CHARLOTTE NEWS, SEPTEMBER 5, 1903 2 A Few Minutes The Recorder Anderson Lilly, who was charged yesterday with assaulting little three-year-old Elzie Branner. and whose case invs continued until this morning, was discharged today by the acting Re corder. Attorney Heriot Clarkson, who rppeaied for the negro, produced au thorities to show that the courts had .ruled the testimony of a child of tender years incompetent. The counsel also .slated that he was prepared to prove the Rood character of Lilly and that Lilly denied striking the child con tending that he simply pushed the hild nside, out of harm's way, when e .'ii.cird the Branner house to deliv er e. The court discharged Lilly with v .ining. to be exceedingly careful in ii.turt as to how he put his hand on a child, white or colored and if a similar charge was ever brought against him again, the court would take cognizance c. t" is alleged offense. .i. G. Oolvin. a young white man, submitted to a charge of trespass. Mr. J. Arthur Henderson, the complainant in this case, had sworn out a warrant .or the young man for larceny, charg ing that he entered Mr. Henderson's v.iemises and had helped himself to .grapes growing thereon. By agreement with counsel the warrant was amend ed, the young man submitted and was released upon payment of costs. Charles drier was charged by Tim Huey with assaulting him, but the ev idence showed that both had been quarrelling and that Tim made an ef i'oit to destroy the symmetry of Grier's physiogonomy by scratching it betore drier slapped him. Eaih was held -y the court to he guilty of an r-ffray and each was required to pay $2 ani'. costs. Simps Linder was charged with leav ing his hack unattended, using profan ity and resisting an officer. Officer Shields found Linder's hack in the street unattended and when he told Under to take it home or he would arrest him, the latter became enraged nnd defied the officer. The officer then r.rrested Linder and finally had to sum mon assistance. It seems that Linder was willing to go in his hack, but de clined to ride to the station house in the patrol wagon. The defendant ad mitted that he was drunk. The Recor der fined him ?2 and costs for the dis orderly conduct, ?5 and costs for re sisting an officer and the costs for leaving his hack unattended. The following cases were. called and the defendants failed to appear, for feiting their bonds: Ed Lay, using pro fanity; Tom Vaughan, drunkenness; William Johnson, drunk and disor derly; George Oifford. drunk and d!s crderly; W. H. Thornton, drunkenness. iBiiviH KaniiiiKKiBXiaiiniiiixaiiiiiiniKii M ! b nninnsn unrro m KDII K 0 N l I PA a H unibiiunu iiw bw j H K H H eaiBXiVHIISlilllllliSIISiBIIIIXIXElIifllXiailifilZ m The reports sent out that the bridge over Fishing Creek where the accident of Thursday occurred, was 45 feet high, was a mistake. It is only 29 feet from the rail to the water. The creek is a small stream, the water not being over five to six inches deep. The block on the Western North Carolina road at Majolica, caused by the head-on collision Thursday night. was cleared yesterday by the noon hour. The engine of No. 35 was badly torn up. The freight engine was de railed but only slightly damaged. Fifty to 75 negro laborers passed through Charlotte last night en route to Orange and Alexandria, Ya.. where cr0 f0 pngaee in the work of double tracking the Southern railway. lorcc now employed at these two points numbers from 1,000 to 1,500. The union station talk will again be revived at the meeting of the board of aldermen to be held Tuesday night. The reported sale of the Seaboard Air Line road to the Rock Island, for a time, at least, threw cold water on this project which is so near to Charlotte people's heart. Now since it is general ly understood that the two roads are to be operated separately, the needs of a union station will again loom up in all of its dire necessity. Charlotte wants i.- union srtation and we must have one. Mr. R. M. Coffey, city passenger agent of the Seaboard who has been confined to his icom with typhoid fever for the past four or five weeks, is getting better daily. Mr. Coffey's many fiiends will be glad to ee him at his pest again. $ There is considerable talk among ralhcad men as to the exact number of new trains the Southern will put cn during the fall and winter season, it is understood that Nos. S3 and 34 will be again placed in service about the loth of Ouobcr. The fast Florida trains wll not go on until al;o;.t the Christ inas holidays. Cther extra tvains have been spoken of. One of these is a local train between Columbia and Charlotte to leave Charlotte about 5:20 o'clock in the alter non. The Southern railway hes put a large force of men and mules at work on its extension from Maryville, Tenn., through the Rabun dap loutc intj South Caiolina. The work is very heavy in some sections, but it will Le speedily accomplished as ail the mod ern railroad building devices will be employed to get the road through in a hurry. The Pullman company announces that its 4.000 sleeping cars iire inade quate now to meet the demand of the traveling public and that at least 2.000 more could he used at this time. The company may appeal to the railroad companies for cooperation in the fu ture in serving the public by asking them to scedule their big excursions East and West on different dates. 6 At Presbyterian College.

