•• ■ v* / v:. / -M*- *■' THE TURN OF LIFE A Time When Women Are Susceptible to Many Dread Diseases—Intelligent Women Prepare for It. Two Relate their Experience. The "change of life” la ' the most critical period of a woman’s existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason. Every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time in vites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the ten dency is at this period likely to become active —and with a host of ner vous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symp toms as sense of suffo cation, hot flashes, head aches backaches, dread of impending evil, timid ity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipa tion, variable appetite, weakness and inquie tude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by in telligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman’s \Mrs.AEG.Nyland ^oaoaaMOMaoaMOMaooaMaioaoot** may be expected. The great change lese symptoms are alLjust so many calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound was prepared to meet the needs of woman’s system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. It has carried thousands of women safely through this crisis. For special advice regarding this im portant period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn. Mass., and it will be furnished absolutely free of charge. Read what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Com pound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Hinkle: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— *' I had been suffering with falling of the womb for years and was passing through the Change of Life. My womb was badly swol len ; my stomach was sore; I had dizzy spells, sick headaches, and was very nervous. Lydia E. Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fail “ I wrote you for advice and commenced treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound as you directed, and I am happy to say that all those distressing symp toms left me and I have passed safsly through the Change of Life, a well woman. I am recommending your medicine to all my friends.”—Mrs. Annie E. G. Hyland, Chsster- town, Md. Another Woman's Case. “ During change of life words cannot ex- E ress what 1 suffered. My physician said I ad a eancerous condition of the womb. One day I read some of the testimonials of women w ho had lieen cured by Lydia E. Pinkham * Vegetable Compound, and I decided to try it ana to write you for advice. Your medicine made me a well woman, and all my bad symp toms soon disappeared. I ad vise every woman at this period of life to take your medicine and write you for ad vice.”—Mre. Lizzie Hinkle, Salem, Ind. What Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Hinkle it will do for any woman at this time of life. It has conquered pain, restored health, and prolonged life in cases that utterly baffled physicians. FARMERS MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSUCIATIUN, OF CHEROKEE COUNTY, S. C.

Aug., 11.—The unrecog nizable body of a dead negro was dis covered in a niece of woods near the Thompson road about 350 yards from Batson’s store, near the Furman olace this morning at 10 o’clock by a colored boy named Haddon. The negro boy at once made known his discovery, and Coroner Wooten was notified. He went immediately to the place where the dead negro was discovered and empanelled a jury of inquest. Upon examination the negro was identified as Jay Williams, who lives near the county alms house. Testimony was produced showing that the negro was in the neighbor hood drunk Saturday last, and it is supposed he became beastly drunk and died in a stupor where his body was discovered, as a result of too much mean liquor. Dr. G. L. Martin held the post mortem examination and testified that the man came to his death from na tural causes. The principal witness was Kincaid Furman, who testified to having seen the negro Saturday in a drunken condition with a pint lx corn liquor on his person. The cormorants and dogs had con sumed part of the body and it was in a frightful condition when discovered. When the clothes were removed the skin peeled off with them, and the stench was awful. The body was discovered by the baying of the Haddon boy’s dog, and except for the accidental discovery the body would likely have been en tirely consumed by the beast? and birds. This is one of the few cases on record where mean liquor killed the user thereof almost instantly. TRAIN NO 29 WRECKED. Rails Spread Just as Train Approached the James River. Lynchburg, Va., Aug. 11—But for the cantilever construction of the Southern bridge over the James river, a short distance north of Lynchburg, train No. 29 of that system would have gone into the river yesterday after noon. The train was running probably .less than twenty miles an hour when the rails spread under the engine, throw ing the entire train, with the excep tion of the engine, off the track on a sharp curve less than a hundred feet from the approach of the bridge. The tender, postal car and combina tion baggage entered the bridge, pounding the heavy steel sides, the cars being scraped as though cut deftly with an adze. The front end of the first day coach jammed into the heavy end of the bridge, knocking the beam four feet out of plumb, while the car hung over a wall thirty feet high, nothing but the strength of the beam holding the car from toppling over. The other day coach, Pullman and cafe car were off the hails, but were not in real danger, as the train had stonned with them in no great danger. While the passengers were fright ened greatly, some of the women faint ing. not one of them or the crew re ceived a single scratch. The afternoon trains were routed around over the T. & W. and C. & O. via Buena Vista and Basic City back to the Southern at Charlottesville. YOUTH PAINFULLY SHOT. Deplorable Accident to Young Boy of Greenville. Greenville, Aug. 11.—George A. Browning received a message over the long distance telephone last night at 8 o’clock stating that his youngest son, .lames, had been accidentally shot by George A. Browning, Jr., at the Bla lock home, near Goldville, where Mrs. Browning and her children are visit ing. requesting him to come immedi ately as the child was dangerously wounded. No details of the unfortunate occur rence were given in the message, ex cept that George A- * accidentally caused a pistol he was handling to be discharged, the bullet striking the child In the cheek, passing through the face. Mr. Browning made an effort to se cure a special train in order to reach his wounded child, but was unsuccess ful in the attempt. He left this city over the C. & W. C. railway on the earlv morning freight for Goldville. No information regarding the deplor able affair has been received in the cirv except the telephone message re ceived by Mr. Browning last evening. The wounded child is eight vears of age. and is a very bright bov. His father was almost crazed wi^h grief over the occurrence. CONDUCTOR BULL INJURED, Loses His Right Leg and Two Fingers in an Accident. Charlotte, Aug. 11.—Capt. Charles Bull, conductor on No. (»4, a local freight on the Southern Railway, be tween Greenville and Charlotte, lost his right leg and two fingers of his left hand yesterday afternoon in an ac cident near Juno. The conductor fell from the top of the caboose, which, owing to the rain was slippery, and fell with his right leg aud hand on the rails. Trainmen hurried to his as sistance, but did not reach him in time to prevent the injuries narrated. The injured conductor was carried to the Presbyterian Hospital for treat ment. He will recover.

