BLOATED FEELING And Other Troubles Went , Away After This South Carolinian Had Taken Black-Draught. Tva, 8. C.—"I have used Black Draught, at Intervals, for about five years,” says Mr. J. P. Gilliland, of this place. "I take it for Indigestion. • After eating, I would have a tight, bloated feeling, and pains in my chest and stomach. I would spit up my food, ard some things I ate would not agree with me at all. "I would be hungry, but afraid to eat on account of the indigestion. I would be constipated, too. ‘‘Some one told me that I should try Black-Draught, which I did, with good results. I take just a small dose after meals, and I fee like a different person. “I do not have any more trouble of that kind. I can now eat al most anything I want to, at any time, and it does not hurt me. "Black-Draught is a splendid medicine. I can recomend it to others.” Thousands of people have found relief, in cases of common indiges tion, by taking a pinch of Black Draught after meals, and contlnuin this treatment for several days.

Influenza Much Milder This Year Than In 1918 But-Vicks Laboratories Aga'n Operating Ni^ht and Day to Supply itccord-Making De mand. Although the type of flu this year is not so serious as in 1918, health authorities are urging every body to treat even the slightest cold at the start, as colds lower the resistance and make the body an easy prey to bronchitis or pneu monia. An interesting response to this warning has been the phenomenal call for Vicks VapoRub, the extern al treatment which proved so help ful in the 1918 epidemic. In spite of vastly increased ca pacity, the Vicks laboratories are once more operating all night long and are now producing 432,000 jars daily. A substantial part of this in crease is attributed to the wide-' spread use of Vicks as a preventive. INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANY Nt» York. Dccmbci 26th. 1928.

Below, several bars from "H'Trovatore,” culminating in the D-flat note (arrow) which Lauri-Voipi held for eight beats. | I.auri-Yolpi Held On Three Beats Longer Than Rosa Ponselle. (By International Illustrated News) New York.—Operatic prima don nas are traditionally stormy of temperament. Trifles are apt to pro voke in them tempestuous attacks of "nerves.” But none ever had to bear anything quite so trying as the thing which befell poor Rosa Ponselle before an audience glit tering in all the panoply of fash ion. The great Pcnselle and Giacomo Lauri-Volpi were approaching the climax of an almost-perfect "II Trovatore” when It happened. At the end of an exciting scene, the emotional Lauri-Volpi, carried away in his part, did what no other tenor had ever done—held a D-flat note for eight beats, three beats after Rosa had aided-her own bcll like accompaniment! Audience Cries Bravo! And the audience applauded, the first scattered hand-clapping deep ening into a sonorous wave of bravos and feet-stamping in which even the orchestra players Joined. A famous director cheered. As related Dy a memDer oi n Trovatore” cast and later cent inn - ed by Miss Ponselle and Signor Lauri-Volpl, this particular occa sion marked the first time they had sung this Verdi opera together. Be cause of certain exigencies there hadn't been time for rehearsals. But so often had each sung their re spective roles with other artists that they felt confident they could car ry through without a hitch. The fireworks came in Act I, scene II. Lauri-Voipi, as Man.ieo plays the ardent lover of tiie fair Llecnora, otherwise, Miss Pcnsei.e. His rival is Giuseppe Danis?, a county, who isn't so succeeciul in romantic roles. Besides he is a baritone. They are in a garden. Eleanora discovers by ...mg a m-ek that the troubadour is none ct.ier than Manrico, whCioi.cn the count! challenges him to a duel. The scene | ends w.th tue three rhir.g to tnc j D-fiat region. T hat is, Lleunora and Manrico hit that r.ele. Ponseiie Is IUeitbrckcn. It is usually held lor two beats'; sometimes three. On this occasion Miss Ponselle and Lauri-Voipi held •t live together, but the latter kept on going—continued lor three mere oeats to establish a record. When .he audience broke into applause, :iss Ponselle burst into tears. "Why did you shame me out ere?” the fan- Rosa demanded of auri-Volpi, once the curtain had opped; "I finished long before ou. Why, did you do it.” She was led off to her dressing oom by solicitous attendants and a half dozen assistant directors of the "Met” were summoned to lis ten to her demand that Laiui-Vol pi be disciplined. When the final curtain fell, the storm had subsid d considerably. “I think Ponselle is a great art .,” says Lauri-V<>lpi. 'Mr. Lauri-Voipi is a thorough ntleman,” retort? Miss Ponselle.

