Sleep is one of the things that can
not be put off from night to night.
The punishment for sleeplessness is
worse than pain. It means a shattered
mind.
It often happens that a sudden stress
of work or anxiety robs one of the
night's rest. The effect is soon appar
ent in the lanquor, headaches and
listlessness that ensue.
If rapid and abundant means are
employed to repair the exhausted parts
the nerves regain their elasticity. But
if an unnatural privation of sleep is
carried beyond the stretching power
of the brain the whole nervous system
becomes undone, and prostration re
sults. Thousands of men struggling under
great responsibilities or tedious work,
anxious, overworked mothers and
wives, shop girls who are forced to
stand on their feet all day long, hare
Mr. Max Burgheim.
little difficulty in convincing their
friends of the remarkable power of
Paine's celery compound to restore
their energy, renew their vigor and
make them strong and well.
Here is a letter from Mr. Max Burg
heim the well know president and
manager of the Cincinnati Freie Pr.isse
Company. Mr. Burgheim writes:
"The following statement may be of
interest. I have been, suffering from
sleepliness, insomnia, for many years,
and although 1 have tried almost every
thing'to get cured, consulting the
best physicians and even going several
times to Europe, everything was in
vain.
4I did not have a night's rest for al
most six years, that is to say, I could
not sleep for two hours in succession
in a single night; you can easily imag
ine what the effect on me had been.
'After spending a fortune in trying
for relief I had given up almost all
hope, and when I first read about
Paine's celery compound I did not have
much faith in anything. But after
having used so many remedies and
consulted so many physicians in this
country and abroad I felt like giving
the compound a trial. The result was
truly wonderful.
"The very first night about six
months ago that I tried Paine's celery
compound you can imagine my joy
when I fdtiud that 1 had slept six
hours in succession, a thing that I had
not been blessed with for so many
years. I continued the use for over
three months with the same happy re
sult, and although I was fearful lest
the malady would come back on me, I
can now say that although I have not
taken the compound for months I do
sleep every night peacefully and with
out interruption. .
"You can easily imagine what this
means for a man who works fourteen
hours every day in the year and has
charge of two large newspapers. I
consider my case a most remarkable
statement should be the means of
helping others who have suffered like
I in the same untold agonies, and
for this reason I give you full per
mission to make uie of tliis state
ment in any way you choose."

The fall of the year, when the sear

It would be well, especially in dry

and see if they are in good condition,
and the mortar in outside chimneys
often wash cot during the summer
and leaves a place for tire to start near
the coping. This should be looked
after with a little care. Your home
may be saved. Attend to it.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT;
JOHN T. PAYSEUR. CONDUCTOR ON THE C.
AND L. MEETS INSTANT DEATH.
He Was Coupling Cars at Lenoir When a Pro
jecting Plank Struck Him on the Side of
the Head and Crashed HLs Skull.
We take the following .account of
the most sad and untimely death of
Conductor John T. Payseur from yes
terday's Lenoir Topic. Capt. Payseur
was very popular in Hickory aad in
fact everywhere he was known. The
Topic says: s
Lat Thursday night about nine
o'elock, Capt. John T. Payseur, the
conductor on the night freight train
on the C. and L. Railroad, which runs
between Lenoir and Hickory, was al
most instantly killed while in the act
of coupling cars. The way the acci
dent occurred is as follows: -Capt.
Payseur, with two or three of his men,
were making up the train. Some of
the men were pushing a car loaded
with lumber up to a box car and Capt.
Payseur intended coupling - them.
Just as he was in the act of coupling
he was struck on the side of the
head, about one inch above the
left ear, with a projecting plank t
on the lumber car which pushed his
head against the box car, crushing his
skull. The space between the box car
and the projecting plank was ouly
four inches. When the plank struck
his head, some of the men who were
standing near him saw his lantern fall
to the ground and ran at once to him.
Mr. George Connelly was about the
first man to get to him, Capt. Payseur
dying in about twormiuutes, Mr. Con
nelly holding him in his arms. The
only word uttered by Capt. Payseur
after he was hurt was "Ohl" and- he
gave three gasps and was dead. Dr.
Ivey wis nerit for just as soon a the
accident happened, but life was ex
tinct when he arrived.
Capt. Payseur's body was taken to
his room at the Merchants' Hotel,
where it was dressed and fliced in a
casket and. on Friday morning at 6
o'clock, was taken to Lincolnton for
burial, being accompanied by Capt.
Payseur's train men and Major Har
per, Mr. Edmund Jones, Mr. E. F.
Reid and Capt, J. T. Grist.
The sudden and unexpected death
of Capt. Payseur, who was 28 years of
age and in the prime of life, and one
who wras so popular with our people,
cast a deep gloom over Lenoir. For
eight or ten years he had been on the
railroad and was held in high esteem
by the officers of the road as being one
of the most faithful men in their em
ploy. -
BARN BURNING.
Some niscraant Set Fire to the Barn of Noah
W. Propst and Nearly Ruined Him.
About onf o'clock one morning lat
week Mr. Noah W. Propst, . who is a
farmer residing near the riTer a few
miles northeast of Hickory, was awak
ened by lire in his barn and cribs. He
and others did all they could to save
the property, but in spite of all they
could do the barn burned to the
ground with all the roughness. Also

another cow being badly burned; one
mower and one rake, a two horse wag

from him, paying f 1.75 each.

A Wonderful Conqueror.
No disease is more common among
the people than scrofula. Handed
down from generation to g?neration,
it is found in nearly every family, in
some form. It may make its appear
ance in dreadful running sores, in
spellings in the neck or goitre, or in
eruptions of varied forms. Attacking
the mucous membrane it may be
known as catarrh, or developing in
the lungs it may be, and often is, the
prime cause of consumption.
In whatever form scrofula may man
ifest itself, Hood's Sarsaparilla is its
inveterate foe and conqueror. This
medicine has such powerful alterative
und vitalizing effects uj)on the blood
that every trace of impurity is expelled,
and the blood is made rich, pure and
healthy. 41-4t

lanta turned out en masse; stores were
closed and business. Thousands upon
thousands of people from everywhere
were there.
