Yonnff Man to the Chain Gang. aH fi
On Toesday night Policeman
Goldston arrested a young man for
beating his way on the train. On
trial he gave bis name as Charles
Savin, of Charlotte. He was un
able to pay the fine and the costs

work for the payment of them.
A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but
there is really no trick about it.
Anybody can try it who has Lame
Back and Weak Kidneys, Malaria
or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right ayvay by
taking Electric Bitters. This med
icine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to Liver and
Kidneys, is a blood purifier and
nerve tonic. It cures constipation,
headache, fainting spells, sleepless
ness and melancholy. It is purely
vegetable, a mild laxative, and re
stores the system to its natural
vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be
convinced that they are a miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed.
