All druggists Three Persons Perished in ; Fire That Destroyed Hotel At Cleveland Springs Shelby, N. C., Sept. 9. —During a se vere electric storm, about 12 o'clock last night, the pretty three-story hotel J at Cleveland Springs, two miles from ! here, was struck by lightning and in j an hour and a half the building was re- ( duced to ashes. Three persons, caught and held cap-' tive by the mad flames, were burned to! death. They were: Miss Smith, of Ellenboro, N. C., and two negroes, whose names have not • been ascertained. Miss Smith occupied a room on the ' third floor. Her piteous screams for help were i heard by the many onlookers who had j gathered, but it was impossible to ren- j der her any assistance. The negroes employed by the hotel i slept in the attic of the building. j One negro woman, when she realiz-j ed there was no possible means of es-; cape down through the building, man- j aged to get out on the roof. She climb- 1 ed to an electric wire and swung from j this to a post and slid down to safe-! ty. Although it seems there was abund ance of time from the first outbreak of. the fire to have saved all the belong ings of the guests, only about five, trunks were caried out. Only about 15 guests were register ed at the hotel Sunday night. The loss to the hotel is estimated at about $25,000, with SIO,OOO insur-i ance. The fire started in the kitchen and spread rapidly, the fire fighting facili ties being inadequate to check the flames to any appreciable degree. Cleveland Springs Hotel—the old i brick part—was built in ISGS by Mr. John J. Blackwood, father of Mrs. Robert M. Oates, Sr., and Mrs. E. B. Dickson, and Dr. Moses Taylor, a brother-in-law of Dr. Blackwood. The building was three stories high and' stood on the top of the high hill at 1 the foot of which is the white sul-, phur spring which has made Cleve-j land Springs famous throughout the! land. Mr. Blackwood and Dr. Tay- ! lor bought the property from Mr. • Thos. Wilson, a big land-owner of | Cleveland county, the place being! known at that time as Wilson's Springs. The name was changed when the new brick hotel was built.: The place reverted, in some way to the Wilson heirs and was sub-let, by them, to various parties after thej Blackwoods and Taylors left. Judge' and Mrs. Theodore Brevard, parents' of the late Dr. Robert J. Brevard, | leased the place after the Blackwoods. 1 They kept the place open as a hotel in summer and as a private board ing school for girls in the winter. Cleveland Springs was in the zenith of its fame, socially, during the Bre vards time. Following the Brevards as lessees came Mr. Mac Poston, Mr. J. B. Wilkinson (who built the frame addition to the hotel) Mr. Wm. 1 Miller, of Shelby, is the owners, and the present lessee is Mr. McFarland, of Shelby. The old brick hotel was full of associations to many in Charlotte. -For years the "big parlors," the ball room, the long porches, have been filled with Charlotte people, and \ these will view the charred walls of! the old building with sorrow almost akin to pain. The "White House," the home of the Wilsons, still stands. Tobacco Trade Convention.

New York, Sept. 9. —The Erie Rail road Compuany has received an all steel passenger coach, which is on ex hibtion at the Jersey City terminal. The car is practically non-breakable , and will not burn. There was lass than ' 300 pounds of wood or other infiam j mable material used in its construction, and all of that has been treated with a preparation which, it is said, renders it impervious to heat. The car is strongly built, so that it will stand almost any shock that rail road service wil give it. Its weight, which is nearly 50 tons, and much in ' excess of that of the wooden car, is the | only bad point, from an (operating j view, but it is expected that the design ! ers will profit by experiences and pro i duce a steel coach of equal strength, ' but of lighter weight.

C., Sept. 9.—Word was e received in this city from Cincinnati 5 that Mrs. Walter Miller, formerly Miss Mercedes Goldsmith, of Asheville, had e been deserted by her husband, and was y in Cincinnati seeking to locate him. > The marriage of Miss Mercedes :- Goldsmith to Walter Miller in Febru ary last was a romantic affair. The 1 families of both objected to the mar riage on the ground that they were i- too young, Miss Goldsmith being but i. 16 years of ape at that time and still 3 wearing short dresses.

C., Sept. 9—Tomorrow (Tuesday) morning the third district ' appeals will be taken up for argument in the Supreme Court, three important State cases being from New Bern in , volving violations of the prohibition law for that city. Each of the defen dants, Trotter, Eeasdale and Dowdy, is under two years sentence for retailing ' liquor in defiance of the local op [ tlon law. J* In the case for the defense, in set ting out the local bias against the pris oners declares that one minister of New Bern declared amid applause that an any man violating this prohibition [ law should be tarred and feathered, ' tied head down to a stake and bumed. One of the witnesss in the cases, ac cording to the record sent up from the superior court, testified that he had seen more drunks in New Bern in one day cince the prohibition law went into effect than he saw in a month prior to the application of prohibition with thri teen saloons open.

Carelessness Causes Many Fires And Big Damage New York, Sept. 9. —A yearly chart has just been completed covering 6,357 fires in Manhattan and the Bronx and calling attention to some interesting facts.

Ilarri man, who has just completed an ex tensive tour, of the far west, was at his country home at Arden last niglit when two reporters tried to inter view him regarding a revival of the question of *tho size and source of the campaign fund used at the last natloual election by the republicans, which has again been taken up by several newspapers here.

"What are you trying to drive that way for?" asked the man whom both recognized as Mr. Harriman. "Don t you know that the light in that posi tion blinds both the horse and the driver. Let me show you how to fix it. It should be tied to the shaft in this way."

President Roorevelt Will Have a Chance to Show Hie Marksmanship on Bears, Panthers and Deer. Baton Rouge, La., Sept, 8. —The re gion in which the President's proposed bear Luiti will probably take place is near here and is almost primitive in its wilderness. In addition to bears, occasional panthers and deer are still found. The Choctaw swamp, one of the Ijest bear-hunting preserves in the State, is in many respects a semi-tropical jun gle. The obstacles it has presented to civilization and settlement are wit nessed by the abandoned line of the Louisiana Central Railway as well as by animals and dense growths.

Postoffice for the First Time in its History Runs Out of Stamps. Baltimore, Sept. 9. —For the first time in its history, it is said, the Hal tiftiore postoffice yesterday ran out of popular denominations. By seine over sight, doubtless, no provision was made for the extra demand due to the sending of Hebrew New Year cards, of which an immense number were yesterday offered for mailing. The great bulk of these were mailed under one-cent stamps, the supply of which was quite exhausted early in the day. Then the call was for two-cent stamps until these, too, became so scarce that, only the most limited quantities could be purchased. Even the supply of the branch offices and drug stores were re quisitioned by the central postoffice in the effort to supply the demand. Thomas A. Edison, the great American inventor, says "Fully eighty per cent of the illness of mankind comes from eating improper food or too much food; people are inclined to over-in dulge themselves." This is where indi gestion finds its beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and wh»n you overload it, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive or gans cannot possibly do the work de manded of them. It is at such time 3 that the stomach needs help; it de mands help, and warns you by head aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stom ach. Kodol will do this. It is a combi nation of natural digestants and vege table acids a"nd contains the same juices found in a healthy stomach. It is pleasant to take. It digests what you eat. Sold by C. M. Shuford.
