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.?

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

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"

right," was Uncle Ephraim's reiterated
rejoinder, "but de fac' is, boss,
I'se gwine to tell yer in confidence
dat dem ere shot was intended for
me."?Ch nton l/eader.

Watch the kidney secretions.
See that they have the amber hue
of health;
The discharges not excessive or
infrequent;
Contain no''brick dust like" sediment.
Doan's Kidney Pills will do this
for you.
They watch the kidneys and cure
them when they're sick.
W It White, liyingon South Bouudry
St., Manning, S C, says: "I suf.
fered from kidney complaint for some
' * C
years, i was iorceu 10 arise lre^ucuuly
during the night on account of
the too frequent action of the secretions
and I also had severe backaches
and sharp pains across my loius. 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. I used but one
box when the pains were banished
and the lameness and soreness disappeared.
I d? not have to get up
nights te pass the secretions, and am
feeling twenty years younger. I
highly recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills and can say that I never used a
remedy that gave me such prompt
relief."