I In tlie Stanly News Herald Mr Charles Me Swain (ell:, the story ol [hidden gold that was revealed by the ghost ol u departed fau>band. With most of us. he says, our ex perience with buried treasure has ended with our dreams. But ante a well-known Albemarle man. declares that he has experi enced the real thing. He made hts confession to me only a few days ago. When the man was a boy of 6, he used to sec a certain old woman whose real name was—oh, well, let us call her old Mrsl Peggy Peabody —who was a terrible mystery to the community. Nobody knew how old she was, but her leathery old face was worn and wrinkled and smack ed of a wisdom gained from com munion with spirits and the occult. Her husband had been killed in the Revolutionary War. And cer tainly the old Mrs. Peabody had lived alone in an old log cabin as far back as anybody in the com munity could remember. Often she was seen waddling along over the woods, supporting herself with a big crooked stick, bent nearly dou ble. and chanting a strange Utany that nobody could understand. Ru mor had It that on these long walks she visited a pot of buried treasure from which she secured enough gold to buy sustenance and things she wanted. Others claimed, how ever, that she visited spirits of the dead and that the devil himself fed her from his own hand. Why they should have entertain ed such an. evil, belief as this Is not known.-because old Mrs. Peggy Pea body was a woman Who always minded her own business and never did anybody any harm. "She never "went anywhere, ex cept to our house," said the Albe marle man. "I remember seeing her there lots of times, but never heard her say one thing. She would come waddling up to the house and aft er my mother had fetched her a chair and she had seated herself, she would always say: 'He was back last night, but didn't leave any word.’ ” The Albemarle man stated that he often wondered what she had reference to, and who the ''he” was that old Mrs. Peggy was always re ferring to. When he would ask his mother to explain, she would sim ply smile and answer that it was beyond her. One morning old Mrs. Peggy Pea body came waddling to the home of the Albemarle man’s parents, mak ing a little more time than usual. She was trying to hurry. From time to time she would glance back over her shoulder as though she suspected herself of being pursued. Arriving at the house, she called fo rthc Albemarle man’s father. "Mother sent me to tell him,” he said, "and I remember we both went back to the house on a run. The minute father was in the house old Mrs. Peabody said: "He was back last night and told me there was a pot cf treasure under the hearth rock. He said for me to get tt and do what I wanted to with it. Said he wouldn't be back any more. I don’t know whether it’s there or not, but I’d like for you to come and lift up the rock. It’s too heavy for me to lift,.” “What did you do then," I in quired, interested. "Just coming to that,” said the! Albemarle man. "Why father told me to go and bridle up old Beck and give her a bucket of water while he got the harness ready. Well, we hitched old Beck, our fifteen-year-old mule, 10 the bug gy and I sat In old Mrs. Peabody's lap while my father drove. He used the whip frequently, and we went trotting all the way from our house to the home of Mrs. Peabody. I re member my father was in such a hurry that he didn't take time to tie old Beck, but Just left her. "We hurried Into the house as quickly as we could, and old Mrs. South’s Own Flavor is found in Golden Crown Syrup. Good for pancakes, waffles and hot breads. At AJJ Grocer* Steuart, Son & Co.

Continuing, the AJbem.ulc mar states! that the old woman explain ed what she meant by; ‘Hr wa back last night, but didn't lean any word.' It was her nusbund who was killed in the Revolutionary War. It seems that the dead husband hnd been coming back and visiting his widow once each month since he was killed on the battle field. On every visit he stated that he had something to tell her, but said he couldn't remember exactly what It was. When he finally remembered, tire pot of gold was the ultimate re sult. The Albemarle man declares this tale Is the honest-to-goodness truth because he saw It with hts own eyes. And he Is none .other than J. T. Cole, a man of Integrity and undoubted veracity.
