"Now," said the young man, shud dering, "suppose a stage load of chil dren were to glide on to the track from that lane what a Messing it would then be if you could stop short, in Etantly. like a man walking." 'Blessing?" said the engineer. "Why, young fellow, if that stage you speak of were to appear now, and I could Itop short like a man walking, I wouldn't do it. Instead, I'd keep right tin and kill the kids." "Why?" "Because it would he the more hu mane course. In one case there would he a stage load of kids slaughtered; in the other case there would be the Blaughter of a traiuload of people. This train is going at the rate of forty-five miles an hour, and the sudden stop page of a train going at that rate would give the passengers precisely the same shock that they would get from a fall of fifty-four feet a fall from a housetop." Preparing Fur the Storm. A correspondent iu the north of Ire land sends the following account of an Interesting incident that came under Lis observation: Being on a walking tour through In ishoweu and passing along the edge of Lough Swilly, the romantic Lake of Shadows." he noticed an immense gath ering of rooks on the sandy shore. In company with several others, the tour ist was attracted by this novel spec tacle and began to wonder at the cause of it. An old man who was working in a field near the place offered an expla nation. He said that the birds were picking up sand to ballast themselves In a storm and that when they did so It was a sure sign of approaching bad weather. He added that on shooting rooks after a gathering of the sort he had found that they were loaded with sand. As a matter,of fact, the gentle man concludes, a violent gale set in early next morning.

Mr. Thornton Yancey Attacked by Nero Name Mallory. An assault was made on Mr. W. T. Yancey, of the Bank of Granvllle.last Saturday night which naturally aroused the Indignation of our peo people. Just as Mr. Yancey was com ing out of the bank building with his sister, who had left the Central tele phone office and started home, seve ral negro boys had congregated in front and on the steps. He requested them to move, and one of them did so, but one of them named M arable refused, whereupon Mr. Yancey push ed him aside so he aud his sister might pass, when suddenly the negro as saulted him with alargestone.whlch he evidently already had In his band, breaking his derby hat In two places and Inflicting a severe wound on his head. But for the kind of hat he wore the wound would have been much more serious and probably fa tal. The negro at once fled and has not yet been captured. Such a cowardly act cannot be too strongly condemn ed, aud shows that our sidewalks, steps and doorways In the town must be kept free from loafers. The Incident should be a lesson to our po lice force. We have noticed for some time that too many loafers have been allowed on the sidewalks of our bus iness streets obstructing people pass ing. There Is a town ordinance prohib iting this, and our police should do their duty and enforce the law. 1 1 la a dally occurrence to see the side walk at two points on Hlllsboro street Everlasting Row and In front of the Edmondson restaurant block aded with boisterous loafers. Let our otRcers set to work to stamp out this practice, and the sooner the bet ter for the peace aud order of the town Had the law been luforeed the unpleasant occurrence would have been averted.

School Election, Personal, Poor Mar ket, Improvement, etc. Miss Nina Mangum has closed her school in North Creedmoor. We are sorry to learn of the con tinued 111 health of Mrs. J. F. Sander ford. Mrs. Walter Aiken and children are on an extended visit to relatives In the City of Oaks. Messrs. E. A. Council and J. W. Mangum spent last week at Stovall wrtlng Insurance. Mrs. J. C. FlemlDg.of Lyon.ls spend ing a few days with the family of her son. Mr. Gus Fleming. We . are glad to state the Infant daughter of Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Sher wood Is much improved. We are eorry to state the illness of Mrs. Will Garner and Mr. JimTlngen and little daughter, Oza. Mrs. M. F. Adcock and children have returned after a week's stay with relatives in Raleigh. We are sorry to state that Jessa mine, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Fleming Is very 111. Mr. R. P. Jones, who had his saw tolil burned last week, has purchased another mill and Is again at work. A nice coat of paint has added much to the beauty of the home of Messrs. Rufe Jeffreys and Battle Wagstaff. Iet us be on the lookout for street cars which must surely be on the way to take us out to the park In northeast Creedmoor. Mrs. T. M. Thomasson and little daughter. Lillian, have been spending the week In Creedmoor in attendance upon little Jessamine Fleming. The market here Is very poor. Some days not a fish,, no beef or pork nor even a cabbage can be bought. We need some one who wilt keep a sup ply at all times. Nearly all the tender little plants In this section were injured by the late visit of Jack Frost. Thecontln ued dry weather too adds to the feebleness of the growing crop. Quite a number of people were on our streets Saturday. Ourmerchants are doing a big business with the far mers of the surrounding country and Saturday Is one of their busiest days. Creedmoor has been wan ting a den tist. She now has one lu the person J"' .vu""S noSe. iv.,Ke., pmtfiilege; wha we hope of voung Dr. Roger Rogers, of Rich- will like well enough to make a permanent home here. On Saturday, May 19th, our citi zens will hold an election to levy a pedal tax for the benefit of our school. Let all our good citizens go to the polls and cast their votes for the betterment of Creedmoor school. A good school will do more to build up Creedmoor than anything else. More people with families will come here to live because business Is good, but just a 4-months public school Is not much Inducement to a man who has children to educate. The man with a large family is the one who will etay when once he Is settled, the large families add much to the popu lation of a place and future citizens to follow many different pursuits and occupations. So let's offer some in ducement to people to locate here, and then broaden their minds so they will not be opposed to every move ment that Is made for their own ben efit and for the good of their town. This is a far reaching subject and the decision of our people Saturday will not only affect the present Inhabi tants of Creedmoor but will leave Its Impress upon the rising generation. Let ejery man here do what he hon estly believes to be best, aud let him believe It best to have better schools. Anonymofs. Confederate Veterans.

SAFE AND RELIABLE. That the roots of many native plants, growing wild in our American forests, possess remarkable properties for the cure of human maladies is well proven. Even the untutored Indian had learned the curative value of some of these and taught the early settlers their uses. The Indian never liked work so lift wanted his squaw to get well as soon as possible that she might do the work and let him hunt. Therefore, he dug " papoose root " for her, for that was their great remedy for fe male weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the game root caTTed Blue Cohosh in his Favorite Prescription." skillfully com-. Lined with other agents that make it more effective than any other medicine in curing all the various weaknesses and painful derangements peculiar to women. Many afflicted women have been saved from the operating table and the sur geon's knife by the timely use of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Tender ness over the lower pelvic region, with backache, spells of dizziness, fuintness, bearing down pains or distress should not go unheeded. A course of "Favorite Pre scription" will work marvelous benefit in all such cases, and generally effect a permanent cure if persist! in for a rea sonable length of time. The "Favorite Prescription" is a harmless agent. Iieing wholly prepared from native medicinal roots, without a drop of alcohol in its make up. whereas all other medicines, put r.p for sale through druggists for woman's peculiar ailments, contain large quantities of spirituous liquors, which are vry harmful, especially to delicate women. "Favorite Prescription" con tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit forming drugs. All its ingredients are printed on each bottle wrapper. It is a powerful invigorating tonic, imparting health and strength in particular to the organs distinctly feminine. For weak and sickly women, who are "worn-out," or debilitated, especially for women who work in store, office, or school-room, who sit at the typewriter or sewing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, and for nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will prove a priceless benefit because of its health - restoring and strength-giving power. For constipation, the true, scientific cure is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Mild, harmless, yet sure. BUSINESS GETTERS. Dr. C. D. H.
