“Mr. W. L. Moore, a photographer
from Raleigh who has been here sev
eral days taking pictures, wns very
badly injured Inst Saturday. Mr.
Moore waS located in the room to the
rear of Mr. Ryburn’s law office and
took pictures by the flashlight process.
His brother had sent him some new
chemicals, advising at the time to be
careful as they were very combustible
and telling him to take out an acci
dent policy before he used them. Sat
urday Mr. Kemper Kendall, wife and
little daughter went to have their pic
ture taken. Mr. Moore used this new
preparation and it exploded in his
hands before he had applied any fire.
As a result his hand was horribly
mangled the most of the flesh being
torn off the bones. Drs. Victor McBray
or and R. C. Ellis dressed the wouhd.
At first it was thought it would be
necessary to amputate his hand, but
the doctors succeeded in getting it
dressed alright, and Mr. Moon? is
doing as well as could be expected.
“Some fragments of glass or tin
struck Mr. Kendall cutting a gash on
his shoulder, which was sewed up by
Dr. T. E. McBrnyer.
Why He Succeeded
From hard work on a (anil to the study
! of medicine in Cincinnati, whet* he was
graduated in 1802, was the course which
Dr. R. V. Pierce took.
| In his younger days he practiced med
icine over a large district. It was then the
new oil fields near Titusville, Pa. Finally
he determined to put up some of his
prescriptions in ready-to-use form in order
to reach a larger number of families.
He thus early moved to Buffalo, N. Y.,
and established the World’s Dispensary,
where he put up Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery for the blood as well as
the Favorite Prescription for women, care
fully preparing them from roots, barks and
herbs and placed them with druggists ev
erywhere.
During the last sixty years Dr. Pierce’s
Discovery, for the blood, has been sold in
larger quantities by druggists all over the
United States than any other medicine.
It is a tonic in its effects on the stomach
and digestive apparatus; an atterativt fn
its action on the blood, fiVer and skin. It
increases the appetite, stimulates the di
gestion, enriches the blood, and makes tytth
men and women feel as they did when
they were young and care free.
Ask your nearest druggist for Doctor
Pierce’s Discovery, in tablet or liquid
form, or send 10c tor trial pkg. of tablets to

