WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS | The nervous system is the alarm system i ^ of the human body. In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declining, the 6anie nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritability ami unless corrected, leads straight to a breakdown. To correct nervousness, Scott's Kmulsion is exactly what you should take; its *ich nutriment gets into the blood SL'd rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while ^ the whole system responds to its refreshing tonic force. It is free from alcohol. Scott ltowue. JJloomfield, N.

It thinks the * wisest and most effective policy would be to "ignore" the gentleman.

DARLINGTON GREAMERY AND WHAT IT 13 DOING Really Wonderful Progress Made by Farmers' Coop. erativc Enterprises. (Florence Times.) "We are getting more orders than! we can possibly fill," says J. M. Na-j pier, the agricultural agent for Dar-j lington County, discussing the resuusj obtained by the establishment of the creamery at Darlington. "The creamcries are operated upon a cooperative basis and every effort is made io serve the farmers." The Darlington Creamery Company was arganized last fall with a capital stock of $5,000 of which $2,500 has been paid in by stockholders. The equipment for the creamery cost about $1,500. Since the organization of the concern and the inauguration of the cream routes $2,208 worth of butter fat and eggs have been collected and sold. The seven routes in Darlington and Lee counties cover about twentyfive miles. The first cream route was establish ed in the Piedmont section of the State, the creamery being located at Clemson College. W. W. Pong, head of the Clemson demonstration forces, has been giving much time and attention to the pro iiivvivjii wi IIIU IUU.jiciuhvc ti I'^nnci ift). The machinery for the Spartanburg company lias arrived. Another cream ery is located at Rock Hill. Mr. Long says the four principles involved in the organization of a cooperative creamery are: 1. That the stockholders are not paid over 8 per cent on the money invested; the extra amount going to the patrons. 2. That the vote for the control of the company is individual rather than according to the amount of stock held. 3. That the Clemson College demonstration forces name the butter maker. 4. That the creamery use the State brand, coyprightcd as the "Palmetto Brand" of butter. o RHEUMATIC PAIN STOPPED The drawing of muscles, the soreness, stiffness and agonizing pain of Rheumatism quickly yield to Sloan's Liniment.

Henley AFTER SHOOTING WIFE NEGRO MAKES ESCAPE Henry Brown, colored, 22 years old, shot and killed his wife, Sallie Brown, 23 years old, about 7:30 o'clock at the home of the lattcr's parents, J. G. and Victoria Gibson, No. 900 North Tenth street in Wilmington one night last week. He then made his escape by breaking away from his wife's father, who grabbed him from behind after he had fired. The bullet entered the ' woman's right chest causing almost instant death. 1 The shooting was possibly caused , by a quarrel over who should keep the family savings.

On Sunday Brown took the money away from the woman and this is believed to have caused a quarrel, although the woman's father stated that he did not konw that they had had any words. He did state, however, that Browr. had told his daughter Monday night that he would kill her before (i o'clock Tuesday evening. Brown came back from his work about noon and didn't return. He returned home about 7 o'clock, and went up stairs, and very shortly called down and asked his wife if supper ' was ready. She told him it wasn't quite ready. In a few minutes he call ' ed down again to know if there wasn't ' a cigar stump on the mantel. Not 1 satisfied with the reply he got, he came downstairs and, taking Ids stand ^ on the threshold leading into Gibson's rom, pulled a revolver from his pocket and fired at his wife who was stand' imr in tho ad milliner rnnm with her ! mother. The bullet took effect in the woman's left side and she fell in a heap to the floor. The woman's mother, who was lying across the bed, as ' we'd as her father, were eye-witnesses ' to the shooting. The latter grabbed 1 Brown by the coat, but the younger ' negro managed to pull away, ran out ' of the house and down the alley, firing a shot as he left the house, evi' dently to prevent the old man from following him. The affair created a great deal of excitement in the neighborhood and some 200 negroes collected around ' and in the house. The shooting was reported to the police by Watchman Willie Smith of Worth's Mill. o AVOID SPUING COLDS.

