An accident occurred on the track
of the Northwestern railroad about a
mile from town last week, which may
have been very serious. A colored
man by the name of Mac Green, who
resides h few miles from Surnmerton,
attempted t?? cross the railroad track
n a wagon just as the train was re?
aming from St. Paul. It seems that
he train was backing und he saw
M liKhts. and heard no .whistle, and
yas rljcht on the track when he dls
asjassji the rear of the train at his1
vagon wheels. Green jumped from
he wagon, but the horse was knocked
lown and killed.
Willie, the 9-year-old son of Mr.
\braham Nimmer, of this p'.ace was
Paasjgesj the track in front of the train
i few days ago. when the "cow-eatch
er" struck him, and knocked hhn
off. but fortunately knocked him out
of further danger, and the blow re?
ceived caused r??. serious injury.

Coe Association Meeting.
Dalsell, Nov. 17.?Everybody is bo
buiy now, gathering corn and cot?
ton, lowing oats and vetch that they
what 1 hear among the tanners, this
community will put In a pretty heavy
Crop Of oats. Many of them say
there is no money in cotton, as the
?peculator! seem to be able to size up
the crop before it is put on the mar?
ket and know about how much to ?f?
ter for it, so the producer Will have i
nothing left, except life enough to
make another crop.
The weather this week is fine, with
these risp frosty mornings and clear
sunshiny days, the farmer is putting!
in good time.
Last week the IUack Hiver Baptist
Association was in session at Morebl
church iti which very much interest,
among those good people, was mani?
fested. The meeting closed on Sun?
day night with a sermon delivered by ?
Mr. Gordon of Paxvllls, s. c.
(Jetting back to the cotton question,!
we can truthfully say that the bulk isi
out and sold. If the price does ad-1
vata e our people will not be benefited
mtlCh as the remainder that is to go,
on the marke? will be rather small. |
The school building Is now complet?
ed and the teachers and pupils will
move into their new quarter* within j
the next few days. The community
now has a magnificent school house,
second to none, outside of the .city of
Sumter, and for convenience, it will
push the city's buildings pretty close.
We are not much disposed to boast
00 what we have, but will say, if any j
of your readers would like to see an
up-to-date school and building, all'
they have to do is to come to Dal-i
zell, where we can show them an
eye opener. We have two of the best j
teachers and seventy-live of the pret-;
tlSSt school children, as well as the
most up-to-date building within the
rural districts of the county.
Well, we suppose the an. ? 1
odist Conference will soon meet at)
Kock Hill. I reckon the chickens!
around there will do like the Pee Dee;
Advocate told us, they did some years
ago at Conway when a Baptist As?
sociation was held there, they will
all go into the ministry.
I wonder what has become of Mr.
Grata- and Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wha-j
b y? I have not heard anything of i
any of them lately. If Mr. Whaley
and Mr. Hughes will come up around
Dulzell on that kind of business and
use that $12,000 we read about, as.
i ait, I will wager they will get some j
bites. It does seem that wo are go
lug to have more candidates for gov?
ernor than we will know what to do
with. 1 never heard of so much j
timber of that kind presenting itself
before, I
1 see that Huerta keeps on raising
sand and won't listen to Uncle Sam's
advice. If I were as near out of mon?
ey as he seems to be, I think I would
beg Uncle Bam'l pardon and see If
I couldn't borrow a little from him.
But then all great men do not see ev?
erything alike. If he keeps on cut?
ting up until he gets France, Ger?
many, Bngland and the United states
all against him, 1 expect he will find
it so hot, ho will feel like taking a
shower bath with a little ice in it.
In all my life, 1 never heard of so
many needy people. I keep getting!
notes and messages to "please call and
let me have some money." It has
gotten so of late that some are com?
ing around in person, all wanting!
money, I reckon the tax collector
will be around next.

Mis. Hammond Makes Pleas for
Healthy Marriage.
_
Washington, Nov. 15.?A national
society lor the promotion of practi?
cal otlgenlci was suggested by Mrs.
John Hays Hammond at today's meet-!
ing of the eugenics section of the
American Association for the Study
and Prevention of Infant Mortality.
As a result of her suggestion a com?
mittee was appointed to meet the eu?
genics committee of the American
Breeders' association to discuss the
question.
Mrs. Hammond declared that with
an organisation such as she proposed,
"individual and governmental action
could bo secured which within a gen?
eration would reduce infant mortality
to a minimum."
"The greatest need of today," Mrs.
Hammond added, "is education as to
how to increase the biological capital
with which a baby enters on life's bat?
tle. More than half tho processions
of white coffins in Washington are as?
sured before the birth or at the hour
of birth of their little occupants."
That the sentiment and romance of
marriage was not destroyed by eu?
genics was asserted by Dr. Evangeline
W. Young of Boston, who declared
she had seen just as true romance as
she would wish to find in young
couples seeking eugenic marriage.
The boy, as much as the girl, she
said, needs instruction in the spiritual
significance of marriage. The double
standard of marriage, she averred,
makes it a hypocrisy which the twen?
tieth century will not stand.
Condemnation of the "little moth?
ers" movement was scored by Dr.
Helen C. Putman of Providence, R. I.,
who said that "babies have the right
to the care of intelligent mothers In?
stead of elementary school children."

Wilmington, Del., Nov. 16.?Gov.
Charles R. Miller today issued a state?

and declared that method of punish?
ment for criminals in Delaware would

for it is repealed, "regardless of any
attempted Interference by a member
of congress or of Individuals residing
in other States."
"I shall uphold the State courts in
the administration of law and warn
evil doers to give Delaware a wide
berth if they wish to escape the whip?
ping post," he declared, after assert?
ing that any who had protested had
been misled.

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's
tonic. She says further: "Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman's Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman?
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
