High School Girl Hit With Bullet Lincoln County Nows. Mi.S3 Marv Hines, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Hines, who lives on their farm across Clark’s Creek from Lincolnton, had a nar row escape from death about 7:40 o’clock last Saturday morning when she was struck in the right eye by a bullet from 22 calibre rifle. She was carried to the Lincolnton hospital and physician:; found the eye ball had been penetrated by the bullet and ihe sight in that eye destroyed. The bul let, a 22 calibre long, was located iwo inches behind the eyeball and waa removed by the physicians. Miss Mary, who is a pupil in the Lincolnton High School, is reported today us getting along nicely at the hospital. Where the bullet came from that inflicted the serious injury to Miss Hines is problematical. At the time of the shooting she was in the hall way alone; two smaller children of the family were in another part of the house but Mr. and Mrs. Hines and other children were at the barn. She was walking in the hall the fiont door and screen being open pnd was almost in the act of reaching for an umbrella at the end of the hall when the bullet struck her in the eye, and she rushed out in front of the home, crying in pain; the family rushed to her aid and 'summoning medical aid, began an investigation as to where the bullet came from, but thus far it i all a mystery. Various theories have been advanced, one is that it was a stray bullet from the rifle of some one, possibly in the hands of a boy. The bullet, according to physi cians. had spent its force when it struck or it would have gone through the kkuil and caused Instant death. The family and community is dis tressed by the accident, and while Mr. and Mrs, Hines sorrowfully regret the loss of their daughter's eye, they and the entire community neverthe less are glad that her life is spared and that hopes of recovery are good.

One hundred thousand persons, high and Ibw, rich and poor Tuesday paid their final tribute of respects to Chas F. Murphy, for two decades chieftain of Tammany Hall New York city. Not in many yenrs has the metropolis witnessed a funeral of such magni tude. The impressive silence of the im mense throng; was the dominant note. Early in the morning: such a crowd had feathered in front of his Wdcst old fashioned home in East 17th street thnt a hundred policemen were neces sary to keep the crowd moving. For hours there was a steady stream of men, women and children— the majority from the lower East side —into the parlor where the body lay Laborers, with lunch boxes under their arms, shop girls, silk hatted dig nitaries; women in costly clothes knelt 'for a moment of silent prayer before the coffin. > When the body, was taken to stately $t. Patricks cathedral on Fifth ave nue, the cortege passed through street* packed with people, with heads i hared. Here and there the silence was broken by the sobbing of a woman. More than 8,000 persons crowded [into the cathedral where Bishop John ; J. Dunn celebrated thte impressive solemn high mass of requiem. Outside the edifice, five thousand bowed their heads, while the ceremonies were in progress. When the services were concluded and the cortege started for Calvary cemetery in Queens, where interment was made, fully 50,000 hushed persons were packed along Fifth avenue. A thousand blue-coats lined the route to the cenrietery. The widow, who for two days had been in bed, prostrated, bore the or deal bravely. Several times her feet faltered, but relatives assisted her. Governor Alfred E. Smith, an old time friend of the leader, headed the honorary pall bearers. The governor plainly showed his grief. He was flanked by Mayor John F. Hylan. Oth er honorary pall bearers included Un ited States Senator Royal S. Cope land; Norman E. Mack, Democratic national committeeman; George E. Brennan, Democratic leader of Illin ois, James W. Gerard, former ambas sador to Germany; Bernard M. Ba ruch, William H. kelley, Democratic leader of Syracuse; Samuel S. Koes nig, Republican county chairman; Her beet Bayard Swope, of the New York World; and close political associates of Mr. Murphy.

Mothers, what would you give to feel ©a*y wiien your little one begins to show signs of bijousness? It is customary to think that you ought to use calomel and castor oil, but you d eg ad giving these doses as much as the child fears to take them. And •till, you dread what may happen if you use just the ordinary children’s laxative. it was to meet this very situation that I, invented Liv-o-lax. ami if you try it once, you won't think of using calomel again. Liv-o-lax cleanses liver and bowels, too, and still it is a pleasant • tasting liquid, entirely vegetable, which causes no distress, serves equally well in colds, constipation and indigestion and is just as good for adults as it is for the child ren—who realty love to take it.
