Several of his neighbors sent teams to hel • him. This shows that he is either a good man and they wanted to help him. or else they were anxious to get rid of him. He had a very large hog in the pen that he didn't think' he could drive or haul well on a wagon, but Will Smarr, who is always equal to an emergency, proposed to take a sled and put the hog on it in an impro vised pen. Will hitched his two mules to the sled but found it too heavy. Henry changed with Will and put his two mules to the sled, with the same result. Finally they concluded that as the sled was so heavy they would pul all four mules to the wagon and fasten the sled to the hind axle of the wagon, and they made the trip all right. Nobody but Will Smarr and Henry McDaniel would have thought of such an arrangement. It was quite a show and reminded us some what of a man we once heard of who in going to mill met a man who told him he would kill his horse by carry- in 0 ’ such a turn on him. To remedy the matter the fellow took the turn on his shoulder, mounted the horse and rode on to the mill, thinking he was favoring his horse, by carrying the turn on his shoulder. It’s a mighty bad something there is no good at aM in. for when a wo man has the toothache she generally has to keep her mouth shut. l^ast Saturday Sam Strain found a crippled duck lying by the wayside a ion- ways from any house and he thought he would act the part of the good Samaritan. He put the duck in his buggy and brought it home and kept it until Monday morning, when Rufus Brewington called for it. and said he got it from Jeff Good, a dar- kev. and that he lost it out. of his buggy in some way. Sam turned the duck over to Rufus without any charge for his trouble with or care for the duck. Mr. Gist Howell and Mrs. Vines Howell are both very sick. A doctor is treating their cases. Mr. W. C.

But as on every mangy, suck-egg dog in the State there is a tax '-f fifty cents, there oue u to be on every gun a sufficient tax to make it too expen sive for irresponsible owners to keep them. La.-.t winter, just before Christinas, one of our merchants told us he had sold a doz n guns to col ored boys from twelve to twenty years old. and had orders for as many more if he had them.

But dispensary or no dispensary (and we prefer the latter all Hie time) the man who buys liquor from a blind ti”er or other person unauthoriz ed to sell it, should be made “nartieeps eriminis” with the seller in crime, and subject to the same penalties.

She was thrown from the trestle to tne ground below. A young negro girl, one of her pu- n ils, was with her at the time of the accident, and this child likewise re- o-ived painful injuries. The child was hit by the engine and knocked to the groun 1, receiving a hard blow on her head. At a late hour this afternoon both of the victims are living, but are un conscious.

AS TO FREIGHT RATES. Hearing to be Held Before Railroad Commission. Columbia, Nov. 11 —An important conference regarding inter-state freight rates will lie held before the railroad commission on the 27th, when the question of when the pres ent tariff published by the commis sion is binding on the roads will be canvassed. There is practically no difference between the rates charged and those published. The principal Point to be determined, it seems, is as to whether it is incumbent upon the commision to individually notify the roads of the published rates. The commission lias issued an order re quiring tiie roads to strictly adhere to the published rates beginning De cember 1st Lexington Man Killed by Accident. L-xington, N.

Physicians and scientists agree that the less medicine one swallows, the better. It L in keeping with this idea that Hyomel is recommended by leading physicians throughout this and other catarrhal sections. % When this treatment is used iu ca rarrhal troubles, there is no stomach dosing, for the medicine is taken in with the air you breathe, and goes right to the snot when* the catarrhal germs are present, healing the in flamed and irritated mucous 'mem brane, killing the disease germs and entering the blood with the oxygen, driving all catarrhal germs from the system. Do not try to cure catarrh of the head by putting medicine into your stomach.—this is neither a scientific nor common sense treatment. Breathe the healing balsams of Hyomei and In a few days you will notice relief, and its continued use will result in a comp’ete and lasting cure The Gaffney Drug Company have seen so many cures made by Hyomei amongst Its customers, several of them cases wh**re all hope of relief had been given up. that they give an absolute guarantee of cure, or money will be refunded, with ever outfit they sell.