As a gttral thing fewpeo .a make more use of both lungs than is ivalent to a healthy use of one lung. 0 hese facts are all in the favor of the m.n or woman with weak lungs, even ""en disease has a strong grip on them. Many a person living in health to - day has the lungs marked by the healed, scars of disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes weak lungs strong. It cures obstinate, deep- seated coughs, bronchitis, bleed ing lungs and other conditions, which, if neglect ed or unskilfully treated, find a fatal termination in consumption.

St. Peter's Open on To- T t ! . Tt IT r rancis iueyer, u. t. Young girls at this period of life, or their mothers, are earnestly in vited to write Mrs, Pinkham for advice; all such letters are strictly confidential ; she has guided in a motherly way hundreds of young women ; and her advice is freely and cheerfully given. School days are danger days for American girls. Often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to recover the lost vitality. Sometimes it is never recovered. Perhaps they are not over-careful about keeping their feet dry; through carelessness in this respect the monthly sickness is usually rendered very severe. Then begin ailments -which should bo removed at once, or they will produce constant suffering. Headache, faintness, slight vertigo, pains in the back and loins, irregularity, loss of sleep and appetite, a tendency to avoid the society of others, are symptoms all indicating that woman's arch-enemy is at hand. L.ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has helped many a young girl over this critical period. With it thej have gone, through their trials with courage and safety. With its proper use the young girl is safe from the peculiar dangers of school years and prepared for hearty womanhood. A Young Chicago Girl "Studied Too Hard." "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I wish to thank you for the help and ben efit I have received through the use of L,ydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and Liver Pills. When I was about seventeen years old I suddenly seemed to lose my usual good health and vitality, lather said 1 studied too hard, but the doctor thought different and prescribed tonics, which I took by the quart without relief. Eeading one day in the paper of Mrs. Pinkham's great cures, and finding the symptoms described an swered mine, I decided I would give L.yclia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. I did not say a word to the doctor ; I bought it myself, and took it according to directions regularly for two months, and I found that I gradually improved, and that all pains left me, and I was my kold self once more. Lillie E. Sinclair, 17 E. 22d St., Chicago 111." "Miss Pratt Unable to Attend School." "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I feel it my duty to tell all j'oung women how much Liydia E. Pinkham's wonderful Vegetable Compound has done for me. I was completely run down, unable to attend school, and did not care for any kind of society, but now I feel like a new person, and have gained seven pounds of flesh in three months. " I recommend it to all young women who suffer from female weak ness." Miss Alma Pratt, Holly, Mich. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the one sure rem edy to be relied upon at this important period in a young girl's life.

"WE'LL TRY IT" That's What the Grocer Said. The melancholy days will come When melons are no more, When all these luscious cantaloupes Are memories of yore. E, G. A grocer had heard his customers raising a certain food and one day he said, "We'll try it." "Two years ago,'' said the grocer's wife, "my litttle daughter was very low with typhoid fever and we had four different physicians attending her. The last doctor we called said her stomach was as raw as. a piece of beef and that all depended on her diet. We failed to find food that she could digest and we were so discour aged. We thought she could not live. "My husband has a grocery store and said, 'I have a food very highly recommended called Grape-Nuts. We'll ivy that' So he brought some Grape Nuts home and I fed the child a tea spoonful 3 times a day in cream and is she began to improve almost im mediately I increased the amount to two teaspoonfuls. In six weeks she looked like another girl, bright-eyed, rosy cheeked and healthy. "She was a mere skeleton when we commenced to use Grape-Nuts food, but it was not long before so many said 'My! how fine she looks to have been so sick. What causes it?' and I tell them all Grape-Nuts surely saved her life. She is now perfectly well and strong and still enjoys Grape-Nuts and said to me today, "O Mamma, write and tell them what Grape-Nuts did for me.' " Name ?iven by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
