"I had been troubled, a little, for nearly 7 years" writes Mrs. L, Finchcr, in a letter from Peavy, Ala., "but I was not taken down, until March, when I went to bed and had to have a doctor. He did all he could for me, but I got no better. 1 hurt all over, and I could not rest. At last, I tried Cardui, and soon I began to improve. Now I am in very good health, and able to do ali my housework," The WomasVsTonie You may wonder why Cardui is so successful, after other remedies have failed. The answer is that Cardui is successful, because it is composed of scientific ingredients, that act curativcly on the womanly system. It is a medicine for women, and for women only. It builds, strengthens, and restores weak and ailing women, to health and happiness. If you suffer like Mrs. Fincher did, take Cardui. It will surely do for you, what it did for her.

LAURENS (MEIN BOUND OVER TO COURT Accident at Greenville Cause? un Em barrassment to Men Returning from a Pleasure Trip to The Mountains. Some weeks ago when Messrs. W. H. Gosnell, J. D. Lewis and C. Bragg, all of this city, were returning from the mountains of North Carolina in Mr. Bragg's automobile, they met with an accident on the outskirts of Green ville, the car being torn up consider ably. In the confusion that followed officers came up end discovered the Laurens men were carrying with them a quantity of whiskey. Charges were made against the men and they were summoned to apepar in the federal court on the charge of transporting whiskey upon Which the revenue bad not been paid, a prelemlnnry wn? granted them Wednesday and they were bound over to the April term of the federal court. The affair is a very peculiar one in thai while the government seems to have technically a pretty good case against the men. their reputation would seem to hear out the conclusion that no conscious or malicious breach of the law was intended. The men ! seemed to ba\e been returning from the mountains and, as is customary on visits anywhere, were naturally bring ing to .their homes some of the pro duets of the country they had visited. In addition to tin* whiskey, they had in their possession other products such as vegetables. While Mr. Bragg has not been seen personally about the matter, a number of bis ncqunintences volunteered the belief that the affair was the result of an indiscretion rath er than an attempt to evade the law. The following is taken from The Greenville News, of Thursday, relative j to the proletnlnary trial: Messrs. W. H. Gosnell, J. I?. Lewis land C. Bragg, the three Laurens men who figured in the automobile acci dent which occurred Sunday after noon December 10tit, when the car i in which they were riding skidded in turning the corner of North and Hun combe streets, crushed Into a tele phone pole and wrecked the car and Injured Mr. Brngg, were given a pre liminary bearing yesterday morning I at 12 o'clock before Cnitod States Commissioner 15. M. Blytho on the cht!rgc of transporting whiskey upon which the revenue tax had not been j paid, and were I < und over to lite April term of the felted States court for trial. The defendants wore represented by Attorney \V. K. Riehey, Sr., of Lau r< us, and a local attorney. The pros ecution put up Revenue Officers Mer rier. Corn and Scruggs and Sergeant Adams and Officer Rector of the local , police force, to give testimony its to Wli( (her the whiskey which v.v.s s I'/.od by the revenue officers when the nu :.>n:obi!e was wrecked was blockade whiskey. This being a preliminary h? nrlng the defendants were, of course, allowed no v Itncsses, The main question with the prose cution seemed to hinge around the point of whether the whiskey In question was blockade whiskey, which is any whiskey upon which tin rovo liuu tax lias not been paid. To prove that the whiskey was blockade, the government introduced the testimony of revenue officers, who have for I years beer, destroying distilleries where blockade whiskey Is distilled, and are supposed to know the differ ence between blockade whiskey and that made by legal distilh rles, The government also proved that the whiskey in question was not distilled at a government distillery, as there is no government distillery In the im mediate vicinity where the whiskey was secured b> the defendants; In eases involving tire transporta tion of whisk y where i) is suspected that Ihe revenue tax on the whiskey has not been paid, i;' the amount of i.-e whiskey i.; in excess of five gal lons the government presumes that revenue tax has not been paid, and if the amount is less than live gallons the person charged with transportiUK the whiskey must prove that the la\ has been paid. This, according to Commissioner Blythe's ruling the de fendants were unable to prove and consequently, were bound over to the higher court. After the trial, each of the gentle, men were released on a bond of three hundred dollars for their appearance at the April term of the United States court. Sated Bis Wile's Life.
