Tft Chatham ttffrri H . A. LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY. MAY 28, 1913. The 23rd annual reunion of ex Confederate veterans is being held this week in Chattanooga, Tenn. While gayety, and enjoy ment abound at these annual oc casions, yet underneath all there is a touch of sadness as many of j these fast-departing heroes of the Lost Cause bivouac around the camp fires and renew -the stirring scenes of their boyhood for the last time. The culminat ing event of the reunion will be tomorrow when the grand par ade will be held. This is the sec ond time Chattanooga has thrown open her doors to the men the thunder of whose tread once shook a continent, well sustain ing on each occasion her reputa tion as a hospitable host. TiiAT was a most unfortunate death which befell B. S. Walker, the young Macon, Georgia, bank er at his home last Thursday, af ter bravely facing death for one week following his mistake in swallowinga bichloride of mercu ry tablet It was just one of those fatal mistakes in taking a poison ous drug for a harmless remedy which happen so frequently here and there. In this instance the unfortunate man had intended to take a headache tablet but in some way the poison tablets had gotten in the wrong box and he thus became the fatal victim of some one's carelessness. As soon as a physician reached him and discovered what a terrible mis take had been made, the doomed man was informed that nothing could save his life and that it was only a matter of two or three days before the end. Not withstanding this Walker battled bravely for his life and gave no sign of flinching but went to his death with a resignation that rendered his case interesting throughout the country. In this connection we believe it would be well for every State to have a law (.which exists in a few States now) requiring the label on every bottle containing a poison to have printed thereon an antidote for the poison. While in the above case it would not have saved the victim's life, yet frequently some simple antidote if promptly giv en would save the life of a per son taking a poison through a mistake. As is well known, the most wonderful deaf, dumb and blind person living is Miss Helen Kel lar whose alertness of mind and perseverance have caused her to .make such remarkable accom plishments despite her three fold affliction since birth. It is now claimed that a rival to this remarkable woman has been found in Chicago in the person of Dr. Jacob W. Bolton, whose ap pointment as attendant physician at the tuberculosis hospital at the Dunning asylum, Chicago, has recently been announced. At the age of 14 Dr. Bolton (who has been blind since infan cy) was graduated from the Illi nois State hospital for the blind and for many years travelled all over the country selling type writers, finding his way with out assistance and making a good living. Later he studied medi cine, being the first blind man to take the full four years' course in medicine and to pass the Illi nois examination for medicine and surgery. It is said that when he was graduated from the medical college he could name 500 of the 600 men in his class just by shaking hands with them Dr. Bolton is now only 25 years old and during the past few months has examined 3.500 pa tients at the municipal tubercu losis hospital less than 50 of whom knew he was blind. His diagnosis is made wholly by touch and he gives the exact temperatures by feeling the skin and can give exact pulse count without the aid of a watch. This blind prodigy says he can take his raised type books to bed with him and read all night in the dark, thus giving him an advan tage in studying. It is hard to . conceive how anyone so handi capped as this man was from birth could attain so great a success in the profession of med icinei - Picnic Became Panic. From the Charlotte Observer. Newton, May 24 An exciting experience, the lice of which has often been told in fiction, occur red yesterday on Baker's moun tain, six miles west of Newton, where Mrs. S. L. Herman's class of young girls of the Reformed church had met for a picnic. Soon after their arrival a part of the girls suggested a climb to the top of the mountain and little Ca milla Rhyne, 10 years old, accom panied them. About half-way up it began to rain and the girls started to run to a farm house a few hundred yards away. The little girl ran on ahead and took a path which led her in the oppo site direction from the place for which the party was headed. After the shower the girls re turned to the crowd and some one asked "Where is Camilla?" It was not until then that they discovered that she was lost. Searching parties were quickly formed by the men of the picnic party and farmers of the com munitv. Men went in every di rection over the mountain one man on horseback even going so far as to ride to the summit of mountain, a feat which hereto fore had never been undertaken. The search continued for three and one-half hours when the sound of a horn from the camp announced the finding of the lit tle girl. She had wandered on through two hard rainstorms un til she came to the home of W. P. Robinson, three miles from where the party was gathered. , She was drenched with rain, but Mrs. Robinson quickly dressed her in dry clothes and Mr. Rob inson started with her in a bug gv to find her friends. She did not seem to be excited in the least and told the story of her adventures as calmly as a much older person. It was near 4 o'clock when she was safely re turned to her friends. No din ner was spread during the entire day all too much concerned about the loss of their little friend. There was great joy among the party when Mr. Robinson ap peared on the scene with the lit tle girl in his buggy. The decis ion that had been reached by the searchers was that she had wan dered to the west side of the mountain and fallen over a cliff. Building Collapses Killing Many. Long Beach, Cal., May 24 Too weak to uphold the burden of nearly 10,000 human beings assembled for the festivities of "British empire day, the land end of the big double-decked mu nicipal pier in front of the city auditorium collapsed