The History of a Fake.
Aim, for tricks that are vain 1
The petrified man who was on
eanhed in Henderson county a few
weoke ago by Squire Sitton is the
Bame petrified man who was ix
hibited in this city iu 1895.
The petrified man who was
brought here in '95 caused a great
sensation and mde a lot of money
for his owners. The story was that
he bad been dug op near Columbia,
S. C, and bo passed as a genuine
article nntil some prying scientists
discovered that he was made of
!laster of patis or something of that
;ind. This petrified man was
langhed out of history.
For many days North Carolina
has been busy discussing Squire
Sitton's petrified man, and if the
curiosity or phenomenon was a fake
no one has been able to prove that
fact
But a photograph that has been
found in the Van Ness' stadio in
this city proves beyond peradven
tore that the two petrified gentle
men are one and the same man.
I Nan Ness exhibits a photo of the
man who was unearthed at Colum
bia, and it is a perfect likeness of
Squire Sitton's man. The rtsetn
blance in the smallest details is
exact, and every one who looks at
the two pictures that are now in
The Observer office is forced to come
to one conclusion.
Where the Columbia petrified
man has been all thie time, how he
happened to be buried on a crtxk
bank in Henderson county that
is another story. Char. Observer.

He Cures Without Money.
On January LTith an article ap
peared in Tlio Constitution giv
iritf particulars concerning' tho
remarkable psychic force- which
U. U. Harrison, the well known
inunuger of tlio Southern Press
Clipping Hureau, laid developed.
It was also stated that Tlio Con
stitution would rjivo tho results
of some of Mr. Harrison s expo
ritnents. This publication ro
suited in a deluge of letters and
personal visits by people various
ly afflicted, who beirgod to bo
healed. It was a matter of im
possibility to treat all tlio appli
cants, or even to answer letters.
Mr. Harrison nirreed to treat
fen patients and publish the re
sults. Ho lias cured between
twenty fivo and thirty people
and has letters from them show
ering thanks and invoking (Jod'a
blessings for tlio relief ho lias
brought to them. He slates that
ho has only exercised his healing
jiowers for an hour each night,
us Iio does not allow it to Inter
fere with his regular newspaper
work during tlio day. Iho fol
lowing summary of cases treated
and cured makes an interesting
exhibit. Heing a business man,
who only exerts his healing imiw
era for tho benefit of suffering
humanity, tho certificates aro not
convertible into coin, but are
treasured as pleasant memories
of good deeds.
The cases cured wcro as fol
lows :
Man of 50 Had rheumatism
so that he could not leave his
room. Cured in seven dnys
(without being seen by Mr. Har
rison) so that ho could return to
his regular work. .

which caused hiccoughs after

case of rheumatism cured by
what is called absent treatment

says: "I am happy to tell you I

since the fourth day I began your
treatment. I shall ever feel
grateful for the relief you have
given me."
Young business man cured of
severe headache in two minutes.
No return in two months.
Negro washerwoman cured of

a 6-year-old child who made the

rheumatism so badly that he
dragged ono foot behind him in
going up stops. Thoroughly
cured in ono week. No return
of trouble after three months.
Lady of 70 had rheumatism so
badly that she could scarcely
walk. Another case of absent
treatment; patient was IK) miles
from Atlanta. In her letter she
says: "At first I felt so sudden a
change that it made me almost
forget that I had been an intense
sufferer for such a length of
time." After five days' treat
ment she walked a mile to a
neighbor's home.
Porter of state capitol had a
case of rheumatism which had
made him a cripple for years and
walked with a stick. Threw
away his stick in three days and
cured in two woeks.
A Confederate veteran whose
foot was so drawn and cramped
with rheumatism that he could
not put it flat to the floor. Cured
in seven days so that he could
walk without use of cane.
In addition to this list, num
berless cases of headaches, back
aches, hiccoughs and minor
troubles have vanished under Mr.
Harrison's magic touch.
A remarkable feature of Mr.
Harrison's use of his powers is
that he has never accepted mon
ey for a treatment and believes
the treatment would not be suc
cessful if he accepted payment.
The cases he has cured was done
for the purpose of following up
an interesting experiment and
he is using his powers only when
be can benefit some sufferer who
has failed to find relief elsewhere.

