out the material
on last Monday morning, and
they would send a man to Conway
t o receive this material and place
it in readiness for the work.
The people are hoping that this,

The rain fall has been unusually
heavy in this sestion for three
weeks. That was a bridge washer
which came early the first Monday
morning. W A Marlow says he has
not seen the like in thiity yea>'S.
Miss Annie L Baldwin, of Whites'

with her sister. Miss Bessie, the efficient
teacher of music in Dothan
High School. She came Friday after
noou and returned Monday.
Our boys are looking forward
with interest to next Thursday
night when they will debate the
question ''Resolved that Columbus
county should appropriate ?50 000
for the improvement of her public
roads." Many are predicting that
the affirmative will win, becaus"
that side is supported by Mr L C
Bland, the young man from Brunswick,
who made such a hit in his
first speech one week ago. To such
parties we would sound the note of
warning that the whole tribe of
"Reds" is on the negative.
Miss Bessie has promised her
music class in the Dothan High
School a recital next week. This
one will not be public, but there
will be one in the near luture, to
which all the patrons will be invited.
The series of services which were
conducted last week at Camp
Swamp church by Rev S T Creech
closed Sunday. No more faithful
preaching could have been done.
There were quite a number of professions
and additions to the church.

Ouce each year, the last Saturday
in September, the O paatis claim
the atleution and sympathy of the
men, women and children of our
I land as at no other time during the.,
year.
Saturday, Sep tern bar 30th is the
day set aside this year wneu we are
asked to remember the orphans by
devoting that day's work to the
suuport and comfort of the orphans.
This is a matter that each superintendent
of each Sunday school
should take to heart and bring the
matter before his Sunday school
next Sunday and urge each one to
observe the day. The success of the
day greatly depends upon the
supermtendant of each Sunday
school.
This appeal is made to all denominations,
Baptists, Methodists,
Presbyterians and others, for each
have an orphanage to support, and
looking for handsome returns on this
day.
Last year Connie Maxwell Orphanage
received about $5,000 00
and $50,000 0 ) was reported from
20 orphanages in the South, as a
result on the Orphanage Work Day.
Below is an appeal so beautiful
and forcefully made that wo wish all
to read.
' is uod a partner in your ousiuess,
giving you wisdom and seasons
and health and protection and
numbers blessings? Is he the Farther
of your household, giving you
the family and the blessings you
count precious and priceless? Are
you not rejoiced that you are spared
to your children? Then offer God
the profits of your store orotlieo or
farm or practice for this one day as
a thank offeriug to help Him save
the helpless children of South Carolina
God is a real partner, living
and active, and your success is
largely his blessings. Honor Him
in gratitude for she past, you can
count him for the future."
