i Butter Has a Busy Sunday A Man
' From Dowa SoDtb and a Telegram
: ftwi Catawba,
As A News reporter was . oa his
wsy to Church Sunday morning, rhe
noticed as he passed Butler's jewelry
store that there was a maa string
inside with a troubled expression on
his lace, and a rock hanging to one
of his hands. The troubled ex'
pressiod was caused, by a mad dog
bite, sod the rock ' that was clinging
to mm was uutier s mad stone. 1 be
fna wis named S. P. Eardson, and
hrw IrA'Alkeft"
near Augusta. H was bitten sev
eral days ago by a mad dog, and
had tome all the way to Charlotte
to have the mad stone applied. ' The
stone clung to his , wound for forty
minutes. V- ''i':s-'&-ijy-
' While the stone was still hanging
to Mr. Eardson's flesh, a Western
Union messenger boy came Into the
store with a telegram for. Mr. Butler
from Mr. G. C McNeil, of Catawba,
N. C, asking for the mad stone to
be sent him to apply to his little
boy who had been bitten by a mad
dog.' Mr. Eardsoa said that on his
farm a young lady, one cfeild, and a
negro had been batten by the same
dog that bit him, and wanted to
take the stone home with him to ap
ply to their wounds. Mr. Butler,
however, sent it to Mr. McNeO.
Mr. Eardsoa experienced great re
lief from the application of - the
stone, and went home la a happy
frame of mind. -; ' .
This mad stone of Butler's is un
questionably a genuine one. : It
found la the "light" of a deer that
killed In the mountains, and is
of a "very peculiar formation, being
egg shaped. - It is composed of
porous layers. Some time ago the
outside layer was broken, and k Cell
off like the shell of a buckeye. The
atone has been applied to hundreds
of bites, and good results have al
ways followed. . After k drops from
a wound, it is boded in milk, and
the milk becomes green. Butler
has refused aa offer of 500 for k.
This stone is beginning to attract
the attention of Scientists and medi
cal men. Itb claimed that'll will
care a eaeke bite without the -aid of
hk4ey.;-. ' 1 ; -

THE JEWELER
Tba af aa with a Olio Tengus ana a Big
; Shirt Front, Who Took ia tba Crowd
v Bomtbing of bis Operation.
t ne medicine man wbose oper
ations in Charlotte ' were noted in
Saturday's News, did up Concord
for several hundred. His fraud b so
patent, that hardly any sympathy
can he expressed for those who get
bit by him; but all the same the
papers of the State ought to show
him tip. i: -tu'":i,:vS&
He a ; sleek looking . customer;
youngvwitb
black, with vest cut away to "show
nearly the whole of a "biled" shirt
front, which b onamented with take JE3
diamonds. He hails from California," I .
and has been having a good time in I cxd
the adjoining towns for several weeks
past , This young man drives a pair I
of horses around town and attracts
attention and a crowd as he goes by
throwing out nickles. . When he
comes to a stand, as bird hunters
would say, he rises in his buggy and
throws nickles right and left, In
little or no time he has a big crowd
around him.. Then he holds up a
bottle of medicine and somebody
hands as cents for it He hands out
the medicine and not only returns
the sj cents, but gives 10 cents
extra. This goes on for sometime
until, he hands back a larger bottle
with the 50 cents and $ cents extra.
Alter a tittle time he gets up to $1,
and the crowd understand that they
are to get back their dollar and $5
extra. Some of them are socager
to come in oe thb racket that they
trample over each other in an effort I fQ
to hand ia their dollars. . When the
fake ; has taken in about $300,
he ' picks up his lines ; and
drives off, leaving a badly sold
crowd behind him. Ia thb Wsy he
got not less than Ijoo in Charlotte
Saturday evening. He took the
mooey la with both hands, aad
couldn't take k is fast enough. Just
before be left, and while he was stuf
fing the money down his pocket, he
remarked to the crowd, ""Now 4

One countryman who had
come to town to get some medicine
for a sick child, spent k 'all 00 the
fraud, . and then went around trying
to borrow more money to buy the
child's medicine-, Some of the vic
tims talked about having the 1
arrested, but they found out that
they would have to catch him first.