E-67 W*Vj STOAWAY PIRATE II WANTED ONLY COLD German Who Captured British I Ship Singie Handed Teils His Story Lewes, Del., March 31.?The young stcwav ay who single-handed captured the British steamship Mateppo, forcing the captain and crew of ('?() men to divert the vessel from its course and land here yesterday afternoon rested calmly in Ids cell in the town jail here today while the British consul general at Philadelphia and United States ot-i ficials endeavored to fathom the mo- ; tivc of his alleged act of piracy. Do-j spite his assertions that he had not: concealed any bombs on the Matoppo; and had made threats to blow up the ship merely to frighten the captain and crew into obeying his commands, there was still some doubt in the mind or Captain Bergnor and a thorough search of the cargo of barbed wire and farm implements will be made! before the vessel proceeds on its voy-i age to Vladivostok. The alleged pirate declares that his identity must remain a mystery. "1 prefer to be known a*> "Schiller," Tie, said. "1 may have several other names, but that is my own business." He denied that he was actuated by' patriotic motives, but was after the | 2,000 pounds which he believed was: in the vessel's safe when he made hiej bold attempt to capture the ship. In describing his experience ho j said: "1 spent three weeks in Hoboken preparing for this. 1 went along the | docks buying drinks for the sailors and learning from them what ships were sailing with contraband. "I lay in the life boat on the upper j deck, waiting for the ship to sail from Thursday until the following Wednesday night. For two days I did not eat. I had only brought some sandwiches with me, but I stuck it out. Captains Story. Although Dr. W. R. Messick, who had examined the prisoner after he had been captured by the crew of the Federal coast guard Iminrh nc w?*l being conveyed ashore from the Ma-1 toppo, declares that he believes the man is mentally irresponsible, Cant. Bergncr says he is "far from being simple-minded." "This fellow may act the fool now," Bergner said, "but he is far from being simple-minded, as you will see by j what happened. We left New York Wednesday evening and had passed the Sandy Hook light at S o'clock when I was in my cabin. I was bound j for Vladivostok with railroad material for the Russian government, and i had a crew of fifty-six men, of which only fourteen were Englishmen. The others are Chinese and Coolies. "Suddenly a voice from the dark shouted: "Hands up!" 1 turned and) faced Schiller, with two large revol-! vers pointed at me. ' 1 have your) vessel mined and planted with bombs,'| Schiller said. 'You do as I tell you or you and your whole crew and ship will go down in less than two minutes You have two thousand pounds sterling in your safe, and 1 want every pound of it.' I protested that I had only ten pounds. "We will soon see what you have,' said Schiller, and produced a paper) chart of my ship, on which he indicated where the money was supposed to be. His chart of my ship was all right, but the cash box he demanded held only ten pounds instead of two! thousands. Then he went over alii the papers in the box. " 'Look hero captain, your papersi say you carry barbed wire. That's! contraband, and 1 am within my! rights in sinking; you.' Schiller said. Smashed Wireless. "Just then the s 'corwl engineer came, and Schiller covered him, too, with his guns, and ordered * him to! t produce his papers and fasten me.' Then he asked for the wireless and. lot kino; me in mv cabin, he went to! the wireless station and covered the j two operators before they could send out any message. Before he returned i to my cabin with tlie wireless operators he smashed the wireless apparatus. He locked the wireless operators up with me and let the second engirt-1 eer go out to tell the other officers 1 and members of the crew what had! happened and that he was in charge. { "Schiller then started on a round of the ship, always keeping everybody at, a distance and covered with his guns. He ransacked every cabin. He found two revolvers and one automatic' which he confiscated, together with all the ammunition he could find. Alii the money he found he also stuffed in his pockets as well as all papers re WERY EFFORT TO j SPEED ARriY BiLL % President Anxious to Push It Through?Senator Scone Agrees ARMOR PLANT IS PY LPMOT I i'\ W ^ i > ? ^ L-? > I < w w ?

The executive committee protested in the name of the 33,000 young men, the message said, who would enroll for military training this year, asking nothing for thomselfcs but a chance to serve the government. The failure of the volunteer plan would not build up the National Guard, it was said, since none of the men who would join the volunteers would enter the guard. o FOR FIRE PROTECTION Mutual To Be Organized in Orangeburg.
