We tind thet they are in need of a

KILLED ON T&E RAIL.
James Robinson's Dead Body Found
on the Railroad.
Two colored men, J. W. HaramUl
and John Henderson, while going
home Monday night about 11 o'clock
found the dead body of Jim Robinson,
also colored, in the cut near the Fish
er street bridge.
It is supposed that Robinson had
beaten his way on the train from Char
lotte and had jumped off at the cut to
avoid riding under the lights at the
depot and running chances on getting
arrested.
When found he was lying on his
back with his head near the track and
his feet in the ditch, and his face was
badly bruised.
Robinson was an employe at the
railroad shops and lived at Spencer.
His wife was in Charlotte at the time
and Tuesday morning a telegram was
sent to her announcing the fact. No
reply was made to the telegram and
several friends met the 10.42 train at
the depot here, but she came not.
Later in the day a telephone message
from Charlotte stated that she was in
a hospital there and in a critical con
dition. She hud had a scrap with a
negro man named Robbins and drew a
razor on hini and he had retaliated by
whacking her on the head with a
stick, cutting a couple of deep gashes
that may cause her to disappear from
public view for a time at least.
The body was taken to the freight
depot where it remained until Tues
day.
A Young Life Cut Off.
r.Saturdav evening Forrest, the V-
y ears-old son of Rev. W. B. Oney of
Craven, this county, died suddenly,
death being caused by heart trouble.
Saturday morning Forrest was chop
ping wood when he was taken sick.
That afternoon lie went off a little
distance from the house and remained
for such a time as to cause some one
to go look after him. He was found
leaning against a stump very sick in
deed, andomplained with his heart.
The young man started towards tiie
house, but lftid taken only three or
four steps when he fell over dead. In
terment was made Sunday afternoon.
A Murder Theory.
The belief that Jim Robinson was
not killed by accident caused some
talk Tueaday evening and Coroner
Dorsett and his jury are not satisfied
that the man was killed by jumping
ofi a train. The verdict rendered by
the jury is:
"That James Robinson, colored,
came to death from wounds in the face
inflicted hv means unknown to us.

A Mean Trick.
How a travelling man will take ad
vantage of an eating house when the
right opportunluy is afforded was re
cently demonstrated in connection
wit a dining place in Michigan. One
morning lie was served with dough
nuts. He marked one with a private
mark. Three weeks later when he re
turned the same doughtnut was served
him. It was still in a good state of
presevation. To mark a doughtnut
that way, expressing jt mildlf, is a
mean trick. The test really amounted
to nothing, for there is every reason to
believe that the doughtnut would
easily have been in a healthy state at
the end of six months, had the com
mercial man given It a chance.
Damage In Stanly County.
A very disastrous freshet visited
Stanly lounty last week and the loss
of property Is generally estimated at
$100,000. The Albemarle Enterprise
says I. P. Ettrd of Erird's Mills had a
cotton gin and saw-mill with engine
and boiler, together with a number of
bales of cotton to wash down the
creek : most of the cotton lias been re
covered. The giain and saw-mil I of
Solomop Pless and the Barbee mill
and dam in Big Lick township were
entirely washed away.

A Prominent Pbyiticlan.
A prominent New York physician
in discussing the merits of Ripans
Tabules with a brother M. D. said :
Several years ago I asserted that
if one wished to become a philan
thopist, and do a beneficent deed
one that would help the whole hu
man race nothing could be better
than to procure the Roosevelt Hos
pital prescription, which is the basis
of the Ripans Tabules, and cause it to
be put up in the form of a ketchup
ana distributed among the poor. '

The largest retail drug store in
America is that of Hegeman & Co.
on Broadway in New York City.
A reporter whoavent there to learn

"Do you have

these?"
He was referred
to a gentleman who
E roved to be the

ment. He said : (
The sale of Ripans Tabules is
constant and is increasing, due
especially to the influential character
of the testimonials in the daily press,
and growing out of these, through
the recommendation of friend to
friend.. Satisfaction with them ia

An Elderly Lady.
An elderly lady living at Ford ham
Heights, a part of New York City,
and who was known to be a warm
advocate of Ripans Tabules for any
case of liver trouble or indigestion,
said to a reporter who visited her for
the purpose of learning the particu
lars of hex case : "1 had always
employed a physician and did bo on
thiast occ:-iion I had for one, but
at that time obtained no tieneficial
results. I had never had. any faifh
in patent medicines, but having seen
Ripans Tabules recommended vry
highly in the New York feral, con
cluded to give them a trial, and
found they were just what my caeo
demanded. I have never Employed
a physician since, and that means a
saving ot J a can.
A d jllar's worth of
Ri p an 8 Tabules
lasts me a month,
and I would not be
without them now
if it were my last
dollar." At the
time of tills inter
view there were
present two daugh
ters who specially
objected to their mother giving
testimonial which should parade her
name in the newspapers, -but to do
this the elder lady argued : '"There
may be other cases just like mine,
and I am sure I take great pleasure
in recommending the Tabules to any
one afflicted as I was. If the telling
about my case in, the papers enables
some other person similarly affected,
to be as greatly benefited as I have
been. I see no objection." The daugh
ters, knowing how earnestly she felt
about the benefit she had received,
decided she was quite right.
