PLEDGE SIMS TO
CATIWBA ran
Statesville, Oct. 3.~ At a meet
ing held in the Commercial Club
rooms in the interest of the
creamery project, which is occu
pying the attention of Iredell far
mers just now, it was decided to
immediately place men in the
field to work up and establish
cream routes leading into States
ville for the purpose of beginning
shipments of cream to the Cat
awba Co operative Creamery at
Hickory. Those who will be sent
out to establish the routes and
get the cream wagons in opera
tion have not yet been named,
but it is the purpose ~to a&sign
one man to a certain route and
let him make all arrangements
for it.
Once the cream wagons are
started, there is little doubt that
many more cows in addition to
those already secured will be
pledged. Whenever the ship
ments to the Catawba creamery
are found to be sufficient to sup
port another creamery, a local
plant will be established. Al
ready nearly 500 cows have been
signed up.
The Family Cough Medicine.
In every home there should be a
bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery,
ready for inteimediate use when any
member of the familv contracts a cold
or a cough. Prompt use will stop the
spread of sickness. S. A. Stid, of
Mason, Mich., writes: "My whole fam
ily depends upon Dr. King's New Dis
covery as the best cough and cold
medicine in the world. 'i wo 50c. bot
ties cured me of pneumonia.'' Thou
sands of other families have been
equally benefited and depend entirely
upon Dr. King's New Discovery to
cure their coughs, colds, thioat and
lung troubles. Every dose helps.

Ties Herself to a Man.
The motion-picture theater
was well filled the other after
noon when a stout woman enter
ed and wedged herself in next to
a slender man. For a time both
appeared extremely interested in
the pictures. Then the woman
noticed that one of her shoe
laces was undone. After some
thing of a struggle she bent over
and finally succeeded in bringing
both the laces together. A few
minutes later the man arose as
though to start for the door.
Down he went in the aisle and
the woman gave vent to an ex
clamation. The audience turned
from the flickering to the real
catastrophe. She had knotted
her shoe-lace with his. It was
several minutes before the pair
untangled and untied. —Florala

Retired Georgia Planter's
Advice to Kidney Suffers
Regarding the wonderful curative
merits of your Swamp-Root, I cannot
say too much. After suffering severe
ly for three years or more with severe
pains caused by weak kidneys, I was
finally induced to try Swamp-Root
through a testimonial 1 read in one
of the newspapers. I was in such a
condition that 1 was obliged to arise
from my bed six or eiglit times ever 3
night. I purchased a Jifty-cent bottle
and before it was used I t'elt so much
relief that I purchased a one-dollar
bottle and by the time this was taken
the old pains had left my back and 1
could sleep the whole night through.
I am a retired planter, 70 years of age,
and owing to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, lam in the best of health and
feel like a boy. lam always glad to
recommend Swamp-Root to those who
are in need of it.

Had Killed Fourteen People.
Chicago.* Get. 5. Mrs. Mildred
Allison-Perroat, dancing teacher, who
was shot to death at Wheaton, Ills., a
week ago, was the victim of a modern
bluebeard. who, according to his own ,
confession, had killed 13 others in . s
many years. Henry Spencer, arrest- j
ed in a room near the southsiue levee j
district, tonight confessed that he rni i
only killed Mrs, Rexroat, but that «
had slain 14 persons.
He was identified positively as tl e
mysterious Mr. Spencer with whom
Mrs. Rexroat left Chicago on the night
she was killed.
Mrs Rexroat"s blood stained rattan
suitcase was feu id in his room, as
was the revolver with whicn he said He
had killed her.
The police, while in doubt as to tiie
full truth of Spencer's story, are confi
dent they have found a wholesale mnr
derer and that he will be proven to have
killed at least several of those whose
deaths he described in a long confession
tonight.
Spencer's confession was so startling
that it probably would have received
no credence had not the. bloody suit
case and the revolver confirmed at
least part of his statement. All his
murders except two, he declared, had
been for the purpose of robbery.
