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.

Jay Williams, Colored, Discovered
Dead This Morning.
Greenville. 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. The conduct
or has a wife and several children

CROP BULLETIN.
Report of Condition of Crop* Through
out the State.
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.

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?”
