Danville, Va., Dec. 31.—A wreck in which two persons were killed and two injured, occurred on the Southern Railway about 20 miles north of this place yesterday afternoon. The two men killed were Grover Franklin and Archie Wyatt, both Danville men. and the injured are Phil White, of Dan ville and Stannerry Mayes, of Brutus, Va. The wrecked train was a through freight from Monroe. Va.. to Spencer. While running at the rate of about 20 miles an hour several of the cars in the middle of the train jumped the track, causing a bad smashup. Eight cars were derailed and wrecked. The accident is said to be due to a broken flange. The wrecking crews were sent out from Danville and Mon roe and the track was cleared of the wreckage about midnight. The men killed and the injured are supposed to have been beating their way on the train. The two dead, who were both boys, left Danville several days ago, it is supposed on a hobo trip. They are sons of well to do business men of this city. AFRAID TO ACCEPT JOB. Georgia Negro Who is Eligible for Position in Postoffice is Warned by Whites r.ot to Accept. Washington. D. CC., December 2S. — The civil service commission has been in communication with Wilber T. George, a negro, who is the only eligi ble, for clerkship in the postoffice at Hattiesburg, Miss., and who has been advised by certain white persons in that place to remain away from the postoffice, otherwise, he would be mob bed. George recently advised the civ il service commission that the post master at Hattiesburg had tendered him the position and he had accepted, but had failed to put in an appearance for duty on account of the mob that was threatening him. "I contend for the position or some thing equally as good in the civil ser vice as per my examination," says George, in his letter to the commis sioners. "It is not even safe for me to stay her any longer than to-night; so you can address me for the next few days at Gainesvill. Miss." "As I have not heard from you I feel at liberty to take this action." Under date of December 26, Com missioner Greene, replying to the let ter of George, stated that it was with in his discretion to accept or decline the appointment if tendered by the postmaster. "It is not the practice of the com mission," continued Mr. Greene, "to transfer the names of eligibles from one postoffice to another unless the needs of the service actually require such action." While the commission refuses to outline it's probable action, it is thought that should George insist on performing the service of clerk in the Hattiesburg postoffice he will be transferred to some other place where the race question does not figure as new in Mississippi. iiomisfoj Soil Impoverished soil, like impov erished blood, needs a proper fertilizer. A chemist by analyz ing the soil can tell you what fertilizer to use for different products. If your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you what you need to fertilize it and give it the rich, red corpuscles that are lacking in it. It may be you need a tonic, but more likely you need a concentrated fat food, and fat is the element lacking in your system. There is no fat food that is so easily digested and assimi lated as Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil It will nourish and strengthen the body when milk and cream fail to do it. Scott's Emulsion is always the same; always palatable and always beneficial where the body is wasting from any cause, either in children or adults. We will send you a sample free.

Mass., Dec. 28. —The police of West End district were confronted with a mystery in finding the body of a young woman about 24 years of age, upon the grounds of the Massachusetts General Hospital. After a brief investigation the po lice declared the case to be one of mur der, though it did not appear just how the young woman had met death. Tracing the marks on the ground over which the body of the girl had been dragged, the detectives found they led to the lodging house managed by Mrs. Susr.n Brown. Later Mrs. Brown and three other women occupants of the house were taken into custody on suspicion, pend ing further investigation. Conflicting Theories. Early investigations developed con victing theories. On the tree near which the body was found were dis covered strands of hair and the po lice thought that the woman might have fallen or been thrown from a window of the Brown lodging house. A somewhat hurried inspection of the body disclosed no marks of violence. The cause of death could be revealed cr°.y by an autopsy, it is believed. After an exhaustive examination of the Brown lodging house the police were satisfied that none of the women found there and taken to the station knew anything of the affair. REMEMBERED NEGRO NURSE.

Former Vice-President of New York ' Life and Charles Fairchild Today In dicted, Charged With Forgery. New York, Dec. 28.—George W. Per kins, former vice-president of the New :- J York Life, and now member of the 3 firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., and Charles -Is. Fairchild, formerly Secretary of the !. Treasury and trustee of the New York Life, were indicted by the grand jury, charged with forgery in the third de \ gree. ' The indictments were based on what 3 is known as the Prussian bond transac tions, in which it is charged that a false statement was made by the New 3 York Life in order to satisfy the Gov ' ernment of Prussia as to the securi t ties by the company. One of the transactions investigated by the grand jury in this connection " was what was alleged to be the dum f my sale of 10,000 shares of Chicago and i Northwestern and 5,300 shares of St. , Paul stock to the New York Security r and Trust Company, r So far as appeared on books of New York Life this action was a complete ; sale of securities. The New York Se ] eurity and Trust Company, however, , recorded it as a loan. Later these \ shares were sold by the New York . Security and Trust company with a profit of the life insurance company of $155,000. This alleged false statement of the sale had for its object the com pliance with the rules of the Prussian government that a life insurance com pany doin business in that country shall not include corporation stocks in it's assets but may include bonds in such assets. Warefare on Bailey. Austin, Texas, Dec. 29. —With the 1 near approach of the assembling of the ■ Texas legislature the contest for and ■ against the re-election of Senator Bai r ley has reached the red-hot stage. • Though Bailey declares that his re ! election is assured it is not difficult for % the unbiased onlooker to see that the V opposition is of a most formidable character and that if it continues to - gather strength it . will be a to3s-up - whether the Senator may go down in I defeat as a result of the exposure of . his relations with the Standard Oil financiers. In several parts of the state mass meetings and popular votes are to be today to determine whether the people desire their rep resentatives in the legislature to vote for Bailey for re-election. The result t of these meetings if awaited with con - siuerable interest as the popular opin j ion thus expressed will probably have J considerable effect on the contest. TRAINED NURSE , Writes eLtter to The People.

