Dread of such treatment kept thousands of modest women silent about their r ''ferinf. The in ti -.luclion of JVv'ine of Cardul his new demon strated that nine-tenths of all the . cases of menstrual disorders do not require a physician's attention at all. The simple, pura M?EIT!Er taken !n the privacy of a woman's own home insures quick relief and speedy cure. Women need not hesitate now. Vine of Cardut re quires no humiliating' examina tions for its adoption.

Tbe lumber bad been in tbe kiln four or five days, and this n.onnng they had intended taking it o,i t, hue then decided that tbey wo lid let it remain a while longer li j some means the Ore became too hot, aud at the above mentioned hour Ihey found it h fhnies. The kiln is tolerably close to the m;iiu building, wbere tbey have 1'iite a lot of machinery, but fortu nately it did not catcb fire. The lumb r made au intensely hot fire, so much so tnit the telephone wire leading to Concord was melted apart. It was soon mended, however, and the news cent to ns.

From tbe Lexington Dispatch by supplement we learn thai Wednes day morntDg about 11 o'clock the wall of tbe well in tbe rear of the Hotel March caved ia, and two men were burled in tbe debris. Jeff Uolmes, a worthy old colored well-digger, and El. Culberson, another colored man, were at work nuking tbe well deeper, wben tbe walls suddenly, collapsed, burying them under about 12 feet of dirt. An alarm was immediately given and hundreds of peon'e harried to the scene. A number of persons were lowered into tbe well ana could plainly bear the groans and cries of tbe entombed men. Every one that could poesibly aid went to work strengthening tbe walls and trying to remove the dirt from over the men, but in all probability ere this cuu be accomplished ibe men will die, as k is not thought tbey can secufe enough air to keep them alive even if they were not fatally hurt by tbe cave in. We learn today (Thursday) that the bodies were taken out last night about 11:30 o clock. Both were dead, but Culberson's body was still warm. Their bodies were found standing together by tbe pump in thecenireof the well. The gioans of one of the men ere heard by the rescuers till about two hours before they reached the bodies.

When with in about three miles of CiihiIoi e he broke down and waited for som "uue , to" come along. Two young men, Messrs Walsh and Mitchell came along on their wheels, when Perkins made them hear him. He told tbeui he bad smallpox. They carried tbe news to Charlotte when Chiel Orr and Drs. Strong and Hawley procceled at once with wagon, bed ding and driver to tbe place. Per kins was able to crawl into the I wagon and be was conveyed to the pest bouse. No oue touched him. Haying left Mnoresville before the stage of sup puration and having slept in tbe woods at night there may be no spreading of tbe disease, but there would be a decidedly more comfort' able feeling if be bad not come to tbe State. Mr. Thonlpnen Talking lo the Vlrla. Mr. Holland Thompson responded last (Thursday) night to a call to address the school at Sunderland Hall, His dissertation was in tbe the form of a blackboard lecture on North Carolina, it's topography, its zoology, its ornithology, its ichthy ology, etc. Tbe speaker had a broad sutject and gave loose rein to flow ing thought as be carried his audi ence from the low, sandy loamy eaat along over the piedmont sections till be placed them ia imagination on tbe pinaclrs of tbe grand mountain heights that render the grand old State tbe pride and charm of tbe bold and chivalrous. It was donbtless a rare treat to the girls and they'll be after bis coming again. Newbern Urn a NeuNalion. Newberne had a social penpation Tuesday night, in which James Dufty and Thomas Hill bad a pixtol duel of tbree shots each. Strangely enough, according to the Raleigh correspondent ot the Charlotte Ob server, Hill was bit, i-j the ankle each time. The difference between him and Achilles is that the latter could be wounded in tbe heel only. Later intelligence snys that the tbree shots took effect in Hill's right leg below the knee, and so shat tered the bones that amputation will be necepeary. Hill bas been taken to bis home in Goldsboro. The whole of the facts in the case would not look well in print, and there' is probably shame enough connected with it. Evidently, though, that big bud did not shoot to kill. Concord Loire An Excellent Family Our town today (Thursday) loses one of its best families. The one we mean is that of Rev.

The Muallpox The Knoxville Journal pays: Em inently eatisfictory is the statement that no new cases of smallpox have developed in Knoxville in the past two days. While many persons have been exposed to the dieea-e, the physicians, by maintaining a strict quarantine, are hopeful of stamping out the c'isease in its in fancy. IT IS SMALLPOX. The Expert Na.i no and M akcN a Re port. It is no longi r a matter of doubt that the physici ana were correct in their diagnosis cf smallpox in Char lotte. Dr. C P Wertenbaker, passed assistant surgeon of tne United Sta'ea Marine Hospital, is in Char iots and on Friday yisitel the pest house. The Observer's account of the visit to tbo pert house after the thorough equipment is so interesting that we quote it at Jollowe: "Wheu in 150 y.mls of the house, the carriage stopped, the party got out and began uisrol'ing. Each of the doctors took eff hi'.i outer cloth ing and put on overa-'ls of ducka, capa of Bume and gloves. Tbey then walked up tht hill about 5J5 yarda and within ten Tarda of the guard line, when tbey stopped and made respirators and tied them over mouth and nose, leaving only room to see well.

He then exam ined Oscar Jackson in t be same wv, and lust Harvey l'erktr.p. who was taken to tbe pest house Thurs(.'ay afternoon. Io each instance l.e put his fir gers on the sores, thi-reby determin-i ing better their form ittou and char acter. Tbe three physiciaa-t rsmained at the pest house two hours. On leav ing tbe house they threw the res pirators away and hatl them burned. They then hung the!) clothing u oil the bushes until the xext time tney get ready to visit the camp. They walked in this disrobf d condition lo the place where they had left tLeir regular clothes, resumed thrm and returned to town. After reaching the hotel, Dr. Wertenbaker bathed and changed bis clothe again. Drs. Wilder and Strong repaired to their r 8t!iive h imps and did the same," Tne cit council was called to eetler Friday night to heir Ir. Wettenhaker's rep r ,thich is as tullowt: " I a'lotte, N.
