WAGON HAULING CONTEST W FOR STEEL RANGE. Er Bewley Hardware Company Works A Novel Advertising Scheme. For weeks Itewley Hardware I the tirm now doing business at the tr old (>et/.el stand, had been adver- w tising the free gift of a handsome CI ste? I range, for the man or men <h who hauled up in front of their br store the largest number of persons II in one wagon or any kind of al Vehiele provided for the contest. In This contest was to take place on d< Saturday, Sept. 1st, 1*2 o'clock was tin- closing time. u| As a result of the widespead w advertising of the affair and the ir< general interest attending a contest 01 of tliis kind, ii great crowd of peo- In pic, between 1.">(K) and lit HX> as- S. send>led on the street around the tr: store. Only three wagons entered tn the contest. These In-longed to (' Messrs. .). A. Wilhurn, .1. L. Heine ru and J. K. Edwards. Mr. Wilhurn's wagon was a two he story affair and well loaded with j human lieings of various si/.es and de shapes, hut it hroke down near the all railroad crossing so was not in the j count. Mr. .T. L. Belue arrived with his great freight of human lives, 21">iSo licing the ntunher he carried. Hisi wagon was one belonging to Union county and used at the county, ci| fiirin. It had a wide platform UI1 construction with a railing around.

His wagon construction I,1] weighed about o(XH) lhs. and the j'' average was much less than 1<)(>, probably SO lhs. His whole freight | weighed then something like p;i 27(HKj lhs. tei The cause of his tardiness was j or that acting Mayor Long thought it unsafe to proceed after the wagon ??l readied the Peoples Supply Com-1 R!l paey, hecause of the down grade j^1 and the great crowd..

The prize was a steel range j ] valued at 84o.OO made by the i pi: l'hilipps and llurtorff Manufactur- fe ing Co. It was awurwed to Mr. tll< Edwards, hut because of his tardi- m< nes-; a question was raised as to the ,re fairness of the decision. In view; * of this Mr. Bewlev very generously m gave Mr. .J. L.

Fourteen cars were' 1111 jhmI into a ditch, and a negro akenian sustained serious hurt, j is arm was broken, and his leg i so but that latter is uncertain, cause of ditliculty in getting tails.

Mthough there is always more or , is typhoid fever in most of the larger , ies of this country, the late summer ' tl autumn are tire seasons when it is . )st to bo feared. I'lie disease is not so formidable, as ' jards the mortality, as some others, j 1 t its great length and the evil couseenees which sometimes follow it in ? form of weak heart, weak spine or ] rvons disorders make it quite as sells as some which are more fatal, but less protracted. ,'nless one knows how the disease Is t iially spread one cannot hope to 1 oid it, and so it may be useful to 1 nsider iu wliat ways the germs of e malady find their way into the sysai. Water is the usual vehicle for tyloid germs, as is well known, and obably all great outbreaks of the disse in cities are due to au infected liter supply. This has been strikingly j own in Philadelphia, where some rts of the city are supplied with Hired water and others with untiltered mixed water. Comparing two parts the city in which the conditions, ex|it as to water supply, are almost the me, it was found that in the one supe?l with illtered water the occurrence I te of typhoid fever was one in five msand, while iu the others, in which ? unfiltered water was drunk, it was I. in lI V 1 (utll I......1.^.1 tut a city with an Ideal water sup- ' v may he Roourged with typhoid | eer, although less severely, through s medium of Impure ice, and it is al- ! >st as important to know where the 1 i is cut, or with what water it is ule, if artificial, as where the city iter comes from. Not long since a mher of otttcers on one of the United ites ships in the Mediterranean , uadron were taken down with ty- ( oid fever. When the source of the . fection was traced it was found to be me ice bought at Athens, the ice ma- , ine on shipboard having broken ; wn. \notber source of infection is found oysters that have been fattened in earns contaminated with sewage. >t only has typhoid followed the eat? of these fish, but the typhoid bacilli ( ve been found in the stomachs of the sters. [taw vegetables used for salads may ve been grown in soil contaminated ith slops used as fertilizers or may ve been washed in infected water. Unless a water supply is above suasion all that used for drinking, tooth vmlng and In the kitchen should be i iled and the drinking water cooled putting vessels containing it on the ?. not by putting ice in the water it- ' !f. Finally, great care should be taken ' screen all food from flies, for if ' ere is a case of typhoid fever in the ighborhood flies may become most tlve distributors of the poison.? ruth's Companion.
