found dead in a well on the store lot
of F. E. Smith on South Main sir et
about 1 o'clock today. The well has
a low curbing and two buckets and
the ground was wet and slippery
around it. It is the opinion of a prom

o'clock last night lor a drink of water
on his way home and in drawing the
water his fe< t slipped and he fell in
headforemost, ;is in* was found with

Mr. Bind worth was a genial voung

He clerked for the Yorkville Banking
and Mercantile company and the man
ager states that he was a good clerk
and that everything was right and
pleasant b tween them. He worked
satisfactorily for years for Glenn &
Allison in the stock business and they
esteemed him highly.

A mother should come to her child’s
aid at this critical time and remember
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound will prepare the system for
the coming change and start this try
ing period in a young gijTslife without
pain or irregularities.
Miss Emma Cole of Tullahoma.Tenn.,
writes:
Pear Mrs. Pinkham:
“ I want to tell you that I am enjoying bet
ter health than 1 have for years, and I owe
it all to Ly dia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound.
“ When fourteen years of age I suffered al
most constant pain, and for two or three
years I had soreness and pain in my side,
headaches and was dizzy- and nervous, and
doctors all failed to help me.
“ Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
was recommended, and alter taking it my
health began to improve rapidly, and 1 think
it saved my life. I sincerely hojte my experi
ence will be a help toother girls who are pass
ing from girlhood to womanhood, for I know
your Compound will do as much for them.”
If you know of any young girl who is
sick and needs motherly advice ask her
to write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass.,
and she will receive free advice which
will put her on the right road to a
strong, healthy and happy womanhood.
Mrs. Pinkham is daughter-in-law of
Lydia E. Pinkham and for t%venty-five
years has been advising sick women
free of charge.

Negro Row at Great Falls.
Great Falls, Nov. 20.—A negro
whose name cannot be learned at
present was shot twice here at 2
o’clock today by Phillip Uggin, a col
ored employee of the Southern Power
company at their works on the Ca
tawba river at this place. Liggin has
made no attempt to escape and no ar
rest has been made so far.
Bad women are said to be the cause
of the shooting.
Jim Glenn, also colored, was fright
fully cut about the head and neck and
beaten with sticks by two colored wo
men, Lizzie Palmer and another wo
man known as “Little Bit,” here this
afternoon about 4:30 o’clock. The
three were purchasing whiskey and
when Glenn pulled out his money to
pay his portion, “Little Bit” seized
a wallet of $23 and ran. In the fra
cas Lizzie Palmer was struck in the
head with a rock, her skull being
crushed. Her condition is extreme
ly critical and very uncertain. No ar-
res' have been made.
Immigrants Dissatisfied.
Anderson, Nov. 2<t.—Some of the
immigrants who came to Anderson
two weeks ago and started to work
in the Anderson cotton mills, became
dissatisfied yesterday. They quit
work and induced the others,
of whom seemed to very well
fled, to quit work also,
f Today the whole body, some
6<) in all. have been idle and
been having a great time
among themselves and to
German speaking people in the city.
Some of the. people will probably go
back to work.
It is stated on good authority that
those who have become dissatisfied
here, will be placed in other mills in
other sections of the State.
The trouble is attributed to agita
tors among their number.
"portion OF R.J. SLYNOLOSTOBACCO COMPANY’S PLANT 1906
The Largest, Best-Equipped and Cleanest Flat Plug
Tobacco Manufacturing Plant In the World
The Reynolds factories, equipped with
every modem appliance for producing the
best chewing tobacco by a clean, sanitary
and healthful process, under the direction
of men who have made the business a life
study, are located in the centre of the Pied
mont tobacco
belt, known to
the world as the
best productive
soil for tobacco
with an aroma so de
lightful, pleasing and
appetizing that it created and popularized
the fondness for chewing tobacco.
■ Only choice selections of this well-
matured, thoroughly cured leaf are used in
SCHNAPPS and others of the high-grade
Reynolds brands, and expert tests prove
that this tobacco requires and takes a smaller
amount of sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating and satis
fying effect on chewers.
schnapps is the brand that made the
Reynolds factories famous as the manu
facturers of the best and most popular brands
of chewing tobacco, and made necessary the
enormous growth
from a small factory
in 1375 to the ’arg-
est flat-plug fac
tory in the world.
The men who
started the
Reynolds Co., in 1875, are directing it to-day.
There aie a greater number of manufacturers
making imitations claimed to be just as p ood
as SCHNAPPS than any commodity manufac
tured; yet there arc mere pounds of SCHN APPS
chewed than the total amount of all imita
tive brands, or tobacco of similar appearance.
