“Before I wrote to you, telling you how I I
felt. 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. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once
removes such troubles.
No other female medicine in the world
has received such widespread and un
qualified endorsement. Refuse all sub
stitutes.
F<>r 25 years Mrs Pinkham, daughter-
in-fawo/ Lydia E. Pinkham. has under
her direction, and since her decease, j

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.

AN UNUSUAL OPERATION.
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.

The Lady Bound Over.
Salisbury. N. July 2.—LL M. 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.

MORE LABOR IS NEEDED
Throughout the South—Prominent
Railway Man Talks.
(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.”
