MAN’S LYc
^mvilie-'v'ventvvorth road when
Ss hit in the face vvith a sand
jjr Wiiiian Nissen’s chauffeur,
as he was motoring ovcr^the
oeidsviile. i uly 29 -A dange-
' jind dastardly deed was per-
by some one on the Rei-
■ ■'' li.
i
s
d The sack burst and Hon-
^vcutt’s eyes were filled with
fL sand, With a rare prestjnce
iVniind be brought his machine
J: 3 standstill within three feet
a telephone pole. He was
completely blinded and it is con-
si^dered marvelous that the mac
hine was not upset when it ran
into a ditch. The chauffeur was
/■arried into a farm house and
his eyes washed. The car was
occupied by Mrs. Noosen and se
veral other ladies. It is throught
that the party who threw the
4nd'bdg was in waiting for a
jjegro driver of T. B- McGehee’s
car, but this is only surmise. It
was dark, and it is supposed the
party made a mistake, as Honey
cutt’s car had been on this par
ticular road only once before. '
Messrs. Jesse C. Young, Glc7
nn East and John Burton farmers
of the Ruffin neighbors were
waylaid just this side of Danville
a few evenings ago. . Two negros
without v>rarninK struck young a
violent blow with a,stick across
the forehead and felied him to
the ground. Though stunned
he drew from his pocket a pistol,
fired twice at the fleeing assai'-
ants, who broke and ran immed
iately on seeing his hand to his
hip Young, who bled freely from
a savage cut, believes the object
of the attack was robbery.
A shooting scrape occured at
Mayodan Friday alternoon Jate,
when Lid Dalton shot Sam
Brown in the thigh with a pistol.
The^twomen had some words,
it is said, Dalton threw a large
knife at Brown, who ran out of
the door of the market and
threw a bottle bac,k at Dalton.
The latter then drew a pistol
and fired twice at Brown. Only
one shot took effect and that is
onlv a ^esh wound.
Ten Things To Do In August
Keep up the cultivation of late
crops and of the garden; chances
are that all the moisture in
the soil with be needed.
2. Make hay—cut the pea vines
as fast as the pods begin to turn
and rake care of everything that
will make good feed.
3 Refrain from pulling fodder,
and arrange to sav^ethecorn crop
in a more economical manner,
4. Begin preparations for the
fall seeding; work all land to go
into wheat or oats into fine
tilth just as soon as present
crops come off.
5. In the cooler parts of our
territory sow crimson clover; in
ail sections get seed or clover,
rye, the vetches, etc., and be
ready to sow them for winter
cover.
6. Plant an alfalfa patch the
last of the month; also rape and
tnrnips for late fall end early win
ter pasture.
7. If the pasture turn dry,
give the cows some extra green
stuff; keep the hogs growing add
ing a little grain to the pasture
if early fattening is des
ired.
b. Cleans up inside and out—
kf^'ep the flies out; drain the mos-
( uito-breeding place whitewash
and disinfect the poultry houses
and pig pens.
9. Get the briers, bushes, etc.,
out of the fields: cut weeds be
fore they seed.
10. Begin now to prepare for
the permanent improvements ne
eded on the place--new fences,
tiie drainage, the doing away
with ditches and banks, repairs
to buildings, and so on.

Sidetracking James.
My sister’s got a feller, and a
hit I’ve made with him.
My sister calls me “James, ” but
he ’most always calls me “Jim,”
An’ say we’re friends. He asts
about bird nests and swimmin’
holes,
An^ tells me about breathin’ deep,
an’,about vaultin’ poles,
But sister she looks at the clock.
One night she yawned and said,
“How time has flown! I think it’s
time for James to go to bed.”
But! just wouldnt go to bed: I
wanted to stay there.
An' she was mad as all git out,
But gee! 1 didn’t care.
Her feller pulled two bended nai^s
out of his pocket and
He said. "This here's a puzzly.
Jim,” an’ put’emin my iiand.
“I’ll bet you can’t get them
apart,” An’ I said “Bet I do!”
He said: “We’ll sit on the porch
an’ leave the room to you.
An’ when you've got them things
apart just give the door a,knock
I’ll bet a nickel ypu can’t get it
done by 10 o’clock”
An'it was sure iome puzzle! I
tried an' tried an’ tried,
An’ I was still a-try in’ when they
corft6 in from outside,
An’ then he showed me how it
was an’ it was slick as pie,
An' every night when he has
come he’s had something that I
Could work on, an’ he says that
I am most iridustrious:
An’ sister’s interested, too an’
she don’t make no fuss,
But jest gits up and goes with
him outside the room, so she
Won’t git my mind oif my work
or interfere with me.
She ast him once; “When James
has got them done, where shall
we be?”
An' he said “There are other
tricks: jest leave this thing to
me.”
An’ it’s jest heaps of fun to work
on them the way I do.
An' every time he comes; around
he brings me something new,
An' *^hey go 'way and let me be,
don't bother me at all;
They sit together on the porch
or out there in the hall
To wait till 1 learn how to do the
thing I’m workin’ on.
An’ almost fore I know it all the
evenin’ will be gone.
Pm glad she’s got him fora beau
I’m kinder stuck on him—
When sister calls me “James” he
' always says my name is, ‘Jim. ”

New York, July 31.—Four
hundred girls, members of the
dressmakers’ union employed at

Food prices are coming down.
Naturally. There was no

Owing to the disruption of
commercial relations between It
aly and Turkey consequent upon
the outbreak of war, the latter
country is now looking, to other
sources to supply the merchandise
formerly furnished by Italy.
During the last few years Italian
cotton goods manufacturers in
particular have had much success
in the Turkish field but the com
paratively large volume of trade
they had acquired is now going
largely to other countries, this
condition of affairs makes very
timely a report just issue^by the
bureau of manufactures Depart
ment of Commerce and Mibor, in
which Commercial Ageat Ralph

a year has been in \ estigating the
cotton goods trade^of Vayrions Eu

of his Study of the T«i*kish mar

Pains All Overt
*You are welcome,” says Mrs. Nora Guffey, bl Broken
Arrow, Okla., “to use my letter in kny way you want to,
if it will induce some suffering woman to try Cardui. I had
pains all over, and suffered with an abscess. Three phy
sicians failed to relieve me. Since taking Cardui, 1 am in
better health than ever before, and that means much tome,
because I suffered many years with womanly troubles, of
different kinds. What other treatments I tried, helped me
for a few days only.”