Columbia, Aug. 13.—The mean tem perature for the week ending Monday, August 14th, was slightly above nor mal over the eastern half and slightly below over the western. The ex tremes were a maximum of 103 de grees at Blackville on the 8th, and a minimum of G4 degrees at Greenville on the 9th. .There was less than the usual amount of sunshine. High winds, damaging to corn and cotton, prevailed during the middle of the week in the western counties. Bot tom lands were flooded along the up per portions of the Saluda, Broad, Wateree, and Great Pee Dee rivers and their tributaries, and consider able corn destroyed. The long drought was broken over the entire State. The rainfall was heaviest in the central coun’ies where it amounted, in places, to over six inches, and was least in Beaufort and Georgetown counties, where it was generally less than half an inch. There was rain nearly every day and the ground is now thoroughly satuat- ed. The rain was needed and in places was very beneficial, but in others it caused deterioration in crops, especially cotton, and interfered with farm work, especially haying and pul ling fodder. Nearly all crops have been laid by, and further cultivation is now impracticable. With very few exceptions, the re ports on cotton indicate rapid dete rioration due to excessive shedding, rust and the plants turning yellow. These conditions prevail over practi cally the entire State, but are most marked on sandy lands. In many places growth has stopped, while in a few the plants are making new growth. Bolls are opening rapidly in the south central counties and con siderable has been picked. The ex cessive heat of the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th was very damaging on cotton. There is a general improvement in the condition of late corn due to the ample moisture w ? hich came oppor tunely. Tobacco curing is nearly j finished. Peas, sweet potatoes and all varieties of cane are doing well. The frequent rains interfered with preparations for fall truck crops. Rice made fine progress. Pastures improved rapidly and again afford fine grazing. Turnips were sown ex tensively. Late fruits, especially ap ples and peaches are rotting badly. D.* D. D.

Under a sweltering sun they had marched till their feet were blistered and they were weary in the extreme. At last Private Hopkins “felj, out.” “Come along, man!” cried his cap tain. “The invading force is known to be in the neighborhood, and you’ll be captured if you stay behind.” But nothing would induce the val iant Hopkins to move another step: therefore the regiment went pn with out him. They had hardly nassed out of view, however, before Private Hopkins was observed to be pounding after his com rades at a sneed which would have done a professional athlete credit, a maddened bull close behind him ev idently supplying the necessary mo tive for haste. He reached them safely, the bull was headed off, and all was well. “I thought you said you wouldn’t walk another step?” remarked the captain.* “Great Scott!” cried Hopkins, mop ping his fevered brow. “You don’t call that walking, do you?” General G.
