^ f V v.". J Itv k BUZZARD STOPS COITON MILLS. Saort Circuits Power Line and Disables Many Factories. Yorkville, December 15:?He was just an ordinary, everv-day turkey buzzard, aud although it C03t him his Jzfe, he stopped numerous North fVrnlina rntton mills and other manufacturing plants for an hour or two last Friday, and caused the Southern Power Company considerable trouble and expense. There is no reason, however, to conclude that his action was due to malicious mischief. It was either late Thursday afteruoou or early Friday morniug that he was sailing along in the neighborhood of Nannie's mountain, about midway between the Power Company's main distributing station on Catawba river and the town ot Clover, w hen he espied one of the metal towers of the power line and concluded to tarry for awhile and alighted on it. Shortly afterwards, j be spread his wings until they came ' Uta u?A moiit vxrvti.* I ^ ill wuiaik mm nic mv uimu I'vn er lines on that tower. A 6hort cir<ettit was formed, but he knew it l not, as 44,000 volts had passed; through his body and burned it to:' a crisp, and at the same instant, ' burned the wires in two, allowing Mr Buzzard to drop to the ground, and causing cotton mills at Gaston- 1 ia, Dallas,Lincolnton,Maiden, Cher- ' ry vilie ar.d other points in North Carolina to stop short. They remained idle for possibly two hours ' at the end of that time the power was transferred to duplicate lines, carried by the same tower, and the mills resumed operation. The damaged line was out of commission for about twelve hours owing to the dif :?... ticulty the nneinen espeiitruceu m locatiug the trouble. It has been suggested that Mr Buzzard was a native Charlestonian aud was out on his first sight-seeiug tour, and when he saw the magnificently constructed power line with its 30-foot double steel towers and the 3 8 inch copper wire strung from tower to tower, and knowing that he had never seen any like it on Market street, his curiosity "to be shown" was so great that he almost involuntarily alighted. As to whether or not his lelatives will entei suit in the York county circuit court for punitive, actual and mental anguish damages has not yet been learned.? yews Courier. Polk Miller's Latest Mr Polk Miller, of Richmond, blew into the editorial office of the Advertisers , Almanack, of New York, like a fresh breeze from the South, a few days ago, and was promptly asked, of course, for the latest darkey story in Virginia. He said it was about substituting a wild turkev for a tame turken. One of his frieuds bought a turkey from old Uucle Ephraim and asked him, in making the purchase, if it was a tame turkey. "Ob,yais, sir; it's a tame tu'kev ol right," ' "*T T7..1. oi?a rnn otirn if'j * IN OW, Xjj'IJIUUU, llic )VU QUiv II, B j a tame turkey?" ' Oh, yais, sir; litre's no so't o' doubt'bout dat. It's a tame tu'key ol right." He consequently bought the tur- j hey, and a day or two later when ' eating it he came across several shot. I Later on when he met old Ephraim on the street he said: "Well, Eph- J raim, you told me that was a tame turkey, but I found some shot in it when I was eating it" <cOh,'dat war a tame tu'key ol i -.t ,-w. , .

At times I was so lame and stiff that V could hardly turn over in bed and mornings I found it very difficult to dress myself. If I sat down for a little while I cculd hardly arise and had been in this condition a long time without finding a remedy that would help me until I procured Doan's Kidney Pills.
