Weak and Tired. “ Do you suppose your Vinol would do me any good ? ” said a woman customer the other day. “ 1 just drag round. My work seems an awful burden.’* “ I think Vinol will help you,” said our clerk. “Our folks at home use it. We have such faith in it that we will pay the money back if it doesn’t help you.” She took a bottle of Vinol home and has since bought another bottle. Vinol was sold last year on the same guarantee. How many 4 ‘ refunds ” were there, do you think ? Less than two per cent. In other words, Vinol did successful work in ninety-eight cases out of 100. i For two | great classes, those who can’t seem to gain strength, and those who are tired at nothing, we say: “Try Vinol on our guarantee.” CHEROKEE DRUG CO IJKL'U<»l.vrs J.

BIS CITIES IN GRASP OF REMARKABLE FOG Traffic In Boston and New York Interrupted.

Boston, Mass., Jan. 29.—For several hours Iasi evening Boston was in the grip of the most remarkabl e fog ever seen Jrere. Trains were stalled and trolley cars proceeded, with great dif ficulty. Harbor navigation was dan gerous and pedestrians were forced to grope their way along the streets. The peculiar thing was the fog was con fined wholly to the north end of the city, and the suburbs on the northern side. In Adams square the sky was bright and clear, but in Hanover street not 2 minutes’ walk away, the heavy, choking mist hung like a pall. The ferryboat John Hancock left her slip in Boston sound for Bast Bos ton, a quarter of a mile distant. Two hours and 2(» minutes later she ram med a war vessel in the Charleston navy yard, a mile out of her regular course. New York Groped In Darkness. New York. Jan. 29.—For six hours a fog enveloped New York yesterday making river traffic practically impos sible and compelling the railroads to adopt safeguards for the safety of their trains and passengers. At day light the fog was slight, but became denser as the day advanced, and about the time when the rush to business v. as at its height, the disturbing con ditions in the river were at their worst. At 12 o’clock the fog lifted, and the regular run of boats on both the North and East livers was re sumed. STRIKE TIES UP TRAFFIC. Business on Dutch Railroad Compa ny’s System Suspended.

Professor Pickering of Harvard Makes Astronomical Discovery. Boston, Mass., Jan. 29.—William Henry Pickering, assistant professor of astronomy at Harvard, has made a d/iseovery interesting to astronomers. Dr. Franz, the German astronomer, published tw-o years ago an exhaustive treatise on “The Mountains and Cra ters of the Moon,” in which the latitude and longitude of each mountain and crater were carefully worked out. Professor Pickering has been at work recently on a new atlas of the moon, and he has discovered that no account has been taken heretofore of the altitude of the craters. He has discovered that the latitude and lon gitudinal measure of each are greatly affected by the height. TUG STRIKES FERRY BOAT. Boats Collide While Rounding Battery at New York. New York.

Two fakirs have been with us lately, one a soap fakir Saturday, and yesterday an electrical belt fakir. The former operated on a small scale, the latter, however, pulled each of his dupes for one dollar each and gave them a belt worth about as much us the band on a bunch of cigars. It is time to put a stop to this kind of swindling and we hope these two will be arrested and punished in the next town they attempt to iieece, and that no more such will be licensed to practice their rascality in in Gaffney.