today. Hun dreds of persons on the top deck were plunged down on the heads of other hundreds crowded on the second deck. The lower deck then gave way and all were drop ped down a chute of shattered woodwork to the tide-washed sands 25 feet below. Thirty-four persons, mostly wo men, were killed by the shivered timbers or crushed to death by falling bodies of companions and friends. Fifty more were seri ously injured, while hysteria and fright caused the disabling of scores of others. A section of the auditorium which went down in the crash and the debris from it were add ed to the wreck that fell on top of the injured and dead. The victims were subjects r former subjects of Great Britain, residents in southern California. Cutting Train Saved Coach. Troy, May 24. The Colon and Mount Gilead train met with what narrowly escaped being a serious accident this afternoon at Lakey siding. The rear wheels of the last coach split a switch, taking the siding, while the rest of the train followed the main line. Cutting the train saved a coach from being overturned. The train was stopped in a few feet of an embankment. No one was hurt, although passengers were at the rear door, ready to jump. Sanford Express: The court house bell was rung for the first time Wednesday. It has a good clear tone and were it placed on top of the court-house it could be heard quite a distance. This bell weighs 750 pounds. It will be put on a frame made of cedar posts 20 feet high. - The Ral eigh, Charlotte and Southern Railway expects to be operating trains over its line between Ral eigh and Troy June 1st. So anx ious are the contractors to push the road through to Charlotte as soon as possible that on some sec tions of the work they are pay ing common laborers as high as $1.75 per day. A fatal automobile accident oc curred near Tarboro last Sunday afternoon when Mrs. Ed. Morris was killed, Mr. W. N. Arnheime probably fatally injured and Mrs. Arnheime and Mr. Morris also more or less injured. A bridge gave way overturning the carT It is said that before the end of this year ships will be sailing from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean through the Panama canal. Life Saved by Heroic Feat. From the Asheboro Courier. Some half dozen years ago Mr J. M. Rich, of this place, per formed a feat which certainly en titles him to a slice of the Car negie hero fund. It was like this: In July 1906 or 1907, one Mr. Levi Henly was working in a well belonging to the Randolph Chair Company. The well was not well timbered and it caved in. Bells were rung and whis tles were blown and soon most everybody in town had gathered around the yawning abyss which held its man. People at the top called to the unfortunate man, but he was speechless. Somen little time had passed and no fruitful effort had been made to rescue the man when Mr. Rich appeared on the stage of action and offered to go down in the well and if possible rescue the victim. A rope was made fast to his body and he was lowered into the well. Just before he reached his man another land slide came near ending Mr. Rich's existence. When he reachei the man in the well he found him wedged tightly against a wall by a piece of timber which had cat off his breath and prevented him from speaking. Removing the timber Mr. Rich tied the rope around his man and chanted to the men above to null them out. Mr. Henley was not seriously hurt but would have died in a short while had he not been res cued. Assuredly Mr. Rich is en titled to a medal for such hero ism. For the Weak and Nervous.

Nothing better for the stomach, liver or kidneys Thousands say they owe their lives to this wonderful home remedy. Mrs. O. Rhinevalt, of Vestal Center, N. Y., says: "I regard Elec tric Bitters as ne of the greatest, of gifts. I can never forget what it has for me" Get a bottle yourself and see what a difference it will make in your health. Price 50 cents and Recommended by G. Jl. Pilkington advt Lewis White, acred 19, was in stantly killed during a target practice on the Raleigh rifle range last Saturday afternoon when a stray bullet, fired from the 600 yards point, struck him in the forehead and shattered his skull, the bullet going through his head as if it had been paper. It will never be learned from whose gun the deadly missile was fired. The unfortunate ac- ciaent is said to have been un avoidable. Floyd Beam, publisher of the Lincolnton Times, died Saturday as a result of a pistol shot in nicted by Lewis Lee, proprietor of a local job printing establish ment. The two men had a dis pute over some business trans actions, and later in the day met on the street when, it is alleged. Lee shot at Beam five times. Rheumatism Quickly Cured. "My sister's husband had an attack of rheumatism in his arm," writes a well known resldentof Newton, Iowa 'I gave him a bottle of Chamberlain's Liniment which he applied to his arm and on the next morning the rheuma tism was gone." Jb or chronic uiuscu lar rheumatism you will find nothing better than Chamberlain's .Liniment. Sold by all dealers, advt Henry M. Flagler, aged 83, the noted capitalist and railroad mag nate, died at his winter home at West Palm Beach, Florida, last Wednesday, after an illness of several weeks. - Wonderful Skin Salve. Bucklen's Arnica Salve is known everywhere as the btst remedy made for all diseases of the skin, and also for burns, bruises and boils. Reduces inflammation and is soothing and healing'. J. T. Sossaman, publisher of News, of Cornelius, N. C, writes that one box helped his serious skin alment after other remedies tailed. Only 25c. Recommended by (J. R. Pilkington. advt There are plenty of fellows who could teach a better school than those who teach ; preach a better sermon than those who preach ; who could run a better business and publish a better paper. Yea, the woods are full of them, but they neither teach, preach, run a better business or publish abet ter paper. They are like lilies of the fields they toil not, neither do they spin. -Exchange. Constipation Cured. Dr. King's NewLife Pills will relieve constipation promptly and get your bowels in health condition again.