OPINIONS
(From Greenville News.)
There was that story from London
the other day, of how George the Fifth
by the Grace of God of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land nnd of the British Dominions be
yond the Seas King, Defender of the
Faith, Emperor of India, was walking
nmortg the exhibits at the Wembley
exposition; and of how a citizen of
Iowa dragging little Henry by the
hand spied him; and of how this rep
resentative of the New V rid shoved
his way forward nnd stopped George.
“Shake hands with America, King,
said he, and the king shook and turn
ed to little Henry and shook again,
nnd what that did to international re
lations we leave to the diplomats. Say:
the Now York World:
It is like the story of the Prince of
Wales on his first trip over here. A
newspaper reporter, with a green
photographer on his hands, wa: hav
ing a hard time getting a picture. So
mopping his brow, he bawled:
“Hey, Prince! Park t.ie royal body
over here, will vou, so this dumb-bell
can get a shot!”
And the Prince laughed and posed
as directed. . . . And it is like
the story told at Annapolis about the
Queen m Denmark. The midshipmen
a few yoaTx ngo were on their summer
cruise, and a proat ball was given in
their honor at Copenhagen. And about
half-way through the festivities a mid
shipman was seen wandering about
disconsolately. Finally ho approached
the Queen, and without formality
came to the point:
“Hay, Queen,” lie said, “do you know
where I can get a piece of cake?”
And again royalty showed itself to
be human. The Queen left her post,
found a whole cake and tied it up be
tween two phonograph records for the
midshipman to take home.
And it is like that story that came
down from Nw York of how Mrs.
Dylan—but it may have been another
-—was one of those officially welcom
ing Queen Elizabeth of Belgium on her
visit, and of the great to-do at the
welcome ceremonies and of all the flim
fiammery that the city did exhibit and
of Queen Elizabeth’s turning to Mrs.
Hylan and expressing appreciation, to
gether with the remark that somebody
had gone to a great deal of trouble.
Whereupon Mrs. Hylan—hut it may
hnve been another—replied in a burst
of confidence:
“Queen, you said a mouthful.”
And finally, there may be some truth
in the views of the Wayne county
doughboy who for heroism was award
ed a medal by the British high com
mand and in time received the medal
by personal presentation of King
George. On his arrival his friends
in Wayne were ashing him this and
that and eventually what ho thought
of the king. “Weil", said the citizen ot
Wayne, “he seems like a right live
feller.”
’ (’art! of Thanks.
Lee A. Gantt in behalf of himself
and the family of I). M. Walker wish
es to express their hearty ■appreciation
for he kindatv shown them during
the siekni ss a-,ul death of the said 1>.
M. Walker.
May the Lord hies:, tin.1, guide each
and every one "f them.
Show a Court Front.
(From Li-xinjfli n pi: natch.
Tho Mon':"oo Enquirer reports that
the county agent there i-. urging farrti
o ; living along much traveled high
ways t • “p,rt on a .good front’* to the
public, Ho would have them improve
thrtrtr hiring the main li'phvvayr. to the
highert state of production. Homes
that are withb sight of the passing
thousands he would like to see well
painted and surrounded by trees,
shrubs, or flowers, or all three.
Undoubtedly this is a good idea. Not
infrequently the main highways run
through section:: of country net natur
ally the most fertile and st •augers get
the imprer. ionh from what is by the
roadside that it is a mighty poor coun
try they are passing through. On the
other hand if th re are righ fields and
well kept homes by the rouls-ide the
reputation. of the eonimunlty in spread
far and wide. A double pr< fit thus is
gained by that community. Its own
livlrit* conditions e\w:tua!ly improved
and it;- reputation i, enh: need abroad;
and surely a good name is to be covet
et along with riches, or ahead of them.
One needs only to go abroad on the
main highways in .hi - action these
days to be convinced that this idea is
spreading. Farmers in Davidson coun
ty are taking more pride in the beauty
of their homes than ever bet ore and
several time more printed houses and
flowering yards may be seen now on
any main road in the country than was
the ease eight or ten years ago. It is a
good thing to keep up, and it ought to
be kept up until no traveler from a»*.
other section will go back and say that
North Carolina most of all needs a
coat of paint, l’aint, flowers and le
gumes on the fields by the roadside
will turn the trick.
Wanted in Shelby.
Gaffney Ledger.
Jack Camp, more or less wellknown
Gaffney negro, who was arrested here I.
Saturday night for authorities ot!
Shelby, N. C., where it is alleged he ;
violated the prohibition laws recently, j
was being held in the county jail here
yesterday awaiting his decision as to
whether he will consent to go to Sliel- j
by without requisition papers. .Sheriff |
Wright said Jack rather demurred i
against returning to Tarheelia, saying
he “hadn’t done nothing there.” Locai
officers yesterday prepared to notify
the Shelby authorities that Ja k was
in jail here.
Meeting Troops They Trained.
(From Patterson, N. J., Morning Call.)
When European nations having Af
rican colonies, particularly France,
brought black .mops to the front dur- ,
ing til? World war they trained these
savages in modern warfare and made
them effective fighters against the
central powers.
Today ,the revolt of the T’iffian
tribes in Morocco, the French are find
ing that instead of facing hordes of
untrained tribesmen they are meet
ing soldiers accustomed to modern war
are and capable of putting up a splen
dicPfight against the French troops.
French warfare lias been adopted by i
the Riffian forces, and in facing the |
French troops the natives are using
all the things they learned in France,
and to good advantage.
Many of the black soldiers are vet
erans of the war against the Spanish,
in which they proved their ability to
meet Europeans, and it is reported j
that they are gathering strong sup- ]
porters from many tribes in the Hin
terland, and it is believed that the
French forces are likely to meet with
serious difficulties in the future.

FILED FOR RECORD
Gaffney Ledger.

Robert Tate, of Hall county, (la., to I
James Littlejohn, of Union district,

deed was written entirely by band on
a sheet of letter paper. Hall sold the!
