A BEAUTIFUL GIRL
RARELY ESCAPES A LIFELONG CALAM-
TY.

It happened In this way: The
young daughter OF Mrs. E. S. Gibson,
Greelyvllle South Carolina, was slowly
but surely becoming hopeless invalid
Her mother became anxious and hag
gard IN her haggard efforts to save her
daughter. None of her attempts to
find a cure seemed of any avail. As
stated in her own words:
"My daughter was taken sick some
time ago and tried many medicines
in vain. She was very weak, appetite
poor, bowels costiye, and night sweats.
She appeared to be cold at all times.
Her nerves were in very bad condi-
ton. At last happened to see one
of your little books and wrote you. You
recommended Pe-ru-na. I gave it to
her and she has now completely recov-
cred. I owe all that / am worth in
this world to you Tor saving my daugh-
ter's life. I shall always keep supply
of your medicines on hand. May you
live long to help those suffering as my
daughter was.
Pe-ru-na always cures such cases

What use is there in eating when
food does you no good-in fact, when
it does you more harm than good, for
such is the case II 1t is not digested?
If you have loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, for it will
not be digested. You must restore the
digestive organs to their natural
strength and cause the food to be di-
gested, when an appetite will come, and
with it relish for food.
The tired, Ianguid feeling will give
place to v1gor and energy then you
will put flesh on your bones and be-
come strong. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial as made by the Mount Leban-
on Shakers contains food already di-
gested and is digester of foods as
we'll. It's action is prompt and its ef-
fects permanent.
Doctors prescribe LAxoL because it
has all the virtues Of Castor Oil and Is
palatable.

KILLED ON THE RAIL.
Heart-Rendlng Accident.

The afternoon train from Fayette
vile to Maxton Wednesday of last week
killed Mrs. Sim Tolar and her little
girl on trestle at Red Springs. The
writer was on the train that killed them
and we have never witnessed a more
heart-rendering scene.
There Is heavy grade just this side
the trestle and as the train pulled over
the grade at speed OF 80 miles an
hour, Mrs. Tolar was crossing the trestle
going to home in which she was stop
ping just across the stream from the
town. A great crowd of people had
just come from the Chautauqua taber-
nacle from the afternoon session. Mrs.
Tolar, her grown daughter, and two
smaller girls were crossing the trestle
and when the engineer blew they hur-
ried to get off. The others reached the
end of the trestle and stepped off, but
the little girl about 10 years old, STEP
ped between the cross-ties, and could
not get off before the train reached her.
The mother sprang to the track to save
her child but could not. The train
knocked her off the track to the ground
some twelve feet below and ran over
the child, grinding its little body to
powder.
A strong man on the train upon
hearing the whistle blow put his head
out of the window, saw the train knock
the woman off, and so horrible was the
sight that he nearly tainted. The train
stopped and passengers rushed out and
crowds came across the trestle who
witnessed the accident from the other
side, but mother and child were beyond
help. The mother was not mangled
save heavy blow on the side of the
head. The child's body was cut in
two, the lower part falling through the
ties into the mud below, and the upper
parts being crushed all along the track
for several yards. A little foot in one
place and little hand in another--the
scene was sickening to the stoutest
heart. The cries of the saved daughter
were most pitlful, and when the hus-
band came and viewed the lifeless form
of his wife and the awful death of his
child his agony was intense.
The Tolar family were from Rennert,
are good and excellent people and
we're attending the Sunday-school
Chautauqua. The remains were cared
for that night and carried away for
burial next day.
The Chautauqua appointed COM
mittee who drew up suitable resolutions
the sad accident, and great
sympathy was felt and expressed by
every one.
Persons who had travelled much said
1t was the most horrifying thing they
had ever seen. No sadder accident has

See the Visitors.
Scotland Neck has many visitors
Every season OF the year brings nu.
merous visitors to the town and com.
munity, and for the most part they
have pleasant time. But the young
men of the town do not call on lady
visitors unless they are especially in
vited to do so. In some instances this
may be the best "society etiquette" !"
but we doubt whether it is always best
to observe it. The family whom lady
is visiting may not be over careful
about inviting friends to call on her,
and in this way the impression may be
made that the young men of the town
are Indifferent about paying proper
attention to visitors.
While there is such thing as Civ
ing too much time to pleasure, there is
also possibility of lessening the proper
social pleasures by being too formal.

Does 1t Pay to Keep Stores Open at
| Night?
In Scotland Neck, as in most other
towns, stores are kept open until eight
o'clock the year round, and from the
first of September to the first of April
the stores are kept open to en- indefinite
hour every night.
The COMMONWEALTH has often sug-
gested to Scotland Neck merchants the
wisdom of closing earlier; indeed we
have never thought that it pays to
keep stores open at night at all.
In conversation recently with one of
the best business men in Eastern
Carolina, he gave us bit of his ex-
perlence in the matter of closing his
store. He said that while he was in
business he always closed his store at
dark, and his customers soon learned
that they could not do business with
him after that time.
As an illustration of how closely he
adhered to his rule he said that on the
day before certain Christmas he and
three clerks and colored man as
helper sold $500 worth of goods for
cash and closed at dark as usual.
Whether there was any business in
his way of work or not, the gentleman
in question made handsome fortune,
has been out of business for several
years, and is able to rest the balance OF
his life and leave large estate when
he dies.
