2 LIVIES-DEMOCRAT ARR1L 4, 1907. To All the Women Who Softer Peruna Is Earnestly Commended Mrs. Geo, C. Worstell, 11 River Road, Clarksburg, W. Va., writes: “I trust that no one will think from this that I want my name in public for any cause only to let sufferers know where they may find relief from many ailments. “I can truly say I have been much benefited by the use of Peruna. I feel better than I have for two years. It is the best medicine that I know for pelvic troubles. have taken medicine from the doctors and found no relief; but when I began taking’ Peruna I could see that. before T had finished takino* the first bottle it was doing m Cold Developed into Catarrh. Mrs. N. P. Lawler, 423^ N. Broadway, Pittsburg, Kas., writes : “Peruna is a sovereign remedy for Catarrh. Last spring I caught a severe cold which developed into a serious case of catarrh. I felt weak and sick and could neither eat nor sleep well. “A friend who had been cured of ca tarrh through the use of Peruna advised me to try it and I did so at once. I ex pected help, but nothing like the won derful change for the better I observed almost as soon as I started taking it. “In three days I felt much better and within a week ! was well. 1 continued taking the entire bottle and within two weeks I was in fine health. Peruna is a wonderful medicine. ” Catarrh of the Bowels. Mrs. Maggie Durbin, 1332 North St., Little Rock, Ark., writes: “I was troubled for five years with a chronic disease. I tried everything I heard of, but nothing did me any good. Some doctors said my trouble was catarrh of the bowels, and some said consumption of the bowels. One doctor said he could cure me; 1 took his medi cine two mopths, but it did me no good. “A friend of mine advised me to try Peruna and I did so. After I had taken two bottles I found it was helping me, so I continued its use, and it has cured me sound and well. “If anyone wants to know what Peruna did for me if they will write to me I will answer promptly.” Pains in the Side. Mrs. Julia Braxton, Apollo, Pa., writes: “Peruna has cured me of heart trou ble and pains in the side. “A year ago I was expected to die at any time, and the doctor was sometimes called at two o’clock in the morning. But I am thankful to say that I do not not have to send for a doctor now. “Since I have used your Peruna as you advised me, I am well and able to do all my housework. “I have all the faith in the world in Peruna as it cured me and I know that it will cure others. “I cannot praise Peruna enough for what it has done for me.” Stomach Trouble. Miss Anna Carsten, Clayton, Ill., writes: , “Your Peruna did me so much good. “I am feeling so well now and have no trouble with my stomach.” PETITION FOR REMOVAL. Asks That Dispensary Board of Rich land County Be Removed—Grounds for Petition. Columbia, S. C., April 1.—A petition has been, filed with Governor Ansel, asking him to remove from office the Richland county dispensary board of control on the ground that they have violated the law in permitting Charles Narey to operate a bottling establish ment. The petitioners are Messrs. J. B. Letton and H. E. Watts, who also held bottling permits from the board. The Richland board is composed of John J. Cain, contractor; B. M. Eng lish, farmer; and George W. Taylor, country merchant. Under the Carey-Cothran act all bot tling establishments in operation when that act went into effect on Feb ruary 16th, 1907, holding a license from the State dispensary board of directors were continued as bottling plants upon the payment of a license set forth in the act. At that time Letton and Watts were running Bottling establishments in Columbia, but neither bad ever ob tained a license from the State board or directors. Charles Narey, a former bottler, had a license but his establish ment was not in operation. He had resigned as beer dispenser about ten months or more ago and had sold, it is alleged, his plant. However, he put in his application to the board, alleging that he held the license and was entitl ed under the law to operate his plant as a beer bottler. The board recogniz ed the right of Narey as well as . of Letton and Watts, and all three of them have since begun operations as beer bottlers. Now Letton and Watts, through their attorneys, Bellinger & Welch, bring this action before Gover nor Ansel to have the county board re moved for the alleged violation of law in permitting Narey to operate his plant. Governor Ansel has taken no action on the petition, of course, and if he does act he will doubtless give the county board the right to be first heard. The attorney for the county board is Mr. John P. Thomas, Jr. Moor of Church Fell During Funeral Service Spartanburg, S. C., April 2.—The floor of the Macedonia church fell through with a crash during the fune ral services of the Rev. J. M. Brown, former pastor of the church. Men, women and children rushed for the doors, praying and shouting and causing a stampede among the congre gation. Several women fainted and were trampled upon, sustaining painful in juries, although no fatalities have been reported. One of the privileges of being rich is not being afraid to carry an old cotton umbrella that bulges in the middle like a sack of flour. Somehow there is more fun in an old pipe and a pair of slippers your wife won’t let you wear except when she is away and don’t know it, than in deaming you are floating around in heaven. New Teller at M. & F. Bar.k. Mr. Harvey Moore, formerly of the Southern Cotton Oil Company, of this city, who resigned his position about six months ago to accept the manager ship of the company’s branch office at Concord, has been elected teller of the Merchants’ and Farmers’ National Bank.

I have not felt so well in ten years as I do now. I would recommend Peruna and Manalin to all suf ferers. I will say, God bless Dr. Hartman and his wonderful rem edies.” Miss Julia Butler, R. R. 4, Appleton, Wis., writes: “For the past six years I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, causing loss of sleep and appetite, with fre quent severe pains after eating. “My sister advised me to try Peruna. “I took your treatment and my ap petite returned speedily. “I gained strength and flesh and am in perfect health. “I am so thankful your medicine has done me so much good.” s Mrs. O. D. Robinson, 43 St. Felix St., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: ? f “I have taken Peruna and it did me more good than all my two years’ * S treatment by special physicians.

