ANOTHER DEATH IN THE CAMP
On Monday last another Of the hardy
lumbermen met death; the tragedy
occurring OH the logging railroad ol
Con Danaler.
Edward Furniss was the fireman on
the engine run by JOHN Quick. and II
had been bis practice to throw open a
switch Oh certain part of tie road, to
allow the train to pass. As the train
neared the switcli-the cars pushed In
front Of the engine-he would walk to
the rear car, or the ole then ut the
head of the moving train; by way of
the slender connecting beams. MFR. ID.
and foreman Magoon had warned him
Of the risk he wus running; but fanil-
isrity i Is to he presumed bred con-
tempt of danger.
Al the time Of the terrible occurrence
Magoon WAS ON the engine. AS Fur
Miss again started out OH the perilous
trip he had accomplished 80 many
times In safety, both Quick and the
foreman remarked his liability to be
injured. For u moment only was the
engineers eye turned, as he oiled the
cylinders; when again looking after
Furniss, he saw him falling. Tire en-
gine was reversed at once and stopped;
hut not before the forward truck of the
engine had crushed the left limb of tile
unfortunate man and rested OIL the
hip. Still retaining his presence of
mind, he called out" Quick I slack
her ahead!" and when the engineer
had moved the engine SO as to release
Furhiss, the latter was removed from
the rail and preparations at once began
to move him to Baldwin.
A message was Immediately sent to
DIR. w. Is. Mott, who started to meet
them. When the physician reached
the conveyance which was bringing |
Furniss tO town, an examination soon
convinced him that death must follow.
To the poor fellows inquiries as to the
Chances Of recovery, lie had not the
heart to make reply, and busted him
self In preparing medicine, as though
ue had not heard the question. The
last words Furniss uttered were: "Boys, |
how much longer, before we get to
Town 2" A few moments more, and
up his arms, he died.
The remains were brought to Bald
sis. and on the following day were
AIKEN to Chase, where his parents re-
'ided, for burial.
We learn that deceased was about
"A years of age. soter and industrious
u habit, and was well liked 10y those
vl.0 had employed, and those who had
worked with him.

Typhoid Fever

my right leg. At times that limb was

large as its natural condition, and infiamed
down small sores came, and at thu ankle a
large ulcer came, which discharged
poisonous matter. My whole system became
injected: The doctors would patch me up
for while, but the ulcer would never heal.

dosed me brought on rheumatism and
dyspepsia. l was an object OF pity to all nv
friends. Some thought that the only hope
ITO save life was amputation. continued to
grow worse, and for three years have not

menced Its use at once. From the very first
began to feel better. 1 have taken thirt :
six bottles and the shadows which had
dsrkened my life for twenty-eight years
have all been dissipated. The effect of the
medicine has been wonderful indeed To-
day am able to attend to all my farming
interests, and walk from one to FIVE miles
per day. 1 am satisfied that the disease is
entirely broken up, and henceforth am to
be free from those terrible apprehensions

for me in one year than all the drug store

bear this testimony of its merits.

Life ~ Nubia.

The banks of the Nubian Nile vary
with every mile, and beautiful are they in
diversity of color and combination,
though the beauty partakes of a stern
er quality than in the landscapes of
Egypt. Nowhere can be seen the rich
fields which stretched on either shore
away to the feet of the Lybian hills.
They have disappeared, and in their
stead rise from the waters depths tall
cliffs in broken precipice and crag, or
the river, owning freer bounds, flows
majestically on beneath rival streams
of bordering sands that have the gorg
es of the desert hills for channels and
the wind for current.
Poverty is written on the face of this
sun-scorched country, and such few
strips of fertile land as the Nile reaches
in its flood are titled with jealous care
by the scanty population which they
support. 1t is curious to note with
what religious care the villages and
temples have been placed upon the
shelving rock of desert sand, where
none but the lizards could begrudge
their presence. Every inch of land
that can be cultivated is coaxed to
Weld its burden of beans or doura, and
of spare land whereon to place their
villages, good sooth there is enough.
Poor though the Nubian is, his wants
are few, and his thrifty ways make
poverty a light burden to him. Travel
where he will for hire or trade, he
leaves his heart in the wild home of
Nubia, and returns hither when fortune
allows.
No music has for him SO great
charm as the melancholy creation of
the water-wheels, the constant plant
of which grease is never permitted to
diminish, all that he can get being de-
voted tc the shaggy locks of his untur-
baned head. Nature who refuses him
to dream of aught but lean kline when
he thinks of doura-fields, has given to
his land an abundance of date palms,
and on their fruit he virtually subsists.
Little cares the 1bremee palm for the
deserts envy, but spreading its feathery
leaves above the sand or rock gives to
its planter the much-prized fruit which
enables him to exc out the slender har-
vests of the fields Glasgow Herald.

the credit of making it complete

induced their mother TO visit some relatives
in Catawba, the affair was the more easily
managed, the friends having all assem-
bled at the house about II o'clock. When
Mrs. Z. Gray, on nearing home, beheld such
a large crowd at her house she exclaimed:
''Oh what in the world is the mstter?" She
thought perhaps her husband had been
brought home sick or wounded, but on re-
