blood medicines. -
f Pure blood means strong, vigorous bodies, well nourished
systems, steady nerves, and all the machinery of life working in
harmony watt nature thus insuring perfect health. Impure or diseased blood means the

various skin affections 4i6v that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition, as the
result of too. much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Chrome Sores and
Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, while Rheumatism. Catarrh
scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seate'd blood disorders that continue to
grow worse as long as the poisons which produce them remain in the blood.

Losses Will not Exceed
The conditions surrounding the fire
make it a matter of increasing won
der in short, nothing less than a
miracle that the fire having such a
headway did not sweep the entire sec
tion from Pollock street to the Trent
river. That it did not is due to the
magnificent work of the firemen and
too much praise pan not be given
them; Almost risking their lives in
the - awful heat they stood their
ground directing their efforts against
every attempt of the fire fiend to de
stroy more property and these at
tempts happened every few minutes.
There is not a house along the line
opposite the fire that was not set on
re by embers or the excessive heat.
In Mr .W. W. Clark's home the fire
caught under the tin roof audit was
necessary to cut a hole In the cell
ing In order to put a stream on the
roof. And. the control of the flames
that the firemen attained,, so . well
alone, sfllved the problem of. the sal
vation from the flames. Had a fire
gained a three minute start with the
northwest wind blowing a gale, the
doom of the entire block would have
been sealed. - To be sure tb.e rain had
been of some assistance, but without
the constant playing of water on the
places In danger. The Baptist, church
was set on fire two or three times but
it, was put out by the use of buckets
of water.
One of the excellent helps to the
boys was the Silsby engine, which
stood the test'splendidly and render
ed valiant service. The other engine
made ltsnsual record and ran itself
out of commission in a little while.'
There can be but little comprehen
sion of the fierceness of the fire ex
cept by eye witnesses, it is the united
testimony that the flames made the
most rapid progress of anything that
was ever seen here. It was like a
terrific cyclone of fire sweeping every
thing before It. The inmates of the
houses devoured had scarcely time to
save themselves, and it was impossi
ble to save even the least article of
household property.
Following is the list of losses:

BLOOD CURDLING EXPERIENCE
MiraeHloHS ENcape of a Passenger
Train From an Awful Wreck
By Collision.
Special Correspondence.
Greensboro, April 2. Passengers
arriving last night from the Charlgtte
train via Mocksville and Winston told
of a hair raising experience and an
almost miraculous escape from a ter
rible wreck at a trestle a few miles
this side of Mocksville yesterday af
ternoon. The passenger train was
nearly full, and as it approached a
trestle near Mocksville, had to stop,
waiting for it to b repaired suf
ficiently strong to cross on, the tres-.
tie having been partially destroyed
by fire. The train backed about two
hundred yards and stopped, awaiting
the signal to cross over. While the 30
Or more passengers on the rear coach,
were whiling away the time in con
versation, reading or napping, they
were startled to hear a railroad em
ployee yelling by the coach as he ran,
"Every one get out or you'll be kill
ed." Instantly windows were raised
and the aisles filled in the rush for
the doors. Half succeeded gettlngout
windows, into the red mud and rain,
running for their liveu from the
scene, as they saw bearing down on
the coach a double header frieght
with a string of 36 cars. The only
occupants left in the passenger coach
were State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, J. Y. Joyner, a lady and
infant. They ' had been absorbed in
reading, and had not heard the shout
of warning, only aroused by the exit
of others through the door or win
dows. . Hurrying to the door with the
lady and infant Mr. Joyner saw the
passenger train was running, and did
not attempt to leap from the moving
train. Fortunately, the train had pull
ed back 200 yards, giving it some lev
erage to go forward before reaching
the high trestle. The on coming
freight passed over where the train
had been standing and came to a stop
Just 20 feet from the rear coach of
the passenger. There was fortunate
ly an even grade, the engineer of the
freight had jumped after putting on
the emergency brakes and the thing
stopped just in the nick of time. The
trouble was caused by the passeng
er r flagman railing to go Dacit 10
warn on coming trains. As it was he
had been routed from his seat by the
conductor, and as he went to go back,
he saw the approaching engines of
the freight and gave the alarm to the
passengers as he hurried with his be
lated flag. The wise precaution of
backing the passenger a good dis
tance from the unsafe trestle, thereby
giving it a chance to move up from
the approaching freight,, alone saved
a horrible wreck.. But it did not save
many of the passengers from the
scare- of their lives and from the
smeared from head to feet with red
mud, with soaked clothes, and some
bruises to those who jumped out of
the windows.
