N. C., Aug. 21- Ne«va reached here today of a most sensational close to a revival meet ing which has been conducted at Du rant's Neck, near here, for the past several days. A so-called sanctified ^readier by the name of Lingerfeldt had been holding a meeting there. Concluding that he needed heln, he sent to another sect!''" for a woman preacher. She promptly came to his I assistance, reaching the place last | Wednesday. Then followed three i days of sermons and long prayers on I th^ part of the woman revivalist. At i th- close of the service Saturday H. s A. Goodman, a highly respected citi- | "--i of the community, took the wo- ; man lo his house for the night, while the man went, to the home of another I "entleman. After a short time he, too. felt attracted towards Mr. Good man’s home and hired a negro to i tak- him there. Mr. Goodman’s sus picions were aroused and he deter mined to watch the pair. These sus picions were later confirmed and their conduct was such that he at i once demanded that they leave the ’ house and the community, as the peo- p’~ would stand for no such conduct. He was obdurate against a’l denials and pleadings and at 3 o’clock in the morning the couple went to the rail road station and took the first train for parts unknown. At the church Sunday morning a large crowd gathered to attend ser vice but no preacher showed up. It will be a long time before they are heard from again. The people of the community are indignant at the im position which has been practiced upon them. It is reported here tonight, oji what seems to be absolutely good author ity. that the woman referred tr» in a previous message is Mrs. M. V. R. Wicks, a traveling minister of the Congregational Methodist) church, who recently conducted a series of revival services in the Pearl street Methodist (Northern) church here. It is a fact that she had conducted meetings in many American cities. Site exhibited copies of The Wash ington Post and other prominent pa pers which contained flattering news regarding her work. She claimed to 1’- a niece of Cecil Rhodes, and an — to a large fortune in London. While here she solicited funds for a supposed industrial school at Way- cross, Ga. Citizens contributed lib erally. They now believe that they were fleeced out of their money by an adventuress. FACE HORRIBLY MUTILATED. Engineer R. L. James Struck the Face by a Piece of Timber. Salisbury, N. C., Aug 21.—Engi neer R. L. James, one of the best- known men on the Western North Carolina division of the Southern, was very badly disfigured last night on his way to Asheville. He was pass ing a siding known as Majolica, five miles west of Salisbury. He ran late and. having orders to meet a train at a certain place, was making fast time. He was leaning out of the cab, a* is the wont of engineers, and watching the track, which runs into a deep cut above. There were some cars loaded with lumber on the long siding there and a projecting piece of timber caught the side of his face fa’*- and literally tore it off. The end of his nose was cut off. his right cheek was taken from the bone and the molars knocked out. Mr. James sank into his cab and the engine was taken in charge by the fireman, who pulled it until he met a train upon which Mr. James was put and sent back to Salisbury. The outgoing passenger that he was guiding was taken on by another engineer and he placed in the Whitehead-Stokes sanitarium for treatment. BAN ON MATRIMONIAL TRAPS. Rigorous Campaign Against Opera tions of “Love Syndicates.” (Washington special to New York Herald.) It is the desire of the postoffice de partment to break up as many as it can of matrimonial snares like that which Mrs. Bina F. Verrault-Hamil- ton-Montgomery is charged with hav ing successfully operated in New York and elsewhere. The policy of the postoffice department is now and will continue to be exerted in di rection of issuing fraud orders against adventuresses of this type. Their mail will be withheld from them just the same as it is held from “geLrich-quicl:-” enterprises. *The postofflee department officials believe that these matrimonial snares are in the same class. Francis J. Carmody, Assistant. Dis trict Attorney, of New York, who was in Washington today., expressed the opinion that the exposure of this lat est matrimonial pitfall will result in other games of a smaller character being revealed. The department of justice iij coop erating with the postal authorities in the campaign. NEGRO GIRL STEALS JEWELRY. Operates in Large Scale in Durham and Lands in the Toils. Durham. N. C..

SKIN DISEASES ACNE TET ECZE -f* —s mg There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burn- P ^ 0 R I Si * ° skin disease, and upon the return of warm weather those lOUfilf^Oa^j who are afflicted with skin troubles find the symptoms appear- QAIT D U sT ! ] ing and know that they will be tormented through the hot ^ ^ * Bin U 11 • summer months. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced to the surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with exter nal applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble which is in the blood. The most such treatment can be expected to do is, alia}’ the itching and burning and cover up the trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns. All food taken into the body contains,■in some form, the elements necessary to sustain ^ the different parts. One portion is used for the making of blood, another for muscle, one for bone, still another for fat, and so on. After these different properties are ex tracted from the food there still remains a portion that is useless, or waste matter, which is intended to be disposed of through the natural channels of bodily waste, the Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. At this season of the year, however, these organs become torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform this duty, and these accumulations remain in the system and are absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and acrid humors. The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this impure condition, and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Acne, Eczema, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description. ECZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It THE ITCHING WAS ALMOST UNBEARABLE. Dear Sirs—My body broke out with a rash or eruption which in spite of all efforts to cure continued to get worse. The itching, especially r.t night, was simply terrible; it would almost disappear at times, only to return worse than ever. I had tried many highly recommended prepa rations without benefit, and hcar.ng of S. S. S. determined to give it a fair trial, and was inexpressibly delighted when a few bottles cured me entirely, removing every blemish and pirn; e from my body. I shall not fail to rec ommend S. S. S. whenever an opportunity occurs to do so. Escondido, Cal. L. MARNO. is generally on the back, breast, arms, Tgs and face, though other parts of the bod}’ may be afflicted. In TETTER the skin dres, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. The acid in the blood dries up the natural oh.; of the skin, causing adiy, feverish, hardened condition and giving it a leathery appearance. ACNE makes its appearance on the face in the form of pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appear ance, while PSORIASIS;, a scaly disease, comes in patches on different parts of the body. One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALTRHzUM. It discharges a watery fluid, form ing sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected, and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp. • These and all skin diseases are due to the same cause—burning acids and humors in the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made pure they will continue. The best treatment for all skin diseases is-S. S. o., a remedy that is purely vegetable, being made en tirely from roots, herbs and barks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing effect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so th t the skin, instead of being blistered and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a s’ ply of cooling, healthy blood. It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of waste or foreign matter, builds up the blood and cures all skin diseases promptly and permanently. S. S. S. does not leave the least par-. tide of the poison for future outbreaks, but entirely rids the blood of the cause for all skin diseases. S. S. S. tones up the system and regulates the Liver, Kidneys and Bowels so that they will carry off the natural waste and refuse matter through the proper channels, instead of leaving it to be absorbed by the blood. Nothing equals S. S. S. in the treatment of these troubles and for building up the general health. Write for our treatise on skin diseases and any medical advice you wish.

Mr. Clews was in a hurry. The train made its sixty miles an hour all right, but the financier thought it the slowest train on earth. He eald so to the conductor. That dignitary, as usual, took the remark as a personal Insult. He didn’t know the financier. “If you don’t like the speed of this train mister.” he said, “you can get out and walk ” Hr. Clews was not crushed. He countered with this, "I would, only thev don’t expect me until this train gets in.” So Mother—So Son. Vincent was altogether too garru lous in school to please his teachers. Such punishments as the institution allowed to be meted out were tried without any apparent effect upon the bov until at last the head master de cided to mention the lad’s fault upon bis monthly repbrt. So the next report to his father had these words: “Vincent talks a great deal.” Back came the report by mail duly signed, but with this written in red ink under the comment: "You ought to hear his mother.” BuckKen’s Arnica Salve The Best Selve In The WerM.
