Wonderful Example of Strange Science. Winston Journal. What seems to be a truly won derful example of that strange science known as mental telepa thy was revealed here yesterday morning when a telegram was received by Mrs. J. O. Kiilp. nu ther of little Mamie Fulp. who was drowned in a waste pail l.ust Tuesday afternoon from her hus band, who has been in Kentucky for the past two weeks and had no kuowledge of the tragic death of his child, asking if any thing was not wrong at home if some one in the family was not sick. Mrs. Fulp said last nisrht that her husband Went to Kclltllrk.t where several of his relatives live, two weeks as.'". His health was very bad here and he soutrlil a change of climate. Iiopiug that it might prove l. -iiiriei.il. He cause of his ciiiiilitinn physically the wife did not wire tin- hus bnnd alxtut the child ilea! It. as she feared tiiat a h.iviieil trip back to this state might prove fatal ill his ease. Iiis!ead she wrote him yesterday moruiug and the letter had no more thau left the city when tin1 telegram of inquiry was received from Mr. Fulp. The little child was buried yes terdav in Woodlawu e-inctarv. The funeral services were con ducted from the residence of the parents on Pond street at ;l:o0 o'clock by Kev. W. A. Lambeth, pastor of West Kinl Methodist church. Since her husband has been a way Mrs.. Fulp has been clerk ing in the grocery store owned In Mr. Fulp on Trade street. Yesterday she sold this store to .Mr. Itufus Moscr. In a few weeks she mid her six children hope to join Mr. Fulp in Ken tucky where they will make their home. Winston lournal. CROW BROTHERS CASH STORE. IBEEBfiBZZSI IpHE harness on your horses makes their work easy or hard, and has a great deal to do with their ap pearance, and the amount of feed they require. nore Important still, their work makes a lot of difftrence In the results of your labor. Poor harness means accidents, balky hones, annoyance, repairs and poor horse flesh. It is just as hard to fit a horsi properly as it is a man with a suit of clothes, and in many ways it is more Important. You will find that most teamsters and farmers who realize these facts buy their harness from us. We are headquarters for collars, hames, tugs, traces, chains and all kinds of good buggy and work harness. HEATH HARDWARE CO. WHOLESALE MONROE, W. C.

M Ordinary UghtDlod SirokG. I.ifihtninp Hashes cnunot be meas ured, but approximate estiiraVs can be made. It has been calculated that the electro motive force of a bolt if lightning is about :."U0,(XH) volts, the current 11,000,000 am pere?, and travels at the rate of 2SS,(HK) miles per second. In such a Icilt there is an enerav of 2, 130,000, 000 watts or .'i.l'M Li horse power. When science teaches us above facts we are negligent not to investigate and provide means of protection from such a powerful and destruct ive foive of nature. PROVIDE HIOTF.CTIOX. No man having tho welfare cf bis family at heart and with a full knowledge of the extent of the dan- 'gr and the completeness of the pro jection atlorded by the Lightning Rods, will delay in providing his family and property with such pro tection. DO IT NOW. Do not put off until tomorrow what can be done today. Delays are dangerous. If unprotected, do not, as tue man whose horse was stolen, wait until after the catastrophe to put a pad lock on the barn door. AX ABSOLUTE TEST. Prior to the erection of Lightning Conductors on the Washington Mon ument, it, on several occasions, suf fered damage by lightning, as it was mcsl dangerously exposed, standing 555 feet high, and in the centre cf a tlat and well watered ground. In 1885 a committee of scientific men was appointed to investigate I the subject of protection. They re ! ported, after thorough investigation, : recommending that Lightning Hods i be placed on the shaft. I Since their erection the monument jhas never been damaged, though lightning plays around it in every thunderstorm. LIBERTY DEFIES LIGHTNING. In New York Harbor "Liberty" the noble work of the French Sculp tor, Bartholdi, stands in sublime proportion "enlightening the world." Strange as it may seem, on Inde pendence Day, July 4tb; l'.lOO, Jove hurled upon it bolts of lightning on two different occasions, with no des tructive effect whatever. Those who heard it expected to find the Goddess lying upon the ground or hurled into tho sea, but, upon investigation, absolutely no damage was done. The intelligence of man had again asserted itself, for well may she defy the lightning, as will be found in the following sta tistics: The statue's total height above low water mark is 306 feet; weighs over twenty-five tons, and is pro tected against lightning by a fine system of conductors, extending from a point above tho torch down the figure and foundation into the ground. The cost of the statue was over $.000,000. which was rid for by popular subscription in France. The rodding of Washington llon uir.cEt, the Goddess of Libel ty and government buildings show the confidence that the great men of Araeric have in Lightning Kods. The following are only a few ex tracts from various authorities to show a fair minded man that the best electrical science and scientists stand for the use of a proper light ning rod properly applied Prof. Morriam, of New York, says: "I am in favor of Lightning Uods generally s tLe b st means of pro tection to life and property, and this favorable opinion is tne result of ob servation and study that havo ex Unded over more than half a cen tury of tim, and over a hre extcut of geographical surface." Prof. Jos. Henry. Secretary Smith sonian Institute, Washington, ssvs: 'in a hoi!s properly pi.nided with Lightning Rk1., however n.;ny dis charges may fail on it, we are well acsured from full experience and es tablished principles, no damage can come to the occupants within." Air. Richard Anderson, F. C. S. F. G. S., an acknowledged authori ty says: "H may be laid down as a settled fact, that a well made Light ning Rod, properly placed and kept in an ethcent state can never under any circumstances, fail in its action." Prof. JleAdie.of the United States Weather Bureau, advises the use of Lightning Rods and the War de partment uses rods in all light houses and exposed buildings. At the advice of prominent eleetrieiaus, the White house is also rodded. Prof. Willis L Moore of the U. S. Weather Bureau, in his report for 11)01 says: Without a doubt light ning rods are efficacious in the pro tection of buildings. Buildings, even when struck, if provided with rods suffer little damage compared with those without protectors." Prof. Thomas A. Edison, the noted electrician says: "Light ning Rods will protect buildings provided a good contact is made with the wet earth." VALUABLE DON'TS. Don't decide that there is no virtue in Lightning Conductors, bi cause some one may lie better imformed than yourself says so. Read th un impeachable testimony of Philoso phers or any other scientific work. Don't think you can cfl'ord to "run your chances" when life and proper ty are at stake. Money can not bring back the lives of those you are bound to protect: and to lose your building means loss of time and money. A good Lightning Hod is the best insurance known. Don't believe that because your building has never been struck in all these years it will never be. "It is a long road that has no turn," end because you have lived this long without dying, is no reason you nev er will. Don't forget that electricity trav els better over metals than any oth er substance, as everybody knows. That is why the United States Wea ther bureau recommends Lightning Conductors on all buildings. Don't forget that losses by light ning do not occur on buildings that are protected by rods. Remember that anyone who has gone through the trying ordeal of seeing a whole season's crop demol ished by a singlo stroke or has be held his house in ruins or looked upon the disfigured corpse of those whom lis loves, can never begrudge the small amount necessary to give protection by means of a properly applied rod. ' Who says good Lightning Rods are a suro protection? Answer: Lvery thinker, every philosopher, every encyclopedia, ev ery scientific nun, every college, university, every civilized govern ment Who says rods are no protection? Answer: The ifnorant, the su perstitious, the KaSrs of Central Africa, thoiw who refuse to investi gate md rate philosophy as fiction and science as beresr.