I had no appetite, could ' not sieep,, my kidneys, liver and bow els became inactive, and as I grew weaker I could not retain either medi cine or food on my stomach, and rais r cd blood. The doctors said my condi tion was critical and I would probab [ ly die. [ "As I had seen Vinol prescribed for r my patients with such remarkable re i- suits, I decided to try it myself. After the first bottle I began to improve. • I continued its use, and soon began to ; j sleep and eat well; every organ in my - body was strengthened and became normal, until it seemed good to be alive and I was restored to perfect - health and strength. "I believe Vinol is the most potent ■ and delicious cod liver oil preparation • and tonic rebuilder in the world, and it ; is such a blessing to be able to i take into the system all the body . buildiug and medicinal of ! cod live oil without the nauseating. . greasy oil itself. [ "I advise all my patients who need strength, rich, red blood, and flesh tis I sue to take Vinol., as it is so far su s perior to old fashioned cod liver oil, t emulsions, or other tonics."

RHEUMATISM i CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles, ' nerves joints and bones are throbbing and twitching with the pains of Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo rarily but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more i than ckin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be ! reached by constitutional treatment —IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY. : Rheumatism is due to an excess cf uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry oil. This refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the bodv and Rheumatism gct.3 possession of the system. The aches and pains are "only symptoms, a~u though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nernus system ' is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit igPlgl ing acrid and corrosive matter in the raus cles, nerves, joints and bones, the body is fed N®®! and nourished by rich, health-sustaining 9 Sfegyr blood which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed niinci V VFGFTARLE of both purifying and tonic properties— rune.l.l »tat i** j US £ w j ia t is needed in every case of Rheu matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but is \ m ade entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S. S. S. and write ns about your case and our physicians will give you any information or advice desired free of charge and will send our special treatise on Rheumatism, THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO*, ATLANTA, GA* - \ ; SPANKED BOY. TORPEDOES SHOT^ 1 i ; I Wadesboro, December 29. —Mr. Har- j i ry Mark, of Lillsville township, died I recently after a week of sickness from j > pneumonia. Mr. Marks was about 40 j year old. He was industrious and kind | > hearted and a good neighbor; he will | be missed in the community in which he lived. Uncle Jack King, a veteran of the ' war between the states died yester ! day at his home in Lilesville township. Mr. King was over 80 years old, and , only last year made hi 3 living by farm ing. Industrious'and honest were his characteristics. He has answered the summons of the Great Commander. The coacaine habit is about as prev alent among the negroes as the whis key habit and far dangerous, as ir makes them more bloodthirsty. How they secure it is a mystery that we cannot solve. But the fact that the drug is used in large quantities is cer tain. A negro, Frank Flowers, tanked up on the drug last week and now lies at death's door. The result of a mur- \ derous attack on one. Oscar Flowers, j another negro, of Monroe township, j with a large open knife, by Frank I Flowers, caused the trouble. Oscar j struck Frank with a double barreled i shotgun. The blow rendered the des , perate negro unconscious for several j hours. There is no blame attached to Oscar as he struck only in defending : himself. An item sent you this week states i that Professor W. D. Redfearn left j leg was broken by a fall. This is a : mistake as it was the professor's wife i that was hurt by coming in contact with her pet Newfoundland dog that j playfully ran against the lady. Mr. Thcmas Gatewood. a merchant i of Wadesboro was the victim of a fun ny accident this week. One of the j small boys of the town was helping 1 himself to seme nuts and candies in in the merchant's store. Mr. G. Spoke to him several times, but the lad paid no attention to Mr. G. and his remon starneces. Patience seased to be a virtue. Mr. G. threw the lad across his knee and proceeded to give him a 1 spanking. The first blow produced ah explosion, the result of which badly scorched Mr. Gateweod's hand and car- : ried awa3 r the seat of the lad's pants.' The lad had a lot of torpedoes in his i hip pocket, which exploded in the spanking process. Anson county did herself proud this j Xmas. I don't think there has been an arrest during the holidays. The i coons have behaved themselves most excellently at the "festivibals." We i hope this behaviour may continue : through next rear. Cotton is bringing 10:30 on our mar-1 ket.