Mother, Children Were Probably Burned Alive Morganton, April 2—A strange story has just reached here in connection with the fires that have raged on the South Mountains, near Burkemont, about eight miles from Morganton. Last Saturday a number of lumbermen who had been into the.mountains and were on their return, came to the home of Mr. Singerfelt, a cripple, liv ing several miles from town. The lum bermen were in formed by the wife of Singerfelt that her husband had mysteriously disappeared and could not be found. As the fires in the mountains were drawing near the Singlefelt house the men advised Mrs. Singlefelt to take her children and flee for safety, but all in vain. Following this, news has just been received that the Singlefelt home was destroyed by fire and that no trace can be found of either Mrs. Singlefelt, chil dren or her missing husband. The supposition is that the mother and children were burned to death while they slept. GOVERNOR ORDERED TO MOVE. Gets in “Wrong Pew” and Street Car Conductor Reminds Him of Law. Raleigh, April 3.—The enforcement of the new “jim crow” street car law on the Raleigh street cars beginning April 1, has given rise to many amus ing and interesting incidents, especial ly notable being the fact that Governor R. B. Glenn was one of the .very first citizens in town to have to be “order ed” to his lawful section of the car un der the “jim crow” regulations. The Governor hurried out of the mansion to take a car that was just passing for the union depot where he was to catch an early train for Holly Springs. He hailed the car as he almost ran from the mansion to the street and when he climbed in at the rear seats and sank into one of the nearest seats. Under* the new law the rear seats are for negroes and so the conductor un der imperative orders to enforce this law promptly informed his excellency that he could not occupy that seat and must move to the other end of the car. The Governor promptly complied and ex; essed his gratification a tthis il- lusliation of efforts at - enforcement of the law. Forest City depot Burned. Rats Probably Set Fire Rutherfordton, N.

Washington, April 2.—"So much for what Harriman said about me personally,” says the President, in concluding his first letter to Sher man. Far more important, the Presi dent regards the additional remarks which Sherman said Harriman made to him when he asked him if he thought it was well to see “Hearst- ism and the like” triumphant over the Republican party. “You,” says the President, “inform me that he told you that he did not care in the least because those peo ple were crooks and he could buy them,” and other similar remarks. This the President says was doubt less partly in boastful, cynicism and partly in the burst of bad temper, but it showed in the President’s opinion cynicism and deepseated corruption which he denounces in strong words. A Tremendous wavewas Encountered by Neptune New York, April 2.—A tremendous wave, which the captain believes re sulted from an earthquake under the bed of the ocean, was encountered about three hundred miles off the At lantic coast of South America Febru ary 26 by the steamer Planet Nep tune.

NOTICE OF PUBLICATION. North Carolina, Mecklenburg County. In Superior Court, Special Proceed ing. J. T. Sanders, Plaintiff, vs. Vashti Wil liams, Della Williams, Clare Nathan ¬ Did Little Boy Help Robbers ? The store of the Southern Hardware Company, on the southwest corner of Trade and Church streets was enter ed Tuesday night and 25 or 30 revolvers and more than 500 rounds of cartridges taken from the front show case. A new $60 overcoat, belonging to Mr. W. W. Watt, and $6 in cash was stolen. An entrance was effected by the aid of a small boy, who, descending the narrow steps on the Church street side of the building leading from the side walk to the basement, crawled through the narow aperture between the last step and the ground, which, by actual measurement is scarcely eight inches wide. Thence the boy crawled through the window into the basement. The ground beneath the steps shows very plainly where it had been scratched as if by shoes. Fresh earth was visi- J ble in several places and the small opening between the last step and the ground shows evidence that a body had been' shoved through it. Inside the basement the supposed I boy walked up the stairway to the main store room and opened the door in the rear, through which his con federates entered. Nothing was taken from the rear part of the store, but going straight to the front the robbers prized open the show case in which the revolvers were displayed and took all save two pr three. Then turning to the shelves behind them cartridges I to fit the revolvers were carefully se lected. The booty was wrapped up in a horse blanket which had been cut and a portion of it left on the floor. In the show case were two Reming ton double derringers, four or five 32 and 38 calibre Colts, one automatic Colt, two 22 calibre Smith & Wesson, side ejectors, and about twenty 32 and 38 calibre Smith & Wesson revolvers. All were high-priced, the value of them being estimated at from $250 to $300. ■ On their way out of the store the robbers picked up the cash register and carried it to the basement where it was prized open and the contents, amounting to $6 or $7, removed. A half-dozen or more lap robes and a hammer, taken from the tool box, was found near the demolished register, showing that an attempt was made to break it open' and that it was wrapp ed in the blankets in order, to muffle the noise. The Southern Hardware people and the police are inclined to believe that the removal of the hammer from the tool box is evidence that the robbers were familiar with the store. Leaving the basement they lookedHn the office, which is also in the rear of the store room, and took with them a new $60 overcoat which had been left there Tuesday by Mr. Walter W. Watt. With these scant clues the po lice are working on the case. FRUIT NOT KILLED. Frost Heavy But Low Temperatures Didn’t Last Long. The frost that covered the ground Tuesday morning did little damage owing to the few minutes duration of the low temperature of 32 degrees. It is generally reported that fruit has not been injured. The plants of tender foliage and budding fruit trees were injured while the plants of larger fo liage and matured growth have suffer ed very little. A killing frost was reported Tuesday morning at Wilmington, and it is said all vegetables and fruit have been damaged, esjecially those of little foli age. A heavy frost was reported at Raleigh with freezing temperature and at Asheville the minimum temperature was 28 degrees. LEGM NOTICES, ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTOICE.
