I had doctored for over two years steady j and spent lots of money on medicines besides, but it all failed to help me My monthly pe riods had ceased and I suffered much pain, with fainting spells, headache, backache and bearing-down pains, and I was so weak I could hardly keep around. As a last resort I decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful that I did, for after following your instructions, which you sent me free of all charge, I became regular and in j»erfect health. Had it not been for you I would be in mv grave to-day. “ I'sincerely trust that this letter may lead •very suffering woman in the country to write you for help as I did.” When women are troubled with ir regular or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of an organ, that bearing-down feeling, inflamma tion. backache, flatulence, general de bility, indigestion or nervous prostra tion, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy.

Most Important Mercantile Establish ments of the Town in Ruins. Rutherfordton, N. C., July 2.—An other disastrous fire has swept Ruth- erfonlton, leaving behind it terrible evidence of the need of some efficient water supply for the town. This morning, just six weeks to the day since the fire which consumed the M. Levi stores and which threatened the court house, the Sun office and other buildings, a fire broke out which soon assumed even larger proportions than this recent one. Only the very hardest kind of work saved a general conflagration, and. as it was. the dam age wrought was so serious that there are now eight of the most important mercantile establishments of. the city in ruins. Nothing but the bars walls remain where on Sunday there stood the buildings occupied by the stores of Scoggins & Scogigin, Southern Ex press Company, T. B. Twitty, Miller Hardware Company, Rutherfordton Hardware Company, C. W. Keeter, proprietor, R. P. Geer, Son & Compa ny. the Bee Hive, S. 1*. Houser and the Citizens’ Bank. Three of these buildings were two-story structures, the upper floors of which were occu- •ded by the office of Justice & Mc- Rorie, G. H. Mills & Son, R. S. Eaves, Morris & Morris, K. of P. Lodge, D. F. Morrow and John Boyce Miller s job printing office. The best thing about the fire, if such an expression may be used in regard to it. was the spirit displayed le' some ladies who, attracted as spectators, remained to join the forces of the workers, and worked like Tro jans in the ranks of the bucket bri gades and wherever tdse thev could be of anv service. To the credit ot a largo number of men be it said that they tried to make them stop, hut the correspondent is ashamed to have to record the fact that many strong, able-bodied men stood about and watched them without raising a hand to help or to stoo them. We are glad t say that usually the men of Ruth erfordton are neither afraid of work- op danger, but to men of ordinary gentlemanly instincts this incident was disgusting in the extreme.