A Younf Tar Heel Scientist.
A young southerner, who his won
great distinction in the icionifio
world, though bo is now only 24
years old, is Dr. Harold Pender,
brother of Mr. D. Pender, of this
city, and of II. D. Pender, an officer
in the United States navy, stationed
at tho Norfolk navy yard.
Dr. Pender is a rmt vont Tsrbro,
N. O, inn of thn lute li II. iVid.-r.
He lived in Tarb ro u .til t' edt:tb
of his father, when he wi tit to lUI'i
more to live with sn nlder half
brother, Mr George L IVridtr.
Hero he entered the MeDonongh
school, established twelve miles out
of Piltimore for the education of
Iialtiinore orphan boys, where he
spent six years, luading his class and
winning a scholarship in Johns
Hopkins, lie fore reaching his 11 1
year ho won bis Ph.D., being the
yonngent Ph.D. over graduated by
Johns Hopkins.
Tho following Is from tho Syra
cuse. (N, Y ) Standard :
"Dr. Harold Pender, tho former
instructor in tho department of
physici In Syracuse university, re
turned from Parii yesterday morn
itiir. where he luccussfullr nerform
ed iiis now celebrated experiment
of showing tho relaion between
static and voltaiu electricity. M.
Crcuiiei), a French physical of noto,
had disagreed with Prof. Pendur
and the latter waa invited by the
rrench scientists to j urnoy to Pans
and perform his experiment. The
demonstration was a complete suc
cess and Prof. Pender conclusively
proved tho correctness of his former
work.
''Before Dr. Pender left for bis
native land, the two exnerimeuters
trave a coninlete detailed renort of
tho work before the Physical Society
of franco, composed of the leading
scientists of the country. They
illtiHtratid their report by a number
of experiments, anions? them buine
one showing directlv the Dreecnce
of a magnetic field around a rapidly
rotating, statically charged due
This ex pet i me nt had never beture
been performed in t ublic and its
success tok a a a v the Frenchman'

"Tho monev to carry out the
experiments was furnished by the
University of Paris and the Institute
of France, while the Carnegie Insti
tute at Washington paid the per
sonal expenses of Dr. Pender.
Tho nrufussor has resigned from
the faculty of the Syracuse Uni
versity and has accepted a position
with the Westinshouso Electric
Company of Pittsburg."
The purpose of Dr. Pender in
entering tho employ of the Westing
nouso Company is to learn the prac
tical side of clectricitv. and to that
end he enters as an apprentice and
will spend two years working his
way up. Norfolk Virginia-Pilot.
Danbury-Sallsbury Railroad.
Danbury is basking in the fine
Srospects of a railroad at an early
ay.
The last legislature passed an
act incorporating the Salisbury
Kauway Company with a capital
ization of $l'5,000 and privilege
to increase to two and a hall mil
lions. This company is compos
ed of a number of wealthy Salis
bury citizens who desire to reach
the abundaut iron ores, timber,
water power, produce, summer
resorts, mineral springs and other
fine resources of this region.
The route of the road will be
from Danbury via Germanton,
Winston and Salisbury to some
point on the Carolina Central in
Union county, probably Monroe,
making a line something over a
hundred miles in length.
The promoters of tho road,
among whom are doubtless mon
eyed men of the Twin-City are,
it is thought, aroused by the ef
forts of Danville and Greensboro
business men to control tho trade
of Stokes, Surry and lower Pat
rick (Va.) It is well known that
a railroad through this section
from a point on the N, & W. in
tlio eastern part 0i the county
has been in embryo for some
time, and that a number of the
wealthiest citizens of Danville,
Greensboro, Keidsville, Leaks-
ville and Madison are at the
back of it.
More than one city within a
hundred miles of this rich and
untapped region, whose trade
has built up Winston, is laying
plans to divert it from the old
chnnels into their marts. Dan

The Value of Expert Treatment.
Everyone who is afflicted with a
chronic disease experiences great
difficulty in having their case in
telhgently treated by the average
physician. These diseases can only
be cured by a specialist who under
stands them thoroughly. Dr. J.
Newton Hathaway of Atlanta, Ga..
is acknowledged the most skillful
and successful specialist in the Uoi
ted States, Write him for his ex-
Ecrt opinion of our case, for which

If tho roll wero called, and enly