A West Point Cadet Has His Leg Lengthened. (New York Times.) Walter Wilde, the West Point fourth classman who last, fall had his right leg so badlv crushed that when ii mended it was three inches shorter than the other one. will re-enter West Point this fall. To get back to the academy the cadet has suffered ago nies. allowing the doctors to break his leg in several places in order that by weighting it. it might be restojed to normal condition. Young Wilde, who is one of Presi dent Roosevelt’s personal anpointees, entered West Point in the fall of 1905. In September last he was horseback riding when the horse fell, rolled over him, crushing the bones of his right leg. Realizing that it would be impossi ble to continue bis military education uith such a handicap, Wilde consult ed with a number of eminent sur geons. who finally told him that if he would submit to a very painful | and unusual operation his leg might possibly he restored to its proper length. Wilde immediately consent ed to undergo the operation. Accordingly the young man went to the Polyclinic Hospital, in Phila delphia, where the operation was per- j formed. The bones in the short leg I were broken and immediately reset. This done, the surgeons attached a very heavy weight to the legy by means of a rope and pulley. The limb was then drawn out from the cot and Wilde was informed that it would have to remain in that position until the bones had re-knit. For two months Wilde lay upon his cot in the Polyclinic with the weight attached to his leg. Never once did he complain and his fortitude'-excited the wonder and admiration of the sur geons and nurses. A few days ago the surgeons examined the leg and I told Wilde that his sufferings was at an end. The weight was removed and Wilde stood up for the first time in over eight weeks. His legs were the same length. Next fall he "'111 re-enter the ‘ academy without any physical defects. Negro Porter in Columbia Now in Hands of Federal Authorities. Columbia. July 2.—As a result of th~ theft of mall at the transfer sta tion at the union depot, extending from last December up to the present time. Postoffice Inspectors Pulsifer, Bannerman and Webster have placed in jail a negro named Sam Williams and other arrests are expected to fol low later. It was along about the first of the year that the complaints ‘began to come into the postoffice from parties expecting packages by mail. Time after time these complaints would be registered and the postofiice authori ties did everything they could to stop the thefts and catch the guilty par ties. On several occasions eight or nine packages would be stolen at once and it became evident that the thefts occurred at the mailing trans fer station at the union depot. Coif stant complaint like these could not come in and the theft not he detect ed at the postoffice where there is a constant change in distribution and where is absolute system for check ing up packages and letters that, have gone astray. The students at the col leges, the traveling men, the gover nor and many prominent citizens lost packages and sometime letters, and finally Dr. Ensor, the postmaster, wrote a letter to thfr authorities at Washington about the matter. As a result Inspectors Bannerman, Pulsifer and Webster were detailed o" the work and for several weeks kept an eye on the place. Finally on June 2b. Mr. Bannerman addressed a letter to a Chicago firm and enclosed in it a dollar bill and fifty cents in silver. This was done in the presence of tiie other two inspectors. The let ter was given to Mr. C. P. Murray, one of the transfer clerks at tfre sta tion. On June 21, Mr. Bannerman went to the train where the letter was to have been mailed and sau Sam Williams, one of the negro porters at the transfer station, hand a number j of letters to the mail clerk on the I train. The decoy letter was not in J the bunch. The inspector at once j confronted Williams apd while the negro denied all knowledge of the | letter he was caught in the act of I dropping it behind him. Williams was arrested and it was j decided to bring tip a case against J Mr. Murray, but the latter proved | that lie was innocent and the Fnited j Stair? commissioner here gave Wil-j liams a preliminary. Upon the evi dence procured he was sent to jail , to await trial at the November term j of the United States court. A Square Deal Is assured you when you buy nne of Dr. Pierce’s family medicines—for all the in gredients entering into them are printed on the bottle-wrappers and their formula are attested under .nith as being complete and correct. You know just w bat you are paying for and that the ingredients are gathered from Nature’s laboratory, being selected from the most valuable native medicinal roots found growing in our American forests and while potent to cure are perfectly harmless even to the most delicate women ami children. Not a drop of alcohol enters into their composition. A much better agent is used both for ex tracting and preserving the medicinal principles used in them, viz.—pure triple- refined glycerine. ThL agent pn»s<*ssr- intrinsic medicinal properties of its own. being a most valuable anti-septic a ml anti- ferment, nutritive and soothing demul cent. Glycerine plays an important part in Dr. I’ierce’s Golden Mislical Discovery in the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia and weak stomach, attended by sour risings, heart-burn, foul breath, coated tongue, poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stom ach. biliousness and kindred derange ments of the stomach, liver and bowels. Resides curing all the above distressing ailments, the "Golden Medical Discovery” is a specific for all diseases of the mucous membranes, as catarrh, whether of the nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels or pelvic organs. Even in its ulcerative stages it win yield to this sovereign rem edy if its use i>e persevered in. In Chronic Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is well, while taking the "Golden Medical Dis covery" for the necessary eonstitutioiia! treatment, to cleanse the passages freely two or three times a day with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course of treatment generally cures the worst cases. In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron chial, throat and lung alFeeiions, e.vceia eon- Siunption in Its advanced si ages, the "Gulden Medical Discovery” is a mo-a efficient rem edy, especially in those obstinate, hang-on coughs caused by irritation and congestion of the bronchial mucous membranes. The " Dis covery " is nut so good for acute roughs aris ing from sudden rohL, nor must it be ex pected to cure consumption in its advanced stages—no medicine will do that but for ail the obstinate, chronic coughs, which, if neg lected, or badly treated, lead up to consump tion. it is the best medicine that can be taken. r Two hundred Type writers taken in part payment tor (divers.

Mil- | lor. Esq., who has had the rinkham ; case under advisement since Thursday I of last week, this afternoon rendered his decision and Mrs. Pinkham was bound over to Superior Court under a $50 bond. This puts an end to a I matter which caused quite a little sensation last week when Mrs. Pink- ham was arrested at the instance of ; Mr. Leo Wallace, of V. Wallace & i Sons, wholesale clothiers of this city. ! The warrant was issued against Mrs. Pinkham for false representation and later anoth?r was sworn out by the J. ' H. Reid Company, the chargie being the same. The magistrate withheld his decis- i ion not upon anv material discrep- I ancy in the testimony, but because he j had a doubt that there was deliber ate intent of fraud. The fact that he i hesitated so long was evidence of the | difficultv ho experienced in coming to jhis final conclusion. Mrs. Pinkham, however, is being well treated; she 1 has never been humiliated more than I the dm pie serving of the warrant I would do and has not been in custody. | She will be allowed to appear upon her own recognizance at the August term of court.

(Washington Post.) E. H. Coapman, of Greensboro. X. C.. who is at. the Raleigh, announces in no uncertain terms that Kansas is not the only State in the Union need ing 20,000 men to garner the harvest. “More labor is needed throughout the South,” said Mr. Coapman. “Both the agricultural and industrial indus tries are crying for more men. Never before wag the South so prosperous, and I venture to say that in no other part of the country are the people prospering as they are in the South. In North iand South Carolina and Georgia, where I have been lately, the crops are looking fine. Cotton will show a large production. The ‘coast vegetable’ territory in the Caro- linas will more than double anv for mer output this year. In Georgia the fruit cron is fine. Early peaches have been bothered a little with brown rot, but nothing serious enough to jenoardize the crop. “The industrial advancement of the South cannot be appreciated unless personally investigated. It is nothing nowadays for a group of men to get together and build a half million dol lar cotton mill. All through the South the mills are being enlarged to double and sometime's to treble capacity. The negroes are all right to grow cotton, but they cannot work* in the mills. They go to sleep when attending ma chinery. Heretofore the laborers for the mills have been drawn largely from the mountains, but now the mountains are pretty nearly depopu lated. Immigration does not seem to tend toward the South. We don’t want the Southern European either.” DO YOU GET uc WITH A LAME BACK ? Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.
